The Goose & Gander in Bolton

Called in for lunch with my son who is a profession chef, I'm always nervous taking him out for something to eat for obvious reasons! The venue serves food in both the bar and a much nicer restaurant area which a lovely young lady seated us in. I ordered the cheese pie with homemade baked beans and my son had the seabass which he said was excellent, phew! I was equally happy with my meal, everything was really well cooked and the service was spot on, bill very reasonable. The only issue I had was dogs being allowed into an area where food is served although to be fair it was unclear if this is just the bar or the whole venue. Excellent experience and highly recommended if you dont mind sharing your eating space with dogs.

Such a lovely place, brilliant staff, drink selection and good food menu. Only one criticism is that my wife and I ordered the roast beef Sunday dinner which came with the topside of beef with charcoal stripes, which then the taste of the beef was compromised so did not compliment the great vegetables, roast potatoes,Yorkshire pudding and gravey. I asked why and was told that the oven was full and it was a quick way to heat the beef, to which I can't believe that any chef would even consider to do to such a nice cut of beef as then all you taste is the charcoal steak like flavour. Thank you for the 25% discount bit please if this is your go to quick method then please check with the customer It is still a good popular restaurant and we will return but make it clear to not grill my roast beef.

Super lunch out with friends, not been to the G&G for a while, the roast beef sandwich was delicious and then 'pow' the Chocolate Fondant was amazing!

Took my wife, Mum and son for an early Mother’s Day meal. Food was absolutely fantastic! I had the black pudding and fillet steak, wife had the halloumi and Caesar salad, mum had the black pudding and chicken supreme Little one had the sausages? Only criticism was the service was a little slow when after extra drinks. But we got them and the team serving us was very polite and professional. It was busy and we were in the bar side. Will definitely return and highly recommend

Came for a meal last weekend and it was fantastic, the quality of the food was great. Definitely worth every penny. Would definitely recommend coming.

Excellent all round. Sunday lunch delicious & served by lovely pleasant staff. Compliments to the chef as well. Our first lunch here & certainly will be back soon! Happily recommend to all.

Beautifully cooked and presented food ( I had the duck breast) However, there was a disappointing lack of vegetables, which felt rather stingy. A more generous portion of fresh veg would improve the meal.

This place is an absolute jewel. Tucked away in Little Scotland in Blackrod is one of the finest dining experiences I've ever had. The is nothing more inviting than a bustling restaurant and this place was packed. We found out why. The attentive staff were superb, as was the menu. My Mrs is a veggie and she was delighted with the choice and her meal. Fortunately she has the appetite of a sparrow so I got to finish it off. The mushroom risotto is amazing. All 3 courses were delightfully presented and very much enjoyed. I cannot praise the Goose and Gander enough. Even the drinks were a cut above normal pub standards. I'll be back.

Visited for Sunday lunch and had a roast chicken dinner which was lovely. Service was good and it is certainly popular so recommend booking ahead. Best Yorkshire pudding I’ve had in a long time! Will definitely visit again!

Went for lunch with the family for the first time in six years. Only three miles from home and will certainly visit again shortly. We all enjoyed from the nibbles of scampi,squid, black pudding. For main I had superb roast beef with Yorkshire,roast potatoes and about five veg. It was fantastic. My wife thought her gammon was the best she had tasted in a while as did our son in law with his burger. Reasonable prices and dog friendly which was a bonus

Had another, Wonderful Christmas Dinner. Food cooked to exceptionally high standard, if I hadn't had been full, I could have Eaten it again... Staff and Service 5star Thank you again Goose and Gander

Great Christmas dinner. There were 8 of us and the food was lovely, service was great & a reasonable price.

Having booked a table for two persons for an early dinner in the restaurant, our experience was not good. We were shown to a table and were the only couple in the restaurant. The bar side of the pub was full and very noisy with adults and children. Once we sat at our table, we were completely ignored to the point where we had to go in search of a staff member to take a drink order from us. The young girl who attempted to take our order was confused when we asked for a New Zealand white wine. As she did not know what type of wine this was, she dissapeard to ask someone else. When she finally reappeared, we asked to order some food for the second time, and then she disappeared. We were just exiting the pub to go elsewhere. So we can not comment on the food only to agree with another reviewer who also thought the staff were very poor. Shame, really, and I felt sorry for the young girl serving, but she should not be put in the position to serve customers without having a basic knowledge of food and wine.

