It was great, I had a 30% off voucher so the carvery was a bargain at £7. The meat and Yorkshire Pudding / Stuffing / mashed potato was all very nice, the veg did look like it had been out a while and could have done with a refresh but was still fine. The only thing I was a bit disappointed with was the roast potatoes as they tasted like frozen potatoes and I like freshly made ones.

Having been here few times before and been very disappointed I was a bit reluctant to go again but as it was my friend’s special birthday i decided to give it a try , and so glad I did because it was one of the nicest carvery I’ve had in a long time , even though we were late going up for our food there was still a lovely choice , the beef and turkey were done to perfection so well done everyone for lovely meal

Spent over half an hour waiting for two simple dishes. None of the serving staff acknowledged us when sat down but acknowledged other tables. We were the only table within that space at this time from a non-white background. I think something needs to be addressed here. Treat all of your customers equally. We are all human and shouldn’t be treated less favourably. Slightly uncomfortable. I had to ask twice regarding the eta of our food, both times the waitresses didn’t return to our table with an update. The second waitress for whatever reason found this a little comical, I noticed her speaking with the Bartender who had taken my order - they were both looking over. Around 10 minutes later the food arrived and the lady who took my order, placed the plates on our table apologising for the delay and offered us free drinks - which we realistically weren’t going to have as we have pints of whatever we were drinking. The food was very average but at this point we were hungry so we ate it. But in all honesty the service was absolutely poor and the fact that the food came in a dirty plate was beyond me. The plate had dried food stains on it so it was evident that this wasn’t dribbles from the new food that had been put on the plate. I believe our order had been forgotten about and the lack of effort to try and resolve this was shocking. Picture attached of then mediocre food and dirty plate that it was served in. I’ve been to pubs before and the service is so much more better, friendlier and welcoming. Would not return here again or recommend if you’re from an ethnic background, unless you want to be singled out and want a below average service and experience.

What a disaster, went to order food and didn’t get past the starter we tried to order nachos but they had none. As I was walking back to the table to consult the family I asked is there anything else that you are out of. The answer was we have no nachos, no lasagna, no burger buns, no chips and no fish. Despite this we looked over what was left on the menu went back to the bar and the same person said I should have mentioned there is at least a 1 hour wait for food. That was the last straw and we decided to go elsewhere. On the way out there was another family at the bar complaining because half there food had come and there were then told that they had run out of the other things they had ordered.

Huge shout out to the staff! After a trip round Ikea, my partner and I decided to call in for lunch. Literally, as soon as we walked through the doors, my blood sugars plummeted (I’m diabetic). The staff were brilliant, bringing sweet items, chocolate and even the manager came to make sure I was ok. We were also checked on to ensure I was ok for a short while afterwards. In my opinion, this was above and beyond their job descriptions and very much appreciated. Will definitely be returning and definitely recommend!

Having been here numerous times can honestly say again really disappointed with our Xmas festive meal..not enough staff on at all the queues for drinks at the bar were a nightmare. Felt rushed completely hadn't even sat down longer than 2 minutes and were bringing the starter out. The carvery was very dried up an usually its really nice. An really let down with the cheese and biscuits. Stilton completely missing off the plate and just had a small piece of camembert with some pre sliced cheese slices. Grapes had gone brown also. No one even addressed the fact that what the menu advertised on the cheese and biscuits was not what we got. Staff were all friendly an completely rushed off their feet an they were trying their best but just not enough people on to offer the level of customer service they should be to make the festive atmosphere and meals enjoyable. Food was the worst I have ever known it I'm sorry to say. This is by no means a negative comment to the staff they were all flat out working hard but definitely needed more people it was chaos if I'm honest.

Returned to Chestnut tree for first time since Lockdown . Although there is No designated Disabled parking, my first impressions were satisfactory in and around the venue. Once inside and following the clear instructions on the door with the procedure for seating and ordering food, I then came across my issue with the venue! One solitary Bar person ( female ) on duty approx 13:30 on a Saturday and clearly Not adequately trained, a long queue was allowed to build up , as She was clearly unable to cope with her workload. Onto a very satisfactory Carvery which proved to be good Value for Money

I have used this place a lot since it opened. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food and service is excellent. The only fault I have with this place is they have changed the menu and its no where near as good as it used to be. Not the same amount of vegetarian options.

We had a carvery. Paid at the bar, got into a very small queue relatively quickly and sat down to eat. So no long queues or waiting. The meat selection was smaller than their main competitor, and somewhat smaller portion wise (2 slices max) Veg selection was also quite small, but it was all cooked properly and none of it tasted offish. So it was average, I couldn't find any obvious faults but when you compare the carvery to its main competitor, it was vastly inferior.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to try the Chestnut Tree after 5 years since my last visit. I went on a Thursday lunchtime about 12:30am and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were polite and friendly and the carvery was good although there seemed a lack of variety of vegetables that were available.On the whole, my experience was much better than before, and having heard negative reviews during the last 5 years I was interested to see for myself whether there had been any improvements.I suspect that the management and/or kitchen staff have been changed because I was not at all disappointed with my meal.I intend to return for a Sunday Lunch to see how it compares to about 5 others I have tried recently.

Visited here on Sat 4th Sept my hubby & I. It was very busy, very friendly staff. Ordered a Hunters Chicken & had a Carvery too. I must say it was done in about 1/2 hr, my hubby fetched his carvery and I was delighted to say that the Hunters chicken was superb, red hot cooked very nicely, bacon was perfect. Sides of chips onion rings & a salad, even that was superb! Very very enjoyable & filling. Beef on carvery was moist & soft! Potatoes were lovely. The only criticism is the veg I think they should have more choice, perhaps Broccoli, cabbage, sprouts could be added but carrots were chunky and beautifully cooked. We managed a pud, both had the Apple Pie which was lovely not to tangy or sweet, custard was smooth and hot!A pint, 1/2 cider & two refillable cokes Price £41Very good service & meal was superb

Pre Covid this was an excellent pub. After Covid very poor. All new staff all meals increased by a pound or more. Ordered a Regular Carvery for £9.49. Smaller portion than a Medium Carvery pre Covid which was a pound cheaper. Meat was poor quality dry and flaky. We used to visit this pub on a regular basis pre Covid but maybe time to find somewhere else for meals.

