It is a great place to bring children families friends and loved ones together to enjoy the food and drinks here. There is parking available onsite but it is first come first serve basis. There are also offers available for food and drinks especially shots if you fancy. There is also outside sitting area to enjoy the views. Definitely recommended for everyone Thank you and have a great day 🙏

I had a steak and I could hardly cut through it. I was going to bring it home for my dog when they came to clear the table when they asked if we were happy and I told them no. So we got a free pudding but it would have been nice for a member of staff to come up while we were eating to ask how our food was. Don't know if I'll be going back again Shane as I only live around the corner I think

If you enjoy waiting an eternity for disappointment on a plate, this is the place for you. After what felt like a lifetime of sitting in a dreary, soulless room, my food finally arrived— , bland, and looking like it had been thrown together by someone with a deep-seated hatred for flavor. The service? Nonexistent. I’ve seen glaciers move faster than the staff here. No updates, no apologies, just an endless wait for something that wasn’t even worth the effort of lifting a fork. By the time it arrived, I wasn’t sure if I was more furious or just completely dead inside. Save yourself the misery. Go anywhere else. Eat literally anything else. Chewing on cardboard would be a more enjoyable dining experience.

The Iford Bridge is a great pub grub venue. I've eaten here quite regularly and have always found the food and service to be great for the price point. The food doesn't pretend to be anything other than pub grub, but it is always hot, tasty and generous as well as great value. The main difference with Iford for me is the staff; the restaurant always runs smoothly, even when busy. This evening, the restaurant was busy as they had a discount deal running. Our order had a small error, but it was dealt with smoothly and easily thanks to Joe, who sorted the problem quickly. When our food arrived, it was hot and tasty. If you're looking for great value pub grub, then I thoroughly recommend The Iford Bridge.

The sausage in the mixed grill was great. The garlic bread was full of flavour. The chicken in the buttermilk chicken burger and the mixed grill was really overcooked and dry, some bits were very tough and not edible. The tomato in the mixed grill was very overcooked and sloppy. The mushrooms were slightly undercooked. The steak was tasty but very gristly and chewy. The gammon was seasoned well but quite dry. Both portions of fries were too salty. I had too pints whilst there, a Carling and a Coors, both tasted unfresh (perhaps they are popular beers and bottom of the barrel or the pipes need cleaning). Service was great considering it was busy. Last time we ate here, we had the exact same meals and it was amazing, cooked perfectly, completely the opposite this time.

First time away from the home for Christmas Dinner, had been previously to the Iford and was always very happy with everything, we were placed on a table write next to the window which was prefect, there were seven of us, two of our main course’s didn’t arrive with the other’s But we were kept updated all the time and were given a complimentary drink each, you can the quality of a place when something goes wrong (happens to everyone) and the staff could not have done more and it was no major wait. I Would recommend anyone for Christmas Dinner at the Iford, great value, quality, atmosphere and especially service. The only thing was that the ladies toilets were not clean, one tap didn’t work and two of the toilets locks were broken, but this did not alter the fact we had a lovely experience there and would go back again at a drop of hat. Thank you and Happy New Year.

What has happened to the iford, we used to really enjoy having a meal here, however we booked a festive meal for last night for the family. We paid a deposit and pre-orderrd the food, but when arrived and was shown to our table there was Christmas crackers or napkins it was just laid out as normal, the starters arrived, can't fault those they were lovely. But when one pig in blanket it came to the Xmas turkey dinner it was shocking, processed turkey!! Really!! Frozen roast potatoes and tiny Yorkshire pudding carrots and sprouts, one pig in blanket, unfortunately no effort spared. On the up side the staff were lovely as usual

Can’t rate this place highly enough for their customer service skills in particular. My Mum and Dad are regulars and they are always treated so well by all the staff here. I joined them for a meal this week and can see why they love it so much, it’s the little things like bringing a dessert spoon over without having to ask for my Dad as he struggles to eat with a knife and fork after his stroke. Adjusting the menu so he can have mash instead of chips again because he struggles with certain foods. They were greeted so warmly, despite being incredibly busy, it was just lovely to see. Good choice of food, quick to arrive, good sized portions, hot tasty and great value for money. I really can’t recommend it highly enough.

I just want to clarify that I don't mean any malice towards this business or the employees. It's not my intention to hate on anybody, I just want to share my genuine thoughts and experience at this pub. I'm pretty disappointed and a little upset at the last few times I have visited here. I'll start with the positives. The pricing isn't too bad, definitely not as expensive as some other establishments. I think the pricing is pretty fair. Parking is usually pretty good too, on busier days like weekends you might have trouble parking but usually not too much of an issue. Unfortunately, the service and food quality just isn't good. The waiters/waitresses are SO miserable I've never seen anything like it. On our most recent visit, the lady who delivered our first meal (for our young child) put the plate on the table and said "E R kids meal". No eye contact, no manners, me and my family were gobsmacked. How disrespectful? Clearly she needs a lesson in respect and manners no? There is one young gentleman who is pretty nice but all the other staff act so bored and uninterested it makes the atmosphere in there so depressing and unwelcoming. Also, you will never get a thank you for tipping them. I know it's optional but I always tip the best I can and never once had any sort of a thank you. How lovely. The food can be a hit or miss. The last two visits we ordered steak, the steak I got delivered was 100% fat which is a real shame. It's only around £10-£15 so I'm not expecting a 5 star steak but I was really disappointed with it and ended up not eating it. However some of the other food is really good, the fish and chips is lovely and I really enjoy the chicken gyros wrap. My niece said the cheese pizza on the kids menu was really good too. I also really enjoy the skin on fries so I recommend those. I have also noticed that on some occasions that the glassware and cutlery are not the cleanest which really puts me off eating with them. In conclusion, I don't love this pub but I think with a few improvements it could be a great place. It's just a shame that the staff are so miserable. The food I think is mostly good but there's a few things, like the steak, that definitely need improving. Thank-you for reading my review.
