The Foley in Elmbridge

I am deeply dissatisfied. I ordered the avocado poached eggs and my mum ordered the haddock sandwich, which both arrived cold. Although we noticed the temperature, after waiting for the food, we were too hungry to complain and assumed it would still be safe to eat and trusted that the staff would not serve something that was not fit for consumption! Regrettably, after eating the sandwich, my mother experienced food poisoning symptoms, which I am confident were a direct result of the cold, possibly unsafe haddock. This experience has left us deeply upset with both the quality of food and the service at The Foley Pub. It is particularly frustrating, given that I have had a prior unpleasant experience with the food here. After this most recent incident, I am left questioning the standards of food safety and hygiene being maintained in the kitchen! This level of service is completely unacceptable, and I feel that as paying customers, our health and satisfaction should have been prioritised. Not impressed.

Aileen, stefanous and team great as always

Service was exceptional, we are customers with high expectations and they staff delivered with excellence. Food was delicious and atmosphere superb. Will definitely be coming back. Aline was superb. Tres Bien!!!!

Great food, atmosphere reflected it was Rugby weekend, noisy but fine, restaurant was quieter but really good,, great service by French manageress and others, fish and chips excellent except mushy peas tiny portion. F&C great as was pasta with crab etc. Beer good as expected in Youngs pub. First time but I’ll be back.

Nicholas provided excellent service and the food was great. Thank you

We went to The Foley for Sunday lunch today. The food was superb - I had the roast beef and it was the best roast I’ve had in a long time. Delicious beef, plenty of veg and Yorkshire pudding. Highly recommend, we’ll be back soon!

We had a fabulous time. The staff are lovely,very helpful and accommodating.The food was amazing,and the atmosphere is very friendly. It's very dog friendly and understanding throughout,even with our three dogs,one of which was very excited to see the other two and at times a little noisy,despite our best efforts to keep him calm. It was a perfect family meet up,as we all travelled from different areas for long overdue get together. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Stayed at the Foley on Valentines Day for our 30th wedding anniversary. Our room was lovely and spacious and extremely comfortable. Had a fantastic meal in the restaurant and a great breakfast. All the staff were polite and friendly and had time to chat. Excellent place to stay if you are visiting the area.

Just had coffee with my walking group friends. Lovely service and delicious coffee. Nice atmosphere and beautifully furnished.

We had a family celebration for my son’s 18th birthday at the Foley: the service was excellent, the food was great and we had a really fun evening; thank you!

We had a very enjoyable lunch with friends. Service good, staff very friendly. Sticky toffee pudding was a highlight. Shame that main vegetarian option was not available but we were pleased with our choices.

A really nice lunch in the beautifully renovated restaurant. The dining room has been greatly improved by thoughtful layout changes and attractive new furniture. My trout special with new potatoes and samphire was superb.

We had a lovely Roast Pork!! Plates were hot, fresh vegetables, abundant gravy and we really had the traditional feeling like it was home from home !! Hats off to the chef and all the team. Definitely, we will be back.

Great Sunday roast, will definitely be back again

Very friendly and lovely new decor! Lovely Sever Alfie

The food was delicious. If you have a child make sure to get a beef burger for them. The waiters and waitress was lovely.

Food was beautifully cooked and our waiters were friendly and helpful. Service was a bit on the slow side considering the restaurant was only half full. The temperature in the dining room could have been warmer but a very pleasant ambience. It was Burns Night and we were given a shot of malt whiskey which was a lovely gesture.

Went for a Sunday roast, and food was good and generous. It could have been better if gravy was on the side as too much on the plate, where food was swimming a bit, but maybe that's the pub signature? Cauliflower cheese was al dente; personally, I'd have preferred it a bit steamed/softer. Good taste and quality overall. Pleasant atmosphere and great staff though. 7.5/10 for me.

For me, very easily the best Young’s Pub in the immediate vicinity, when compared to x2 in Esher, x1 in Oxshott, x1 in Cobham (albeit that’s decent), and also the Weyside in Guildford and even the Grantley Arms in Wonersh (incidentally excellent - really close second, plus an amazing building). Staff and service - always both excellent. Comfortable seating with a really decent outdoor area. Very decent array of drinks, and is the perfect mix of pub and restaurant, in my humble opinion (which is very rarely humble),

Had both breakfast and dinner during our stay and both were fabulous! Nicholas served us during all of our breakfasts and he was so lovely and accommodating. The kitchen team were so kind to not only provide gluten free alternatives, but also to go a step further and accommodate my personal preferences too. As a Coeliac you’re used to just having to get whatever’s gluten free on the menu, regardless of whether you like it, so it was so lovely to have them accommodate a breakfast I could both eat and enjoy, thank you so much! The restaurant area is lovely too. Our dinner in the pub was also amazing. Such high quality food, made so well. No complaints at all. Lovely bar staff, lovely food, lovely decor, and a lovely beer garden! No complaints at all, would recommend!

