Just went for a meal. Great friendly and efficient staff, Average food. Average portions but a clean and well presented dining area. Good carpark and a large bit unfenced garden. The outside seating area looked good.

I eat roast of the day, Sunday beef roast. It was extremely disappointing. I wish I'd returned and got my money back. Beef was tough, the Yorkshire was soaking in gravy. The roast spuds were full of grease and soaked in gravy and the whole meal was cold. I'll not return for the Sunday roast. Id like to mention this was early lunch, about 12:45 and the food tasted like it'd been warmed up from night before. 😞😞😞

absolutely adore this little venue! 🌷 every member of staff was a delight to maintain interaction with & very quick paced regarding food delivery time; decor was beautifully designed especially their menu & the variety of drink/food is very well crafted. pricing wise, it's phenomenal for one share starter, two mains & three drinks for 60 pounds is such great value, i always tip also 🍴 i must say the garden area is wonderfully modelled ( i do enjoy fairy lights with a sip of wine ) ✨️

Quick service at the bar, and the waitress service is excellent the food is well cooked with a few gluten free options. Ample parking and also a large separate function room for private events . One way it could be improved by having a couple of real ales on draught. A very good pub....

used to enjoy eating at the Great Northern but at my recent visit I was shocked at how conveyor belt the food had become. Overall an average at best meal below quality for money standard. My burger was tiny, my partners quiche had been microwaved not baked. So very disappointed after so many previous fabulous meals. What had happened? Complaincy due to popularity? No better than a chain like say chef and brewer.

Always best to book a table as it does get busy at times. Food is better than average pub food. Service is friendly, polite and prompt. A mix of modern and brick and wood old style decor. Wheelchair ♿️ user friendly. I can't rate the rooms as we didn't stay over.

Lovely food marred by the rude and petulant behaviour of one of the staff - a scowling bearded guy who literally threw both the mains and deserts on the table. He was like a hormonal teenager who had just been told he was grounded for a week. This utterly charmless individual was also rude to my mother in law when she was paying the bill. We have been a few times, but are reluctant to return if this is the service on offer.

Been here many times over the years for a drink but visited last week ..first time for a meal with friends and it was realy nice . We had a range of meals from meaty mixed grills to vegitarian Halloumi curry. Both well presented and relay well made. Staff very friendly and happy to help without being too intrusive. Great night Nice place to call for a drink inside or out ... weather permitting! Great selection of beers and wines. Did not seem to expensive either...

Often have lunch at this pub but recently found out they offer breakfast every day 10 until 12. Relativly small menu but full English large or small on offer as well as smaller offerings such as bacon sandwich etc. We had small English which was excellent, good quality well cooked and presented. Very reasonably priced would recommend.

We were a party of 6 having lunch after an emotional family funeral yesterday. 2 meals were generous portions. 1meal (chicken was returned due dry chicken), the replacement was just ok. 3 of us had the Seabass which consisted of 2 very small fillets, over cooked and dry served on a meagre portion of new potatoes and approx 10 green beans. Very disappointing. I have an healthy appetite and this portion was very small for the cost. Extra vegetables were requested which was a bowl of green beans. The service by the male waiter was mediocre and certainly not conducive to be called customer service. 4 of the party had puddings with the Rocky Road deemed as disappointing. Probably best to stick to traditional pub grub and not have such an ambitious menu. We didn’t make a fuss as it was a family get together after a difficult and emotional day yesterday. In hindsight I wished I had sent my meal back.

Forgot to take a photo of the place, however it had a chilled feel about it for a meal with friends. What I can say is the food was superb (the mixed grill wiped me out!) and the service was excellent too. Prices were very reasonable, good range of beer, although they need a pilsner! Very worth a visit if you are after a bite to eat.

Посетили вчера первый раз, но опыт неудачный. Когда мы попросили убрать со стола, за который хотели сесть, пришлось спрашивать у двух человек за стойкой бара. Человек пришел, вытер все мокрой тряпкой, убрал стаканы, и ушёл. Пришлось идти в туалет за бумагой, и самим вытирать , чтобы не сидеть за мокрым столом. Не знаю, может это не их работа столы протирать? 😞

I have always had a good meal here, however; we arrived and they had no record of our booking and no resolution. So we went i to the bar for a drink and ask if we could eat there and could but needed to order at the bar, no problem. We ordered and sat down, now the bar is very run down compared to the other side, there is a corner seated area that would not look out of place in a crack house. Anyway we both had Chicken and Stilton pie which I have had there before but this time wasn't the best, pastry went from rock hard (my wife left hers) to something that felt like it came out of a microwave. We did actually ask if they had been microwaved and were told no. The pie filling was slop no pieces of chicken and no real sign of Stilton. It was edible and ok but probally the worst meal I have ever had at this establishment. Staff were very good other than some guy with a beard that seemed in charge that really needed to learn how to interact with humans. We actually used the function room and I have to say the buffet was very good and the staff were more than helpful.

It was our first time visiting The Great Northern and it won't be the last. They have a wide ranging menu and the food is tasty. It is easy to get to and plenty of parking. I imagine it is a great place during the warmer months when you are able to sit outside.

After just having our wedding reception here yesterday, I couldn't have been happier with service provided. The staff were absolutely incredible and very understanding with last minute changes which they had no problems meeting to ensure we had the best time. All we received were compliments about how nice the buffet was and due to the length of time there, they were happy to bring the food out in 2 lots to make sure people didn't miss out if they came early or late. I'd absolutely recommend this venue for any kind of event because they really do go the extra mile for you. Our room was super spacious that we stayed in aswell and it was just an all around beautiful experience.

We pop in often. They do great coffee here – thick and strong. Great place for people watching. Not eaten here yet but the cakes, pastries and sandwiches look good. Maybe some low carb alternatives would be good. Bacon and egg tarts, for example? Only marked down (selfishly) due to there being plenty of space for prams and pushchairs and therefore... Squawking small things – that can spoil the atmosphere. But this means there's plenty of space for wheelchairs and mobility scooters and there's level access through wide doors. And there's an accessible loo.
