Visited Sunday 17/11 for a Sunday lunch that we pre-booked. Table service not provided - you have to order at the bar, which is fine. Placed our order for drinks and 3 roasts, the latter of which took over an hour to arrive. If we'd have been told at point of order the wait time was that long, we'd have gone somewhere else. But, the wait was worth it as the food was very, very good. In our party, we had the roast beef and chicken and they were both delicious. It didn't bother us but dogs are allowed in the area where you can eat - some may not like this. We'd definitely go back again...

Visited the Punch House for a Sunday roast as I was passing through town to visit a friend and it was lovely! I had the pork belly, which was delicious, and the staff were really friendly and helpful throughout the day. Would definitely come again!

Our friends booked a table for Sunday lunch, which sounded great, as you order at the bar and our friends were ordering a bottle of wine, which apparently there was no white wine, as they had sold out, so we ordered separately. Big mistake, our friends meals came up within half an hour, one meal was ok and the other was not, but decided not to say anything at the time. Myself and my husband then continued to wait for another hour before I approached the nice gentleman behind the bar and enquired where our food was, as our friends had finished theirs!!! He told me that as we ordered separately that a table of 10 had placed orders that was why ours was delayed, really!!! should this not have been pointed out to the chef that we were on same table instead of completing a 10 people table first? Very disappointing. We waited another 20 minutes still no food we had our table booked for 2pm and we didn't get our food eventually until 3.30ish. My lunch was ok, nothing that would prompt me to recommend this establishment. Cauliflower Cheese had no sauce on it, the carrots was baked to within an inch of their death. Albeit the nice gentleman behind the bar who was helpful, offered us and our friends a free desert/coffee which we took him up on his offer. All in all food not great, service wasn't too bad.

Music thumping on a sunday evening. Completely unfair for residents who have babies who cannot sleep & people who are simply trying to relax. Have some decency for the people who are unfortunate enough to live around you. Weekly occurrence and most weekends we are unable to go to bed until 1am because of the thumping. Making life pretty miserable.. and before you say "dont live in town" most of us here didnt have much choice or would be homeless, will be reported to environmental health.

Visited after a short trip to Amwell Nature Reserve and chose this one from looking at all other Ware pub websites. Not disappointed. Booked online day before and despite it being early evening a table was reserved with my name on it (so often nobody bothers when it is quiet). Both main meals chosen included onions on the menu which we do not like and there was not a trace of onion when the food came. All served quickly and politely and good size portions. Only slight criticism was the limited desset choice compared with some other G&K pubs, but we were full anyway!

Haven’t been here since late ‘90’s!! It’s obviously changed and was a lovely early evening out. The pub is clean and bright, food was good (we had steak), the staff were very welcoming and attentive. I also think it’s reasonably priced (compared to extortionate prices we pay in Cornwall). The beer garden is spacious and relaxed and started to fill up very quickly. Will come back again on next visit.

Very very poor. Had a grilled cheese sandwich and fries. 2 very small burnt pieces of bread with a light spread of cheese and a sprinkling of rocket which wasn’t really wanted but I think they done it to make the plate look a little fuller. The chips were tasty but came on a saucer and no more than 20 I swear. Pathetic and grossly overpriced for what was there. A pub to be avoided as they are clearly over promising on the menu and definitely under delivering.

A comfortable, nice and quiet place, with (for me) a slightly posh and intimidating vibe on first appearance, but I soon got over that and found *lots* to like: lovely staff, delicious food and an interesting menu, a promising wine list, and literally 50-odd varieties of gin behind the bar. :-)

Went on 29th December 2023, my birthday... sibling was recommended by a work colleague as I had been a few years before, and unimpressed by £19 for Birds Eye Fishfingers, assured was better now, and indeed it was. 1 of us had to have 3rd choice, bad food planning. I never have chips, or anything greasy at home, so a lovely large Beefburger and trimmings was eaten with relish. Would have liked a shared plate of thin radishes, raw onions (optional !!) Tomatoes and pomegranate seeds as palate cleansers, the country pubs which are popular do lovely platters to share. Def would return, even go on my own. Xxx

If I have one niggle was that children have to be off site by 8pm, my fault didn't think to ask but did not affect day in anyway. Big thank you to all at the punch for making the day memorable for us all.

What a great “Pub” this pub resembles a restaurant, very airy, clean and free of strange odors. We had the Fish & Chips, which was a very generous portion and quite delicious. The Guinness is nice & cold, as well as cold water in the hydration station. The pub also allows you to refill your water bottle too. All in all, a very nice experience
