Decent pub, normally go in before a saints game. Does get quite busy on a home game day though.

I went to my first ever Saints game and then was walking back to town and just kind of followed a crowd of people into the Thomas Beckett and I’m so glad I did. The vibes in there were immaculate with all the other Saints fans. it was great fun with the karaoke and everyone singing along and plenty of pints of Guinness to be had there.

There was a brilliant band in that night and we were really enjoying them although they started late as the rugby didn’t finish until 10pm but the band didn’t complain and played for over an hour straight through until the manager told them to stop and I overheard them at the bar saying they would only pay them half of the money they agreed because the pub ‘wasn’t busy’ I am appalled by this I go to so many pubs to see live music and have NEVER seen this happen before You don’t decide to not pay a band because the turn out isn’t as much as you hoped after making the band wait over an hour to actually start playing. I also noticed on the pubs social media they only advertised the band 4 hours prior to the event So I don’t feel the band was to blame I would never go there again and will tell my friends who are avid pub goers to listen to bands to avoid Thomas a Beckett for the way they treated that poor band and to refuse to pay what they agreed was just an insult !!!!!!

Well it’s been a long time since walking in the Thomas A Becket. What a ‘glow up’ it’s had. The interior was great, price of Guinness was sub £5 which is insane in today’s climate. Whether it was the best conditioned.. probably not, however still. Sport was on the tvs which could be viewed pretty much from anywhere. Staff friendly. Only let down, I know this can’t be helped, but the builder lot in there for the afternoon drink, openly talking about getting drugs, along with the fragrant use of the C word every 2 minutes kinda ruined the visit. Still, I’d go back.

No atmosphere, the place is dead on a Friday night, the Karaoke was awful! Chef decided to close the kitchen early, so no food. Bar staff are rude and miserable, strong smell of Cannabis from smoking area. This used to be a busy lively pub, but appears there has recently been a change of management. Shame!! We’ll not be returning.

This place used to be brilliant and could always get great food and service. Came tonight tried to order food and was told that chef isn’t cooking even though supposed to be open until 8pm?? Place is full of kids, and no atmosphere. Feels like the soul has been sucked out of the place. So sad as we are regulars as have our offices across the road. Sort it out please!! We used to love this place… Friday night and it’s dead!

I’ve never been so disappointed receiving this dish called ‘loaded chicken Goujons’. Theres nothing loaded about it. It was in fact the most plain, driest meal I’ve seen. I would compare this to a kids play area lunch menu. Absolutely gutted to choose this as my lunch option on a Friday work lunch. Nothing more embarrassing then feeling like a kid at the dinner table. 1/5, wouldn’t return.

I'm impressed. It's had some good improvements and service is impeccable. The staff were all friendly and coped well with the amount of people. The band was even pretty good. 10/10 to go to with friends for a good night out.

Since change of management this place is dramatically changed, staff members this evening were drinking behind bar while serving customers and absolutely no atmosphere. I’m sure a few members of staff had already been drinking before starting their shift. I waited over 10 minutes to be served a drink as nobody was stood at the bar and there wasn’t anyone else in here. Bar staff wearing caps inside and very unpolite. As we WERE regulars of this pub. we will now not be returning.

We had a party booking here. The cost of hiring the room was a very good price. The room is just the right size and beautifully decorated. Was very easy to book and communication was great. They cater but the food was amazing. Extremely tasty. The ladies we dealt with on the day were lovely and Gaby was brilliant. 4 stars but only because the cost of the drinks was a teeny bit pricey and there was not much parking, but there may be parking elsewhere within walking distance. Would definitely recommend this place and we will definitely be looking at booking this place for future gatherings.

I highly recommend visiting whether just for a few drinks or meals, the Sunday roasts are simply the best and great quality at a very reasonable price. Or if you’re looking for a private function room definitely check it out as the room has recently been decorated to a high standard and honestly the team take over and ensure you’re well looked after and all your needs are met. Huge thank you to Greta and all the team for making Grace’s day a memorable one 💗
