The Bull Inn Limpsfield in Tandridge

My husband and I had a wonderful lunch at the Bull yesterday. We both chose the pie special which was a steak and ale pie - it was absolutely amazing. Service was excellent too and we will definitely be back again very soon.

The atmosphere at this pub is very uncomfortable. When I first walked in I felt like a stranger with two heads. One of my friends made a complaint and she was then talked about under the barmaids breath and subsequently by a table of women next to us as we left. The toilet light didn't work, there was no toilet roll and I was afraid to sit on the toilet seat it as it was so dirty. A shame because this is actually my closest pub but I won't be returning as I have never been made to feel that uncomfortable before.

Myself and my husband are regulars at this pub as It has such a lovely community feel! The staff are absolutely brilliant, always so friendly, welcoming and can’t do enough for you! We find ourselves returning again and again, thanks The Bull Team, see you again very soon! X

We booked the Grain Store for a pre-wedding party with our son's groomsmen and their partners. It was an excellent choice for this type of event. The staff were very helpful and welcoming and our food arrived promptly (we did pre-order as we were a large party). The room was charming - rustic, and decorated with fairy lights which got us all in the right mood for the weekend's celebrations. We had tried to book another local restaurant, but they did not return our emails/phone calls or seem interested in our business, so the staff at the Bull were a refreshing change.

As regulars to this great place we always try the new menu. This time it’s the Steak Frites - 10oz rib eye cooked to perfection medium rare with a peppered crust with a freshly made peppercorn sauce (with a shot of quality brandy from the bar!) and at a very reasonable price. Great service and as always with the warmest of welcomes from Claire and Kallum - who always genuinely wants to know that we’re enjoying the food.

We had bread and olives to start and then had the catch of the day (Hake) and the burger. All the food was lovely. Nice decor inside and friendly staff. Would recommend

A glorious summers evening to visit for an impromptu supper. Fabulous Harvey’s ale, service and food. The Chicken Caesars salad and bbq ribs were the highlight. Very Dog friendly. Do take the opportunity to visit.

Lovely evening with friends. Staff amazing and food amazing. All the sharing plates and chips were so good. All home made and fresh and such a lovely bunch

A fantastic new menu from the new head chef. With a focus on classic pub food done really well the dishes we had were excellent. The gammon, egg and chips was succulent with a great barbecue flavour and great chunky crispy chips. The seafood linguine had the mussels, squid and prawns all cooked to perfection with a light and spicy sauce. Couldn’t fault it!

Very friendly, relaxed country pub with super terrace. We didn’t try the food but had a wonderful afternoon in the sunshine.

I was really hopeful for a good Sunday roast. Having popped in for a drink with friends last year, thoughts I’d give it a try for my birthday. The decor is welcoming and staff are friendly. We had a nice spacious table for 5 (3 adults and 2 children). We visited at 3.30. Sadly the beef had just run out as we ordered. Disappointing but it happens. We ordered four starters, two pork roasts and 2 children’s meals. The starters were average. The tempura prawns were mediocre. Seemed more battered than tempura. The children’s garlic bead had an overpowering flavour that my 6 year old found too much. The mains were disappointing. The roast pork was bland and dry, potatoes were powdery and the red cabbage was overbearing. The Yorkshire pudding was overcooked and dry. It seemed like everything had been precooked and reheated. The burger again had an overpowering flavour. The chips that came with the children’s meals were heavily salted. The prices are not unreasonable for good quality food but I felt it was substandard and therefore overpriced. I really wanted to like everything about this pub especially given the fact it’s at the heart of the community and the story behind it. It was booked for a birthday lunch and sadly I was left feeling disappointed. I do hope this was a one off as it seems a lot of effort has been put into reviving and maintaining this community pub.

We often go to the Bull and have had many good evenings. Last night was exceptional - the welcome, the food and the service were all top notch. Well done to the entire team.

Quiz night went off like a rocket. Local to Limpsfield, great to see the inclusive and engaging evening go ahead with aplomb. The Bull epitomises the charm and quaintness of a local inclusive village.

First Class Sunday lunch. Beef was delicious and the vegetables were perfect. The service was exemplary and the atmosphere of the pub/restaurant was extremely friendly. And also dog friendly.

Excellent service as always and a great new menu. Had three of the new starters from the spring lunch menu - the Lamb Kofta, Smoked Salmon and the black pudding Scotch Egg. All delicious! Super flavour-full and just the right portion size. The new log fire is perfect for cold spring days as well!

