Fantastic food,brilliant staff.will definitely be back

Went here for lunch today and by the time someone came over to take our order us had just gone 3pm which is the end of the lunchtime menu. They then said they couldn’t offer the food I wanted due to this. Slow service. Ordered something else and the portion size of the beans was about a mouthful and a half - I asked for more and they tried charging me again! They finally brought out a bowl of beans free of charge but still tiny portion. I have had better experiences at other marstons restaurants. I won’t be returning.

We popped in for a quick meal after a very busy day of meetings. The service was brilliant and food great.

We were searching for a great pub meal outside of the city and went to Apple Cart on a recommendation. The menu is limited, and we were disappointed that they did not serve several popular dishes such as bangers & mash and shepherd pie. My guests were from the United States, and they wanted to eat some local cuisine. Not a place I would recommend for visitors from abroad.

Never have a problem. Staff were lovely as always and meals were hot and did not take long to arrive. Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely food and service. Very friendly staff and child friendly

Lovely staff, friendly and helpful. Food was very enjoyable

Great relaxing place to go. Food tastes good as well.

Served by Debi, incredible customer service and a very warm and welcoming smile! Empty plates all round!

Not impressed, went today for partner's mum's birthday & ordered the beef Sunday roast, what beef? Very disappointed with 2 very small slices one of which being full of gristle, ok if you're a vegetarian & like plenty of potato, will not be back as we travelled over 50 miles for this meal. Also bar staff very rude & abrupt when partner ordered a glass of wine!

This was our first visit and won't be our last. The staff made it fabulous but the food was also outstanding. Worth travelling from Scotland to visit.

Great food, very hot and delicious

Nice place to pop in for a light bite!!! Very family friendly.

Great staff, good delicious. Perfect enjoyable evening out! Thank you all

I went to quiz night and had a wonderful time charlotte served me at the bar and was very happy a cheerful and connor brought me my food and suck a lovely lad

Lovely friendly service. Anne marie was helpful

Good hot food, swift service and friendly team, great fun quiz. Portion size needs to be addressed, as £3.00 to add chips to a lasagne meal and getting just a handful of chips is not good value, when raised to waiter he stated it's the size of the scoop. Not good customer service. But will return as quiz is fun.

Manager Katie is amazing, great staff nice and friendly. Love this pub ....

Friendly welcoming pub,manager Katie is fantastic with the customers always feel welcome here,great food too

Always value for money and a decent pint too..

Lovely relaxing surroundings, friendly staff. Great choice of starters, mains and desserts,also a great choice on the specials board, all of the main meals are buy two for the price of one!... Had the gammon it was very tender and juicy. Two main meals and two drinks £15....loads of free parking and a nice outside area too... Very enjoyable and highly recommended...returned over a year later ....had to say very disappointed...no table service,order at the bar,the nice personal friendly service has gone...no drinks menu,be careful as charged £8.50 for a glass of wine!!!!.if was a menu would have maybe brought a bottle or had something else....not impressed sorry guys ...used the 30% voucher...one voucher a visit,not one per meal....not sure if will return.

Debbie and the team are always friendly and welcoming, they have got to know us well. Food is always well served and change the menu regularly

I was served my food today by Amber she was very polite and helped with any questions we had. At the bar I was served by Connor who looked very presentable and was great with allergen information he informed me that Jamie was the chef and that he would be extremely careful and clean making my food. The food was excellent and have never come to a pub and enjoyed my meal as much as today.

Spontaneous dinner with daughter food very tasty and a decent beer. A bit pricey for what we had but very nice. Staff pleasant.

Great food and service. Excellent at dealing with dietary requirements.

Friendly and quick service,nice food👍 Debi was particularly helpful and looked after us

Dropped in for lunch today - first time at The Applecart. It had quite a few tables covered but it is large enough that there were still plenty of tables free. Good pint of Guinness- always good for a star. The staff were pleasant and friendly and picked up the pace as it got busier. We could hear orders ding placed at the bar and every customer was asked about allergies- well done. I had the mixed grill and my wife the surf and turf. Both were very good with a special mention of the steak on both plates - sometimes real tatty bits of steak on mixed plates but these were excellent. Overall it was one of the best lunches we’ve had in some time. We will be back.

Katie and her team always make us feel special when we arrive

Always good service and excellent value for money. Food is always cooked well and nicely presented

Good pub food, easy parking. App to order on table didn't work. Staff not easy to find when quiet. Large interior. Lots of theme nights. Calm atmosphere.

Excellent service, great food, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff

Absolutely love this place great pub great staff and good Guinness

The table we booked should have had 7 seats but only had 4 when we arrived. We received an email from Marston's marketing list which gave us 30% off mains with no mention of restrictions, but the girl at the bar pulled out a different set of conditions from behind the bar which said excluding England days. The email was sent this week, which would mean the marketing team would clearly be aware of the Euros being on and should have put it in the conditions in the email. The get out of "we reserve the right to end the offer" would be an underhand way to enforce this and quite frankly has put me off coming for the final. To top it off, it was £4 for a pepsi max! Other than that the food was nice, but with everything combined not a great impression left.

