Donna and team did an excellent job. The food was perfectly cooked. I would highly recommend this venue

Visited a friend in the area for the weekend, stopped in for a few drinks and a breakfast. The staff here are absolutely amazing, so friendly. Food was great and a perfect pint of Peroni or 3!! Highly recommend! I must mention the assistant manager Donna she is a real asset to your pub. Also Rachel, Chris, Laura and Harvey who I met during my visit a great team! I look forward to visiting again when I’m next in the area.

Took in my little boy got nuggets. Came out fast food was okay, the staff was extremely helpful.

Best gammon I have had in a while...

The staff is extremely polite, will come back again.

Food was phenomenal i was very impressed with their variety of cuisine. It was tremendous service Val was super helpful. Would highly recommend

Absolutely tremendous staff, brilliant atmosphere and the manager is the best thing to happen to the pub in years

Went in on Wednesday 18th food was amazing and came out very fast the man who severed us was very polite and very helpful 😁😁

Lovely pub with great daily deals.staff are really friendly and management are very professional. Will definitely be returning.

Came here for a meal with my family, food came out hot and tasted just as good as it looked and with the weekly deals it was a steal for a quality steak. We were looked after by a lovely lady named Jess and made sure everything we needed was sorted.

Food was phenomenal. Staff we very friendly and a very lovely and reasonably-sized establishment.

Spacious, clean and tidy. Efficient clear-up. Friendly but not intrusive staff. Plenty of seating, inside and out also guilty smokers' corner! Wide range of choice on menu. My husband chose steak which was juicy and thick. My son had chicken korma and he loved it. I had steak-and-ale pie which was so enormous that I could only manage about half of it (son finished it!). Rich gravy and good quality steak pieces. Good range of alcohol-free drinks. Would recommend and will go back whenever we are in the area

The tandem is a great pub to go for a really nice meal there is a big garden and you can even see the trains go past out the back garden I would book a table here as it gets really busy, The food is good just how you like it and if there is anything wrong the staff will be happy to fix the problem with no fuss at all.

Food was cold and they couldn't sit up in a empty garden due to safety issues. Kids couldn't go in the grass green due to enormous amounts of glass scattered everywhere. Staff all looked miserable and poorly presented

Such a great service. Good prices. Excellent location.

Had a great meal last night with my family! Will be returning soon!

Very friendly welcome wen i approached the bar to order I was served by the manager I believe...lovely guy The food didn't take long again very friendly young lady brought food out (siobhan) Deffo be returning

So ordering food which was a burger then rest table ordered mix ups ten mins later including this was two children’s meals , then two more bigger tabl s came in , 25 mins later no food but the tables after we ordered had nearly ate there food , still waiting then one meal came out we waited ten mins later kids meal came , then still no other food finally when food came out I had a little moan and nothing , no check back no plate clearing , I’m really not happy with what we experienced, won’t be going bk

We stopped going to The Tandem a year or so ago because we go out for a meal as an impulse and it was almost too busy to accommodate walk ins and if you tried to book there would not be a free table for a few hours. So we thought for once we would plan ahead and book. The 1st red flag was the car park was empty... on a Saturday evening. Lots of signs with "Booking Only" everywhere, that is inviting. I walked into the gents toilets, and all the urinals were out of order. The 2 remaining toilets stood in puddles of urine. Lovely. We got a table. This once buzzing restaurant had 3 tables of people. The rest were empty. We all decided what food we wanted from the menu, went to the bar to order. Slush Puppy Machine was out of order, so grumpy kids, the soft drink machine was out of order, grumpier kids, and grumpy adults. Ordered the food after making some changes because they did not have everything available on the menu. When the food did turn up, it was OK. However, some of the portions were a bit stingy.

My food was fine (gammon and chips) which is why I’ve left a one star, otherwise I wouldn’t have even put that. My partner ordered a burger and chips, upgraded to salt & pepper chips but what came was OVERLY powdered seasoning which was inedible without a ton of mayo. The pina colada was a glass of milk with a shot of rum. Service- when we came in there was one young girl behind the bar, another young girl just sat at a table uninterested. No one came over to see if our food was okay or if we wanted anything else, and on our way out of the pub there was NOONE to be seen. Really poor for a Saturday night. Won’t be returning.

The place needs work. However ill be sure to be coming back for the outstanding customer service of the land lady. And it was a great time.