An old friend and I had a charming lunch. The Harvey’s ale, Garlic mushrooms and fish and chips were perfect. My dog was thrilled with his sausage as was I with the price! Tip top doggie venue. I plan to bring my lunch club here later in the year

Super pub. A friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent food, so tasty - mushrooms starter especially good. I’d recommend booking for a wonderful meal .

What a Brilliant Pub With a Great Atmosphere - Set in the Stunning Village of Limpsfield- We Had The Sunday Lunch it was Delicious. Very Friendly Staff and Locals Who All Made Us Feel Very Welcome ( We Where Visiting the Area ) Thank You So Much !!

Four of us had dinner Thursday evening and had a marvellous time. Great service and the food was top notch (the chef seems to be settling in really well)! There was a quiz night on round the other side but we wouldn’t have known it. A lovely buzzy evening - so good we are going back for Sunday lunch next week!

Fantastic evening at The Bull watching the rugby over dinner and drinks - service was first class and the food was spot on. Large table of 10 all handled efficiently in the busy bar area, with the friendly serving staff ensuring we never had an empty glass! Thanks so much for looking after us and making the evening a huge success!

Went in lastThursday (1st) for drinks . Hadn’t been in for a while as the atmosphere last time we were there it was rather ‘drab’ What a change …… lively, friendly, had a buzz about it. Landlady Clare introduced herself and a Lady called Nina Extremely friendly and welcoming . We will definitely be back and bringing friends for food

This pub in the high street of a quiet village really is something of a gem. Enthusiastic bar and waiting staff serve a nice mix of pub classic dishes, nice wines and well-kept beers. The decor is fashionable and the atmosphere when we visited - admittedly on the opening weekend of the 6 Nations tournament was bustling and friendly. I had a black pudding scotch egg followed by a large plate of sausage & mash. We finished with a very tasty cheese platter. I would have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone in the area.

We had such a lovely afternoon here after a dog walk on nearby Limpsfield Chart. Two of us had sausage and mash, two had the halloumi burger, both very good. Apparently the beer was good too! Portions were generous so we shared a sticky toffee pudding. The staff were attentive and friendly and the surroundings welcoming and comfortable. Love that it’s community owned and run. They’re doing a great job !

I’m a local to the Bull Inn Limpsfield. And I have not had such a low standard of service from any pub ever in my life. Absolutely disgraceful, I would not recommend anyone to ever go unless you want to be shouted at at the bar. Or served one of the worst tasting pints of my life!!!! I won’t be recommending, and I won’t be returning…. Management sort it out !! Or maybe a change needed ?!?

I have dined at the pub quite a few times and every time the food is excellent! I normally go for the fish and chips, and it is always cooked and presented perfectly. I have only ever received exceptional service especially from Claire! I highly recommend visiting!

We booked the private room upstairs to celebrate my mum’s 60th and we couldn’t have been more impressed! The room, food and service were excellent. Would highly recommend!

this was repeat visit after a very pleasant and enjoyable experience, we were looking forward to a nice night out. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The food was not as described o the menu they claimed to triple cooked chips they were not the onion rings were cold and the steaks were not cooked right. when this was mentioned to the waitress she could not be more uninterested. when it came to paying the bill i asked the 20% gratuity to be taken off because of the bad service and explained the reason why they just giggled when i walked away. this was a total waste of a night out.

It's a lovely pub, we're local & visit often. Unfortunately, we had a very poor experience of Sunday lunch & very poor customer service. We ended up overcharged, mis-sold lunch items & waiting over an hour for half our party's lunch order. So disappointing & we were made to feel like it was our fault with no apology or compensation. Really hope service improves so people don't hesitate to visit, need to keep this asset to the community going!

