We absolutely love the pizzas, especially when they’re on offer every Wednesday! My partner Ben always orders the same four cheese with add ons (chorizo, bacon, chorizo) and it is sensational! The chef must know us by now as he even put his name on the box recently even though it was me that ordered for him!!! 🤣 LOVE IT. Thank you for such a fabulous service every time

Just ordered a Deliveroo from this establishment. The chicken genuinely looks and smells off. Absolutely vile. Yet they claim 'locally sourced'. Will not be ordering from here again and I shall be reclaiming my money through Deliveroo. Also, if someone orders cheesy fries, at least put some bloody cheese on them!

Wir haben eine Woche um die Ecke Urlaub gemacht und sind dort 2x essen gewesen. Man war sehr freundlich, dass essen gut und wirklich sehr reichlich (!) vor allem die „Sonntagsbraten“ Gerichte, die es nur am Wochenende gibt (Achtung, dann sind von der „Normalen“ Karte nicht alle Gerichte zu haben), aber auch die Hamburger und die Desserts waren Klasse! Hinweis: wenn es sehr voll ist, ist es laut dort, wenn man sich beim Essen unterhalten möchte wird das schwierig… Und es war schon ungewöhnlich, dass man bei der Reservierung vorab 10 Pfund bezahlen musste, hätte mich beinahe abgeschreckt, wurden aber automatisch von der Rechnung abgezogen! Wir würden immer wieder hin gehen!

Went here for dinner and it was ok. The service was pretty slow - we had to ask for someone to take our food order and again when we wanted another round of drinks. When the food came it was ok. We had pizzas and as you can see from the photos, the veg looked thrown on after and no time had been given for cheese to melt over it, so when you picked up a slice all the veg fell off the pizza.

Tonight we popped into Jenkins & Sons. SHOCKINGLY overpriced £18 for a squid sharing platter that consisted of not too many squid pieces to share on a bunch of salad leaves...We also ordered the mushrooms on toast for £8 and we got 2 TINY pieces of toast (like diagonally sliced batton pieces) with a topping...SHOCKINGLY expensive !!. Not to mention that we ordered one drink, consisting of a dash of Lime cordial with a mix of tap water, and that cost us £2.75....absolute DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. So after a dissapointingly costly meal, which cost £30. We went home to have dinner !!!...We won't be going back. We will keep going to the Grasshopper...now there's value for money...great Decor and wonderfully friendly pub.

Although I've been to Jenkins and Sons before this was my first Sunday lunch - why have I waited so long? Loads of melt in the mouth beef, yorkshires, roast potatoes, peas, carrots, broccoli, parsnips, gravy and parsnip shavings. I didn't have space for a pudding. Amazing food and great value for money.

A mediocre end to an amazing day. Good graphic design on the menu and a friendly white dog are unfortunately where the positives end. The food is overpriced and tasted extremely bland. Textures were wrong on every dish that our table ordered. Some very lacklustre flavour combinations like curry with fish and chips.did not help. Food genuinely tasted microwaved. Try the Cliff restaurant 5 mins away by car. See photo to absorb dissapointment.

A polite 2 stars: It was clean and the staff acted friendly. I have visited a number of places, and I have enjoyed meals in over 58 countries. Occasionally, I am taking my family out on a Sunday, and we wish to thoroughly enjoy our time - whatever the cost. Coming to this restaurant: We got greeted by a young waiter, who asked us to leave within 2 hours, due to a 'high volume' of guests. Well, we would not have stayed longer with a 15-month-old child. At the table, we then selected our food only to find out that certain sections of the menu - about 1/3 of it - could not be ordered. We re-selected, and - to our surprise - 2 of 3 simple dishes could not be ordered again. It is at this point when we typically leave. However, my wife was in a good mood, and we shrugged it off. The food: This is probably going to sting, but in my dear friend Gordon's words: 'bland', 'raw' and 'unseasoned' - not even a grain of salt on it. My child's reaction to the chips was a deserved toss onto the floor. Asked for ketch-up to brighten the mood, and even that was not available. One would think this to be a standard in a place like that ... On the up-side: the meat was fresh, although I do not understand who would 'bake' chicken without skin, and serve it dry and - as mentioned above - unseasoned. Verdict: Avoid! It is not worth the premium that is charged here.

Excellent meal. Once in and seated, it really began to fill up so we were grateful for being squeezed in on the phone 15 mins before. Very good, authentic pizzas (2 for 1 Wednesday was a bonus) and friendly 'on it' table service without being in your face. Will definitely go again. Perfect!

I had a great time here. Covid rules were still in place at the time of my visit, but me and 5 mates had food and drinks here and it was refreshing and satisfying. The staff were fun and friendly with swift attentive service. The food was quality and their authentic house made and baked pizzas were delicious. They also have alternative diets catered for on the menu if you are so inclined. They also had a range of alternative ales, ciders and cocktails to suit most fussy or adventurous drinkers. Price was a pleasantly affordable surprise at the end of an evening I would have happily paid more for.

Me and my boyfriend regularly visit Jenkins and sons for food or drinks. The service can never be faulted and the food is always delicious. Have been a few times recently and dinned outside due to restrictions we have found it great. You get the last bit of evening sun and there are heaters to keep you warm when then sun goes down. There is a brilliant altompshere due to the fact everyone from all the restaurants along penhil strip are sat outside too. It's a fantastic local business!

Brand new to the area, went looking for a decent fish and chip shop. I went in, explained that I always judge a place on their chips. I love a light crisp to the outside and soft and fluffy in the middle. To their credit, they let me try one which was nice of them. But the lady serving told me that all chip shop chips are soggy and if they are crispy then they are French fries. I explained that I really liked Harry Ramsdens chips which are fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside but I was told this wasn't possible? I took a bite and the tips were nice and crisp but the inside was soggy, dense and oily/greasy. I was told that their chips are not oily because they drain them. (Basically told that I was lying about what I was tasting). Then she said no chips shop chips are crisp and fluffy. I replied, well you say that but there's a chip shop... and before I could finish my sentence, she said sarcastically "well perhaps you should go there then hey." I then finished my sentence and said in LONDON, where I'm originally from. I said that his secret was ground nut oil. To which she replied " we can't use that because a lot of customers have nut allergies." Which is fair enough. But I couldn't get past the "perhaps you should go there then hey," comment. Based on the service alone, I'll never be back there again. Shame because its now my local. The chip wasn't terrible, but the service was. I didn't expect my honest feedback to be met with sarcasm and patronising defensiveness. My complaint is about the sarcastic remarks, yet their response is more sarcasm. Yeah, I'll definitely go elsewhere.

Utterly shocked that chips can take 30 minutes whilst I sat waiting as about 10 orders were collected for delivery. No salt and vinegar offered which made for a very bland meal, tiny pea fritters and also the vegetarian options are a complete joke. This is the second time I've been disappointed by this place. Won't visit again.