The food was exceptional for lunch. The Cheese and onion soup was delicious. They offered a lovely lunch menu if your watching the pennies. The young girl who served us was the same girl last few visits, she is always so happy and cheerful! If we had one issue is it was freezing in the dining room at 12pm! we had to keep our coats on. Obviously they had just opened but maybe put the heating on around 10am :-) We will be back.

The food and service was exceptional, best sunday roast iv had in a long time. First time we have eaten here and we will definitely be back.

Visited here bank holiday Sunday weekend. Been here a few times before covid. The food is always amazing and the service exceptional. The roast dinner is now definitely my fave roast - the beef was cooked perfectly. I would prefer more of a wine list but the wines I did have were nice and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back !!

Came with friends to the outside space for a meal after lock down was eased. Great outside space with heaters. Food continues to be outstanding. Rebecca our server was wonderful.

ordered a family meal from here yesterday. Unable to provide the dishes we ordered Items missing too

Class food and class service! Rebecca was 5* I will come again just because Rebecca was such a legend!

The atmosphere in the bar and restaurant was really nice. The tables were socially distanced, service was good as was the food we had.

Not many restaurants have space on a saturday afternoon but we tried this one, living within 3 miles of it but never having tried it despite passing it regularly.Very attentive staff, good secure surroundings and the food was excellent, smoked mackerel pate, liver pate and haddock and chips for mains, all great, beautifully presented and the price including drinks were extremely reasonable. No space for desserts but a good choice. Will be back hopefully soon!!

So glad The Goose and Gander is back in business. We have missed it so much. Starters: Black pudding with a poached hens egg, absolutely delicious; succulent scallops (I’m so glad my partner persuaded me). Main courses: Fillet steak, with peppercorn sauce - cooked to perfection; roast lamb of the day, which was melt in the mouth.Of all the restaurants we have patronised, this steadfastly adheres to all regulations, which is comforting.WOW!THANK YOU

Many visits to this really great Pub,but certainly not pub grub here,fantastic food good service from lovely young pleasant staff ,who asked Chef to make my favourite chicken dish with the mushroom sauce celeriac mousse,dauphinois potatoes and greens .I was thrilled he made it for me ,and it was not on the menu that day. We can recommend here ,it’s special, and never have we had a bad experience,we also love the nibbles, and just think it is a lovely place to visit . The Walk Inns.

I've read through some of the reviews about this eaterie and there are some whingers. This is my 3rd time at Goose and Gander in less than five weeks. Love it. The food is A1,the service is A1 and its a lovely place to eat in. The staff are lovely and the girls who waited on us were made up when complimented. Thats I what I look for when I go out for a meal. If staff are not bothered, the food isn't up to scatch i don't go back. Highly recommend the Goose and Gander. If you don't want freshly cooked top notch food stick to Wetherspoons rubbish.

Managed to get a table as this place was always booked up. Eaten here a few times and we love it here.Monday night eat out help outWe both had the Gammon main course. The actual portion of Gammon was decent and well cooked. Plenty of chips and peas. It's a fillinģ dish, The tables are spread out well.The staff are great as always and looking after youWe will eat here again

Fabulous lunch today with my daughter the food was excellant.The sun was shining,brilliant.Thank you.

Very nice food but appear to be paying minimal attention to Govt guidelines. Staff not in visors / face coverings, came very close when serving and made little attempt to distance between themselves. More annoyingly where several groups from mixed households eating inside.

Not been here for some time but has since been taken over. Its in a lovely location and you can sit outside on a nice day. A very extensive menu, including vegetarian and vegan options. The food was freshly cooked and very enjoyable. The staff were friendly and very efficient. The pub itself is very spacious and decorated in a lovely style. Definitely will visit again. Highly recommend.

