Standard pub grub with table service. Ale lines are always being cleaned so not available. Frequent 30% offers makes the prices more reasonable.

As mentioned about allergens below. However I ordered the sausage & mash which states sautéed onions, the meal I received had raw red onions practically thrown on top which is not up to standard. Just feel that more effort could be made!

Really disappointing food quality. My wife had the sunday roast chicken I had the larger roast beef. When the food arrived our server only provided 1 gravy boat to suit the both of us. This was no way near enough gravy for us so I asked for extra and I also had to ask for the extra portion of beef I had paid for. Whilst I know portion sizes are not a standard my wife had more vegetables than myself but I appeared to of had a child's menu size portion ov vegetables. But had more than I could eat roasters. Really strange to of had a spoon of mash potato. 3 broccoli florets and on 3 small sticks of carrots. The beef was well over done way too chewey, dry so much so that gravy disappeared into the beef. My wife's chicken was overdone and too chewey. So on this occasion the food was well below standard. I wasn't alone either. Other diners were returning food as they too were not happy.

We're a group of female pensioners who used to work together, and we all go out for lunch every couple of months. Usually we go to the Queslett but they stopped doing our favourite, jacket potatoes and we found that Farmer John's did them so we gave it a try. Great food, service, menu and prices, so we'll definitely be going there next time.

The food was very nice and well presented. However the general ambience leaves much to be desired. Unruly children running around, one in particular playing with a football amongst the diners.We don't normally expect this kind of behaviour in an eating environment.

Food was tasteless and very small portions for a rather pricey meal. Honestly we have eaten at some very nice places for roughly the same price. Service was a person bringing our meal and never saw anyone else again. No I would not recommend, nor would I return.

Booked table for 2pm for mother's day You were offering a set menu, when we went to order no prawn cocktail left - found this unacceptable at 2pm surely when you are offering a set menu you would ensure you have ordered enough. We ordered 3 courses was asked after starters if we were ready for main course. Plates were cleared after main course, but no desserts arrived. Had to ask at the Bar where it appeared they had been forgotten. Had to ask for fresh cutlery for each course. Overall quite disappointing.

Allegy advice on menu is poor causing severe allergic reactions in a child. Manager was rude and uncooperative when asked for simple refunds. Then following day the entire family had gastroenteritis from the food. Very very disappointed. The pub was grubby tables weren't clean so was menus sticky covered in food. Management wasn't in management attire and did not represent the pub/restaurant with the right professional manners (eye rolling, rudeness and not the knowledge to deal with simple customer requests, including them going talking about the customers to other staff members within ear and eye shot). Appalling behaviour.

Good food menu , with more veggie dishes than most other restaurants, plenty of traditional pub dishes and a really good desert menu , I have to return just to try the jam sponge and custard (I want to see what the custard portions are like, always a good test for me) The service was surprisingly fast considering they had a large wake party to attend to.

The Sunday roast was not nice. Dry beef and hard roast potatoes the mash was hard as well in weird hard clumps. We’ve had a bad roast here twice now so we won’t be coming back. I think we spent about £18 each with one soft drink each and we didn’t eat hardly any of the food. The staff were lovely it’s just the food was terrible we didn’t bother telling the waitress as she was rushed off her feet managing a large section on her own.

We had a table booked for us at 1pm when we got there we were informed that although they had our booking they had no table for us! I am on a mobility scooter and we normally have table 1 as it is easy for me. We were offered a very small table next to the toilets which was very difficult for me. We were then told we needed to order at the bar and there would be quite a wait as they were busy. We decided not to stay as we wouldn’t have been able to get 4 plates of food and drinks on the tiny table we had been given. As we walked out the manager spoke to us we told him why we were not staying, he didn’t even apologise. We have used this pub for around 6 years but have never been treated like this. There were none of the usual waitresses there who are normally very polite and really helpful.

The lady who served me was absolutely lovely, very helpful, and couldn't do enough. The food came out, and the chicken and ribs were lovely. I had the Megamix grill, and it was burnt, and it was disgusting. Nobody came over to the table and asked how the meal was at all. Asked about a container to take the rest of the ribs home, but I was told I could have some tin foil, so I waited 15 minutes, and then I left because I was sick of waiting.