Picked this pub at random as a half way point between myself and my partner. Mainly chosen from the menu as she is vegetarian and The Bull Inn had good choices. So happy that we picked this place. Such a friendly reception, with superb food. I had their trade mark burger. Obviously home made and lovely. My partner went for the mushroom burger which was equally superb. We weren't hurried at anytime and the afternoon flew by. The car park is tiny but they clearly tell us that on the Web site and there is plenty of street parking. I'm looking forward to revisiting. I reckon the Sunday roast will be a thing of beauty 😁😁

I guess the warning signs were there - only one table in the restaurant occupied at 7.30pm on a sunny Saturday in July! Having been shown to ours - nicely positioned by a window - the first and very obvious thing we noticed was the overpowering stench of sewage! We asked to be moved - and were - well there was nearly the whole of the place to chose from! (We had perused the menu on-line in advance so had a pretty good idea of what was on offer - or at least we thought we did!) The menu appeard to have been severely curtailed with no rump of lamb or even a steak to be seen. We questioned this & were promptly brought other menus which now included a choice of ribeye or sirloin steak but no lamb & different starters. Orders placed & wine ordered, we settled down to celebrate the birthday of one of our party of 3. The duck paté was adequate tho bought in rather than home made & served with bread rather than bread & butter. The baked camembert was excellent - very tasty with the addition of thyme but the prawn cocktail was a travesty! Plump, pink morsels had been reduced to dried and shrivelled maggots by being badly thawed in a microwave. They came piled on a single outside leaf of lettuce, in a pool of Marie Rose sauce, accompanied by bread & again not bread & butter, as per the menu! Why is 'sourdough' the only bread offered in so many restaurants? This version was a putty coloured coarse & dry crumb in a rock hard crust - very unappetising! We had ordered 1 ribeye, medium/rare; 1 sirloin, medium/rare & 1 sirloin very rare. What we got were 1 ribeye which was apparently acceptable but 2 sirloins which were both beyond well done - to the point that they were almost white internally & crumbly but with no external searing! Seriously! I have no idea how any chef could achieve this degree of ineptitude. The fries were some of the best we had ever tasted - really hot & crispy if a little over-salted. The wine too was very good. This whole experience was saved only by the energy, enthusiasm & willingness of the Lancastrian lass who served us. She's wasted here. Word has cleary got out - except to us, obviously - that this place is not worth a visit as when we left at about 9.30pm it was still almost empty. It is such a pity to see an establishment which once thrived, against the odds, reduced to this. We won't be back.

Came for drinks & a bite to eat. Ordered (& paid for) drinks first. Confusion as young server trying to finish one order whilst doing ours so another girl took over. A few minutes later we ordered food separately after settling in: 1 roast & 1 scampi/chips £62.70! Thought this was a bit pricey so asked why. Girl explained it included the drinks too. I told her we’d already paid for the drinks. She said she’d get manager to come out to our table to sort refund. Waited a while, went back in to see what was happening, waited some more, then saw our food coming out so went back to table outside. Had to wait for cutlery - condiments brought to us first then another minute for cutlery. Food was really tasty actually until half way through meal I chewed down on a big bit of plastic wrap in the cabbage/greens. We’re not having much luck with this place, are we?! Was just about to take plate in to show manager but she was on her way out to see us about the drinks refund. She took plate with her so didn’t get chance to take photo. We went back inside to sort this long-awaited refund which took a further 10 minutes to issue as I had to prove we’d paid twice and manager was having difficulty with the POS system. A brief apology was given for the plastic in my food but no mention of a discount or refund for that. Or at the very least a profuse apology. To be honest, I just wanted to get out of there at this point instead of complaining further as it was overall a rather unpleasant experience. Chaotic management of staff. Plus the plastic wrap in food. Shame. Seemed a lot of hassle just to get refunded for a couple of drinks. Plus, £23.50 for scampi & chips is a bit much. A good roast (without the plastic) maybe, but not a pub staple such as scampi & chips. Poor show guys. Treat your customers better.

Just wanted to leave a review to say food was fabulous and how lovely everyone was. We were walk-ins on a Sunday - managed to get fitted in, ordered our meals, starters arrived and then we had the phone call to go collect smallest family member as he was poorly at Scout Camp. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful - they packaged our meal up and wished us well. Just so lovely and helpful. We had a managed to eat our starters in-house and they were delicious.

This pub has a nice interior, smart but also warm. We both had fish and chips. The service was very good, quick and friendly. The fish was good, the chips were ok, the mushy peas were a bit cold and too much like a soggy purée for my liking. The food was good without making us think we must go back again. The only real downside was the noise level, with some customers, who appeared to be well-oiled, shouting their heads off. Hopefully they’re not regulars.

Having recently moved to Limpsfield we are so lucky to have this delightful pub on our doorstep. Great menu, excellent service and a regular programme of events too

Fantastic food and atmosphere. We come here fairly often, tonight's fruit crumble was a triumph! Lovely place, olde worldy with a twist in a beautiful village high street and great walking area.