Excellent restaurant. Lovely views over the hills, great food and a warm welcome. On one side is the pub and the other is the restaurant. Country charm. I had duck followed by sticky toffee pudding cooked to perfection.

Went for Sunday lunch at 3:30, was not busy as was only two other tables in the restaurant. Staff was lovely but food took 45 minutes to come. Lovely food but small portions when paying £23 for a main course and £7/8 for a dessert. But the food tasted lovely and was socially distanced

First time today I've ever been and the food and location was lovely. Really nice snug restaurant. Will definitely be visiting again. The staff were really nice and made us feel like we was at home.

Third visit here. Food delicious again; 3 out of the 4 of us had the roast lamb dinner. All asked for extra gravy - it was only when the bill came we realised they had charged £1 each for a tiny amount of gravy. Paying £17 for the main course and being charged an extra £1 for gravy is outrageous.In addition we ordered an addition cheese cauliflower and broccoli - priced at £2.50 we all thought there would be a spoonful for everyone. When it arrived there was one small floret of broccoli and on small floret of cauliflower in a small ramekin. Barely enough for one person let alone 4.The outrageous costs spoil this otherwise lovely place.

We turned up at the restaurant at our reservation time. It took 25 minutes for menus to be given to us, not even a drinks order taken. After a further 10 minutes of waiting someone came to take our order. It's poor considering they could see we had small children with us. Once we ordered the food & drinks, things actually got better. Food was delicious, very very tasty and the drinks too, compliments to the Chef and his team. It's just unfortunate that there seems little organisation in terms of waiting staff. The gent who initially welcomes guests, seemed unhappy, rude and not welcoming at all. He stood about whilst other staff were trying their best to do a mixture of jobs - not really a team effort. We were seated a very nosy bar area whilst the restaurant (where we have dined before) was empty - I was unsure as to why we had been placed in this area as it remained empty throughout the time we were there. We had pre-booked online a week in advance, so was really surprised to be in this area. This was supposed to be a special meal for my Mum. Such a shame it's gone downhill in respect of service - the food is brilliant however.

Been here twice now for food. Lovely restaurant, nicely decorated and friendly staff. Was a little disappointed with my recent meal though. Rack of lamb at £17. Although delicious and cooked to perfection I was disappointed to only get two small pieces of lamb for the price. This was mentioned when paying the bill and they said comments will be passed to the chef but that was it. Oh well, maybe better luck next time. My husband really enjoyed his steak. Overall, lovely food and place but could give better value for the price.

Visited for my birthday ,was very disappointed ,,waited a hour after order took and not many in ,just kept asking for we want drinks ,,,we came in for good not drinks.When the meal came I was so disappointed chicken in middle of place on mash then tiny piped pureed colours ,orange,cream,green.these were my carrots,cauli,kale.I was so hungry after main I ordered a dessert.It was same ,I ordered Eton mess.piped tiny meringue,popped couli,and blog of cream.for £7 I think they should serve you more.Didn't get any free drink or mint after meal.All in all,food adverage,portion size outrageous,waiting time disgusting,Won't be visiting again.

I recently visited the restaurant for the 1st time for a family celebration. I found the hosting skills of the staff and waiters to be polite and welcoming and the restaurant has a lovely country feel and atmosphere. The food is absolutely fantastic. There is a great selection to choose from and the quality of the produce is excellent. Portion size on the side orders (chips etc) could be more generous though. However - the waiting time we had to endure between each course was borderline unacceptable. In particular the wait between the main and desert was over half an hour. This was a real pity as the food really was good and the meal we did have was extremely enjoyable and the beer was also excellent.

Regular customers. Love this place. Visited tonight for Sunday Dinner, delicious fresh cooked food, only disappointment not enough Gravy and when you ask for extra it comes in a small pan and your charged for it, feel this is a way of making extra money out of customers, the portion sizes appeared to have shrunk in the past few months. Great service though, lovely friendly staff and value for the money.

