Myself, my husband and a few friends enjoyed a lovely meal before a quiz night that was being held there. The waitress was lovely and very helpful, prompt and friendly. The food was tasty and the quiz was fun. All in all a good night all round.

Had the odd meal that's not great but Lisa quick to help and put right goes the extra mile which is nice she is friendly and even remembers what we drink now! Like the surroundings very comfortable and clean nice friendly staff nice place to eat reasonable prices too

Always a friendly welcome, food is always hot and well presented, especially after they seem to have ditched the triangular plates. We like the roast dinners on a Sunday also and the fish and chips is very good especially for the price. We’ll keep coming back.

It has to be the worst fish and chips that I have ever had. Everything on the plate was dry. The fish batter was rock hard and the chips, what few there were, were very dry. I ate mine because I was hungry, but my wife could not finish hers. I reported this to the Manager and all he could say was “I’m Sorry”. I really don’t know why I bothered. What a disappointment as it was my birthday. I will never visit there again.

Since leaving the review below, we have visited 4 more times. Each time beng served by the lovely Lisa. The meals continue to e very good value for money & delicious. Lisa is always friendly & patient, even hunting out a sherry for my Mum. Delicious Sunday roast. Having sampled most of the Sunday roasts available in establishments around Haverhill over the past 6 months, I can honestly say this has been the most delicious. The thick slices of pork were tasty with crackling that melted in my mouth. The huge yorkshire pudding was beautifully light and just the right amount of rich gravy covered the plate. The roasted carrot, parsnip & potatoes were crispy but tender & fluffy inside. With the peas, green beans & sugar snap peas (declined the red cabbage), the meal looked colourful, appetising and did not disappoint.

We sat down and I went over to the bar to order our drinks, the bar was very clean and the barmen (Jordan) was very friendly and polite with helping what drinks were available and recommended several choices to choose from. The food was okay and nothing to write home about, average pub grub but the atmosphere and staff made up for it!

They have a new menu and a week ago I tried their chicken schnitzel ceasar salad with fries on the side Great! Today I ordered the same thing and NO WAY did it resemble anything like the original Either the chef didn’t know what a Caesar salad was ( or a chicken schnitzel) or. Couldn’t care less! My schnitzel was covered in bbq sauce and what looked like mozzarella cheese! The ceasar salad was 3 lettuce leaves and tomato!!!!! The dressing was some clear bitty liquid/ not ceasar dressing! AND no Parmesan cheese. What a total fun up. ! Finally the waitress gave me the bill without 30% discount for mains, Don’t they train their staff?!!

Food was cold when it came out. Table was pre-booked and I received a text the day before asking to confirm the booking. When we arrived at the place we were not informed that quite a few items on the menu were not available, i.e no roast potatoes, turkey and other items of which I can't remember. I ended up just having roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, which was cold and the beef was like boot leather. We waited over an hour and a half and in that time only 2 starters had come out. We explained this to a member of staff and the response was "and". We had a 4 year old who was getting very hungry and asked if they could at least bring out the children's dinners. The response was " I will have to speak to the kitchen". When the meals did start coming out, it wasn't the children's. The place was not busy at the time. No one enjoyed their meal. We were a party of 10 and was celebrating a birthday. When I paid there was no apology for the delay and no money off offered. We were not even told to have a good evening when we left. We will not be going back

I am so grateful to be able to find a restaurant that copes with my fussy eating. I swapped various items for others items and you were able to accommodate my wishes. At another previous restaurants my wishes had been refused, saying I had to have what was listed on the menu only. One area that could benefit others more is by having another vegetarian dish on offer. Thank you all.

Nice food. Service terrible. Bad attitude from young blonde waitress. We waited over half an hour for our table to be cleared & was only cleared once my husband went and asked. Waited absolutely ages for our dessert, and when the waitress came with our desserts, she banged them on the table and said "here's ya tart' and skulked off. Think she needs training in people management. Her attitude needs to be more friendly towards paying customers.

We came as a family and weren’t treated too nicely. Our cutlery and napkins were dirty. We then waited an hour for our food. We ordered a ribeye steak to be told that wasn’t available only 30 mins later. Our sirloin steaks came out well done, when we asked for medium. The service and food was really bad. The staff seemed rude and not bothered.

