Me and my wife just had a fantastic Sunday lunch with our 7 week old son. The food was spectacular and extremely good value. The staff did everything they could to make sure we had enough space for the pram and my wife felt comfortable to breastfeed. Sam, our waitress was so lovely and helpful. Thanks to the whole team. It’s not often you go out and get service like this anymore, a huge thanks from us.

Ordered two meals from the menu which read two items for £16.50. So we had one Steak and Ale pie and Chicken with Bacon and cheese. We ordered two Apple pies for pudding. Total £33.00. We also had a pot of tea for two. Went to pay the bill and was asked for £51 something. £18.00 for pot of tea? Am I missing something about the prices on the menu. Didn't want to cause a scene in the restaurant so payed up but not happy. I have to say though that the actual meal and environment was very good.

Really disappointed with the change of menu. Not as great as it used to be, Korean chicken used to be lovely, now to see it removed is very disappointing. Calamari was very bland, no flavour nor did the dip have that came with it. Steak for main was bland, no flavour at all. The garlic and butter dressing was overpowering, ruined the plate. For 21 pounds it really wasn't worth the money.

Disappointing birthday lunch overall. Although the waitress tried hard she appeared at times to be the person on duty. When a waiter appeared he seemed disinterested in the role he had. Food was disappointing with some overcooked and others undercooked. Felt unable to complain whilst there as we were present as guests.

We came here last night for a Burns Nite 4 course dinner. We had only ever been a few years ago and had left mid-meal that time as the service was so terrible, so we were a little anxious this time…. We had worried for nothing. We had the 4 course Burns Nite menu and was very impressed with the choice of food, the speed of service, nice friendly staff considering the pub was very busy, and delicious well presented food. One negative…It is a little weird that the drinks menu doesn’t really feature prices for about half the drinks options available? We ordered drinks and only found out the price when the bill came… my partner had a non-alcoholic drink which was so expensive he could have probably had a beer instead if there had been prices on the menu. This pub feels very relaxed and spacious (tables are well spaced from each other) so I’m sure we’ll be back again.

I visited on a Saturday early evening after suffering watching LTFC play and lose earlier in the day. The family needed a pick me up so we decided to go for a meal out. I've always like the location and atmosphere of the Green Man and the food has always been pretty good to okay. Well let's just say the food we received was the final insult to a very poor day. I ordered the the Steak & Ale Pie which was the greatest example of false advertising. The pie that turned looked a good size with a nice colour to the pastry however the meager amount of chips and dried winter veg was a joke. I thought ahh well at least the Pie looks good, boy was I wrong. I cut into to the Pie to find it was full of air, gravy and gristle. There was no meat in that pie, I really question whether the owner and or Chef has ever tried himself. Totally recommend you change supplier. My daughter ordered Fish and Chips again very disappointing the batter was soggy and again with a lack of chips. My son had the 8oz Sirloin steak ( Medium), it was tough and was a very small piece. My Wife enjoyed her Chicken Duo meal, so 1 out of 4. The menu isn't on the cheap side and in no way does this bother me if the food is good and you have a nice experience. Will only return if you work on your food quality.

Sadly this pub has been on a decline for a while and is now plummeting. It’s our local so wanted to give it another try for the new year but sadly nothing has changed since our last few visits last year. It’s actually got worse. The young lady and young lad front of house are all that keep us going. They are lovely and polite even though all we heard during our visit were complaints. My starter was the bbq chicken which was lovely. My child had garlic bread which was good. My wife had ‘ Creamy Garlic Mushrooms’. The ‘s’ being important. A slice of bread arrives with a Singular mushroom (not plural) and some sauce. We raised our concern and were told they agree it’s wrong and said that’s what they now do. Point 1. Whilst we sat waiting for our main, we discussed our concerns and disappointment of how it was going down hill. However we then got lite entertainment in the form of the chef arguing with the staff. The bar manager expressed to the chef in his own words ‘what is going on? I am bringing every plate back half eaten…’ the conflict went on and got heated. The lovely young lad bar side tried to usher them out of the restaurant. Two chefs then discussed the whole thing bar side. The mains then came out. Nervous we were. I had chicken burger, my wife had duo of chicken and our daughter had pizza. My burger was nice but only had a slither of chicken… maybe 7mm thick. The onion rings were inedible. Our daughter’s pizza was direct from Iceland and looked like a flan. The centre wasn’t even cooked. My wife’s duo chicken was a lump of boiled chicken with a drizzle of sauce. The rice was flavourless and possibly a packet rice? Desserts- we didn’t bother. We didn’t want further disappointment. Overall - the front of house staff were all fantastic. They were sadly equally as disappointed. They understood and agreed with all our concerns. They rectified and dealt with our complaints very well. However, I really wish we just walked away with full bellies and great memories instead.

Well we met up with a family member before Christmas, who travelled from Manchester. To say my meal was awful would be an understatement. I had the chicken fillet, which was dry, the cabbage was under cooked, and the sauce looked like congealed fat from a Spaghetti bolognase after cooking the mince. My last experience was no better. I'll not be back anytime soon.

Inviting environment and decent food. However over the years it slowly slipping. Today was inexperienced service. No second drinks offer having got first at bar, no desserts offer having to call for bill, waiting to pay bill and so forth. It's going to be tough this year service and hospitality needs to be top notch.

Had our company christmas dinner there. It's a beautiful old pub, clean with lots of atrmosphere. The beer I had was kept well. The dinner was a let-down though. Baked Camembert for starter, 2 of out the 3 pieces was empty and just a hard crispy shell. The roast turkey dinner had potatoes and parsnips that were anemic and not cooked through, very small portions of veg (3 sprouts) and yorkshire pudding that was soggy with oil that run out when prodded. It was a shame as the turkey and pigs in blankets were beautiful. Puudding was ok, but I think the chocolate bombe was supposed to have a runny centre, but was solid. So great atmosphere, average food.

Disappointing meal at the Green Man last night (Sat 7th Dec). I have been numerous times before and never been disappointed, so chose here for a meal with friends who has never been, and it was awful. The restaurant was busy, and there was a large table in but this shouldn’t affect the service & standard of food. We arrived, ordered and waited 40 minutes for the food to arrive, when the food arrived it was lukewarm, and my fish & chips tasted horrible. NOT ONE single member of staff checked back to check the food was OK, neither did we see any member of staff in our area of the restaurant to complain. When the plates were finally cleared, we were not asked “how was your meal”, just if we wanted dessert. After dessert, we waited a long time again for anyone to come, and on the end I had to go and find some to ask for the bill. When they came for payment, again we were not asked how our meal had been… Poor food, and poor service. I will not be going back, and will ensure others don’t also.

I do love this place and the staff are generally quite helpful. I quite like the old furniture as well. It's different. Menu is not the cheapest, but there's a good selection and as I'm gluten free, I was quite surprised by the choice,which is why I am a repeat customer. The only thing I don't like (which I gave less stars for) is the fact they let dogs in. Apart from being extremely allergic to dogs. I also really don't like them, they scare me and owners don't seem to care about thier dog and the people they interact with. If I see a dog inside,I dont enter.