Nice meal, quick service and good sized portions

Lovely Anne marrie served us, great service

At the Apple Cart for a family celebration. The food was great and the staff very helpful and friendly.

lovely and enjoyable experience. Amber was very hospitable and made my visit very nice 👍🏻

Shout out to Joseph for great customer service

Lovely food, can’t go wrong with the beers great service and staff. overall a great pub!

Nice food today. The club sandwich is really good value. It's changed a bit since I was last here. Table service no longer exists and the specials board has gone. There are some nice dishes on the menu's to choose from though. Staff were very pleasant.

Had booked a table so was forced to queue for as a single person served at the bar (approx 5 people in front of me ordering drinks) only to be told to pick a table. Several tables were not able to be used as they had not be cleaned. After sitting at a table, I attempted to order via the app ( the bar was still queued) only to find I had no table number, so I ordered using the table next to us. On attempting to order, it was clear that many of the items were not on it (mixed grill etc) so we were forced to change orders. Food was delivered before the drinks (5-8 minutes) with the drinks ariiving shortly after, we then asked for two side plates for the main sharing wings bowl (are we expected to both eat hot wings from the single bowl?) Overall quite disapointing.

Good local pub, service was great from Amber and the crew. Drinks a little pricey for Marston's, but not unduly so.

Great food and great service. Aaron is a top bloke

Great family friendly restaurant with good pub grub! Staff were super helpful as well!

Lovely place to eat with family and friends! Charlotte was amazing

Went to watch England in the euros with the boys & we were looking for somewhere with great food, decently priced beers, & above all a great atmosphere where we could see the game & enjoy a nice evening out. Well The Apple Cart absolutely ticked all the boxes on this one! Quick & efficient service from ultra-friendly staff (despite how busy the place was) a good selection of beers & ales, & the food lasted even less time than England`s lead did!!! I`d recommend a visit to anyone for a meal, even when there`s no games on. We`ll be back for sure, & let`s hope for a better performance & result to match everything else next time!

Great food, awesome service and really reasonably priced!

Meals are small for the price and don't like frozen chips

To be fair my food was ok, my wifes Chicken kebab with Piri Piri sauce however was cold, food returned apology received, we were advised it would be cooked fresh. Sadly i had finished my meal by the time my wifes came out, Chicken kebab with Mayonnaise, not the Piri Piri that was ordered. Having complained again my wife was given a pot of piri piri and left with a kebab smothered in Mayonnaise. Most of my wifes meal was left and we left. 3 other tables round us had ordered food, 2 tables had sent there food back (1 table complained 3 times), to be fair 1 table had not complained about their food, though when we left they were still waiting for it. We will not return, but please make up your own mind

Awful experience. Wont be returning anytime soon. If your chef sends out cold chicken he/she shouldnt be working in a kitchen !! Fact !!

We were seated in a quieter part of the restaurant which suited us with two young children. Discount was applied at till as it should have been. Our food took a little of half an hour to arrive but it was very busy inside the restaurant. Our food was hot and they had accommodated any change we'd requested. All staff were polite and asked if there was anything more we needed. There was a child's disco on which couldn't be heard in the main restaurant but was really well organised and enjoyable as we approached after our meal.

both of us had the kebab and they were delicious

Lovely meal. Service was good and didn’t wait long. Dog enjoyed her sausage. 😂

The Apple Cart is an outstanding establishment and cannot be faulted. The food, the service and the cost of the food are all exemplary. My only complaint is the elevated cost of the drinks.

A warm welcome by very helpful staff. No problem in sorting out my wife's meal to accommodate her dietary needs. Food was quite quick arriving and nice and hot. Thoroughly enjoy our meal. Filling & tasty. Definitely be coming back.

The meals came out quite quickly and hot good service with polite staff AND with a smile. However when ordering a nice stack it would be nice to add afew more mushrooms and not just half of one cut up.

A very pleasant experience with lovely food to go with it

Table of 4, reserved the table, very quiet for a Bank Holiday and no-one checked, so felt it was a waste of time booking. Some of the chips were cool, but rest of food was OK.

Lively atmosphere, great food and selection of beer. The staff is welcoming. Easy to park and find a spot. Seats available outside and dog friendly.

Polite friendly helpful advice food very good too

It wasn't too busy and we had a choice of table, we had to order at the bar and pay before receiving our drinks and food

My wife and I visited the Apple Cart on Saturday 27 April 2024. We had the most enjoyable meals and desserts. Everything was done for us by Katie at Peterborough Cardea. She was wonderful. She was very cheerful and polite to us. Thank you to Katie

Busy Saturday but good service and very happy with the food

Even thou quite busy there was no long wait for food. Staff very friendly and food good.