I have been a loyal customer for many years, as the food at the Goose and Gander really is the best in the area. The service has always been spot on up until very recently. We attended in December as part of a Scuba Club Christmas meal and it was a shambles... waiting an hour between each course. This was after some confusion with staff over the booking time... the booking time was made months in advance as we were a table of approx 20. However in the run up, Goose and Gander said they had lost the reservation and wanted to seat us at lunch time but this wasn’t acceptable to us. They did eventually seat us at the time we had reserved. Then, I booked my anniversary meal for myself and my husband. I had booked online only to receive a phone call the day before saying they had yet another problem with their system and they couldn’t and wouldn’t accommodate us. This then left us with a manic search to find somewhere else... which we couldn’t get in any of the places that we wanted due to the late notice.They should really get a grip of this and they could be amazing... as their food is spot on. The young, male waiter whose name I forget, is also an amazing asset too. He’s professional, courteous and on the ball when it comes to refills. It really just boils down to a management issue ensuring that things run smoothly.

I came here on Tuesday with my 15 month old baby to meet some friends for lunch because they wanted to try somewhere new they had never been. (I came 18 months ago with my wife & her friends). Needless to say the experience was just as good if not better this time! We all had a starter from the specials menu & a main from the ordinary menu. The food was fresh, tasty, hot and very well presented.The facilities were very clean.The staff were very accommodating as I had the baby with me and they even changed the channel on the TV onto kiddies TV when she was becoming a bit cranky! Thanks everyone we'll definitely be back!

4 of us out for a meal, bar was under staffed required 2 people not one.Table in a booth,staff members seamed to be not with it.Ordered our food and was served from one point staff didn't move around the table to serve each person individually.Food was good all the way through, had to ask for drinks twice as the shift manager forgot to place our order.The sweet was eaten mess we all ordered and it was the poorest excuse for one we have ever seen, weight watchers would be proud, four pieces of meringue smaller than a 50p, avoid that one.Bill £120 with drinks not bad.Been there before would I go again probably but improvement is required in the service .

Had been told off friends how good this place is. So rang up booked a table and said on the call it was our first time here and recommended, the lady on the phone said great.

Been here twice now , the food and service is fantastic . We eat out quite a lot and this is by far the best place we've been to in a long time . The food is second to none . Getting served dishes that look like this on a Thursday afternoon !

What a great place, really nice atmosphere, food very nice, maybe not the cheapest but so tasty, presentation and flavours spot on, we shared the fish cake starter and then I had the leg of lamb and Dee had the gammon, she finished with something akin to lemon tart. Again the desert presentation was excellent. If I had any slight criticism it would be the quality check only happened once as we were finishing our mains but that is the only small thing if note. The staff were lovely (lots of smiles) as was the gentleman who was in charge (Portugese/Spanish) very warm and friendly. I can highly recomend this establishment and, we are going to book again for this coming Sunday as the menu was quite interesting and varied so we are going to try something else. Give it a go, we travelled 35 minutes and in really poor weather, it was worth it. John and Dee

We booked our Christmas Day meal here as a family 14 of us in total, what a shambolic experience waited 2 hours to be seated, tables weren't set, had to ask for each course as nobody appeared to be in control,we gave up at the end and didn't even bother to ask for our mince pies, they didn't even have enough plates, some of us had to eat from bowls, we have wrote a letter of complaint with no acceptable result, it is now February so I have decided to write this review having given ample time for the management to rectify the situation. It seems that they have collected their money and really dont care about customer experience, disgraceful

Lunch with a friend for 12:30. Easy parking. Very clean and inviting. Lovely restaurant area. Attentive and speedy service from very pleasant staff. Absolutely splendid meal. The fish was very tasty. Delightful afternoon

Just had lunch here,we both had the smoked haddock off the specials menu,served on a bed of chive mash with kale,mustard sauce,pea puree and a poached hens egg,absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly,we didn't have long to wait,we ate in the bar area which is warm and cosy

Having heard good reports about this restaurant I decided to take my sister for her birthday, greeted by very friendly staff, asked were we would like to eat we decided on the restaurant area. The staff were very helpful. The food was excellent very well presented and very tasty. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit

Didn't look at the reviews before we went but glad we didn't. Can never understand other people's taste but you pays your money and takes your choice. All our group of 7 had different things for every course and there were no complaints what so ever. We passed this information on to others who said they would give it a try. Go on, have a gander.