Great food, great welcome. But I asked for "diet Pepsi" and was told Pepsi max IS diet Pepsi....... Not quite true, two different products,Meal was fab but when my sundae arrived it was bought out with a soup spoon.......so i chuckled and then dutifully shovelled it down, but when it came to the dregs I asked a waitress for a "tea spoon" and was bought a dessert spoon. I know, trivial yes, laughable too in a funny way, yes but just a couple of basics that I KNOW Marstons staff should really know about.

She was rushed off her feet but gave her all to ensure me and my sister got 5 star service even though she was rushed off her feet and dealing with awkward guests!! she succeeded 1000% The wait on food drinks etc didn’t effect us at all as she was so lovely and couldn’t do enough to accommodate our needs.

My Cousin & I visited today for a carvery lunch. We have met here often in the past as it is half way between our homes.The food has always been average, nothing spectacular.But the staff are friendly & it appears clean.This was our 1st visit post covid.We were not allowed near the carvery but had to stand behind a barrier.Today we were given a tiny portion of meat. The Turkey was very dry. Very poor tbh.The Carver then asked which veg we wanted & put it all onto our plates.Fair enough. But then they said that the member of staff who greeted us at the door and handled everybodys filled in forms & pens would then carry our lunch to the table.She did this for everyone.We watched.Is it me? Or wouldn’t it be more Covid safe for us to hold the plate ourself, whilst all food was put on it? Then only 1 person has touched my plate-Me!This Girl was cross contaminating everybodys plates!Not her fault. She’s just following orders.Come on Chesnut Tree-Think about it. Common sense.

Understanding there was a wait with covid restrictions, arriving after we booked our table for 2.15, Sunday, our drinks order taking a while to arrive then being told food is an hour wait, so we decided to wait an hours not long right! So gave my order i don't eat turkey so just 2 meats only eat carrots, dinner ordered fine, so well over an hour later 3.45 our food comes, no carrots ran out, no meat ran out, so why bring the dinner out with 3 roaster 1 new potatoe and a Yorkshire pudding and turkey!, got to be the worst place I've eaten at, just feel like they put what was left on the plate, I would never recommend this place and I well never return myself, maybe I should of looked on hear 1st I would never of gone with all the comments I've just read.

honestly don,t know where to start .After booking our table online which was very straight forward we were looking forward to having a nice Sunday carvery out. we were shown to our table on arrival and told someone would be over to take our drinks order, after waiting half an hour a young lady came over to take our drinks and food order,15 minutes later our drinks arrived. an hour & 20 mins later our food arrived which was just warm,after waiting so long i couldnt eat it ,i was absolutley fuming. everyone was complaining about the service {or lack of it}, the young waitress {paige}was taking the brunt of everones frustraition,orders were getting lost,wrong orders were being given by the other 2 members of staff who hadnt got a rush in them. Paige was appologising to everyone explaining it was the first Sunday opening & staff had left during lockdown whom hadnt been replaced. Im sorry but the Manager should of sorted this as the lack of service & communication will not bring footfall through your doors. We deffinatley will NOT be reccomending you to anyone. WELL DONE PAIGE , YOU WERE A STAR TODAY

Arrived after booking on line and was greeted lovely and shown to our table. 1 person a young lady is taking drinks orders, food orders and then also has to serve them to your table. This is 1 person to the whole restaurant. You can only imagine the delay between ordering drinks and receiving your food. Ours was nearing a 2 hour wait for food. Customers arriving was seated and left for long periods, customers were complaining, food orders were mixed up and the overall atmosphere of a pleasant Sunday lunch out was squashed. Understandably ther are covid restrictions in place but one member of staff fleeting to take orders and serve across an whole restaurant is diabolical. Staff at the carvery which we sat close by dordled in plating up thus causing a backlog of serving customers. Food was of minimum quantity to the prices charged, beef was tough, cauliflower cheese was 1 sprigs with no cheese and a medium plate was smaller portions than one of our party of four who had a small plate. Food was luke warm, not enjoyable. We was approached on leaving from the young lady serving and given a 25% discount, this was not offered through us complaining she was compensating for the long delays with service. I would never return to this restaurant and most definitely would not recommend, waste of money, waste of time and unpleasant atmosphere.

We arrived there at 2pm and was shown a seat. I t then took 20 mins before anyone came to take drinks order, The drinks order was totally wrong and had to be redone. By the time that was sorted it was another 20 mins. We ordered food and I ordered carvery, when it came the beef was absolutely disgusting, you could not chew it plus there was a piece that was rock hard, I didn't make a fuss but just took the beef to show the Chef and his words were 'Oh Yea' no apology. They had run out of desserts which I know can happen. But all in all it was not the relaxing experience we were expecting. We were not the only people who were disgruntled either. I do think they need some more staff there as well.

Visited here last week after a trip to IKEA, saw it on the way in and decided that we'd try it instead of the ikea café. Glad we did, the food and drink were great and the service from Annalise was brilliant. Would definitely go back on the next trip!

Another lovely visit to the chestnut tree, the staff are always so friendly and helpful. I think the girl's name who served us this time was Annalie. She was lovely and friendly. I felt really safe with the whole covid thing too, and will definitely be returning soon.