We had an excellent lunch with friends at The Foley on Sunday - brilliant staff, excellent food (roasts are one of the hardest meals to get right as they are rarely as good as the one you make at home), and good value. Thanks for taking such good care of us - see you soon.

All three had a lovely roast dinner. It was delicious and we all enjoyed our meal.

Seems quite disorganised for a restaurant where it looked like they had lost out reservation, but seated us anyway. The food portions were tiny. The flavours were great, but £5 for a side of kale and I got one tiny piece of a leaf on a plate. Chocolate mousse was similar with around 1cm worth of mousse in a glass. I really wouldnt recommend as the experience was poor. Had to ask for cutlery for each course, dessert menus (as all still so hungry after mains) as well as the bill as no one came to clear the table. All a little lax for the prices charged.

Very, very cosy and elegant place. I love it

Returning to The Foley for another stay was a real pleasure. Since my last visit, the pub has been beautifully refurbished and now has a warm, stylish, and inviting atmosphere that makes it a great place to unwind. Richard provided a warm, friendly, and professional welcome at check-in. My room was spotless, spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—great for a good night’s sleep. There were lots of breakfast options. I had a full English breakfast, and it was delicious. The staff provided excellent service, going out of their way to ensure you felt well looked after. I highly recommend The Foley to anyone visiting Claygate and look forward to returning soon!

Visited The Foley a few times in December. Food is good. Service is lacking but not dismal. Atmosphere great. Bathrooms were an awful mess on Christmas Eve. So awful that we opted to wait until we got home. Thankfully down the road. However I had an 82 year old with me and she was desperate so she used the toilet for disabled. It was really, really dirty!

Love the new refurbishment. Great food and service. Big thanks to all the dedicated staff.

Went for a Sunday roast. I ordered half a chicken and was given a chicken breast and a piece of pork belly with no explanation. When queried I was told it was a chicken thigh stuffed! It was a piece of pork. My other guest ordered trout with new potatoes. The fish was raw in the middle. It had to be sent back twice as it came back again raw. The potatoes were hard and black inside. The meal was inedible. My other guest ordered beef and it came “slimey and chewy”. All in all a very disappointing meal. Would not recommend.

Special thanks to Alfonso for making our visit so special. Lovely friendly service from all the staff. Great fun and charming interiors...a really great pub/hotel. Highly recommended.

This was huge disappointment for us, we were so looking forward to our Xmas dinner, but it turned out to be a huge let down. Our starter of scallops were pretty poor my wife had one that was raw. Our mains were not good my turkey & gammon were ok but all of our vegetables were under cooked plus their was no bread sauce, as for the the lemon posset pudding which should of been a set pudding, like a panna cotta, it was runny I could pour it out. Not very happy!!

Having had a drink in the refurbed pub- restaurant a few weeks before on recommendation we and 3 friends booked a late Sunday lunch on 8th December. First we were shown to a high seated diner type table right by the till entrance which was probably the worst table and unecessary as plenty of other tables were free. Luckily when we asked if there were other tables free another staff member took us through to main part of restaurant. Good we thought, attentive friendly young staff got the drinks and took the order. We ordered 2 starters and 4 beef roasts. The starters were ok but the roast beef was so rare and tough we couldn't cut it. We called the woman over who gave us the impression she was in charge. Her first comment was 'its meat, it's meat". Second comment, 'no one else has complained'. So we invited her to cut a piece of the meat - she tried and couldn't, then tried another piece which she just about hacked through. OK she said what do you want to do? We re-ordered - (not the beef). We then waited about 40 minutes for this - roast chicken x 2, quite nice, plus 2 fish dishes. Fish and chips ok, other fish dish the chalk streamed trout overcooked, swimming in oil and under seasoned. The young staff were obliging and helpful as we ordered more drink while we waited for meal two to arrive. As others have said ambience and decour is great. The woman seemingly in charge did come back later and sort of admit the roast was tough (sort of) and do come again. Whole thing was badly handled. We weren't offered a reduction on the bill. I don't think I have every sent food back before. Accepting that meat can be tough sometimes and perhaps we were just unlucky but the whole thing was handled badly. I don't often complain this was a first.