We booked early online for NYE, the set menu looked deliscous and we could have ordered two or three things from each course if honest.

Table booked for 3pm. On arrival, was told table would be 5 minutes and to wait in bar.

Visited here for the first time on Tuesday 21st January but it certainly won’t be the last. All three courses beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. The portion sizes were just right for us. No complaints at all. Great food and we will definitely be back. Friendly staff too.

We came to this restaurant for the first time on Sunday sourcing it on TripAdvisor..

We will be returning to The Goode and Gander. All our meals were excellent and the way presented takes this restaurant above all in the area.

Our food was excellent, good selection and well served.

I would like to put into writing my disappointing complaint regarding the service and quality of food, that I experienced with my family on Christmas Day at the Goose and Gander.

Had a lovely evening. The food was beautiful couldn't fault any of the courses. The staff very friendly and attentive. Thank you. Shirley and Alan

Disappointed with our visit, and it showed that the slow service issues we have previously experienced were systemic not ‘one offs’

We went for Christmas Eve lunch and chose from the ‘Festive Menu’. The portion sizes for the main courses are small. My husband has hot roast beef sandwich which came with a tiny portion of chips. The main I chose was smaller though; I ordered Traditional Fish Pie which was supposed to be smoked haddock, cod, egg with a mash topping. Usually when I’ve ordered fish pie anywhere else, it’s been a decent size in a gratin dish. The one I was served was very small - a ramekin size. It was basically about 6cm tall, 5cm of it was mash. Underneath the mash it was a couple of pieces of egg and a few flakes of salmon. It came with a tablespoon of peas and a cherry tomato randomly placed on top. It was ‘OK’ but sadly not great. It’s a nice restaurant with friendly staff but I don’t think we would be rushing back.

Visited here last week for my sister’s birthday lunch, as a party of 6 plus two children. We ate in the bar area which is decorated so beautifully decorated, and felt so festive with the fire on and the Christmas music playing.

A complete makeover with new management, we ate at lunchtime after booking on-Lind. The restaurant and pub area was quite busy fir mid week. We enjoyed a lovely meal with frirndly service. The food in the restaurant was lovely and the chef is serving up market food with a varied menu. Definitely worth a visit,

Lovely country pub. Ample spacing outside for cars. Inside a roaring fire, lovely range of drinks. Food superb! Roast dinner was lovely. Staff fantastic. We had a little dog with us who was well looked after too. Book to avoid disappointment as it was busy.

We have passed this place and thought we would try it as it is very attractive ,as Sundays are busy everywhere we booked in advance but had to wait 15 mins for our table in the bar area ,we where then seated and waited another 20 mins for our food, luckiky we were enjoying sitting chatting.

I have been going to this pub for 60years, we went for a drink and couldn't find anywhere to sit because all the tables (bar) were taken up with people eating, they are in the bar because most have dogs, this particular night, there were 5 dogs in, 1 a very large alsation, and when 3 people came in WITH A DOG the alsation went for it, I am scared of dogs, so we left, what will happen is more and more will come with dogs,

We came here on a Sunday evening, without booking, on a whim after a day out at Rivington Pike. The staff were brilliant and very friendly and accommodating and managed to squeeze us in (family of three) in the very busy restaurant.

Visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago with my best friend for a belated birthday meal. The staff on the bar were attentive and friendly, making sure we always had drinks. We enjoyed three courses and each dish was delicious, especially the days special, cheese soufflé and my pudding, toffee apple cheesecake! The log burner was roaring and was made the bar feel very cosy and welcoming. I would definitely recommend to anyone and will be returning soon!

Just home from a lovely birthday meal here and had to leave a review. We sat in the bar area by the roaring fire, so cosy. Food was delicious and well presented. Service very friendly!

We came last night 17/11/19 for my mums birthday. I just wanted to say that the food was fantastic however the service was horrendous. Time waiting for drinks and drinks orders wrong. Also really slow with the food over 39 mins for desert.

