The Three Magpie's Hotel in Rotherham

Looked at reviews for this establishment and was impressed by how people were raving about the quality of food delivered, with friendly staff and a pleasing atmosphere. All of which I can totally agree with… HOWEVER!! 10 days after visiting, having a lovely meal, served by great staff in a warm and welcoming Restaurant - I GOT A PARKING FINE!! I didn’t realise it was a thing to have to pay for parking in a Pub?? I’m like, What The Holy F*#% is going on? I paid almost £100 for four meals, had drinks and deserts and then I’m having to pay a £100 parking fine! (Reduced to £60 if I pay it quick!) Maybe it’s me, I never saw the parking notices as “to be honest” I never looked and assumed that I’d have to pay for parking in a Pub… in all of my 43 years I’ve never, NEVER had to do this!! As it was the first time I’ve visited The Three Magpies, I feel it’s a massive shame and an opportunity missed to bring people from afar into their restaurant. Needless to say, I will not be visiting again, nor could I recommend it. It would have been favourable for the staff to prompt me by asking if I’d paid for my parking, but no… nothing! Having said that, I’d have probably got up and left at the thought of having to pay for parking in a Public House. OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOUR!!!!

I love going to this pub/restaurant, never had a disappointing meal, always amazingly tasty food. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are very accommodating including the landlady, it's the only pub/restaurant to me and my family have been to since move into the area 16 months ago because we have never been disappointed with anything from the very first time we went.

Really great food, lovely staff who are always extremely helpful from bar staff to manager, always has a really good atmosphere, also get lots of offers on food, so what more can you want. Definitely one of our favourite pubs and would highly recommend a visit.

We Went for breakfast. Breakfast was really well priced. Lots of choice on breakfast menu. Everything was well cooked. Definitely be back very soon.

I was barred for leaving a bad review. Obviously I'm not allowed to speak my mind. I've got a right to give my opinion. They post on Facebook which has a comment section but clearly they accept only praise. I commented that apart from two bar staff the staff in general was poor especially the landlord who was down on her hands and knees searching for a pound I accidently dropped, which I thought was ridiculous. I commented that she was basically a miser. I'm allowed to give my opinion. That's what the comment section is for. I was regular in that pub for years. Now I am barred for speaking my mind. They punished me for giving my opinion. On my next visit I was told to leave. I admit I lost my temper and swore at the bar staff. I was livid. Punished for giving my opinion. I'll never go in again whether the barring is lifted or not.

We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived and the service was excellent throughout. There is a large menu but the food is obviously prepared freshly and with care. Everything was delicious and great value.

Had breakfast here this morning sat outside in the sunshine and really enjoyed it, great staff and the added bonus of unlimited tea and coffee

Spot on place to eat with the family. Also a new park has been added to the place. Great food deals!! me, my wife, and 2 daughters £28, Bargain, if you ask me. Shout out to Paula, who served us. Proper on it with the service and attended to all our needs. The place is fresh and clean, and there is no table insight to be cleaned. Highly recommended!!

Have been here on several occasions. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and Rach and Lee have great customer service. Will be back again, thanks to everyone 🙂🙂

Excellent service and quality food would definitely recommend for all the family also lovely play area outside for the little ones

I love this place. Talk about value for money. Fabulous hot food. Great service. Great value. Very polite staff. Great portions

I went here with family on Thursday. Great portion of salmon with lovely veg and rice. Fantastic value for money. Excellent service. Went again on Saturday lunch time with sisters. Lovely chilli con carne. My sister loved her fish and chips. Again excellent value for money on the food and drinks and impeccably faultless service. Been a long time since I’ve found a pub with great food,great service and value for money

Three magpies family gathering was brilliant , atmospher was lovely with music and friendly staff who looked to be enjoying there banter and jobs . Food was delivered fast and hassle free , would highly recommend to anyone who hasn't tried the pub yet . Thankyou

