Best Sunday roast ever. My husband, son and daughter in law had the beef and I had the chicken - all very well cooked. Will definitely be back!

The food was amazing. We had beautifully cooked steak - tender and juicy. The bonoffee pie was also good. Fast, friendly yet pleasant informal service. It was not quiet but we found it lively and animated.

It was tasty food and good service, but we were stuck in the corner and it was a beautiful day so it would have been nice to sit by the window

Excellent service, lovely meal and a nice atmosphere. We were the only ones left in the restaurant when we left, but no pressure was put on us to hurry up. Most impressive though was that they noticed my wife had left her handbag behind and rang me within minutes of our leaving the restaurant. Many thanks!

If you like your roasts, then this is the place to come. The beef, lamb and belly pork are all very tasty dishes and the meat is very tender. Great atmosphere too.

A nice pub but beware, this is a pub for babies who bring their parents along. More kids that adults most of the time and overrun with buggies. so great if you want a kid friendly place, not great if you are a couple and want a quiet meal. Food is normally good. this time i had a fish cake that was deep fried and not that nice, friend had a salad that looked great and fresh. Service was a little slow, just one gril running around kept trying to get their attention.

Food delicious but acoustics in the pub are dreadful and its quite hard to hear what anyone around the table is saying. The table next to us commented how 'noisy' it seemed to be for a Monday night too (even though it wasn't actually full. Just loud).

Far too noisy. A big table next to us 20+ people made such a racket, we couldn't have a conversation between ourselves. Food and wine was delicious, but the noise from the other table will be the overriding memory.

This is a very nice venue. There was a good choice on the menu and also on the specials which didn't seem to run out until later on in the evening. The meal was nice and the service also good.

This chain of local pubs/restaurants are rightly very popular. Excellent staff and decent/good food. The Bolingbroke offers a solid menu and, on this Christmas occasion, had made a real effort with the ambience

The pub itself is really nice and a great location but those were about the only positives. We waited about 20 minutes before anyone came over to even take a drinks order let along give us some menu's. The staff were unfriendly, the roast beef was thickly cut and overdone and the vegetables were undercooked. For what we get the meal worked out at about £40 per head which we felt was very overpriced. Won't be going again.

Great service but the food was average; the ploughmans lunch wasnt that exciting: salad, a bit of cheese, chutney and bread. The chicken parmigiana that I had for dinner wasn't anything special. It's something that I would have expected at a beefeater or in a ready made meal. We paid half price for food as we dined in August and I think that was the right price for that food.

It didn't deliver on its potential - to their credit they recognised this and did everything they could to sort it. Will try again maybe
