Saturday lunchtime, service was very slow - took half an hour from ordering our starter to getting it, then a further 20 minutes for main. Menu options were limited and steak was overcooked (asked for it medium rare but it was more medium/medium-well) texture was more crumbly than it should have been, and the chicken and vegetables were very dry, with no sauce. Tasted like it was just heated up in a microwave - does it really take nearly an hour to do that? Prices were very expensive for the quality of food. I'd rather have gone to a Wetherspoons. We were placed on a table in the middle of the path to get to other tables so everyone walking by us had to squeeze behind our chairs and we were constantly having to sit uncomfortably tucked in. We were also there for a birthday and whilst they put a balloon up that was it. Not a single acknowledgement or happy birthday etc from the waiters, which I feel like should be the bare minimum. The only positive was the location and the look of the place inside.

Visited for the first time on 09/11/23. Arrived around 12.15pm. Ordered soup from menu asked for Leek and Potato, which was on the menu. When it arrived it was tomato. We asked if there was Leek and Potato available and were told no, and that they had just decided to replace it without informing us. To be fair the soup was OK. We then order an Apple and Blackberry crumble with custard. Bowl was nuclear hot when it arrived, but we were not warned. Unfortunately one of us burnt their fingers. Custard was almost non existent and like vaguely Vanilla flavoured water. Not enough to cover top of pudding. Staff were friendly but very very slow. All in all, would go elsewhere next time we visit Gunwharf.

Very well located, great front and rear drinking areas and generally speaking a nice pub, BUT... where it all falls apart is the shocking queues for any drinks. 1 tiny central bar, no system, not enough staff, too slow to pull anything with 2 taps, the slowest Guinness you'll ever order, and the urgency of a sloth waking up from hibernation. Quite shocking, but not surprising that I nearly witnessed 2 fights in the one hour I was there over this debacle of a disorganised queue 'system'. Sort it out.

Went for a pub lunch with husband and teenage son. I’m vegetarian and found the options limited so didn’t actually order anything. The place smelled of fish so was a bit off putting. We were given a table inside in a small room with another family. The atmosphere was a bit flat and lacking the warmth of a traditional pub. Husband had a sandwich and son just a portion of chips. £30 later and I’m still hungry. Probably won’t go again.

Myself and 3 others visited at lunchtime on Monday 29th July. 2 of us ordered the Tuna Mayonnaise sandwich with spring onions. The menu clearly had it priced at £9.95. When we went to order the barmaid said it was £11.95. I said I’m sure the menu said £9.95. Her response was, that the till stated it was£11.95. I went back outside to the table and brought the menu in to the bar and showed her and she got the manager who then refunded the difference…no apology! I hope they have sorted out the till glitch now! The sandwich arrived, with 2 tiny pieces of spring onion and a plastic bottle of mayonnaise for us to squirt into the sandwich. Avoid that particular choice and check the price carefully when you order. Other than that great pub in a great location!

This place is very nice and elegant. The outside and inside of the venue look really nice. The pricing is a bit expensive for drinks, but I would say the food is worth it. There isn’t much service, you order through an app or at the tills, and we found one of the ladies to be a bit rude towards her staff. The food was tasty, we had fish and chips as well as a range of different courses such as the roast, the linguine and salt/pepper squid. We would recommend this venue for the food but probably not the drinks (too pricey).

We had Sunday roast, my husband and myself ordered the Norfolk roast chicken, We expected beautiful slices of chicken Breast on our plate. What we got was a drum stick and half of a chicken breast cut across the middle ( which was dry). Had this been stated on the menu We would not have ordered it. There wasn’t very much meat at all and we were very disappointed, and I had to pick it up to eat it as it was to fiddly to cut. I did point this out to a member of staff but was told that’s how it is! This star rating is based on mine and my husbands meal, as everyone else had beef or pork, which was not only beautiful it was a generous portion. My advice to customers is don’t order chicken!

Looked a great pub from outside. Has sheltered outdoor seating to the front. Fullers pub with choice of 6 handpulled cask beers.... but no staff serving who knew anything about bitter, nor how to pull a cask ale. For goodness sake, Fullers, train your staff! I asked for a half of handpulled bitter and got presented with a flat as a pancake glass of liquid, no head whatsoever. Flat drinks pulled so ignorantly taste awful, it affects the beer taste. So when you don't know what you're doing, you might as well be serving water. The young lass whippersnapper who "pulled" my half tried to justify it by "explaining" "it's not meant to be a fizzy drink." !!!! And this said to someone from the trade who ran pubs and knew and knows how to pull cask beers. I was about to give her the benefit of the doubt and just select a different beer, but then whippersnapper 2, male version, had just pulled a drink for another customer from my 2nd choice beer and that was flat as a proverbial as well. Two young staff, both clueless and untrained on how to serve a beer, well, I just said forget it. No point having 6 handpulled cask beers for sale but a clueless crew who can't operate the pumps. Train your staff!

App said food would be 30 minutes delay (after you've ordered and paid), Finally arrived 50 minutes later. No apology, but when asked why such a long and inaccurate waiting time, came the sage words "well its lunchtime and the kitchen is backed up!". Certainly not going back

I ordered "Burrata & balsamic marinated tomatoes" from the Small Plate menu as I wasn't feeling for a full-size lunch. I understand the term Small Plate. But, what I received was a half-empty mini plate for £12.50. I don't mind paying for the food, but I am looking for value. However, this was a joke on the plate. It wasn't even the whole Burrata torn into 5 (?) pieces. I am not even sure it was Burrata, as it tasted more like mozzarella from Costco. There were 3 rather thin wedges of tomatoes and 4 stone hard pieces of bread or whatever it was. The cost of all the ingredients on the plate could be max. £4. The labour cost had to be peanuts as creating this complicated delicacy had to take like a minute. Thank you. This was our first and last visit.

If you’re a foodie, you’ll find the food here well below what you’d expect for the price. The ingredients were clearly cheap and not particularly tasty, had the snails which were served like warm and had to pay £2.95 extra for a couple of cheap supermarket rolls. The steak itself was okay, but not consistently cooked and over done in places. The staff were friendly and helpful, just got the impression that it maximising profit at the expense of providing a decent meal at that price point.