Very enjoyable Christmas Day. Thank you.

Lovely pub, great food selection. Ploughman's was superb. Good range of drinks too and staff were great

Excellent brunch, great service and great value! Nicholas is fabulous and so helpful! Many thanks

We visited this pub not long after a refurbishment. Its a beautiful, cosy pub with warming fire. I had the best pub beef roast I've ever had, the portions are generous for the price and staff welcoming. We visited as a family and we were all very happy with our lunches - the pork was delicious too. Would 100% recommend and looking forward to returning for the roast beef!

It was great to find a lovely pub with great food, beer and service. It's good to find a pub full of people having a good time.

The new interior is nice and better laid out than previously. Food is ok for pub food. Considering 4 of us (3 were under 18 years old) the price was a bit hefty at £100 in total. Admittedly, my oldest did order the steak so I guess this is a sign of the times that pub meals aren't as affordable as before. It was a dependably meal but certainly didn't blow us away and not one I would definitively want to come back for.

The food was just the job for a family birthday celebration and the service was superb. The interior is welcoming and had a good atmosphere.

Had a super meal in the restaurant. Service quality wine and reasonably priced. The food was delicious, very hot and service excellent. Would return in a heartbeat when next in the area.

The refurbishment is fabulous and it all looks smart, fresh and very cosy on a freezing cold & wet afternoon. Food was delicious (Sunday roasts all round) however the Yorkshire puddings were a bit doughy and cold so that was a shame. Also we were not given a wine list with our menus and the server seemed rather irritated that we didn’t know what drinks we wanted. Overall though, we had a wonderful Sunday lunch and will be back for more at the hugely improved Foley!

First time here to eat, busy, but a good atmosphere. We would come here again.

Fabulous Christmas lunch for a group of 17, food was delicious and the staff were great and really friendly and also the organisation beforehand was extremely good.

We had our Team Christmas lunch at the Foley for 17 people. The team were great in assisting with the Pre-order menu which made the process so simple. The food arrived exactly on time and the portions were both delicious and generous to say the least. The staff were attentive, professional and really friendly. The atmosphere is very warm and cosy with log fires and lovely furnishing.

Always superb food and service in the Foley. Recent refurbishment is spectacular.

Have dined here a few times over the past couple of months, and it's been excellent each time. I really hope the focus on recruiting and training delightful staff continues. I've been impressed by their friendly professionalism.

Another fantastic experience at The Foley. Great food (fish and chips, it’s Friday!), great atmosphere and lovely staff. Will come back very soon.

We hired the snug lounge for 40 people for drinks only and it was a real success. Very cosy and we had our own person behind the bar serving us. Will definitely do again

Beautiful, hearty food in a nice cosey setting. Great food and service. Notable mention to Nicholas the waiter. Very attentive, professional and provided some great house specialities which did not disappoint. As a restaurant owner myself; He is a credit to any hospitality business!

Hugely hugely improved!! Last 3 visits have all been fantastic!! As our local pub we’ve eaten here for the last decade and it’s had its ups and downs over that time…. Prior to the recent refurb sadly the quality of the food had really deteriorated and had two or three very poor meals… However the recent refurbishment has not just freshened up the look of the pub (which looks utterly fantastic) that is really freshened up the kitchen too… Visited three times recently and every meal has been delicious. Highly recommend going back to the Foley. And special call out to Nicholas who is always fantastic with the service…

I often work here instead of going to a cafe. During the day the music is good for a background noise without interfering with work phone/video calls, and the staff are really nice, especially to my dog! They're are a few good spots with power sockets too and the staff go out of their way to make the visit work well for me.

We love coming to the Foley now that it has been updated. Had a lovely meal this evening. Alf and Sam served us. Cannot complain as our every need was met. Thank you. ☺️

Lovely family evening, we were so well looked after and the food was great! Thanks so much 😊

The Foley has had a makeover and the interior is beautiful and cosy (we haven't sat outside yet because of the weather). Great atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon, esp with the fires on. We had a roast and couldn't fault it. Lovely portions, hot food and attentive service. The manager (a French lady I think) is always super accommodating and friendly. Thanks!

