Today (18th) was a very lack luster affair, the service was ok but an occasional smile wouldn't have gone amiss . The food was not up to the usual standard,smaller portions and not as tasty, the kids meal was inedible which was a simple cheeseburger chips and beans. Leo who Is 18 months old and loves his food left 90% , his burger was almost completely black on one side , the beans had to be asked for and came separately later in the meal. Yes it was a warm day but not that warm that it would change the quality of the food or service.

We booked in the ‘Shed’ for Father’s Day, and a new baby celebration. All was well. Shame we had to order all food at the bar, but anyway still ok. It was pretty busy with not a lot of staff, and unfortunately that showed with the food. Dishes came out pretty spread time wise. The kids meals came last and incomplete m. One went back as it was burnt (shouldn’t really have come out like that) and other elements came out a good 10 minutes apart. There were apologies and replacements but nothing else. Really should have refunded some, but it was decided not to make a fuss. We like this place, but I was disappointed and had to make apologies to some of our party.

Last minute decision to go here and I really wish we hadn’t…. I had Roast beef Sunday dinner, looked like a frozen Yorkshire, two dry overcooked potatoes, dry mash, 3 small soggy sprouts you could wring them out, 1 tiny piece of broccoli and 1 tiny piece of cauliflower, plus two very skinny small carrot batons, the veg was terrible .. the meat wasn’t any better… for £14.50 I expected better…. We won’t return

How deceptive- A normal looking pub from the outside, but oh my gosh Inside is a different story tastefully decorated light and airy, With the best outdoor area a full kitchen outside too, You can eat indoors or outdoors, nothing was a problem for all the staff our waitress was Tia, What a lovely helpful member of staff!! She Made all my party feel At ease .. food was amazing Probably a little bit pricy but nothing too bad, I honestly couldn’t fault the place ..

Excellent little gem, surprised it wasn't busier for a Saturday night considering the quality of the food. Staff were attentive at first and food was served quickly. Only gripe I had was that once you had your mains no staff came around to check if you needed drinks or the bill. We had to go and grab a member of staff to ask for the bill and then go to the bar to pay. Only a minor quibble though as food was excellent and very reasonably priced.

A all round great place to eat. We had pre-booked. sat in the conservatory which was view and had a nice be nice, we were sat outside. The staff were attentive. Food was delicious. The portion size was just right for the flavour of the presentation was lovely, even though it was a Thursday and only the 4.30 the place started to get busier. which was a good sign. It was our first visit to heroes pub, definitely won’t be the last. Highly recommend great vegetarian options too.

I've not been here in ages. Sounds daft as I live fairly close. The food was brilliant, and so was the service. Both me and my wife enjoyed the food. We got decent sized portions too. We sat both inside and outside, and it was all clean. Nice atmosphere. The only thing, as a vegetarian, is that the menu was a bit limited, but that's a bit of a picky point. I'll definitely go again

We held a wake here for our dad. Don’t hesitate to book if you should unfortunately be in this position to need to hold one!! Fantastic food and plenty of hot meats, new potatoes, quiche, salad, deserts, crackers and cheese that could not be faulted at all and the staff were brilliant. I’ll end with guest reviews of “the best food I’ve ever had at a wake”. Well done heroes, you definitely were!!

Arrived here at 12.15pm was allocated a table and given menus. Then nobody came near us, the table next to us were served though and received and had eaten their food, still no service. I went to the bar to ask to order. After taking our order it was another 40 minutes before I approached the bar again to be told it will be another 10 minutes, by now another table had ordered and been served. On complaining I was told they had 3 big tables in, the first table only had starters and the next table had sandwiches with chips with us ordering gammon it takes 10-15 to cook??????? We left at 2.30, so 2 1/4 hours for a 1 course lunch. The food was enjoyable as always but if your on a hurry I'd bypass this place

