Amazing service and staff! We love this place. Jess and the team look after you so well, and its a great venue. They have recently changed the menu which is nice, but I was sad to see they have taken off the Chilean Chardonnay as it was a super wine. We will be back, as there is always a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Delicious food, great service and great atmosphere! We went for a girly Sunday lunch and weren't disappointed. The roast chicken was so tasty and the perfect potion, I would wholeheartedly recommend it!
The food was excellent and really decent sized portions. A lively, buzzy atmosphere but not too noisy. Staff were attentive yet discreet. Would happily go back.
Efficient and friendly service. Super characterful London pub with a buzzy atmosphere and space to sit at the bar. Food pretty good. Would definately recommend.
Great atmosphere, great service and food, as always. Will come back there very soon and will recommend to anyone looking for a nice gastropub !
We booked an early table for the Saturday night and were put in the back room where all other table were empty for a good 45 minutes. We were put on a small table next to the door to the kitchen which was in constant use and caused sucha draft we ate with our coats on. When we asked to move to another empty tabel we were ignored for well over 5 minutes and told they were waiting for the manager to approve it as people ahd booked particular tables. Not happy.
What's happened here? Normally the food is very good but this time we were presented with soggy chips and a 'grilled' mackerel caesar salad which was like a piece of curled up rubber on a few wilted leaves. Hopefully just an off day :(
Food good but VERY VERY noisy for any table in the front near the bar. Conversation very difficult if not impossible which detracted from the experience.
It was relatively quiet on a Wednesday evening but as always the food was fantastic. A really lovely pub overall and one I look forward to returning to
Great, particularly with kids!! Good food, drink and service too!
Asked for solarium, didn't get it - a bit disappointing. Overall on point service, good food and brought the cake out with candles to the right person. So all in all, really good.
Great food, friendly atmosphere. Lovely local pub with welcoming service. A cosy place to meet friends when it is cold outside. delicious sweet potato chips !
Venue is beautiful, food is amazing and staff is super friendly! Definitely worth a visit. Front is like a pub but in the back they have a dinning room too.
Great atmosphere, efficient service and lovely food! Will definitely go back, specially as it is my new local! Need to book in advance on busy nights
Excellent friendly service and delicious food, we had a great evening at the Bolingbroke. We will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu!
Roasts were really nice and service was kind and friendly. If you want to be seated in the main dining room make sure you specify on your reservation
I love the Bolingbroke for the atmosphere and their huge Sunday roasts. The wine list could be improved. Needs more bold, smooth reds! Can get very noisy in the back room if the decorations aren't up (which absorb some of the sound).
Food, staff and atmosphere of the Bolingbroke are always amazing. Would go more often if I could find a table that is how good it is
Excellent throughout. Great food and friendly welcoming service. There are many restaurants to choose from in the area. Not many that we return to. The Bolingbroke is the exception, we are never disappointed.
My boyfriend and I spent our anniversary dinner here. The Sunday menu was great, lovely food and a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely recommend to our friends
A really lovely gastro pub, one of the best in the area. Amazing, friendly and quick service - and absolutely delicious food in a beautiful setting. We loved it!
Always good atmosphere and great food at The Bolingbroke. Service was friendly and reasonable prices for food and drink. The only thing that would make it better is if it were that little bit closer to home.
Friendly waitress but rather rude bar manager who said no kids after 8pm (we arrived at 7pm) and made no effort to be jolly. Good food though
Great food, service and atmosphere. We go to the Bolingbroke regularly and are never disappointed. I can't recommend it highly enough. We had a lovely Sunday lunch there, the food is always super.
Great experience, lovely food with a warm atmosphere and good service.
Lovely pub with great selection of food and excellent service. Would highly recommend the Sunday roast.

Very nice atmosphere service was very good ,staff friendly food was very good would recommended to friends will definitely be going back in near future.
On our visit we had great food, service and atmosphere. Definitely will be going back there again. The Bolingbroke is also in a very accessible location
Very happy as always. Definitely one of my favourite pubs and will be back soon and often! And the January half price deal helps too.

Excellent food and lovely atmosphere! The wine list is extensive and the staff and more than helpful with any queries. My extended family always make the effort to visit the Bolingbroke when they're here from overseas.
This is a lovely restaurant and bar with really friendly staff. A good varied food and drinks menu with well presented dishes - what more could you ask for?
Food was lovely but service was incredibly slow. I undertand Sundays are busy but this was really slow. Table we had was bumped into by a male member of staff a few times without one apology or slight akmoledwment. Overall an ok experience.
Great food, delicious wine, excellent service in a warm and friendly environment, lovely evening. Loved the still and fizzy water which was just brought to the table throughout the meal, much appreciated!
excellent food and service - been coming to the Bollingbroke for years and never had a bad meal and never made a complaint - great team delivering excellent service
Brilliant menu. We all had trouble deciding what to have. The restaurant was busy but we were still able to hear each other so would recommend for group.
Brilliant pub/restaurant! Staff were really helpful & friendly, food was amazing & very family friendly. Make sure you reserve a table on a Sunday!
Good food and friendly service. Very nice atmosphere. Food was very good. All in all happy with the experience. Great to be able to book online and change booking to add an extra person at the last minute via email. Thanks.
Consistently great experience at the Bolingbroke, one of my favourite pub meals. And so festive at the holidays, too! Will definitely be back again soon.
Beautiful Christmas decorations creating a real atmospheric restaurant. It was a great festive menu with generous portions. Thank you also to the efficient and friendly staff!
Very good food with a very generous portion of chicken in the Caesar salad. Friendly service. I'm glad that I have discovered this gastro pub, since I live locally. It was recommended by a neighbour
We had a most enjoyable meal at the Bolingbroke. The service and food was excellent and it has a great family atmosphere. We'll be back.
Disappointing. We were a party of 5 + an 8 year old. Very noisy (had been warned about this by friends) may be it's the wooden walls. Strange mismatched chairs, some 'school' wooden chairs, hard & uncomfortable, the ones with (worn & marked) round padded cushions were too high. Staff not very interested, nice Sunday menu. My roast lamb was very chewy, the vegetables were far too 'al dente' and could not be cut with a knife. We were not asked if we enjoyed our meal or I would have complained about the lamb. Had to ask for mint sauce which came as a le of mint from a jar of shop-bought not very nice mint sauce. Sea bass was tasty as was the pork but it was not a cheap meal and did not live up to expectations. We will not go there again.
Good range of beers , interesting menu and food well cooked and presented A good gastrop - went at lunchtime in mid week and well patronised so obviously popular locally
When we arrived the table was not ready for another 20 minutes. We were also then put on a very small table so our meal was cramped. We had three buggies with us, which I pre warned them about, but there was no where for them to go. So My husband and i had to eat passing our baby between us. The food was fine, but we felt rushed as we only had a two hour time slot. That's not long enough for a group of six.
Great for a Bank Holiday lunch with friends and children. Really relaxed atmosphere, and good food. I'd like a little more variety and creativity on the menu, but perhaps it was just limited because we had the Sunday menu.

great food, lovely wine, great atmosphere. Portion sizes were huge. Great value for money. Service good considering they were very busy when we attended. recommended
Delicious and interesting food, good service, good ambience, and very child-friendly. A really enjoyable lunch, and we'll certainly be coming back to sample more cooking.
Great service, delicious food and with a wide menu choice all at a reasonable price. The staff were all extremely pleasant and very attentive without being intrusive.