Booked a table of 6 on a sunday, it was really busy and had a fantastic atmosphere - one of the best sunday roasts i've had - honestly superb food. They could do with more staff , but it was very busy and don't let that put you off - I highly recommend the Foley!

Great Sunday lunch. Fab service, good food, very welcoming and dog friendly! Thank you

Could have said 5 stars but we only had sandwiches and snacks which were very good. Great service from the team

Very busy, lots of diners/drinkers. Noisy (good) but music too loud. Food good. Bar staff disinterested at times, focus on customers.

It's a new Foley:) but I like it. Nice new design, furniture... Looks ok to me. I had one nice cider ...cheers

Was disappointed with the service and quality of the roast dinners. We were left with half finished table clearance, hardly anyone comes to see if we needed anything or desserts, we had to go find someone twice. Roast potatoes tasted rubbery as if been cooked hours ago, greens stringy and chewy, Pork dry. We did have a late booking but still expected fresh food and good service. Refurbishment looks really good so a shame restaurant food and service let it down. As it’s our local, we were dissatisfied.

Great gem of a place, rooms are decorated very well and cosy. Highly recommend eating here, I had the mussels and they were amazing. Oh and they do a decent pint of Guinness too. Breakfast is served like a Michelin restaurant - fantastic. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Our first time to The Foley(Claygate) and I must say it was fantastic. I've read mixed reviews, so wasn't sure what to expect, but thought worth giving it a try. Nicholas our waiter was so friendly, helpful with suggestions and so attentive. Our party of 3 had the Risotto, Chicken supreme with a side of veg (carrots, parsnips and beets) and the cottage pie. All of the food was delicious! I'm so pleased we gave The Foley a try as it will now be one of our favourites. Thanks again to Nicholas!!

Nicholas - service was fantastic and the chicken was amazing too

Firstly the positives: The Foley has recently been refurbished to a high standard and very tastefully done. The team is excellent: helpful, knowledgeable and, when we were there for Sunday lunch, working very hard. The disappointment, I'm afraid, was the food. There were five of us and I had the Hake which was excellent. However, two of my friends had the burger and neither of them liked it. They were not fresh and seemed heated up rather than freshly cooked. Another friend had the beef roast and it did not match Sunday roasts at other pubs. Based on this experience, we won't do Sunday lunch there again. However, we will certainly be back for the great surroundings and the excellent team. And I would happily eat at other times during the week but not on a Sunday.

Lovley refurb, excited to be here often!

Had a great dinner, food was really good and like the new menu. The new refit is great, nice to see so many people there too. New staff, which were attentive. Nice to have our local back up and running.

Food was cold. Ordered a steak; its was freezing cold. The peas for one of dishes we ordered were also ice cold. The mussels tasted sandy. Was very disappointed as I had a Sunday Roast dinner last year at The Foley and it was excellent but dinner on Friday night was not good at all. Not sure if they have changed chefs or what the story is but the food wasn't a good experience. Wont be going to back there for food unfortunately.

What a brilliant experience at the Foley for our first roast meal . The service was faultless. The only slight downside was that the food wasn’t as hot as we would’ve liked. I should’ve sent it back to be reheated. Also it would be a good idea to supply stuffing with your chicken /pork roasts. We will definitely be back!

Wow, wow, wow! What a place. The team are incredible, knowledgeable and friendly! Chef’s new menu is a winner!! Look out for the new items and Sinead couldn’t have been more friendlier if she’d tried! Great experience on my first visit! Thanks team!

Was good, but we were hoping that the new refurb might add a bit more pizazz to the food offering, veggie burger was a bit dry, Prawn Cocktail could have been a bit more modern, exciting. Overall ok, but there is stiff competition locally, so was hoping for something more gastro.

Another amazing waste of time and effort. 1st greeted by a barman who didn't know the difference between a half of lager and lime and the pint which he pulled. Then ordered our meal at the bar so we could pay for it altogether. At no time did anyone asks about allergies. We produced a voucher for a previous bad experience at the pub,which he had no idea how to process. The bill for two roast dinners and apint and half of lager came to £50.35. Overpriced and overrated food and drinks. Food arrived in about 15/20mins warm not hot. Several items as per menu missing. Certain veg not on plate. If I had paid cash for this dining experience, I would have been seriously complaining and asking for a refund. Will not be returning to the Foley Arms ever again.

Great service from Alfie & the team.