Just been for a lovely meal in the tandem and was greeted by this very friendly woman named Donna. What a friendly professional treacle she was. Was well worth the visit. Big up Donna

Lovely pub! Food is always hot and tasty arrives promptly.will defo be visiting again 10/10

Had my sons christening here beginning of May wonderful spread of food lovely polite staff on the bar chris especially Decorations done by the assistant manager absolutely fantastic job All round enjoyable day Recommend for buffet events

Absolutely love this little village pub! Staff always welcoming. Food always arrives quickly and can’t complain at the price. Will defo recommend.

Southern fried chicken burger with chips,, tasted like it had been cooked in dirty oil very disappointed

Great service from the moment we approached the bar regarding our booking to leaving, good food well presented plus tasty, and great prices. What more can I say other than I thoroughly recommend this restaurant!

Delicious food, lovely staff Just had the new chicken sandwich! Big enough to share

Put on a tiny table next to a family with screaming kids went to ask for different table and got ignored by chatting staff RUBBISH

Staff always welcome with a smile, Lovely service and excellent food. 10/10. The two lovely ladies Donna and Katie was really lovely and polite. Cant wait to come back

Food is not the best, but not the worst. Staff are lovley and the atmosphere is lovley.

Nice food, could of been hotter, friendly staff. Really nice atmosphere.

Best pub ever lovely people good service please come over !

Where do I begin with the tandem? Best service ever, lovely people and the food is 10/10. If you are looking for a place to chill with your friends or a romantic meal this is the place.

Had a quiet lunch with ex colleague on a quiet Monday. Service was swift and food was fine.

Absolutely beautiful meal! Haven't been there in about 15 years. Was met by barmaid/server Katie, she was really friendly. The crispy chicken strips were succulent, the steak was cooked to perfection and everything was very reasonably priced. Will definitely go again 😀

Service was amazing! The staff are so friendly and polite and the food is incredible! I’ll be back soon!

Lovely place but under staffed food took a while to come out but good value

Had a wonderful time, food was great and service was excellent will return

Service nice and friendly ,food was good value for money will definately be going again

Great value food, warm welcome by staff. Good pub food food choices, veggie options, good value. Helpful and friendly staff

Everything was lush be going there again I recommend it

Good place for a decent meal that won't break your budget. Simple decent food, family friendly, good vibes.

We often come to Tandem for lunch or dinner. We often get greeted by extremely lovely staff who are extremely helpful and patient. We been coming her for a fair few month more regularly due too how lovely Val, Donna, Katie often are. We built good friendships with the staff due to their friendly approach and they are extremely supportive and helpful with our daughter who has extra needs🥰 Hand down 5 star reviews every time we come in!! Never fail to disappoint. Alway recommend ‘the Tandem’ to our friends or family and always come here on special occasions. Extra plus : food is always yummy even with out awkward changes too the food.

Manger couldn’t be more helpful he went out of his way to help me and my family

Fabulous sizzling salmon!! Great food, and service.

Was a very lovely meal. All cooked really well. Only downside was the plate was too small for the food a mixed grill ending up flicking food off when cutting . But staff were friendly and helpful and was clean and tidy . Would definitely go back.

It's a lovely place for a catch up with friends and family Staff are lovely Food is good cheap drinks Will be back soon I'm sure

We really enjoy coming to this restaurant and the food has always been great as is the atmosphere. Today I have phoned to book a table to be on the safe side for a table for 12 as my mum is going home to Norway to be told that they couldn’t seat us due to having another big party in, I asked if we could sit on 2 tables as a 6 and a 6 but again I was refused to this too. They clearly don’t want our business which we are really disappointed in…….moral of this story is if you want a table for a large group book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.

the staff are amazing. and very friendly the service is brilliant thank u donna and katie and the rest staff

Been a few times for lunch, meals never disappoint, with good sized portions always served hot and always on warm to hot plates. Menu selection is large and rarely are items unavailable unless a mechanical problem causes issues. Meals are delicious with the steak & ale pie exceptional value. Well worth a visit at anytime.

Great bar and waiting staff friendly manger food was quick and hot very clean especially the toilet area one of cleanest IV been in and no unpleasant smells generally very happy with the experience at the tandem

Was very happy to visit, lovely staff so friendly and food was amazing

Went to the tandem for some lunch with the family They have a dog friendly section in the bar area and in the garden Very kid friendly restaurant area with polite staff Daniels service was fantastic and the food was cooked great all came out pipping hot Will be back

The pub hosts the local football team every week and are very hospitable providing food for the teams after games. They also help in arranging and hosting club functions. A very helpful sponsor of the club and ensure it’s continued success

Lovely food and staff as always 😋

Food was bad quality and over done and it was like it was old or out of date

It does what it says on the tin. It feeds you, and at a good price. It ain't ever gonna be cordon blue but its stomach filling. The New Yorker was tasty but could've done with more of the sauce it came in.