Wouldn’t recommend going so disrespectful wouldn’t let me change my sauce made me pay an extra 70p and its been taken over by a new owner called Dion she is so disrespectful and rude. don’t go to the one in Brinsworth because it’s absolutely disgusting wouldn’t take her head out of here from when I was trying to have a conversation with her

I came in on Friday night with some friends after going to other local pubs and waiting forever to get served. There was karaoke and a disco on and it was really busy but we got served straight away. There were loads of offers on on the drinks and the staff were all really fun and friendly. Will definitely be coming again soon and skipping the other places

Food, drinks and service were spot on. It seems there is always something going on there, entertainment wise. We signed up to the app and got a free cocktail which was a pleasant surprise, and the food was delicious, especially since they made allowances for the picky eaters amongst our group. Keep doing what you are doing

Great entertainment loved the rock and roll bingo. Great drinks and food The pub was busy and now we know why we joined in the entertainment the food was fantastic my dad loved his father's day meal thank-you to all that was working

Went for food for my mum’s birthday. Food was spot on, amazing portions, staff very friendly, made it all feel welcome and I would 100% recommend this pub to anyone. Thank you for a lovely evening x

Great pub, excellent beer garden , good food what more could you ask for Looks clean and fresh inside. Loving the new cocktails 🍸 by kendra especially the fab that she recommended

I ordered an 8oz rump steak to be cooked medium with dirty chips. It is a sizzling dish and supposed to be served with sizzling onions, onion rings, half a tomato and button mushrooms. The steak was well over done and devoid of any juices. The onions had been either boiled or microwaved with no colour and definitely not sizzling. The onion rings had been microwaved and were soft and sloppy with no colour either. The button mushrooms were missing altogether. The dirty chips were the best thing on the plate but nothing special . No one came to ask if the meal was ok or I would have told them. I won't be returning. Very poor !!!

Excellent service from all the staff we spoke to. Food was very good value and reasonably priced. My mother really enjoyed her lunch and we will bring her again soon.

The food is spot on and staff are extremely friendly and helpful! Definitely recommend to anyone. 5*

Great food cooked by Stewie Excellent service and value for money Highly recommended. Staff were lovely and attentitve

Sampled the new menu today. Beautiful food. Such lovely, helpful and friendly staff. 10 out of 10 without a doubt

My son and I just an 8oz steak, Cooked to perfection and excellent quality! Highly recommended! Staff very efficient and friendly, Great pint of Guinness as wel.

Called in with some friends, had food and drinks, both superb and reasonably priced. Staff friendly and professional, all in all a great experience, will return!

What a delight to find this gem so close to the airport and my hotel. This pub dates back to 1760 and it displays all the character and charm you want and expect in a traditional English pub. Aside from it's decor and charm, the...

The pub itself is comfortable enough. The staff were reasonable enough. The customers were very good at showing off their "F" word skills. The food was not good. Shall not return.

Cheap food which to be fair is of a decent standard but nothing special. Had burger and chips which were cooked well and again just okay I would go back but not in a great hurry to The beer was probably the highlight

I came for dinner with two others and we are all quite awkward customers! We ordered classic burgers with no salad or mayo, but could we please have chilli on them? The girl serving us wasn't sure how to put this into the till, but...

Friendly staff. Amazing value for money. Definitely recommend Close to meadow hall out of busy traffic

Went to the Three Magpies twice this week for lunchtime meal with family and friends. The food was delicious, had the chicken and ribs and so good prices.The staff very friendly and lovely atmosphere. Would 100% recommend. Thanks Magpies x

This is the first time we have visited. The reason for visiting was after a visit to the local Boundary Mill Outlet., we wanted a place to relax. A very good choice With pleasant staff and tasty food, what could be better.

Awesome pub, good atmosphere, perfect pint what more could you really ask for! I will definitely be back in the near future.

Whether you want to come for a tipple or for a family meal/outing, this place is suited. The bar staff are hospitable and welcoming, the pints are faultless and they often have great drinks and food offers.

Metimos en por accidente, para ser honesto, tenía algo de tiempo para matar, buscando un lugar para tomar el desayuno y era en coche, así que metimos en.