I have wanted to try this gastro pub for months and after a long I was not disappointed! We went for lunch and both had the turkey dinner with all the trimmings at £19.95. Beautifully presented and very tasty. Ok the roast potatoes were not the best but I wouldn’t like to have to present roasts within a few minutes! The turkey, gravy, pigs in blankets, parsnips, sprouts and Yorkshire were all first rate. Even though very full we decided to share a portion of the delicious sticky toffee date pudding with honeycomb ice cream. It arrived as a double portion and we ate every scrap! No more food today! Excellent fast and very friendly service. We shall be back. Recommended! Thank you for a brilliant lunch.

We had the baked Camembert to share and it was plentiful, fresh and extremely tasty. Thank you for a lovely meal in great surroundings

Just wanted to say big thanks to Danny and the team at the Bull today amazing Sunday roast beef together with some great live music! Special thanks to Maryna for the great service and to Fausto for the great food Well done to the team at the Bull !

Really good food, 'brownie of heaven', really excellent pub grub. Friendly staff and a picturesque setting, worth traveling up from Hever or Chartwell.

We visited the Bull on a Sunday at about 15:30 with my parents who were visiting from South Africa. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly and the food was amazing. Pork and chicken roasts were outstanding and the sticky toffee pudding was great. Honestly the best roast I’ve had in a pub in years.

Fabulous lunch with our family today. We were late for our booked table but they were very accommodating even though the kitchen was about to close. We were made to feel very welcome. Food was lovely and can recommend the chicken and tarragon pot pie,...

A very warm welcome. Excellent service throughout. Great menu choices and the food was delicious. The cooking of the food was exactly as we ordered. Well done everyone and thank you

I came here with my colleague for lunch and the food was exquisite. The staff were friendly and attentive. It’s a small pub with great character situated in the tiny high st of Limpsfield. We will definitely be back. We would recommend the Scotch Eggs...

Lovely cosy pub which catered well for a group of 9. Food was great and came quickly considering them telling us they were short of kitchen staff. Good selection of beer and wine and staff very friendly.

Wonderful Sunday lunch…best roast beef ever and very friendly staff….packed on a Sunday but perfectly paced and all fresh/hot well presented

Both my wife and I had a very enjoyable evening. Food and wine were excellent, service was very friendly and efficient. Price was another pleasant surprise, which we found somewhat low for the high quality of the food.

Sat outside in balmy weather with a glass of rose and a delicious supper. Fab aubergine salad and great burger. Danni was super and her team were very friendly and efficient.

This was our first visit to The Bull and we were not disappointed. Danni and her team made us feel very welcome, the service, food and atmosphere were all excellent. We will definitely be returning with friends. Keep up the good work, Thank you!

We went as a group of four adults for Sunday lunch as we were staying in a fabulous Airbnb just up the nearby lane. Service was relaxed and the roast was delicious. They had a great wine selection, the interior was beautifully designed and the COVID 19 measures that they had in place were very good. I would certainly recommend.

To be honest disappointed with Sunday roast. Asked for medium-rare beef and it was definitely more on the raw side in some pieces, the fat was not rendered down at all. Yorkshire was leathery and potatoes not crisp. Scotch egg was perfect. It is expensive. Service good and staff attentive.

Last year had a nice meal here and thought we would visit again as the COVID measures are easing - this time around it was very disappointing - the pate starter was sliced so thin there was hardly enough to cover the three small thin slices of toast. The main courses were all very disappointing- all the food was served lukewarm. The food arrived plated and the vegetables consisted of 2 tiny pieces of broccoli head - a tiny carrot smaller than a child’s little finger and a couple of small hard bits of parsnip - the roast potatoes were soggy and cold. The gravy was cold and gloopy. We didn’t complain at the time as we were with other people and didn’t want to make a fuss. There was a very limited menu and no wine list was available due to COVID?? We just ordered our usual drinks but have to say when we got the bill we thought they were well overpriced. In fact for the amount and quality of food we had it was overpriced and basic. Service was slow and amateur - shame but we will not return

Been going here numerous times but not for a while and since it's changed hands. COVID measures and staff were excellent but unfortunately that's as far as it goes. Food was v.expensive and I struggle to see how they can justify the prices. Qualiity not great and tiny portions, and when you're paying top dollar you expect a lot more. I can't see me going back anytime soon.

