we have a bitter sweet relationship with this place, overall we love it, but over the years going for a meal has become like russian roulette. We met a friend there yesterday for dinner, the place was quiet, yet there was chanting at the bar "why are we waiting" there was 3 bar / till staff / table clearing - that we saw we waited 45 minutes for our main and then half an hour for our pudding plus the ceiling was leaking next to where we sat we have been there before and they have had a very limited menu - just chips and garlic bread plus we have encountered fights - someone through a pint and it missed the target and hit my dad, travellers - tipping gravy on my lap, i suppose we should stop going considering our track record, but its near, and its reasonable, but its always average!

After seeing the reviews being a mixed bag I was unsure. However when we came today the staff and food was amazing. The girls was very friendly, helpful and recommended some of there favourites. The food came in a reasonable time and was really good. We are definitely pleased we gave it a try.

So I went about for lunch the waitress staff was excellent but how ever the food wasn't so excellent I ordered steak was like eating leather when for medium rare the chips was so nice they was mushy like the had been placed in microwave. My wife scampi was over cooked in my words the food was 💩

What a shambles. There were 16 of us and we pre ordered our food. The pub was packed. One bar staff and one waitress, rarely around. The food was bland, dry and unappealing. The service was slow and unfriendly. I won't be rushing back and definitely wouldn't recommend. Greene King have really gone downhill!

Such a shame. So seriously understaffed that it is getting a bad reputation. One member of staff behind the bar and one serving food. That's it. Food was nice, but orders were incorrect and had to be sorted out because staff can't keep up. Just employ more staff and you might keep your customers. I won't be back until something changes.

We visited today, 3 adults and 4 hungry kids. My friend had a clubcard voucher, and we managed main meals for all 7 of us for just under her £60 voucher! Food was nicely presented, they adapted a few meals too (my son wanted beans and not peas on his, which was no trouble). 7 empty plates! We’d definitely come again.

Wow! You know when you go into somewhere, thinking on entry "thus is going to be 7-8/10," then it delivers at 11/10? This is one of tbose places. Spotlessly clean, and the staff were so attentive, seeing to our every need. We had a mix of carnivores and a couple of those odd vegetarians with us, fir sone reason in thr majority of other venues it seemed to confuse kitchen staff, nit so here! The food was spectacular, nobody was left waiting, all dishes were served at the same tempeature, so obviously hadn't been parked under heat lamps. All 3 courses for all of us were simply fantastic! Our compliments to all the kitchen staff, and to the floor and bar staff for being so friendly! 6 stars out of 5!

Total chaos it’s seems there was only 3 members of staff working on a half term Monday 1 bar staff 1 to bring food & to collect dishes & wipe tables & the other member was in the kitchen & the reason I know this as when my husband had to send his road kill back sorry I meant hunters chicken the waitress said he would have to bear with us as there is a lot of food orders yet to come out & he was on he’s own in the kitchen, come on green king you need more than 3 members of staff on a half term break especially when kids eat free on a Monday. The food was cold & I felt the poor waitress was running around like a headless chicken orders were coming out wrong queues at the bar & the short time we were there the food waiting time went up to 40 mins & there must have only been 20 people in the pub. We should have asked for a refund really but I think if we had that poor waitress would have had a complete meltdown & just the look on her face when more people came through the door was enough, they were trying to to their best but we’re slowly sinking, I’ve been to many Hungry Horses I don’t expect haute cuisine it is what it is my husband has worked for green king & it’s a very simplified system that works if you have the right staff & you shouldn’t have to hear the waitress running around like on a marathon puffing & blowing & saying we’re busy & youl have to wait & replacing meals without asking is it ok for you this time I felt like I was in my nans kitchen when the whole family desends & can’t cope.

Making our way home from the NEC Birmingham to home in Boston. Found this restaurant (slight detour) via Peterborough in the hope of finding somewhere to eat (on Valentine's day evening) Absolutely fantastic and helpful staff at the bar. Extremely friendly and cheerful. We had a great, enjoyable meal. Excellent food and great staff. Would certainly go back again for a meal and we would certainly recommend the food, together with the excellent service and staff.