We are big fans of this place and really enjoy the food.

My partner moved to Bolton 3yrs ago and and have tried various restaurants in the area all have been OK but the Goose & Gander far exceeded our expectations.

I never leave bad reviews but i feel that they need to really look at there staff.We arrived and was seated next to a childrens table were there parents were sat on another table with there backs towards there children and the children were just acting wild.Pouring beans in a glass and feet on the chairs and just left to there own divises.Understandably your not in control of this situation but you were in control of sitting us next to them all when there was lots of other empty seats.We then ordered a pint and half.The waiter brought over half and my husbands pint never arrived.We left our seats and sat in the bar because the noise was so loud.I then went up to the waiter and told him i would pay for my half and leave because i had drank my drink and my husband was still sat there with no drink half an hour later.I payed for my drink and as we waited for our taxi i witnessed the waiter telling the waitress we were leaving and he shrugged his shoulders.The waitress came over and offered me £2 pounds back.I explained i had witnessed the waiter shrugging his shoulders and she said i know i will have wordes with him.She did kindly offered us a free drink in the bar but we declined as i was to annoyed.Never again would i return to the Goose and Gander or recommend it to family or frends.

We have been here numerous times since it originally changed from Suzanna’s and we have never once had a bad comment to say about The Goose and Gander excellent on every visit, great choice of drinks friendly waiter service just cannot fault. We have also been to the occasional monthly wine pairing night and the food has been even better on these nights which I didn’t think possible, The Cherry Tree is also a favourite of ours and the G&G; is on par, we look forward to the next visit.

An amazing experience from start to finish. The service was good, and staff are very attentive. The food is just incredible: wood pigeon cooked to perfection, fillet steak, which was cooked perfectly, and chicken supreme, that was so moist and tasty. Wow

Firstly I am not in the habit of leaving negative reviews but I truly believe on this occasion we were let down by poor service which is a shame as the food was lovely.

The food was outstanding it was my first time there last night and qont be my last ill tell you staff friendly and very helpfull best place ive been in a long time

Had a fantastic lunch at G&G.; Great decor, good service, staff were attentive and professional. Loved the playlist in the restaurant, little touches like that make a difference. Overall a great experience, highly recommended.

We both started with the terrine of rare breed ham hock, with a soft boiled quails egg, toasted sourdough and piccalilli. They were stunning, so tasty. We then chose roasted chicken, mashed potato, celeriac puree, baby gem lettuce and a wild mushroom sauce, which (the chicken) was so succulent, whilst all the additions suited the dish perfectly. What a perfect mid-week treat.

Beautiful place and lovely home cooked food and nice staff. I'll be returning again. Highly recommended.

Greeted by a lovely young man who showed us to our table and took our drinks order. We were spoilt for choice with the menus. Main menu, specials menu and 2 courses for £ or 3 courses for £. We ordered off the main menu. I had ham hock terrine to start and husband had fleetwood shrimp. Both delicious. We both had chicken for main. Chicken supreme and chicken ballotine. Both amazing. Veg was cooked to perfection. Green veg was green not overcooked and grey. Perfect dishes. Very impressed. Service was good and staff friendly. Will definitely return. Thanks for a great meal and experience

Went on a Saturday evening for a Birthday celebration based on the recent reviews. Unfortunately it didn't live up to expectation. The food was pretty much all OK, thou quite high end price wise, but the worst thing was the service. From beginning to end we had to ask for everything, for our first drinks, to place our food order, to order more drinks, to clear plates etc, etc. Many staff stood around by the kitchen looking like they were waiting for instructions and others walking past apparently unaware of what stage peoples meals were at. Such a shame.

Called in with my grandkids for a spot of lunch with the grandkids about 12-30 and the place was empty but decided to stay , the food took 35 mins to come even though we were the only people in there and when it finally arrived I had to send it back as it was cold so must have been warmed up, won’t be returning in a rush

Loved this place, the food was excellent. Service was also very good. Shrimp start was divine and excellent combination with the horseradish. Both the duck liver pate and ham hock terrine off the set menu were good. For mains, the grilled chicken was cooked to perfection and the chips were fab. Again the set menu dishes of chicken and fish pie were very good.

