The clue's in the name Great Ale, as there is always tasty cask ale and other drink options available.

As a regular weekends visitor I've always asked for a pint pot taken from right back shelves rack rather serve from out straight from hot dishwasher it causes the lager tastes funny can be annoyed me at times and I would always take it back to the bar it does happens at times I can always tell by the taste of it (just in case do keep a watchful eyes on barstaffs if you order a pint serves straight from the dishwasher the chemical from it which can cause funny taste like taste flat) it would be great if they install fridge freezer for various empty pint pots the better the taste it will be would be ideal for all year round. 😋.

Been going here since it first opened but I must say given the current Corona situation I was very disappointed with the staff hygiene. Please don't cough into your hands and not wash them, then proceed to serve people. Needless to say I will not be coming back until staff are educated. Hi Steve sorry this is the only way I can reply to you. The newish male staff member is tall with beard and tatoos.

Spent an afternoon chilling in the Cave bar. Nice range of cocktails and draft beer, and a small range of board games. They are slowly expanding this range, but it is a clever idea which turns a nice but simple bar into a fun chillout spot to hide in with friends.

Food here used to be the best, however, recently they have started to use boxed findus type fish not the fresh battered they used to cook. Customers used to queue outside but not anymore. In my opinion, quality has gone down and the price has gone up. Try another chippy.☹️

Although myself and my wife Susan have enjoyed a drink at La Roma on a few occasions we have never eaten there but decided to do so last weekend. We booked a table in case the restaurant was full and were glad we did as it was very busy . We were shown to our table and were given a menu , there were plenty of meals we fancied but Susan chose the sea bass whilst i had a chicken meal which came in a tomato & red wine sauce which I asked to change for peppercorn which they were happy to do. We were told the meals would be about fifteen minutes which was fine and they duly came on time. There is only one word to describe them , excellent , probably the best meals we have had anywhere in a long time. The only slight negative and it is not a criticism but we were unsure who was taking the orders as we could only see one person going from table to table , maybe an extra person doing the same would help . We will certainly be going back to the restaurant in the future and will be happy to recommend it to anyone who is thinking of going there .

Fuimos con un grupo de amigos el viernes pasado en unos 12. 45:00 h. Otro grupo familiar llegamos al mismo tiempo esperando restaurante abierto. No hay avisos parecían en la oscuridad. Ciertamente no parece ser un lugar particularmente agradable para comer - zona oscura del sótano. Así que fuimos somelse.