Called in this afternoon (Sunday) for late lunch. We had booked & the place was packed which is a good sign… But we are a mature couple who just wanted a nice chat & a meal. However we were shown to a table for two & was surrounded by big families. That wouldn’t bother us normally at all except for the unacceptable noise. Kids screaming, babies crying, parents letting them run about. No control at all. Our drinks were almost knocked over by children ., we just managed to save them. If we do go again we would not sit near the front door , much quieter tables when you walk past the bar. I think the staff could have given us a table round the corner where it was away from the noise. The roast dinner was ok, generous portion, but frozen Yorkshire & gravy granules that hadn’t dissolved therefore lumps of it in the gravy . We didn’t complain just paid up & left.

We have visited here quite a few times recently for food and drink, mainly using the outdoor area. The food has always been nice and served quickly, there always seems to be plenty of staff and it does get busy and the outdoor area well used. However, the place is looking grimy - we have never seen or had tables wiped down, the floor is in need of a good sweep down and jet wash, the covered area had stuff all over the floor. When you walk from outside to indoors, the kitchen is open to full view, which can't be helped, but the doors are all really dirty and clearly haven't been cleaned down. When going through to bar and toilets , again walls and doors are dirty. Ladies toilets need airfreshners and no there were no paper hand towels. These are all basic hygiene and cleanliness issues that need addressing and should be maintained. This isn't a good look for what otherwise is a good place to eat and drink.

A nice Sunday family meal.i ofnus came here with a very large menu and some special, it is reasonable priced and has a large outdoor area too which also serves pizzas . I had the Sunday roast which you had a choice of meats for around £11.50. I am quite sure everybody enjoyed their food and the service was quite quick and seemed a popular place I did think the desserts were on the expensive side but again there were a few choices

I was invited along to this restaurant by my friends family, which was lovely. Previously I had never visited. There is a car park for patrons and inside the decor is very tasteful and staff really welcoming. The menu has a good variety although only a token couple of vegetarian dishes and no trace of vegan. However I went for the £9.95 two course deal (which is excellent value) and the vegetarian lasagne and mushrooms with ciabatta was lovely. Great friendly service all night and a lovely atmosphere. If you live nearby, give it a try.

I had fish and chips, the others had steak pie - delicious! Including a round of drinks and coffees the bill was only £50 - outstanding value. The two staff serving in the restaurant worked really hard and were very pleasant, especially as they also had two large parties to cater for. We will definitely be returning.

My partner had this pub recommended to us by a friend and as it was quite local we decided we would visit with friends.I’d heard rumours about this Family Friendly ‘British’ pub serving Halal meat so when the waitress came I asked the question “is the meat in this pub Halal”, she said she’d never heard of it being that but would go to the kitchen and ask the question. She came back and said “the chicken definitely is but the packs from the other meat have been thrown away, so can’t confirm or deny it” enough said for me. Most of the food is off the menu. Nowhere is it stated that the meat is Halal which I find rather vile, I would have thought a British pub would be catering for British people! Certainly will not be recommending or visiting this place again, unless they get up to standard and start selling Free Range meats and eggs like a lot of pubs nowadays!!

Both us and the waitress. Went in for their set menu after a long drive from holidaying in Wales. Starving hungry, we thought we could eat anything. Turns out we were wrong. This isn't a spiteful review, it's an honest one. We voiced our concerns after every stage of the meal and was met with a blank face. We both work in customer service so even if you're not feeling it, tell your expression otherwise. It made us sad and angry in a mixed bag. I had Prawn cocktail, which was bareable. My other half had the black pudding. Speechless. I had the burger, it was very very very pink which I said I was unhappy with. The waitress took it back to sort. It came back burnt on one side with the same cheese sat in exactly the same condition. The burnt smell was quite something. My other half had the pie. Speechless once again. "How can you ruin a pie?". By, like another reviewer stated, stewed steak over done. With a pastry lid flakier than a politician. We paid for one meal and two drinks and that was way generous. Our biggest gripe was that when we were sat with our empty plates, we were asked "finished?", So we aired our problems, the reply? "So have you finished".... Staggering and disappointing