Most of the menu had ran out so nobody could order what they wanted. The party was for a birthday and the persons whose birthday it was is a vegetarian so had almost nothing to eat. I reluctantly ordered a burger which was supposed to come with coleslaw but found out after I got my food that there was no coleslaw either! So I paid full price for a meal which had items missing. My burger was burnt in some places and so were all the Yorkshire puddings that people had. Why do you think it is acceptable to serve visibly burnt food?! The staff were dressed like they were popping down the job centre and lacked the capability to smile. I paid £15 for a main meal which I could have made in my air fryer for a few pounds, and it would have tasted better. Absolutely awful experience. It’s a shame because the restaurant itself looks fairly nice but that is the only thing going for it. I would like to say that it was a one off bad experience but every time I’ve been here it has been the same problems. I was gutted when we were told where we were going because I knew what I was in for. Never again.

Coffee was cold and very watery taste , lamb kofta taste horrible (probably the cheap meatballs from tin will taste better ) calamari like Haribo gummy, fish and chips -yeah chips was ok , desserts -vanilla ice cream - doesn’t taste like vanilla at all,brownie wasn’t good either -we tried lots of pubs ,restaurants and this one was the worst one unfortunately. Quality of food is very poor (well there was lots of elderly people and it looks like they enjoyed) Menus -falling apart and dirty (disgusting 🤢) We spent more than £100 and came back home hungry 🙈 Shame because pub looks very nice and is good location. They should change a food company Next day I woke up with big sore cold on my lips🫣

We visited the Flying Shuttle last night. We come to this pub regularly, visiting 5 times in the last 2 months. Usually our experience is great, food is nice and service is full of smiles. This time however not so great. My son (16) asked for a cider to go with his meal, of course accompanied by his parents. He carries his ID too. On ALL our previous visits he has had cider with no issues. However this time the young waiter asked for ID. My son of course handed over his driving licence. The waiter then told him he is under aged and cannot be served. Me and my wife both made him aware of our son's rights. The waiter went on to tell us its policy to not serve anyone under the age of 18. We asked to speak to the manager who also told us its policy and its in fact the policy of Marston's. We asked to see this policy and was told to go online. We spent a good 10 minutes going through Marston's policies online and Flying shuttles website. We could not find such policies laid out anywhere. It was because of this we decided to leave and obviously won't be returning. It's a real shame they have such ridiculous policies which completely embarrassed our son. We have made contact with Marston's to check that such policy exists. And if it does we will request for this to be made more clearer for future patrons. It baffles me a public house can afford to loose custom over something that is completely within the law. Update pending, once we have heard back from Marston's. Thank you for ruining a family meal out. **Thank you for your reply Carol. Would you also be able to point us to where this policy is outlined ? Thank you.**

Boxing Day 2024 lunch - over cocked, cold, slow and no smiles. Really disappointed. 3 hours to get a 3 course PRE ORDERED dinner for 5 people. Salmon starters - one thin sliver only, no garnish and frozen butter. Soup was lukewarm. Roast dinner - well, yorkshire puddings were cold yet burnt. Roasties were cold and rock hard. Sprouts not trimmed correctly so not cooked right. Turkey, as dry as Gandhi’s flip flop. Pigs in blankets not cocked fully. Crumble would have been ok if there was more custard than a thimble…. I know the place is a fry and microwave kitchen mainly, but pick you game up guys…. Only one real ale on, after been my told there wasn’t any. Service with no smile or any enthusiasm what so ever. And yes they sat us right next to the toilets… carpet was dirty, clearly not hoovered that area (we were the first table of the day there). £200 wasted. Went for a Macdonald’s after to fill ourselves up - which was hot and fast 👍 Will not be going back while under current management.

A tasteless fish and chips.. dry chips... had to fight to get a mug of tea. The outer kitchen (where the teas and coffees are made) looked in great need of a high pressure hose... The young woman that took our order was short, fat and spotty, totally unsmiling and dedicated to being unhelpful... grumpy and snappy when asked a direct question.. My partner ordered a salad.. a bland and tasteless salad. We were allowed mugs for our tea at the third time of asking... one was dirty.. What a disaster!