We ate here as a large group on Bank holiday monday. Waitress was friendly and the food is unbelievably cheap and of good quality. Would highly recommend for morning after breakfast!

Mejor tortilla que pudieras comer con personal encantador y amable. También te dan café ilimitado, lo cual es estupendo. Sin duda volveremos.

Excelente comida y bebida a precios fantásticos, tan simple como eso realmente. Me amigos vienen unas cuantas veces a la semana y todo es siempre como se esperaba.

Fuimos como una familia, mi hijo disfrutó su comida, ya que ni yo tuve sobresaliente y huevo, que era preciosa. Hijo había nuggets de pollo que disfrutó seguido de un hacer su propio refresco. Mi marido tenía pollo y dijo que era como de goma, así que no es tan bueno. El servicio era bueno, limpio y precios razonables. Teníamos treacle esponja con flan de postre (poco en el lado frío) que fue muy agradable.

Tenía una gran experiencia aquí, vienen aquí regularmente, la comida es excelente y el gran servicio de atención al cliente, ambiente agradable y amigable, recomendaría para familias.

Had rib eye and cooked to perfection. Great tasting pint and great atmosphere will defo come again. Puddings are good too and not bad for the price

Great meal served quickly kids cleared their plates. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Definitely coming back again.

This sizzler is local to me.have used it a few times now,and never been disappointed.The food is very nice for what it costs;you just can't go wrong.loads of choice on the menu.Couple that with a huge choice of beers and wine,its a no brained!

Excellent choice of food all cooked to perfection. All the team willing to make you welcome and have a great banter.

Excellent breakfast choice - can recommend the works - toasted brioche with sausage bacon and eggs also re-fillable tea / coffee , great friendly staff and quick service

I have just arrived home from a fantastic Lunch at the three magpies! The staff were very friendly and the service was brilliant, the pub was clean and tidy, the food and drinks were great and it was super value for money! We enjoyed the new superfood salad with salmon and it was great, fresh filling and very tasty! We will be back...

We were staying in a local hotel and after looking at the very over priced restaurants we went on google and found this cosy pub on the main road, 5 mins walk food was nice and 4 clear plates later and 4 rounds of drinks were far cheaper than one round of drinks in the hotel, well worth the 5 mins walk.

The Bar area was very crowded and noisy ,but once in the dining area it was quiet ,compared to the Bar , but Christmassy cheerful . The food was excellent and the Service was second to none .Efficient Friendly Professionalism, I hope family commitment enable us to book again .

2 of us went for lunch, the food was cheap which made us think it would be low quality but everything was cooked extremely well and tasted fantastic. The bar staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had a great experience and would definitely go again.

A local pub in a village on the outskirts of Rotherham. Traditional pub atmosphere, up to three real ales, good value food (Sizzling group). Open for breakfast from 1000. Good range of options on the menu and not expensive. Gets a bit boisterous towards the end of the day. Free WiFi is available.

Icould not fault the meal,too much for us to finish, on the negative side,it was the first time we had been there and there was no sign of cutlery or condiments when the meal arrived,we did not know that we had to get our own from a counter,it took them at least 30 mins too clear the table,we were not very happy so we moved tables.

It was quite noisy but the food and drink were nice and reasonable prices. Service was efficient apart from getting the order slightly wrong. A good pub to sit outside when the weathers nice.

I love the new look of this pub and the food is great no matter what time of day you go. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere too!

After vowing not to go back due to the state of the place on a previous visit my wife suggested we go back as it had been refurbed, we went yesterday 27/7/16 for our tea, arrived at 6pm ordered a drink and the meals at 6.15pm, did not get the meals till 7pm, in between this time the 1 member of staff on duty (a young lady who did an admirable job btw) informed various regulars who were enquiring why she was on her own and she replied that the other bar staff had been summoned (presumably by Sizzling chain head office) that they had to go to sister pub White Rose at Handsworth that had had their kitchen closed down due to hygiene issues! This hardly filled us full of confidence and as we had already ordered and paid for our meals decided to stay, other people round us though had heard this and made a swift exit, on a side note it can't be good when staff are saying this open over the bar to customers.Meal duly arrived , I ordered the rack of ribs and it looked like Chernobyl, burnt to a crisp, also these onion bites served were just so greasy, my wife had lemon peri peri skewers which was average at best, the ribs were very overpriced at £8.99, desserts were good had the chocolate fudge cake and Mrs had key lime pie, I cannot understand why it is so bad as we often visit The Homestead in Broom Rotherham and it is excellent value and always busy, same chain so don't understand, won't be going again that's for sure