From start to finish the service was horrendous. Me and my partner arrived and went to order our food/drinks however the wait for anyone to acknowledge us was awful. Once we had ordered our food it took ages to come out. My partner ordered a cheese and bacon burger and it arrived with no bacon! The chips were cold and it felt like they had been sitting for ages. When approaching a member of staff to ask where the bacon was in the burger he looked at us questioningly as if we had either eaten it or that it was there and we had not looked properly. He made my partner practically deconstruct the burger to prove that there was no bacon. This member of staff then stormed into the kitchen without even an apology and didn't even take the plate back to the kitchen. When coming out of the kitchen he still didn't come to take away the plate. My partner questioned him if he was going to take the plate away and he said No he was just going to be bringing the bacon out in a bowl. My partner had to request for him to take the plate and as he did this it was with such an awful attitude making us feel uncomfortable. He then proceeded to ignore us for the whole of the evening and not one member of staff came to ask us if everything was okay through out the whole 2 hours during our visit. Our plates were never cleared and eventually when we left and we felt as though because we had mentioned something that was clearly the error of the restaurant not ours, that we were intentionally ignored. I feel any staff members who work in a front of house role should at least be able to speak with customers politely and perhaps would benefit from some further training on how to speak to people. We shall not be returning and will be recommending that our friends and family avoid the place.

I used to come here all the time with my friends specifically to get the halloumi sandwich. This time i’ve been and they’ve removed the best sandwich ive ever had in my entire life from the menu….and replaced it with an exact same copy just with chicken instead!! We asked if there’s any way i could still have it with halloumi in it instead because i don’t eat meat but we were told it was discontinued and there’s absolutely no way i could have it which is fair enough, i totally get it so i ordered the battered halloumi and chips instead…..and the exact same halloumi that went in the sandwich comes out on a plate!!!!! The worst part is you can even buy the garlic ciabatta on it’s own and make it yourself at the table if you ask for some of the sauce!!! I just don’t understand why if you have the items on the menu on different dishes you couldn’t just make the chicken interchangeable with halloumi!!!! That sandwich was the best thing i’ve ever eaten and it saddens me that i’ll never get to taste it ever again.

Went for a meal with my partner, was served barely half a portion which was dry and burned. After sending it back the waitress returned with what was clearly the original skanky portion with the burned bits picked out. Sent it back again and manager declared they'd run out of what I had ordered.All this whilst My partner was able to eat his meal. Had to fight for a partial refund and manager did not care at all that I had to go hungry.Will never return.

So after finding out about a new deal my partner, I and our doggo popped in for a bite to eat in our pyjamas. To call it a bite was an underestatement, I'm talking a full meter long sausage in a bun and could only managed half of that at best. The food was fresh and cooked excellently, very filling and a great price, the outdoor seating area was nice and clean too. Not to mention the staff members were so welcoming and friendly especially Kyra, offering to get our dog some water and his own breakfast for coming in his pyjamas too. Overall one of the best visits we've had here and would definitely come again.

My family and I visited the establishment during the recent half term for meals. The place was warm and exceptionally clean. All measures of social distancing and sanitisation were implemented and in a friendly (not draconian) manner. Our meals were brought to us in an exceptable time frame and were hot, as described and not to mention delicious. Our waitress Heidi was very friendly and efficient and quite simply could not do enough to make our visit anymore positive. Heidi made time to entertain our children by providing colouring essentials whilst we were waiting for our meals and was always at hand to check if there was anything else we needed alongside all the other tables and customers she was taking care of. We tried to offer Heidi a tip to express further our gratitude for her outstanding service but she refused stating that she was simple happy that she that assisted in given us a great time. It is rare that I sit down to take the time to write a review but feel that it's the least I could do. I definitely rate our experience 5 stars based on the establishment, food and definitely the service we received. I will be recommending the Halcyon to my friends and colleagues.

I have visited this establishment on many occasions but I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the level of customer service we received. We were met at the door by a lady who I later found out was called Heidi. She greeted us with a smile and explained all we needed to know in regards to checking in etc. We were shown to a table and instantly made to feel welcome. She was efficient and attentive throughout our visit. When leaving even though it was busy she made the time to say goodbye. I wish every pub experience could be like this.

We'd booked a table for 6 through the app. Family catch up. Got to the pub only to be told there was no booking and we couldn't be accomadated. We asked for the manager and showed him our email confirmation. He basically said it didn't matter and after back and forth conversation he said he'd try and arrange a table for later, if we came back as "he'd have to rearrange for the whole restaurant for us" We which said we didn't want to come back later. The manager was very rude and condescending. To be honest if he worked for my company I'd be very disappointed. Wouldn't a visit here at all!!