We have just had a delicious lunch at this lovely village pub. They have put in all the Covid measures which makes you feel at ease. Well done Team Bull!

Went there for a drink with the missus. I was driving, so initially had a blackcurrant soda, and missus had a gin and tonic. Drinks bill came to virtually the same price for each drink. 10p in it. I questioned it, and they said that is what that soft drink costs. How can this be. Nice place, and good atmosphere and from what I understand the food is very good. Decided next to order vodka and coke, seemed stupid not to, which was same price. Didn't know what to make of it, but effectively encouraged me to drink and drive. Crazy. Never come across that before.

I had dinner with a friend at The Bull, good service but my main course of lamb consisted of 2 minuscule cutlets, I ordered the lamb to be pink but the meat was well done and the fat hadn’t been rendered with a spoonful of mash, roasted vegetables and red pepper purée, I would expect more for £19.00, at least 4 cutlets especially as they were so small - disappointed as it was my first ever visit and I’m not sure if I’ll return unless I get more for my money.

What a gorgeous pub. Great staff and a warm and very welcoming atmosphere. It was busy and so booking for the restaurant is essential. The car park is a bit snug and quite tight to get in so be warned if you have a huge car! The Sunday menu was interesting and the food plentiful. There were proper linen napkins too. We got given a carafe of water on arrival without having to ask for it with cucumber in it which was a nice touch. We shared a veggie platter as a starter and ordered some olives alongside. Bizarrely they had run out of olives and we were told it would be removed from the order which was fine. I didn’t have the Sunday roast and two of us ordered guinea fowl instead. Everyone else had veg as part of their meal but ours came with just guinea fowl and mash which was a little disappointing. It was a bit off when you get veg with some meals and not others and I wish I had been told when I ordered. Desserts were interesting. I had affogato which I love and have often in other restaurants and is usually a generous portion of ice cream. However this was a small scoop and did not compare to the other generously proportioned desserts. The toilets were on the ground floor and were immaculate with paper towels and Molten Brown toiletries too. The meal was very reasonably priced however when we got the bill the olives were still on there. By the time we had realised it seemed churlish to make an issue so we paid and let it go on the staff tip instead. So all in all a lovely Sunday lunch in a nice venue with nice staff but a couple of little nibbles hence my 4 stars.

I was treated to a surprise party at The Bull and had a fantastic time. Everyone was very impressed with both the tapas food and service. Ross was an excellent host making sure that no one was hungry or thirsty!! Would recommend to anyone.

Best ever Sunday lunch, I’m the fussiest punter but recognise this establishment as the best in our United Kingdom!

We visited in December and have seen great improvement under the management of James. We received good service and the atmosphere was friendly.

We stopped here after visiting Chartwell for a pub lunch and the food was very tasty. I can recommend the burger which was excellent.

Visited here for a works meeting - best pub food I’ve had in a very long time definitely worth a visit.

Perfect venue for a fun gathering, well stocked bar and great food. We were able to play our own music but as bar music selection so good we didn’t bother with our own. The bar tender for the evening was Ben Pitt and he was brilliant, totally read the group and ensured everyone had a good time, glasses were filled and a fun and festive atmosphere created. Would highly recommend and we will definitely use the venue again!

Excellent supper. Very attentive service (Ross and Jack?) and delightful food. Beer pretty drinkable too! Look forward to going back soon.

Was conscious of some of the negative reviews before visiting . However what I found was a very warm cozy place on a cold December evening. Staff were welcoming and when we asked to move tables we were happily accommodated. Lots of small type sharing things for starters . Some interesting main courses , veg curry was good, goulash was good . Nice desserts. Whilst it’s a shame that so many of these “local” pubs have lost a proper bar area and been turned over to 95% food this one handles the transformation well in my opinion .

As a group of 12 ladies we had a great time at the Bull Inn where we had a private dinning room upstairs. Our food was pre chosen from the Christmas and monthly menus. All was beautifully served and the quality was great. The choices are a bit quirky and have a modern twist. Portion size is moderate but adequate. The turkey dinner was lovely and fish pie delicious. They make their own bread which was fab. Service was good especially as they had to go up & down stairs. It wasn’t too busy and this could have an impact on service. Overall we really enjoyed our visit.