We had a lovely meal in the Maggies as it is called round here. My husband had a mixed grill and I had chicken and ribs combo. Both were excellent and cooked to order. We also visited a few days earlier and had a quick lunch after visiting the dentist. We had 2 courses for £4.79 and 2 drinks. It all came to less than £11.00 and was excellent. That is why we visited again for Sunday lunch. We can recommend the Three Magpies and will definitely be visiting again.

This was our first visit as a family for something to eat at this pub. It was very busy in the bar aide when we arrived as it was bank holiday but we found a table to eat easily although the music from the disco was loud. It was really warm as the heating was on and apparently hey couldn't switch off due to a problem. Our main course all came and were really nice all at good prices. My husband went to the bar for wine but they had run out of clean wine glasses on two occasions! Overall would go back but not probably on a bank holiday

The maggies has recently been refurbished inside and out and looks a million times better, the staff all have new uniforms and look much more professional and the new menu is great as well. Delicious food at great prices and in a wonderful atmosphere! If you haven't tried it since it has been done out you should definitely give it another go!

The magpies has had a makeover and not only have they got a new look, their new menu is great! Brand new home baked cookies which my children loved and noticed taste better.. Not only does the pub look amazing but the staff all have matching uniforms which also match the new logo of the pub. Not put any food prices up either and still decent prices for a nice pint. All round 100% improvement and will visit again with our £5 voucher

The pub looks fantastic after a very overdue refurb. The bar is amazing, love the HD big screen. The menu is great, still full of the classics and burgers, platters. The dirty beef burger was fantastic.

Time to try it again. Great food and a new look.chain pubs are often a bit bland but not the new look Magpies it remains a great local pub and place to watch sport.It has a trendy feel ,But oh the new menu their home baked nachos are the best I have ever had and the American platter was great but only if you have the appetite of a horse. Have a look at the menu it's sure to have something for you.

We were kindly invited the the magpies reopening following the refurb and what an improvement it looks really classy, great food and the drinks menu is fantastic too!! Particularly enjoyed the 'dirty burger' and the mango daiquiri!!

I do not like giving very bad reviews but having had such a bad experience here I'm afraid I have to. The big problem here is the terrible customer service. The two young girls behind the bar had no concept of who to serve and gave the impression that they were only interested in serving and chatting to friends. When I eventually had to insist on it being my turn I was given a mouthful of abuse from one of the ladies who seemed the think it funny and that saying sorry and rolling her eyes was acceptable (followed by mouthing sh#t to her friends). The other realised what was happening and looked suitably sheepish and served me. The Magpies is local to us but I think its time to go elsewhere. Its a shame but bad service and abusive staff drive people away!

came here for a family meal, all tables were dirty and chairs all over the place we had to wait for another family to leave so that the 5 of us could sit together, you have to get your own cutlery which might i add they had run out of, what was there was dirty, the food came and was bland and tasteless.the bar area was so busy and the bar staff only seem to want to serve "regulars" when they shout their names, 20 minutes I was waiting for a drink whilst these other people got served straight away, the toilets are discusting like something at a service station, the whole place is grubby and unfriendly . I would never come here again and really advise anyone else of coming here

Been here a few times with family and friends. Suitable for all ages as they have vareity of events on throughout the year. On this occasion I was with friends on a friday evening, had a lovely meal which was value for price. Then the DJ was decent and the atmophere was lively and enjoyable.