We booked a table for breakfast over the internet. The earliest it would let us have, was for 1100, however when we arrived (a) it wasn't busy and we could have obviously gone earlier and (b) a little worryingly, our reservation had not been received. We were graciously accommodated however and decided to order steak and chips as a late breakfast / early lunch or "brunch" It was lovely. Nicely cooked steak, topped with two fried eggs and a serving of chips. We were quite disappointed that more people were not eating, as it really was good. The Covid-19 safety measures are excellent with staff monitoring 'track and trace' registration besides face coverings adherence and initial hand sanitisation upon entry. The toilets were clean and tidy and our table (see photo) spotless. Recommended

Great service as always, however I’m a little disappointed as the face mask rule wasn’t implemented for all customers. I see this as unfair as I wasn’t allowed to be seated until I had scanned the track and trace, which I understand is within the new rules. Yet people that arrived after us were allowed to come into the pub without face coverings, what appeared to be the team leader on shift seated them without asking for them to wear masks. They also weren’t told to use the table service app like a lot of other customers.

This morning myself and my family went for breakfast, I have eaten here many times before but never for breakfast. I am a chef so expect good food. My partner had steak egg and chips, he ordered it medium, it was cooked to perfection! My breakfast was lovely too.. I did ask the barmaid to tell the chef that we really enjoyed our food today. Thank you Sam, keep up the good work..

We came in yesterday for a meal to use the 50% discount. Well what can I say it was absolutely delicious, loads of food and paid nothing for it. The service was lovely even though they were very busy I didn’t have a table booked but they bent over backwards to find me a table. Will definitely return! Thank you!

we didnt book a table for our family of 4 tonight, most places fully booked just walked in and got seated straight away, the staff were so friendly and with the current situation we are in are very quick to get stuff done! today was baking hot! i could see from looking at the staff they were feeling it! didnt bother them and they continued to give the best service! some people are just horrible and expect everything for nothing! with this 50% off some people are still not happy! our meal was lovely we waited a little longer than normal but that is to be expected when the government have introduced this new scheme and they are really busy! Hats of to you guys in this boiling hot heat walking in and out of the boiling kitchen and wearing face shields i honestly felt for you! we went home with full bellies and very happy!

Went for a lunch to the Halcyon as we had a decent meal there once before.I ordered the grill platter thing with a steak sausages, a fried egg and some chicken breasts, and my partner ordered a "new york pizza".The pizza she received was absolutely shocking, it looked like someone emptied an entire bottle of barbecue sauce on it. It was literally swimming in sauce, it looked like a soup and the whole plate was completely covered in BBQ sauce, the entire pizza was soggy and cold because it had soaked up all the cold sauce that the "cook" had poured all over it. There was so much sauce on there you couldn't even see the cheese or the pizza toppings. Meanwhile my steak was more a steak tartare than a grilled steak, completely raw and cold in the middle.Needless to say we left without finishing our food and ended up completely wasting £28. Will not return again.

Nothing major to report. Good food, good atmosphere. No children’s outdoor area anymore. Or any activity sheets to keep them entertained whilst waiting for food.

We had a reservation for 5.30pm for a friends birthday meal. Our table was ready when we arrived, which was good as it was fairly busy. We ordered our main course, which took over an hour to arrive. My food was lovely, so was my husbands and sons, unfortunately my friends daughters meal had to be returned twice as it was not edible. There was 12 of us at the meal, 10 of us had our meals and had finished for at least 20 minutes before the last 2 meals came out. By this time, the place was fairly empty (I would say there was only us and 4 other tables). So we decided to order dessert (surely it couldn't take over an hour to put some ice cream in a dish for the kids?) Oh but it did!!! I will definitely not be returning any time soon, which is a shame as my food was nice.

I came in this morning with a few friends and was served by the Team Leader, Dennis. There was a few things missing off the menu and he was very helpful with suggesting an alternative meal for a few of us.Will definitely be returning with service like this. Great atmosphere and smiling waitress.

After booking a table for 6 people at 8pm on a Friday night we arrived to be told the booking had not been received even though i had a confirmation email. The waitress was very polite and sat us at a high table but as my friend has back problems the high seats were too uncomfortable. We asked to move and were 'forgotten' by two members of staff. We then went to speak to the manager who cut of off rudely with a, 'let me stop you there ladies this is not my fault and IF you did book we haven't got it.' I showed him the confirmation email clearly this was not enough proof I had booked. We then had to leave and try to find another place to eat as it was clear that we were not going to get any help. Which he blamed on people and I quote, ' hoovering around for 3-4 hours when they should only be here for an hour to an hour and a half.' needless to say I have emailed Greene King pubs.