We have been a few times now but last night went as a family of 3. Table 31 was our booked table which consisted of two high backed farmhouse type chairs and 1 low sofa type chair. As we were there for dinner and it was very busy I could see there was no chance to move tables. It was very uncomfortable to eat properly as I was sat in the low chair and I probably wouldn't have been any better with the other chairs either as I am quite small. That said the food was lovely and the atmosphere was good.

Now the people who moan about having to get up and order at the bar need to go home or stop being lazy! I don't mind ordering at the bar as often in some places we get forgotten, I don't mind having to wait as long as we get our food! Some people need to remember they are in a pub not a 5 star Michelin star restaurant. Isn't it better to be the best at the simple stuff and exceed your expectation which is exactly what Farmer Johns does best! Was greeted by Craig who I have seen before, works very hard unlike some, goes above and beyond to look after us! What a credit to your pub, food was great, hot and tasty, nothing to complain about especially in the past when we recived vouchers, lovely atmosphere created by a dillagent manager Craig who knows how to organise and get the best out of his team! Well done all!

Food and service was great. But allowing dogs into a restaurant is not hygienic. 4 dogs in there and they were constantly barking at each other. At least 2 were sitting on chairs at the table. The owners and staff did nothing about it. I won't be going again if dogs are allowed in. Avoid

It was very busy and I could clearly see that the operation for serving food was spot on, the only downside I did have was the service at the bar was very slow as the staff were also taking food orders as well as drinks which made the wait longer, there were 2 staff serving and with how busy it was there needed to be another 1 or 2 also serving at the bar. But I will still give 5 stars, No other faults at all it was excellent service. We had the ultimate chicken burger and the cowboy burger, both very nice and portion size was more than adequate.

Well, I booked the table for dining at 7..30pm online (times up to 9pm were available). We arrived on time and was told we needed to order really quickly as the kitchen was closing in 5 mins and had no time to have a good look at the menu. I told the waitress I didnt understand as dining options were available up to 9.30pm online and she just shrugged. I would have been fuming if I’d have booked my table at 8pm to be told the kitchen was shut. I said they needed to update the website but staff didnt seem to care. Food was very average too, i really wanted fish and chips but it wasnt available and it all just seemed very rushed. I’ve only been lunchtimes before but don’t think I will come again to dine in the evening. I was disappointed.

Food was very quick coming out and was lovely. We had mains and desserts and drinks. The service was friendly although rather slow collecting the plates from the table. My only concern is that Farmer Johns has reverted back to an ‘order at the bar pub’ again rather than table service. We were a party of five, paying separately, so this put strain on the bar staff when all 5 of us were at the bar ordering our food, and other people were waiting to order. And of course this was then repeated when ordering desserts. It’s not ideal and a bit of a shame, however it didn't detract from our evening and we all commented on how nice the food was.

Booked online for 4 people at 3pm. When we arrived told there was only a bar table which had dogs by it. Didn't want to sit on a stool as one of the party had just had a operation so would be uncomfortable and we didn't want to eat by dogs also. Was told then we should have phoned to book a table so we could choose what table we wanted. I think the booking online needs to change then because it doesn't say anything about different tables or if you will be sitting by dogs which isn't acceptable if you are allergic to dog hair.

We had a booking for 8 people which the staff originally Sat us on a table for 8 people, another booking complained by stating they needed to be sat by the toilets so we were asked to move, we then we moved to two tables of four one of which was a booth which made it very difficult to communicate due to the amount of background noise, we decided to push the tables together which again wasn't great or comfortable. If you are going to allow bookings for 8 people you need to make sure the tables are able to be joined together. The food wasn't of a very good quality and most things were over cooked or burnt. Items were missing from our order when delivered to the table and we had to ask a number of times to get this right.

Lovely food and big portions we go for the gluten free menu as it has plenty of options. We like the farmer Johns atmosphere and layout. The staff are always professional friendly and knowledgeable and happy to help. The only reason I didn’t give full stars was because of the price it cost us close to £100 for a meal drinks and puds for a family of 4 and that was with a 30% off mains. We can’t do that very often!