We visit here often for food and drink. All food great value for money and on certain days you can even get cheap drinks with your meals. Weekend nights there are karaoke discos and on a Sunday afternoon rock and roll bingo and a raffle. We often visit after a night out for breakfast as it is cheap, filling and fast service. Also 20% off drinks when football is on if you have a green card from behind the bar or the free app on your phone. Overall, great service at cheaper prices.

I've tried the breakfast a few times now and it's always great! It's cheaper than a McDonalds breakfast but much nicer, bigger and healthier! The Classic Breakfast is only £2.50 and it's a big portion for me! I had the breakfast wrap yesterday which is pretty much a classic breakfast in a tortilla! It was really nice and I only managed to finish half of it! The service was really good, everyone was friendly! I'll definitely be coming again!

Revisited this pub one tea time recently, a couple of young female bar staff hidden to the extreme left of the bar again,as last time,managed to catch the eye of one over the ridiculous pumps,two punters waiting politely to get the right of the bar would not have stood a chance of being served had I not pointed out that it was their turn first.Sat down,loud music being played in pool room area and loud different music being played in seated area,I politely requested of a staff member that that they play one or the other only to be looked at as if to say,"who are you to be telling us what to do".Toilets absolutely disgusting.In summary I find a definite unpleasant arrogance from the bar staffA definite bias to serving one side of the bar area Won't be revisiting again

We decided to visit for dinner as this is our local pub and usually provides cheap, decent food, ideal for a mid week meal when you are too busy to cook. However we were very disappointed as the food was poor, the children's menu states £2.99 for a main only or £4.50 for a main, drink and dessert. I ordered 2 mains with drinks, expecting to choose the dessert after we ate the mains. On requesting the dessets we were told we needed to pay for them, I suggested we had already paid for them in the price but was told they would only be included if ordered with the mains.we hadn't been given an itemised receipt but when I broke it down I figured we had paid the full price for the kids meals and also been over charged for the adult meals. I pointed this out to the assistant but she refused to accept my point. She suggested we had paid 1 pence less for the kids meals for not having desserts. We weren't offered any compromise. Even by her calculations she could have provided us 2 desserts at only a loss of 2pence but I remain adamant that we were over charged by nearly £5 and denied desserts that should have been included. When I questioned why we weren't asked at the point of ordering if we wanted to Include the deserts for the extra 1p each she explained that the girl that served me was new and didn't fully understand how it worked. As the customer I don't think that's really my problem. Needless to say we left without having desserts, with 2 very disappointed children and won't be returning.

After recently moving to the area we ate and had drinks here on quite a few occasions and found it to be a very friendly public house. Staff are lovely and meals are generous in size and good value. The out side area is great in summer for families with children, and entertainment/karaoke at weekends make it an all round good place to be Well worth a visit... !

Popped in here for lunch and have to say very impressed. Not busy and was served quickly. Dad has fish and chips, his favourite! He declared it excellent and definate value for money. I had bbq chicken and bacon wrap with chips. No complaints either. Total cost £12 with two cokes. Excellent value!!

Clicky bar staff and certain customers huddled in the corner of a U shaped bar,ignoring a huge percentage of the serving area,making customers feel that they have to walk around to them to be served,because if you don't anybody directly in their eyeline WILL be served first.Very weak "landlord",who (on the odd occasion he shows his face)just stands in said corner,very nice pub gone bad

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food a lot nicer that previous visits. The ladies toilets could really do with updating and also the music was a bit loud to enable us to have a conversation but I suppose it could be that we sat in a bad place. We will probably go again when my friends and I want a night out near home.

