We used the 50% voucher deal to try this local neighbourhood gem. It was great value for money and excellent service. Happy to go back again. Food tasted really fresh.

Lovely food but rather slow service. Took 20 mins or so to even offer us a drink! Staff not particularly welcoming which is a shame.

Lovely Sunday lunch, service could have been a bit more attentive but otherwise good experience. Would definitely go again, interested in seeing what their evening menu is like

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.

I went with some friends for my birthday. Lovely warm atmosphere. We had good service from the staff and really good food. Slightly odd that they had run out of ice so couldn't do cocktails, but no other complaints.

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.

Great that dogs are allowed inside! Food was reasonable, there could have been more choice. Apple and blackberry crumble was a bit stodgy, could have done with more custard. We weren't asked if everything was alright.

Food was really really nice, wine selection was also very good. The restaurant itself is very cute and the staff were attentive without being constantly by your table. We had a lovely night.
