Tapas that you would get at a Spanish bar served as mains for close to mains prices. One dish was £10 plate of 5 sausage slices with a fragment of gherkin - we ordered lots off the menu “to share” -as there was no other option and nothing listed as a main in a poorly designed menu all portions were meagre - left hungry and annoyed having spent a lot of money for very little. The whole experience was confused and designed to extract cash from the punters for as little as they could get away with. All the photos show a plate that is just over the size of tea cup saucer. This used to be my local pub that I went to for 10 years - if this is what it has become I will not return. Deeply frustrating and undermined what was meant to be a special event.
A really excellent Gastro pub. Exceptional food, wine service and dining room. And the Tuesday and Wednesday 2 courses for £20 is incredible value for the level of cooking being done here. Bravo!Food: 5/5
So, here's the deal: the food, it's nice, cooked well and all, but it's like it's missing that little kick, that extra oomph. Fresh ingredients, yeah, Mediterranean menu vibes, but could use a pinch more seasoning to really make it sing. Started off with the aubergine and the pardon peppers, which were lovely but frustratingly underseasoned, so nothing to write home about. Then onto the mains – the lamb chops, a tad under seasoned and chewy, but not a deal-breaker. And the fish? Surprisingly tasty, certainly the best dish that we tried and yet still begging for a bit more flavour. This gastro pub's got potential, no doubt about it. But the service? Let's just say it was a bit off. Looked like the staff might've had a brawl backstage before hitting the floor. The mood was quite sombre. I guess there are off nights and that was a Tuesday. I'm certainly willing to come back and give it another go!
The food is so tasty. So much so, I ate it before realising I didn't take a photo. I had lamb with roast potatoes and cabbage, which had a little too much fat on for me; I cut around it, but I got a good portion. The service was friendly. Bit rubbish that the kitchen closes at 5.30pm. Otherwise, no complaints. The art on the walls are also interesting
Really good Sunday Roast. A lot of Gluten free options - just bring your own gravy if you want that with the roast! Would definitely recommend. Lovely vibe too.Food: 4/5
Tried the two courses for £20 offer. Excellent food and friendly staff.Food: 5/5
I've eaten here many times over several years - both lunches and dinners - and I think that the current average rating 4.4 is on the low side. The menu changes frequently and is unusually ambitious for a pub. Fortunately, it delivers on the promises made and the food is high-quality, skillfully cooked and generously portioned. The dining room has very high ceilings, giving a welcoming feeling of space. Although the kitchen is semi-open, the extraction system means that cooking smells stay away from the diners. The service is very good. The art on the walls is something of an acquired taste. The only points of improvement I can think of are that the smell of cigarettes can waft inside when people go into the covered patio to smoke and the toilets could do with a little tlc.
They hosted us for a private event in the upstairs function room. Food and service were truly outstanding. Would particularly recommend the olives and the cauliflower cheese croquettes!Food: 5/5
Delicious dinner yesterday in the renovated gastro pub. Service was superb & food delicious. I’ve been dining here for decades & it’s finally back to its best. Marco was especially friendly & charming!Food: 5/5
Myself and 2 friends called in early evening. The staff were not welcoming or friendly. No eye contact or care. My friends wanted to talk so we asked if it was OK to sit in the dinning area . Despite a couple of folks being in there we where told no its not really open ??? I don't mind watching or listening to the football, however the sound was stupidly loud ! We ordered chips ...the oil in the fryer clearly needs changing . More staff arrived but where very slow to clear our glasses and bowls etc. The worst staff experience I have ever had in our local area . They are clearly unmotivated and can hardly lift there heads from gazing at the ground as they plod slowly around. Guys I feel so sorry that your bosses do not motivate you or train you to do better. Its not cheap to drink or eat out so when people do it really needs to be a good overall experience.