I revisited due to being given a discount voucher by the manager to make up for my last experience. the experience was 10 times better than the last visit. Well done on the improvements x

Me and my wife went on the 5th December I ordered 10 oz steak combo and my wife had the same,were do i start steak was chewy and fatty the worst steak ever service poor had to fetch own cutlery and condiments when meal had arrived, not a very pleasant culinary experience

This my first time that i have ventured out on a christmas day for lunch after other family members saying previous years have been good firstly would like to point out the young girl serving was quite lovely . first round of drinks came glass was far from clean!! then the starters came i had ordered pata' presentation was shocking and to top it off cheap bread not even toasted but decided to make best of it and hoped main would be great... Wrong frozen roast potatoes (aunty bessies wouldve been better) nothing on the plate was fresh!! yes meat portions were plenty but would rather had less and freshin my view this was like a icelands mircowave roast dinner!!! pudding how ever was lovely shame so little of it will not be returning

I recently came to try the new breakfast menu. The pub was very clean and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. My breakfast was delicious, absolutely loads of food for only £2.49! I have been recommending it to my friends and am looking forward to coming in and trying the pancakes!

Very nice atmosphere and looking fabulous with all the Christmas decorations had a wonderful meal served hot and in an appropriate time what more could one ask for highly recommend anyone to try and not believe all you read from some of the other comments I've seen

2 out of 3 meals were ok, the other was disgusting. I ordered lasagne, after waiting 40 minutes, it was freezing cold when it eventually arrived. I complained and they took it back into the kitchen and microwaved it to within an inch of its life. They had put a massive pile of cheese on top to hide the fact that they were giving me back the original meal, which really annoyed me because I had purposely ordered a meal that was marked as under 700 calories. The waitress said that they would give me a free desert but after waiting for another half an hour with our empty plates in front of us, we just left. I would understand if the pub had been busy but it wasn't really. 2 members of staff were stood chatting to a family member for quite a while.

Rubbish FoodBeer Warm and FlatDirty Place. Sadly not a lot of places left to go in this once thriving area. They know this and that's why they don't try. DUMP

Terrible front line staff (later learnt that it was a manager), too busy shouting across bar to other customers ( regulars I assume), got my order wrong, what a surprise, steak just chewy and fatty, scampi soft and under done, and scrap end cold chips! Complained to another member of staff who dealt with our complaint very efficiently thankyou.... Sent out burnt garlic bread ( to replace onion rings, they had run out off but failed to inform us) and a half cooked flat mushroom), needless to say we were very disappointed. Apologies given by male manager, female "manager" smirking and laughed, obviously been there too long, as she must have felt we had rudely sat in her front room!!!Seriously... Used to be a lovely place with good food, now...shamefully bad

Went here recently for the first time since it changed hands and its really gone down hill.Whilst my husband was at bar ordering food and drinks he heard another member of the bar staff complaining about another customer saying that she was a right nightmare, not very customer focused if the staff are slating customers whilst other customers are close by and can clearly hear them!Anyway the food came out and it was just average, the kids fish goujons meal was alot better than the other 3 meals that we had ordered. The service for the food was quick but the staff don't fetch you any cutlery, napkins or condiments, neither do they tell you where to find these, you just have to find them for yourselves.After we had eaten we went outside so kids could have a run around but the beer garden that they have was over run by kids playing football, and none of them had a parent with them, I think they must have just finished school (the comp is right net door) then just come on field to play football.We went back inside as it started to rain and bearing in mind it was half 4 in the afternoon and we have 2 young kids with us we heard the staff swearing, shouting, barking orders at kitchen staff from the bar and generally making more noise than any of the customers in the place, you expect it from other customers as at end of day you are in a pub but to hear it from the staff is just not on. We definately wont be going back, this is our closest pub but in future will walk a bit further and make The Fairways our new local as this is far far better.