Went there today with family for grandaughter birthday lot food cold my wife chicken had paper stuck to bottom told them never came back garlic bread burnt cold

All staff anna marie and the blonde lady sorry forgot name was v nice . The service was great a nice time had by all

Good service at the bar and the food was good and reasonably priced.😊

As usual the staff are welcoming and attentive. I had pre-booked a table for 2, ordered drinks and sat at our table to chat and choose our meals. The process of ordering is quick and easy, obviously this is dependent on how busy the pub is. My companions meal was fine, I ordered the Hunters chicken which I had eaten several times before at The Applecart, I did find on this occasion the chicken was unusually dry, but not enough of an issue to cause a complaint, although I did mention this to the chap that cleared our table. On the whole though, a pleasant environment to socialise and eat.

Very helpful and accommodating staff lovely food. Totally recommend 👍👍

Great family meal reasonably priced. Really good staff, helpful and friendly. We were celebrating, so had a good few drinks, and there was lots of choice

The choice of menu was good, the atmosphere was pretty good too. One of our party ordered from the "Specials" on the board but it was unavailable, which was disappointing, but the food was served reasonably quickly and was all that you would expect of "pub grub", ie tasty and reasonably priced.

Good selection and service quiet and friendly staff.

The service and food at the Apple Cart was fantastic and the staff were friendly.

Lovely meal for a birthday celebration!

Pricey but food reasonable hot food served on cold plate

Good service great atmosphere well done thanks

Not enough staff. 25 mins waiting for food

Opted for the hunters chicken off the lunch menu for £8. However, the portion size was very small and left me rather disappointed and still hungry. Service was good as usual and staff always friendly.

Been a few years since my last visit and what changes have been made are all positive

It was good but no Dippin donuts

Staff were friendly. Food came out fast, was nice, hot and tasty. We could park up easy. Had a game of pool after dinner. Was a nice evening

We went on Good Friday so wanted fish and chips . Instead of going to our local fish and chip shop which I might add is always very good we decided to try the Apple Cart because we wanted to relax with a drink also . We found we were very impressed the fish was very large and no skin and Lovely and white . Very impressed the batter was light golden and crispy. Well done Apple Cart couldn’t have been better

Great service from Debi however massive complaint about the Apple Cart order service - we came as a group ready to pay our own way - 2 of us needed to pay upfront so Debi took our payments however the system wouldn’t let her then close that down (part paid) and serve other people.

Popped in for some lunch. Great service and very friendly by AnnMarie.

Been coming here for many years and used to be the best place to get a nice meal ( when it was bogof). It really went downhill with bland and dry food so we've not been for years. Shame as its our local. We decided to go and have lunch to see if it has improved. I can confirm it has slightly. The food was better than we have had in the previous few years, but it was OK, nothing special. I felt there wasn't that much choice on the menu; which was also sticky. No waiting staff anymore and have to order by the bar or through the app, but not all the meals are on there so kinda pointless. They have a children's play area with a few activity tables that was black with grime and no batteries. If you supply toys please clean it. I can see on Google they close a bit later now. 10pm was very early for a restaurant/pub. We used to go and play pool and had to leave before 10pm! Would be nice of they opened for breakfast as we dont have anywhere close by to get a breakfast without driving miles. Lots here that can be improved

We arrived at 7.15 as it said online open till 9, the kitchen closed at 7.30 so we quickly gave our order to Simon, friendly and helpful chap! Jo brought us our food quite quickly he was very friendly and polite, food was very nice. Only reason for 4 stars was because it was virtually empty but it was nice and quiet!!

Served by Joe, he was really chatty and made us feel really welcome. We had the Mac and cheese with pulled pork, goes great with a pint!

We had a table of 13, the service from Annemarie was excellent, she took the orders for food and drink, ensured food came out all together, checked regular to see if things were ok, cleaned tables as soon as finished with other members of staff, food was fresh and cooked well so Thankyou to the chef, all staff was pleasant and friendly.

Problem with food but Simon soon put it right well done

For was great service was great by our server joseph would recommend

our server joseph was amazing !

Good food, very quick service, warm atmosphere, friendly staff. Anne Marie very helpful.

Lovely staff so friendly and helpful! ❤️

Anne Marie and all the staff are absolutely banging and I have officially changed my local to the applecart because they are so friggin awesome

Lovely lunch. Simon looked after us very well.

The waitress was extremely friendly, wonderful customer service and the food was great!!

Coke was flat ,bar tender overfilled drink with lemonade mixer and had the personality of a wet weekend

Visited many times and always very good ,recommended Applecart to friends who have since visited and found everything as good as I said. Thank you

Great choice of very nice food three different meals and we all enjoyed it

The pub was clean and tidy. Staff very helpful. Ordering of food was an easy process. Food was tasty and cooked to our requirements. Will definitely eat there again.