Booked a table for 1.30 for lunch, drinks order came quite quickly however It took over an hour for 1 course with no second drinks offered when served and when our table was cleared the waitress just walked off and didn’t offer dessert or coffees. We waited 20 minutes for someone to look in our direction. We did want a dessert but ended up just asking for the bill due to slow service. There seemed to be no management at all and just 3 Young girls who kept gathering near the coffee machine. To add insult to injury not one of them bothered to say bye as we left. My sister and nanna had the beef and both commented on how tough it was. Also the toilets were disgusting they smelt so bad my sister had to open the window and they were very dirty. Won’t be rushing back. Very poor service and a very disappointing visit

The first visit was with two friends for drinks and food on a pleasant Tuesday afternoon. Initially we sat outside and then later went into the conservatory to eat. The pub was quiet, but maybe this was due to our visit being immediately after a hot and sunny bank holiday weekend. The gardens were peaceful, attractive and well maintained. Bar service was good and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The food was of good quality and absolutely great value for the price. We had the two course special for £9.45. Fish and chips, steak pie and lasagna. All faultless and very much enjoyed. Good sized portions too. A decent choice of starters and desserts (we opted for deserts).

Ate at this restaurant with a party of friends - I had pre-booked my meal and the choice I made was for the 2 course option of meatballs for starter and Cajun chicken for my main. Very disappointed with both courses - the presentation was very poor and portions very small. The 3 meatballs came on a mini pitta with a little bit of sauce and the small portion of overcooked Cajun chicken came with dry chips and garden peas. My friend ordered the prawn cocktail which was served in a plain white dish, very poorly presented with no brown bread. On a positive note the service was good and iced water was served without being requested - the surroundings are very pleasant - pity about the poor food!

Decent ale and rag puddings, a very nice Sunday lunch with the family. I would definitely return again.

I had heard good things about this place so thought we, myself, my wife and adult daughter, would give it a try for lunch today. I don't usually like to leave bad reviews and generally look for the positives because I realise the impact of negative or bad reviews on business. However I was really, really disappointed with today's experience. This review relates solely to the meal that I personally had. Starting with the black pudding with onion and bacon dish, at £4.50 per serving I did not expect two slices of pudding cut that finely, it must have been performed with a razor blade. It looked to me as if it was the end of the pudding roll and rather than open another one, they decided to make do and dissect the end remnant into two and dress it up a bit. For mains I had ordered, the King Prawn Tikka Massala dish and its accompaniments

If you are stuck for time then don't go here for lunch, as there are never enough staff to cover busy days. Not only that, but the staff are very nonchalant in their approach to customers, especially if there is a problem, they choose to ignore it instead of helping or rectyfing matters.

We were looking around for an early dinner at the last minute and came across Heroes. Lovely staff and very nice food with a good menu. Also a variety of places to sit inside and out whether you’d like a quiet spot or outside etc. We had toddler and baby so appreciated the good kids menu and abundant high chairs. Convenient car parking. I had a lovely battered cod and chips with a nice bitter. Cant go too far wrong here!

Mid-week tea with a friend. We both ordered from the set menu and only intended on 2 courses but ended up getting 3 for £12. I had prawn cocktail, burger and creme brulee which was all fabulous. We will definately be back!!

family of 3, we ordered off the two course set menu, went about midday today. Really enjoyed the meal, I had the prawn cocktail and burger. My mum and dad really enjoyed their meals. All in all spent just over £30, which I think is brilliant for a really filling meal. Nice service and good portions and good food = 3 happy people.

Visited with family, about 12 of us, seated in the conservatory with another large family group. Couldn’t hear each other due to the noise in the room. The service was shocking - no-one came to take drinks orders the whole time we were there. The food was measly portions and on the whole was dried up and disappointing.