Arrived here at approx 8.30pm with a friend to watch our local drinking establishment participate in the Rotherham pool league. As this was the first time in a couple of years we were a little excited about the return of a much needed Monday night bonanza!first impressions was the place was a little quite in the main dinning room but its a Monday night and this is not what we was here for the atmosphere around the pool table was pretty vibrant and our team was just taking a 1 - 0 lead as we was getting served.We ordered two pints of Carling and I got more than a five pounds change from a tenner. both pints was well chilled and presented in clean glasses with a lively amount of bubbles to get our mouths watering. needless to say the taste was as good as it looked.The pool area was pretty busy with both home and away supporters who engaged well together to make a great atmosphere but we still managed to find a spot with sat next to a guy who looked like a casual version of the former wrestler man kind and some one who was on crutches due to be knocked over by a taxi. You may be thinking this place has some strange locals but they was like us from the vising establishment.There is a fire door to the left of the table where we was sat which was aloud open all night to allow people to smoke out of and to be honest this put a really cold chill in the place and really should have shut and the main doors used to allow for extra comfort for the drinking guests.It never really bothered me too much but friend wouldn't let it go how cold it was to the point I thought I had a new girlfriend he was moaning that much.Anticipation was growing as the food offering was about to be served for the interval of the pool matches so I thought I would take the opportunity to use the water closet facilities and freshen up. This is an area that could do with a little work in. seemed a little old in there and I wasn't shagging around for small talk despite the fact some mechanic was trying to explain to me why he washes his hands before he and after he visits the toilets...Weirdo! I mean O.K personal hygiene 10/10 but to inform the world at an inappropriate moment on vulnerability was a bit much.Back to the game at which point I lost track of the game however I picked up just to see one of our parties get beat embarrassingly by 6 balls. Oh dear! things can not get any worse than that. Unless you let a meerkat referee then apparently you can get 7 egged which happened in the following and final game before the food arrived.O.K mixed reviews from the food. considering this is a free service I though the food was decent and was impressed as the decided to set up the food offering in front of me and my dribbling friend who already had a paper napkin bib on ready for the feed.Buttered brown granary which I though was of good quality not dry and old which you could expect from a free offering. sliced chicken and stuffing balls (served cold) I though was O.K but a few comment it should have warm. large tin of chips all the condiments you need and gravy.I started with a chicken and stuffing sandwich which I thought was reasonable and certainly satisfied me needs. I was to be critical I would say a little too dry for my needs. Captain slim to my left went straight in for a chip butty and made a right mess. Crumbs every where at least I could see why he was wearing that paper napkin now. he mentioned it was decent but was moaning about the bread which worked fine for me. He then went cheekily went for a stuffing ball before all the others had had time to eat which he commented should have been warm. needles to say he followed that up with an additional stuffing ball so I could have been that bad cold. Some of the locals described the food as poor and the stuffing ball as a scotch egg but I found these comments slightly harsh and the food well above average for a pool night. That much as my friend indulged into another chip butty with time with gravy lashings on I though I would join him. chips salt bit of vinegar tomato sauce ( in the sachets arrrgghhhh!!! hate them, and of course true to form ended up with tomato sauce on my fingers as you can never get the sauce out with not making a mess). and a little gravy. Delicious! food rating 7.5 /10We finished our drinks and was really wanting another pint as the first was really pretty good but unfortunately my new rent a girlfriend for the night had let the open fire door get the better of him and we had to leave. You would have thought a man who looks like hes setting up for hibernation for the winter by appearance would be handle a a slight breeze on a relatively warm March evening.Overall a much pleasant visit would happily return next season if we stay on the same division.One thing to mention for fellow drinkers and food offerings is this is a sizzler pub and the food offering seems of really good Value but one thing I can comment on is there are plenty of pint offerings on under £2.00 and of really good quality. They offer Sunday lunch to, I think at £6.99 and there is plenty of parking

This is 'ding' food at its worst.Met a friend there last week as it was easy for him to find, not being local. Where do I start, beer, undrinkable, literarily, I sent it back and opted for lager! The bar person didn't seem to have a clue and didn't seem at all bothered that my beer was undrinkable.Food (if it can be called that), typical chain pub food, but very poorly prepared and served, mine had obviously been in the microwave too long and my friend’s food still cold in the middle.

I regularly visit the three magpies as it is nearby to us, and with the prices it's cheaper than cooking! Every single time we have visited the food has been fantastic, the staff friendly and always a brilliant atmosphere! Highly recommended!

A well run, popular pub serving good food at excellent prices.I've tried pretty much everything they have from steaks to fish and pies ... all faultless.Only small niggle is that they do seem to cock up the orders quite regularly!

Such a great fun pub, cheap drinks and food and a good atmosphere!! Love the karaoke, and the cocktails.