On Sunday 8th December we went to the Bull for a girly Christmas lunch. We had the upstairs private dining room which was fabulous as we were a noisy bunch. We preordered our food (and managed to remember what we ordered always useful!) and it wasn't a straightforward order what with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free requirements! The team at the Bull got our orders ready perfectly. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Jack served us and was great - very patient with us all. Even though I was a wee bit full, I was tempted by the sound of the Banana Souffle - and oh my goodness, I was not disappointed. It was so so light and tasty - I can heartily recommend it. Such great food and service ... won't be long before I return.

We had passed this pub many times and today we finally popped in. We will certainly make this a regular ‘go to’ for lunch or dinner. We had the lamb, and venison and then a wonderful banana soufflé. It was fab. If I could offer one bit of advise is that the portion of the mains were really large so I was glad we didn’t have a starter, I only squeezed a desert in as I LOVE soufflés. The service was fantastic as well, really friendly and attentive. The pub itself is lovely and relaxing to dine/sit in. 10 out of 10 well `the bull team and management. We will be back. I really recommend this pub as it’s the best in the area, fresh food, not chain pub food. What a refreshing change, we don’t bother with any of the other gastro pubs as they’re so disappointing.

Quite superb, thank you. Presentation and taste spot on. My first visit since The Bull's refit and I was most impressed.

Tuesday night is obviously a quiet might at The Bull. Only a few tables occupied. We had booked and were greeted warmly. Unfortunately our drinks order got 'mislaid' meaning a poor start. Nevermind the menu was attractive, and very different. Two of us had Cauliflower fritters, the other three had grilled Halloumi, all very unusual and tasty. For mains I had the vegetarian Massoman curry, others had fish pie or the cod. Deserts were interesting; parsnip creme brulee and fruit crumble. Full meal with drinks £40 a head. Recommended but watch for the service.

Popped in for lunch last weekend with a friend. The manager was quick to tell us there would be a bit of a wait to be served as he was down on staff. We were happy to wait and glad we did as we had a great afternoon. After initial wait the service was great and so was the fish and chips. James, the manager, was calm and polite throughout and it was a real pleasure to meet him. Really nice pub and we will return. Thanks, James, best of luck. Owen and Sabrina

I was appalled at the situation that arose this evening. Siting quietly in a very empty pub - guy walks in with a friendly well behaved dog- bar staff serve him with a pint and then walk over and tell him his dog is not welcome as ‘this is a gastro pub’ . I am ashamed to be associated with this supposedly village enterprise- no understanding of customer service disgusting.

The waiting staff were very pleasant but inexperienced. The service was slow and the food was mediocre.

Another amazing Sunday lunch, never disappoints. So great to see a local pub doing so well. Great atmosphere.

Thoroughly enjoyable meal and good service. Probably best meal we’ve had in the area for some time. Would definitely recommend.

The absolute best roast I’ve had in years - delicious The service was excellent- friendly/helpful staff.

We went for a meal just the two of us on Saturday night and couldn’t have asked for better service, delicious food and top service. Can’t wait to go again this Saturday.

Just back from a lovely Sunday lunch. Very attentive service from all members of staff. Great food. The Yorkshire puddings were a spectacle to behold. Great atmosphere of a local pub. Thanks to James for ensuring everything was co-ordinated on point and in good time. Also thanks to Harriet F for looking after us. We will be back.

We were so excited when this pub reopened after the refurbishment because we are locals and finally had a pub within walking distance. Last night was our 5th visit and I’m afraid it may be our last for food. The food is amazing, it’s the service that is absolutely shocking. Every time we’ve visited the service has been so poor that we go back to our usual haunts rather than risk it, but we’ve always chalked it up to teething problems as a new pub. Sadly it’s been open for a year now and I’m afraid this is no longer excusable. Last night we booked a table for my husband’s birthday and when we arrived it was fairly quiet. We ended up standing around aimlessly at the bar for a few minutes unacknowledged until the bar man nudged a young man who looked lost to help us. He told us to sit wherever we liked which was fine, gave us our menus and then disappeared. He came back asking for our drink order a few minutes later but we hadn’t been given a drinks menu so we had to guess. We then ordered food and were offered tap water which never materialised. After our starters we ordered another drink knowing that the wait time can vary at this place. We’ve taken family and friends here before and each time it was so bad that I had to ask if they’d forgotten us. I’m normally very patient and hate to say anything so I can assure you it was bad if I said something. The drink never materialised either and once again we were left sitting for ages and had to ask for them again when our mains finally arrived.
