Nice & clean pub/restaurant, sizzling Prawns were more like Sweet and Sour Prawns rather than a tandoori style. Chicken Balti was in a fruity sauce, strange dish. Definitely not for me.

Party of 4 work colleagues went for early dinner. Food was incredible (chilli fish especially) and so plentiful that they boxed our leftovers for us. Highly recommended

The food and service was good. The only issue was the confusion we got from different staff when we asked about vegan dishes on the menu. We were given the right information and the staff were very helpful with this but we were told one thing from one staff member and a completely different thing from another. Apart from this the whole experience was enjoyable and would deffinately come back again.

Great twist on a regular pub, but far too busy on a Saturday night. I had previously been here during the day which was a more positive experience. Booked a table but had to go looking for serving staff to claim our reservation. Whole experience felt very rushed if you stop chewing for a moment your plate will be cleared. The same person who cleared our plates came back 2 minutes later asking if we were waiting for our mains, which seemed like a hint for us to leave. Dips and chutneys served with popadoms were just different coloured hot sauces, very unpleasant. Our mains didn’t taste bad but didn’t taste great either. I would recommend coming here during a less busy time to get better service and food as the first time I came to this venue I told several people it is worth the visit as everything was amazing.

Had booked a table , barman didn't know how to pull a pint , sat down and waited for order to be taken, was sat there for 20 minutes before someone eventually said you had to order and pay up front at the bar, when the food arrived after an age its was inedible, swimming in oil, no refund offered , just given a couple of drinks that was less than the cost of the meal, then hurried out of the place as they wanted the table. Wont be going back again

Too many diners and not enough room. 4 of us sat at a table only big enough for 2. I struggled to get out of my seat as I couldn’t move it back as another diner was squashed in behind me.

Food was good however the Seating arrangement was a bit too congested. Too many waiters but hardly anyone comes to your table to check if everything is ok. Sauces for the starters were only provided after being asked, would expect a better service for the price of the food.

Food was superb. There was a broad spectrum of both age and backgrounds of staff and customers; which is bar far the best mix you want in a pub. Considering how busy it was (very), the service was good. We were recommended to visit the place and We shall certainly recommend it to others. I personally will be using The Covered Wagon again.

When we arrived the pub was heaving and it took a while to find the waiter to give our name to. When we finally did we were shown to our table. We chose our food fairly quickly but as it was so busy it took 20 mins at the bar queuing to order our food. It then took 75mins to arrive. The food is very good and excellent value for money but the service was terrible. They had taken on too many orders and to get our food after 10pm was far too late. Its certainly put me off revisiting.

Wonderful staff. Go above and beyond . Food beautiful and very good portions. We booked a table for 7. Table was ready on time even though it was extremely busy.scored 4 and not 5 due to the location of our table being close to the bar . People standing very close to us. Many looking and waiting for a table . Would definitely recommend and return again . Would ask to seat further back in the pub , away from the bar .