We have been coming regularly to dine here about 2 years now and we usually receive good service and great food. However on our recent visit we found the service was shocking from start to finish. Firstly the waitress taken our food order and not a drink order I had to go to the bar and order them. Secondly our cheesy garlic bread starter was awful, nothing at all like the usual dish in fact this was nothing more that a very slightly toasted plain ciabatta with a tiny bit of cheese on. Fortunately for us our main was to a much better standard. However we then sat with all four our our plates on the table for at least 15 minutes during this time each of the 3 waitresses all looked over and seen but did nothing about it we actually had to go to the bar and ask them to move them. As well as that we then called over to the bar for more drinks as we was also sat with empty glasses. Finally the desserts, unfortunately they only had one brownie left so we got one brownie and one fudge cake and to top it all off there was a hair in the fudge cake, I took this back over to the bar as not at any point during our starter, main or dessert did any of the waitresses ask was everything ok with our food, they then didn't even bother to bring a replacement cake over. Over all I'm very disappointed and shocked with the service we received the waitresses was not very welcoming and pleasant especially to say we was one of three of the only tables in the place.

You can't beat the fixed price menu choices, such good value for money but excellent food too. The staff are very attentive and the surroundings are very pleasant

The bar staff are friendly enough but need more training definitely on how to change barrels etc. It took 15 minutes to be served due to barrels running out and staff not knowing what to do. Nice outside seating area though!

My husband and I visited here today we have been before but not for a while. The place has been done up since our last visit to an excellent standard that is well worth a visit. Each room was busy but the staff were very good a friendly slim girl with glasses looked after us from start to finish. The food was amazing we both had a vegetable soup that was lovely and I had the homemade steak pie with chips and peas. The price was £7.45 for two courses which is unbelievable for what you get. We will be back soon.

Really enjoyed our dining experience from start to finish. Good menu selections, well cooked and nicely presented. Good atmosphere and comfortable seating arrangements. Outstanding for me was the friendliness and efficiency of the young front of house staff team.. .. for a busy Saturday night service they were exceptionally hard working and personable with it. Great teamwork and willingness to serve really contributed to our experience , individually and working as part of the team each member of staff and that would include kitchen staff worked so well they deserve recognition. Would not hesitate to return with confidence that we would enjoy the food and atmosphere. Well done Hero's and thank you.

My husband and myself went for a birthday drink today, deliberately after 2pm in order to avoid the lunchtime dining rush. On arrival we were told that, if we weren't dining, we would have to sit at the 'high tables' in the middle of the room even though there were plenty of other tables available. I am 5'2" and have always struggled to get onto those ridiculously high stools so we decided to leave and go elsewhere, where we were welcomed and allowed to sit where we wished. Incidentally, it is my husband's 75th birthday and we are both pensioners. It was embarrassing and a shocking way to treat customers.

There really is very little to fault. It was a very well presented location, inside and out. It was reassuringly busy, but no wait required to get a table for a walk-in. Staff were friendly and presentable. Carvery price was reasonable and there was a wide selection to choose from, both meat and veg. Food was well cooked and hot. The location right next to the tram line was a pleasant surprise for the enthusiast, but no disruptive or noisy. Even the fairly busy road didn't impact the ambiance. The place well deserves 5 stars, but if I had to find something to comment on... Consistency of server would have probably made it easier on the staff. Two different servers tried to take our drinks order and I think we had three different servers total. Didn't spoil the experience at all and probably an easy fix. 😊 Getting out of the car park took a moment too - traffic lights right next tot the exit and traffic feeding from the left mean that, at busy times, you are relying on goodwill of other road users. Less of an easy fix, but I'd still happily eat here again. Thank you, Sheldon Arms! 🍽

Excellent Sunday roast, in fact one of the best I’ve had - ignore previous reviews as there’s a new landlord and he’s got the pub back to its best. Highly recommend