Love the renovations; decor looks great! Really noticeable improvements with the food too. Service was very good; Alfie & Sean did a great job.

The Foley is transformed. Much more interesting food; a classy, smarter, more formal feel that distinguishes it from the other pubs in the village; excellent and experienced staff; and - very importantly - an improvement in the acoustics. The Foley has been terrible in the past for being unable to hear people even a couple of feet away but on a first visit now seems better. Keep it up!

Wonderful decor, super service (thanks Alfie!) and lovely food.

Recently refurbished and looking smart.

Incredible pub! The service was lovely and the staff were very friendly and attentive, went to visit as it was recently reopened and the pub has a lovely cozy interiror. The food itself was incredible and the roast was one of best I've had!

The new refurb is classy, nicely lit, great atmosphere. Food was delicious especially espresso pancetta dessert could have had 2 great staff really attentive, especially Alfie our server, so professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back 👌🏽

Grand looking Young's hotel/pub with lovely staff. The place was undergoing some building work when we were there so limited access/views at times. There is a lovely beer garden outside and inside provides very comfortable seating. The staff were lovely and friendly. The Guinness was excellent as was the Young's Special.

I want to give a really big shout out to Nicholas. I’m over from the US visiting my mum who lives across the road and the Foley is my escape!! After going in for a drink and not really knowing what to order, Nicholas suggested a drink and promised that I would love it. He made me the most delicious drink that I’ve ever had from the Foley, so much so that over the next couple of days I probably had six or seven of them!!! People rave about customer service in America, but I can say Nicolas was up there with the best service I’ve ever received either in the UK or US What a great asset he is to the pub and he knows how to make a killer drink as well. If you’re ever at the Foley and don’t know what to have to drink, ask Nicholas, he won’t disappoint, I promise 🍸🍹

I recently had another fantastic stay at The Foley and it was outstanding from start to finish. I was warmly greeted by Richard when checking in who was very polite, helpful and friendly. My room was spotlessly clean and spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I had breakfast whilst there, which was delicious, and the young lady who served me could not have been more helpful. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I highly recommend The Foley to anyone looking to stay in Claygate. Thank you for making my stay comfortable and enjoyable, I will be back!

Delicious roast dinner with plenty of roasted fresh vegetables as well as them allowing me to swap my meat for cauliflower cheese. Staff are particularly nice and helpful too.

Well looked after at the foley.. had a late lunch (8 of us) and the service was superb,, we had a lovely fella called sean serving us from behind the bar and kept our glasses full .. turned out it was his birthday the next day .. food was excellent , all 8 of us had lovely food without without ANY complaints.. Sean put all the drinks and food on the hotel room without any problems.. rooms were very generous in size all all 4 parties said what fantastic rooms they had and ridiculously reasonably priced.. would I go again ?? 100%

Had dinner and stayed the night. Huge positives on the rooms, they were excellent, comfortable, quiet and great value. Bizarre online check in process which meant I ended up with 6 rooms instead of 3 sorted out on arrival. Strangely the restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday, a little expensive for a Pub but quality food. Staff were all very good although I think the first waitress must have been new as didn't know the draft beers available and needed a little help with the menu from the kitchen. Would stay again for definite.

A comfortable pub with a nice beer garden. We went for a late Sunday lunch with family and it was tasty food and reasonable value. What made the experience was the waiting staff, nothing was too much trouble. The only request would be cushions for the seats in the garden!

ROOMS - amazing, really good value for money and the breakfast was lovely, good coffee and an excellent selection. What was a huge disappointment was the lunch, badly executed food which really wasn't balanced in flavours. FISH GOUJONS - overspiced and soggy. VEGGIE SHARING PLATTER - just depressing tbh. WEDGE SALAD WITH CHICKEN - the chicken looked anemic... skin was white and rubbery, not pleasant to look at (or eat I would guess) so it was removed, flavour overall was too charred so when finished just left a burnt taste in the mouth for the next few hours. Really could do better with this as the hotel/bar/staff are lovely.

Quick late drink. Good laugh with bar staff.

Food was great, a excellent job from kitchen. Unfortunately the organisation of staff also signs for bar or restaurant very poor. Booked a table outside due to weather then informed bar service only? Drinks also food orders very slow service considering no. Of attendees at establishment. Food 9/10 Staff and service miserable Unfortunately

We just stayed a week at The Foley. It could not have been better. Our room was spacious and quiet. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was top notch. Excellent fish & chips. Thank you Nick. We hosted former neighbors for a cocktail hour. Great apps and service. Thank you Sean. We will definitely return! THANKS!

