Ordered the steak medium. It was cooked well. The chips were nice, mushrooms were missing and the peas were inedible. The server spent so long chatting to friends on the next table she forgot the mustard I asked for. Only giving it 4* as the steak was lovely.

Food is just average. The staff is not that friendly and they seem quite annoyed all the time. Used to be much better a few years ago. Now it's just a very average pub.

Food was lovely but we were served by the most miserable barmaid with a proper attitude problem. We scanned the barcode on menu to order off the app and when food was served we were told we weren't supposed to order off the app. There were no signs saying this and when I pointed to the menu to show her it she grabbed it off table almost took my partners eye out then rolled her eyes and stormed off. Won't be returning. 29/09/24 @ 3pm

Visited here with my husband and daughter for a Sunday roast a couple of weeks ago and it was brilliant. The service was really good, portion sizes spot on and the beef in particular was really good. They also had a nice beer garden and outside seating area which was nice for enjoying a bottle of wine after the meal. Will definitely return if staying in the area again in the future.

as a local, The Pear Tree used to be ok but has seriously gone downhill. The toilets are disgusting now (one had zero paper, the other didn't have a toilet seat, horrible/offensive graffiti all over the walls, water all over the floor.) Just feels like a dive now. For somewhere charging £6 a pint, you'd think there would be effort or reason to justify such prices.

Just popped in for lunch and chose the Ultimate Veggie Burger. One of the best I have had in a long while. It included super tasty cauliflower bites and cheese sauce. Gorgeous! And the fries were super crispy with a tasty salsa on the side. Accompanied by a delicious New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. A great lunch!

We selected the Thursday evening food & drink deal - Steak and a drink. The food choices were sirloin or rump steaks or gammon. I ordered one rump and one sirloin, and was told that there was only rump available. I changed the order. Then I ordered drinks. Of the draught drinks in the offer, there was NO lager available, only cider or real ale. I was told I could 'upgrade' to a different lager for £1. I don't find that acceptable and feel that if no lagers from the deal list were available, then an alternative should be offered at the same price. When our meal came it was reasonable value for money in terms of portion size and quality. However the experience of eating it was poor since apparently the pub has 'no steak knives'. We interacted with the same bar person / server throughout this experience, and honestly I felt she couldn't have cared less.

The combination of the rich, bold flavors of the coffee and the crisp, smooth taste of the the beer was truly satisfying. The atmosphere was inviting and the service was excellent, making it a memorable and enjoyable outing, The weather is nice . I would definitely recommend The Pear Tree to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable beverage experience.

Went to pear tree for a drink on a Saturday night and all the staff were rude and couldn’t care about any of their guests. Decided to give it another go for a Sunday roast and got there after booking well in advance, to find out there were no roasts left. When mentioned to staff that we were disappointed yet again they couldn’t care less and didn’t make us feel welcome.

Booked a table for Sunday roast only to be told on arrival that they aren't doing roasts for the whole month of January, which wasn't advertised anywhere online. Not the end of the world, however the menus had food stuck to them, there were dirty wet wipes on the table, no toilet roll at all in the gents, no dairy alternatives for coffee, and several items we ordered not available. Usually enjoy visiting this pub but it's become clear the place needs new management to run it better.

Really nice food (prawn salad and southern chicken followed by sticky toffee pudding) My son lives nearby and we will definitely be back xx

If you would like to feel undervalued, be served a glass of wine @£9.95 in a warm tumbler and visit dirty toilets without toilet roll, this is the place for you. Tbf- after a protracted conversation with the supervisor she did agree to refund the wine, which I happily returned. This was one of Brains Premium Outlets, which did charge premium prices, the service under Brains was excellent. You were welcomed at the door, dogs fussed and given treats and water and there were adequate staff on busy Friday & Saturday nights. Marstons are charging the premium prices however the service is well below par. We certainly won’t be visiting again anytime soon.

A group of us came here on a busy Friday evening. Waited a while at the bar, asked for a glass of wine and was told no wine glasses available at the moment and he offered half a pint glass!! For an overpriced £9 glass of wine I would appreciate a glass. Glass was brought to table and was warm as just came out of dishwasher. Not great if drinking a cold rose. Then the worst part. My hunters chicken.... very dry. A few luke warm chips, 2 tiny onion rings, a tiny side salad (lettuce) and the smallest amount of bbq sauce and cheese on the chicken it was basically a dry chicken breast as the sauce had just soaked into it. The chef should be embarrassed. So tight on portions!! I asked for some more bbq sauce expecting them to bring over a warm bowl from the kitchen but instead had a Heinz bbq bottle plonked down! Awful, overpriced experience. Will not be returning.

We had a really bad experience at The Pear Tree. A lot of the menu wasn't available (although we weren't told this when we arrived) so we ended up having our 3rd choice meals. When our food did eventually arrive, my veggie chilli was cold, it was served with pilau rice which is quite odd, and the portion of the chilli itself was tiny (maybe a tbsp). They also didn't bring the guacamole that was meant to come with it. My friend's medium rare steak was more medium to well done than medium rare. We didn't mention any of this to the waitress as the service up until that point hadn't been very good. Fine for a drink but won't be going back to eat.

My son and I went to this restaurant a week last Friday. We had been visiting there once a month for around 3 years. We had a dreadful experience. To start with my son ordered a burger, as he always does, he had to settle for a chicken burger as a substitute. I had ordered a chicken kiev. It was listed on the menu as coming with chips, a small salad and onion rings. When I pointed out that the onion rings were missing, he gave an excuse, which I didn't quite understand. I was neither offered very an alternative, an apology or a discount, which I thought was very unfair. We have since chosen another establishment for our monthly visits.

We visited Ikea in cardiff on Saturday 2nd November 2024 just for a coffee, it was busy but plenty of empty tables. However, the presentation of the table were absolutely disgusting, some were cleared of plate but the tables were filthy. Never seen it like that ever. We found a table but unfortunately the coffee was also disgusting cold and the machine only served half a cup. We left, not sure we would go to the restaurant again which is a shame
