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).

Excellent food. Service was outstanding. They were very flexible with regard to children, as well as amendments to the menu. I would recommend and would return.

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.

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 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.

We had a super Sunday lunch at the Bolingbroke. Great service, food and ambience. There was a high chair and crayons ready for the 2 year old and the staff were attentive without being pushy. I cannot recommend it highly enough and we shall be going again.

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.

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.