Chicken Newyorker , chicken, bacon , Barbaque sauce chips, peas, onion rings . When asked if it was alright I said it's OK, unfortunately as I got through the meal the chicken was tough & not the best .

Amazing Staff And team excellent service

I had Never been here before so wasn’t sure what to expect. By far one of the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Service from Mark was quality, couldn’t have asked for anyone better to serve us! He is an absolute gem! Many thanks to Mark!

Come to this Pub quite a lot to eat, great food & friendly staff, highly recommend the Jerk chicken & Ribs. Never had any problems here, keep up the good work 👏

I came here with my family for dinner, kitchen manager mark makes Great food great service, really enjoying our dinner here

great food. Thank you to Eleni in particular for the attentive and welcoming service.

Me and my friend ate at the tandem today for lunch and even though they were busy and quite clearly understaffed you couldn’t tell as the 2 ladies behind the bar were polite, kind and smiley throughout. Food was good. Food and drinks well priced. Will be returning!

Lovely food lovely service from val and Donna great food from Mark and his team Will be back again as couldn't fault anything

All good except one of the local customers that does not know what a seat is.

This is a great pub with outstanding food and the service was impeccable, especially a young lady called Eleni who was very helpful and very friendly. I would highly recommend this place!

Ideal. .great staff..and good food at affordable prices ..

It was exquisite experience at the pub and at the sports bar which was good to watch whilst eating a good meal, I was served eleni who was very kind at getting sauces ext for me, she was amazing at the service throughout my time there at the pub.

From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and welcoming. The service was quick and good delicious. Staff very attentive at all times and very smiley ☺️ Thank you

Called in to watch the football. Great atmosphere and good service.

The tandem definitely has got a lot better! Went for dinner with some friends, food was amazing compliments to the chef! Staff are very friendly and helpful, even though they were busy they were still doing a very good job! Very tidy and clean pub. New management has definitely turned the place around! Will be coming here more often!

Well, TheTandem has gone downhill. We arrived there on Saturday evening the stench that greeted us when going in the front door was awful. On further investigation we realised that is was coming from the toilets which are just inside the entrance. Staff were pleasant enough but my brother did say that his IPA tasted off. The food was very poor, was supposed to be chicken but distinctly tasted of fish (lunchtime fat I guess).Sorry I wont be recommending or returning again until I hear that there have been improvements .

Went for a roast dinner yesterday with some family. Food was really lovely and didn't have to wait too long. Compliments to the chef!

Great food, lovely friendly staff keeps us coming back

Food very good, come mix grill, staff It's really delicious. Yes, come again

Great food and service. We both had Classic Chicken New Yorker and really enjoyed it. Plenty of sauces on hand too. Highly recommend

Great food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere

Excellent food. Excellent Staff. Lovely Old Pub.

Pretty quiet when we got there which was great, ordering at the bar was a bit slow but food arrived pretty quickly and was good. We all had different types of burgers, all were satisfied with their meals, plenty of chips!

Had the Christmas dinner and absolutely delicious and plenty on the plate.

Good food friendly staff nice atmosphere will be coming back

Lovely little pub.staff are so friendly! Always willing to have a natter. Food was really nice and great value for money! Will definitely be back.

Came here with my family It was quite busy but the staff were lovely and the food came out in no time. I had a Xmas special which was really nice and the doughnut pudding omg amazing Will be back soon

Very enjoyable two meals and puddings. Only negative was no gravy with meal so had to ask.

The steak is carbonized; it's inedible.

There were 6 of us for lunch we all ordered 3 courses. The pub was very sparcely decorated for Christmas basically like they couldn't be bothered. 2 of us had Christmas menu. I had peppered mushrooms on brioche which was lovely, followed by Christmas dinner, roast turkey etc, vegetables tasted terrible like soap powder, turkey not much better and pig in blanket hard. I had christmas pudding bakewell for pudding that was good My husband had pigs in blankets to start, good portion about 8. Then steak with shrimps, tough as old boots, cheesecake for pudding good. The others had tortillas which were homemade and looked amazing as were the burgers. Shame as this was a very hit and miss meal, price was good but quality not always so

On a visit from Canada. First time at the Tandem. Excellent food, very friendly staff and a very reasonable price. Well worth a visit!