Great food and service ,good range of cask beers and good wine selection . Standard menu and good range of specials.

We have been regular visitors for several years and had begun to notice signs of decline late 2018 in terms of waiting staff, slow service, etc..

Visited for lunch and was extremely impressed by this country restaurant. The interior was modern and clean utilising a number of circular tables which are ideal for conversation. Although I only had a hot beef sandwich it was plentiful and very tasty. The bread was as light as a feather. My husband had a lamb dish and said it was one of the best lamb he’d had. There is a bar area and outside seating area. A re-visit is on the cards to sample the wider menu which includes a 3-course set price option.

We came this time with our good friends from Blackburn who had never been before. Staff very friendly food excellent. Makes a pleasant change to have table in a restraunt were you are not on top of each other. I like to have a bit of banter with the staff and this then went both ways. Even felt the need to see the manager to compliment him on his team and the food. Will defiantly be back.

We had a family meal I have no problem with the food it was delicious but the service was too slow to say the least I. Please please improve your service

No one seems to know what their doing. It’s overpriced for what you get, very inconsistent and unprofessional staff. Will not be returning here again & would advise people not to bother!

Good atmosphere pub quite full ,food was good but not special drinks are ridiculously expensive service was poor as we ate in pub section ,staff seemed more interested in this section only got what you asked for ,had to ask for salt n pepper and that's all we got will not go again very poor

We've been several times now and have had a great experience every time. The tables are spread far enough apart that you don't feel like you're sat on someone's knee on the next table over. The booth seating is private and pleasant. The background music is always just right. The staff are always attentive and alert, taking away empty glasses, answering questions, asking for any more drinks etc.. Very well trained and all seemed to enjoy their jobs! The service during our Saturday night visit was faultless. The food is always impressive. We love the variety on the menu and the excellent quality. One of those restaurants where you MUST save room for a dessert! Looking forward to returning.

Had a friends catch up meal last night Tuesday 6th August. Restaurant nice and clean, very friendly staff. We had the weekly menu 2 course for £14.95. I had the duck pate which was very tasty, lovely and smooth and good size portion. Then I had the Roast Pork which was very tender and tasty the vegetables and potatoes was very tasty.

Family get together so eight of us sat down the food was absolutely delicious and such a varied menu , the service was excellent , waitress attentive but not intrusive, was well worth the visit ,will certainly be calling again .

Impromptu lunch here. Lovely place with very friendly and attentive staff. We didn’t have the a la carte as it was a quick lunch.

Invited here for a family birthday lunch earlier today, and not being familiar with the area expected just another pub with the standard food. I couldn't have been more wrong - this place is a cut above the rest. The waiter made a fantastic first impression, with friendly but genuine introduction and order taking for 8, read back without any errors. Service was attentive without being at all disruptive. Food - superbly presented. This is not your average pub food - really well prepared, fresh ingredients, and some thought has gone into the menu too. Little details - waiter very aware that we had a 2-year-old in the party, ensuring nothing sharp or hot was placed in reach - were noted. All in all a very pleasant lunch with great service.

Service awas spot on. Food was absolutely incredible. Cant wait to come back. Will recommend to anyone

Wonderful food amazing staff nothing is to much trouble. Went for lunch with to celebrate a friends 70th birthday. We will definitely be returning.

Wow how I have I never visited here before! Visited with friends on a Friday evening! Service was impressive very attentive staff making amazing cocktails!! The food was amazing and well priced for the quality! Can not wait to visit again!!

Visited Saturday afternoon for birthday and be- lated Father’s Day lunch. The service was excellent, very attentive. Fabulous food excellently cooked and presented. Cannot wait to go back and sample other items on the menu.

The food here is INCREDIBLE and also a second choice for me if the Cherry Tree is fully booked.

I’ve been here a few times only because it’s local to friends... it’s not a place I would make the effort to visit when you have the cherry tree just down the road, (which is outstanding!)

A colleague at work notified the missus to this place and having located it on here and read the reviews we thought we’d give it a whirl.
