We attended a surprise 21st birthday party. It was held in the conservatory which was great as it is closed off from the rest of the pub so made it private. The staff were a great help, especially Nicola and Georgie. Would recommend hiring the room for your special event. Ordered food from the pub main menu. Service was fast and the food tasty.

We found this place to be very average. The service was okay, but no better than that. The food was generally disappointing. My prawn cocktail consisted largely of lettuce with a smidgeon of prawn and sauce. The beef and ale pie was the poorest that i have had for a long while. Our friends come here regularly and seem to enjoy it, but it is not for us

Went for a meal Saturday 26/10/24 at 7.15, service was good when we arrived, but had to ask someone to order dessert. I had the flatbread with kebab meat, which was very hard and crispy this was over cooked in my opinion, when I cut it, it shot across the table and landed on my friends plate. Luckily she had finished her meal. Been many times, and this was the first time I had this meal. Very disappointed 😞

When we arrived the system wasn't loaded on the computer, so they couldn't see our booking. the young girl walked us to the only 2 table in there in the dog friendly section which was under the Tv and next to the toilets. I requested a 3 seats on the bookings which the girl said 'well I suppose you can sit over there as you can't sit next to the window as you have a dog.' We have sat there before when it's busy with a dog. Seems like when it pleases you, you will sit us anywhere with a dog. But when it suits us you won't allow it. Once seated at a different table there was no one asked us if we wanted a drink whilst we look at the menu for 15 min so we ended up walking out. We will not be back. If you don't want to be dog friendly then don't be.

Our visit was very disappointing. I've lived in the area for many years and always known Farmer John's as the premier pub in the area. My partner and I finally went there last night and we were shocked! The greeter wore nothing to indicate she even worked there. Our waitress came over straight away to get drink orders and asked if we were ready to order,which we weren't because we only just sat down. We made our decision on what to order, but no more waitress. We had to go find here to give our order. When she came to take it, she was more interested in leaning on the wall and chewing her gum than anything we were interested in. Whilst the food was good (hence the '1' rating), we were never checked, and I finally had to go to the bar to pay since nobody was interested in us as a customer. Needless to say, we won't be returning. A true disappointment.

We had a lovely meal at the Farmer Johns, just a shame the quality of service and rude staff let it down and ruined our experience. We waited for ages for our drinks order to be taken on arrival. We then waited even longer for our drinks and for a food order to arrive. When the food arrived, we had 2 small gravy boat to share between 5 people! We asked 3 or 4 times before anyone brought more gravy out to us. The main meal was delicious and filling, as were the desserts, just a shame no one bothered to ask us how our meal was… We then asked 4 times for the bill… 45 minutes later the bill was finally brought to us. The server asked if we needed the card reader and we said yes. ANOTHER 40MINS passed and in the end we were ready to walk out without paying. We went to the bar where we were seen by Martyn the main manager. We explained we had been waiting forever and a day for the bill and for our money to be taken, Martyn didn’t say anything. My mother stated are we not going to get an apology or anything? His reply was ‘oh I’m sorry about that, we’re busy’ in a very sarcastic way. He asked where we were sitting for him to reply with ‘how are you paying for this then?’. No formal apology, nothing! We have been to the Farmer Johns a number of times in the past and had received excellent food and customer service… it’s very disappointing to see this pub has gone right down the pan, including its staff and customer service! We will not be returning!!

Lovely welcome as we arrived. Taken to our table and had the menu/ordering process explained. Once ordered the food arrived promptly. It was well presented and cooked. During our meal we were asked if everything was ok and could they get us anything to which we ordered another drink which was brought over to us. After eating the table was cleared fairly quickly. Nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect.

Fairly disappointed the venue looked nice but took ages to get served and the food was mediocre. Prices were about average. Drinks were not that great we ordered cocktails 2 for £11 and literally tasted like pop no alcohol at all. Sadly would not plan to visit again unless I was hungry and in the area.

Went for a late Sunday lunch and missed out on the roast chichen (they'd ran out), so opted for the large hand battered fish n chips instead. We'll, it was massive and extremely tasty.

We waited 2 hours for our food for the chicken to be dry. I personally felt it was over priced for what you get had better cheaper meals at Wetherspoons. felt service wasn’t great had to constantly get waiters attention. Ran out of beff and turkey only thing left was chicken and they were very stingy with the gravy. However had a good atmosphere but wouldn’t come again.

I went here last 6yrs ago and couldn't fault the place was fantastic food & service! But went sun 8th Sep 2024 we ordered Sunday dinners 3 beef 2 turkey , beef was full of fat! And gravy was minimal! Requested some more gravy was told they was short on gravy??? Then brought out a table spoon full, so demand a manager! He said he would sort it and brought a small milk jug half full! And he sed wud bring sum more out soon and wud keep an eye on it???which either happened! No 1 came n asked if our meal was OK or 2 see if we wanted anything else!! We had to request service for desserts which I must say was best part of meal! We ordered a coffee at same time ! I asked the Young watress to relay order back , it was a good job I did as she only had 3 desserts & 3 coffee's down ! ?? Ask for atmosphere & service, waitresses & waiter's standing talking at the side of where we where sitting. Just no dedication to there job ! It's like they where out socialising! It was one if my friends birthday meal as well ! So we wasn't happy 😕 🤔 😒 ALSO DISABLED PARKING IS TERRIBLE, ONE OF MY FRIENDS IS DISABLED AND HAD TO WALK A GOOD DISTANCE DO TO ONLY SMALL AMOUNT OF DISABLED PARKING SPACES NO NONE AVAILABLE 👎

Lovely pub with lovely food. It gets really busy in there, so it's always worth booking a table in advance. Downside to it is the bar. There are never enough bar staff considering just how busy it gets. The wait time to order drinks and food is ridiculous. It's a fight to get served because they serve whoever they see first, and considering its a U-shaped bar, you have to make yourself heard.

Was pleasantly surprised. Nice welcome, clean spacious pub. Took note of our request for a quiet table if possible and sat us in a quieter corner. Unfortunately was a long wait at the bar and no one was serving at all for a good 5 mins and about 5 people waiting. A bit quicker when we went back to order food but still could probably look at making sure there is always a few bar staff. Ordered 5 meals, a couple with some amendments and all 5 came out perfect, together and piping hot. I think we only waiting about 15 mins so we were all impressed and with 30% discount too. Would come back again.

Went for family birthday meal, group of 7 and cannot fault this place, lovely decor, friendly staff and very good food, my husband is usually a harsh critic when eating steak in a pub but said his ribeye was one of the best he s had and peppercorn sauce was amazing, my kebab meal was delicious and rest of family on fish and chips were also happy with food. We all had a great experience and will definately return

Food was ok but we are very disappointed to find that we have just received a parking ticket for parking in the pub car park. We did not see any parking signs as we were too busy helping our elderly mother into the pub. When we were shown to our table the server never indicated that this was something we needed to do so very annoyed to have this £60 fine to pay !

I would not class this as a 3 star hotel, calling it a hostel would definitely be more appropriate. Hallways smell of must and regret, with a new smell for each hallway. First room was nice and modern but an icebox (zero heating in back section of hotel, radiator leaking/not working), second room we were given was like the shining, hole in door too! Luckily no creepy twins in hallways but that’s my only positive. Full refund given (apart from £15 which they clearly need for refurbs).