We re back in England visiting old neighbors and friends this week. We decided to stay at The Foley, a local pub we frequented when we lived here. The rooms are terrific; better than some 4-5 star hotels we have stayed at. Last night we had a friend join us for dinner in the pub. We had the Fish & Chips and beef burger. Both were outstanding but the Fish & Chips were exceptional, probably some of the best we have ever had. Hats off to Chef Nicholas! Keep up the good work! We love this place!

Good selection of beers, just a shame the coffee machine is turned off at 10pm just as coffee instead of alcohol preferred for the drive home - instead very expensive sparkling water.

The best steak I have ever had, though rare, medium rare and well done all came out the same. It worked for me though.

So impressed. Ate here in the evening. Excellent food and service and beautiful bedroom. Impeccable and nicely decorated. Many thanks.

A warm welcome and delicious beverage enjoyed sitting on their beautiful decking. Also received a friendly goodbye, great service.

Quick service - friendly staff. Food excellent. Nice atmosphere

Yesterday we invited friends to have dinner in the Foley. What an embarrassing experience it was! We sat down, ordered some wine and read the menu. The waitress came back and said that she wasn't sure the wine was available and went to check. The wine came but without glasses so we had to ask for wine glasses. The menu itself was limited but we were all happy to stay. We ordered the Ploughman's sharing platter to start but the waitress wasn't sure it was available and went to ask the chef. She came back to say they didn't have it but we could have a vegetable platter instead. That didn't sound interesting to any of us so we decided to skip the starters and just have main courses. Two people ordered fish and chips but the waitress again wasn't sure if they had it so off she went to check with the chef. She came back to say they didn't have fish and chips. Our guests looked at us confused. We were embarrassed having told them that the Foley was a nice pub. There was no real apology, no manager to deal with the situation etc. At no stage were we told which items were unavailable on the menu - the waiting staff didn't know, and needed to check with the chef for each individual dish. Needless to say, we got up and left. We went to the Hare and Hounds and had a nice meal. We live locally but we will not return to the Foley.  With two other nice pubs in Claygate, the Foley cannot compete. What a shame.

The Foley has always been one of our go to lunch haunts in Claygate.... they do a great burger although I swap the fries for the triple cooked chips. Hoping they bring back the Eton Mess for summer its very sweet but one of the best!! Edited in 12/04/24 To say we were disappointed is putting it mildly. My friend and I had been talking about gammon steaks recently as my last visit to another pub that had gammon on the menu was a disaster, it was gammon ham not gammon. My friend sent me a photo of The Foley's new menu and on it was gammon steak. We rocked up today and both had the gammon. We both left most of it, my friend gave it a better go than I did. I honestly don't think I've had gammon that tough before, I'm still picking bits out of my teeth. The only reason we gave it the bashing we did was the salsa that came with it, that was delicious and the chips were good too... dipped in salsa were excellent. After giving up on the gammon, we attacked the dessert menu and settled on the creme brulee. This was beautiful, be careful with the little ginger biscuits because even saying I can hold my ginger, it's never too strong, lord they packed a punch ... wow, did they! The creme brulee was beautifully thick and creamy ... maybe a little more brulee with a better snap but that's a personal preference. The rhubarb and custard and the side was delicious, the rhubarb being bothy punchy and sweet. Yes the dessert was definitely the crown on today's lunch 😋

Very poor pub dinner on a Wednesday evening with my wife and daughter. Overcooked, overpriced, no one asks us about our experience, no one cares when I complain. Being told that “no one else complains” simply adds insult, like it’s just me being fussy. I’ve tried contacting Youngs head office in the past, but never got a reply, despite acknowledging receipt of my communication. Having been a local for 27 years I really wonder why I bother!

Just had a quick pint, no food. Nice enough.

OK other than one dish ... Lamb belly small dish - if anyone working in the kitchen tasted this, presumably bought in, product it would be off the menu immediately!

Have not been here for 20 odd years. Popped in for a beer and some food with a friend whom lives local. Food was brilliant! I had chicken, leak pie with green veg, chips and gravy. That pie was loaded without room for breath with shredded chicken. Honestly it’s just how a pie should be. Absolute hi five the chef. Can’t forget the bar staff who was awesome and helped me navigate changes to my plate. Cheers ladies and gents
