I don't want to be negative but the queueing system is absolutely awful, I just don't understand why you can't reintroduce the app for "at table orders", people queueing at the bar (and I mean a real queue, like school dinners) for ages while people decide what they want to eat while perusing the menu at the bar is crazy, especially when you have so many staff to tend to seated customers but you absolutely refuse to speed up the process in any way, quite happy to watch people who have difficulty standing to queue, people who might have invisible disabilities, embarrassed to speak out about their difficulties....you need to think of things a different way I think.

Bit out the way this place but is worth the trip as the carvery is a good one! They boast an impressive bar and friendly smiley staff working tables (that are nice and clean) It's always busy here and I think the competitive prices and novel cake stand are the main reasons for this. I had the carvery and to finish a not so modest slice of mars cake with custard. (This thing was huge coming in at just under 1600kcals) All in all a great family place or somewhere to head to for a cheap and plentiful meal with mates.

it's 5 star rating all the way. The food was hot, tasty and delicious. Shaks, the manager, leads by example because he works as hard as any of his staff. The whole place is very clean and tidy. Large family area keeps the kids happy. I would suggest, for value for money, this place can't be beat. I have just one suggestion...a separate till for people just wanting drinks, bit of a wait for drinks sometimes because some people ordering food can take ages. I am going to try using the app next time to see if that's any quicker.

Large bar area but have to queue at one till to be served even if your just wanting drinks and everyone else is ordering food! Better to order on the app! However, is only ordering drinks on the app, priority seems to be with those queuing at the bar! Waited 20 mins before going to ask for our drinks..... This is my local, if you take the lack of service out of the equation, then atmosphere, location etc are good.

Update: We went again today, despite not having been for a few years, because we had a miserable last turkey & tinsel Christmas Dinner with my mum, who passed 3 years ago, my partner and his parents, it really put us off, despite our previous good experience, the one bad one really was bad, service, all our meals, entertainment, there was nothing Christmasy about the turkey and tinsel meal that we decided to treat our parents too, which was made even sadder as it was my mums last Christmas with us. Today however, it was like a completely different place, we went for my husbands birthday, and this time it was really clean, all the staff were absolutely brilliant, the menu catered for all of us, the food was absolutely great, we all thoroughly enjoyed it, not one complaint, we will definitely go back and start recommending it to friends and family again. We are extremely pleased that my husband chose the Walnut Tree as his birthday dinner choice, today we were all very impressed, and it definitely deserves 5 stars again. Original: The Walnut Tree Farm is a clean, friendly place. Excellent food, including a small selection of vegetarian options. The food portions are large, in fact my partner and my mum order the fish platter and ended up taking quite a lot of theirs home. I'm vegetarian, there wasn't a huge choice, but I had mushroom pie, the filling was very nice but the pastry wasn't great, so I left it, the chips and mushy peas were very good We ordered giant eclairs to take away and were completely shocked when they weren't bakery size but easily a foot long, not fresh cream, they are filled with very sweet custard and synthetic cream, too much even for two people. Wheelchair accessible, don't know what the toilets are like, but I would imagine properly accessible, taking the whole venue into account. Some of the staff are great, very helpful, very chatty, some not so much, overall good experience, would definitely go back. Only disappointment was when we were given a receipt with an offer for mothers day, but you had to book online for the offer, unfortunately there were no bookings available throughout the website, neither could we book over the bar, apparently they can only book so many tables, then you have to turn up and take your chances. When you want to book for 2 wheelchair users, one of whom has dementia and Alzheimer's, and 2 able bodied, but not 100% fit in your party, it is difficult to just turn up and wait for a table, especially when its busy, not all tables are accessible, getting people to move once they're settled and eating is not fair. The Sat Nav on phone got a bit confused, but we found the Walnut tree eventually.

Me, my partner and 2 friends visited today, absolutely terrible. Started the visit of with someone elses Faeces on my hand when i used the toilet before going to eat. The food was terrible, 2 pieces of dry chicken, bacon was floppy, wet salad and dry chips. My partner had a “all day breakfast”, It was stone cold, mushrooms tasted like rubber. My friends got a carvary, They looked in the middle of the meet and it was pink, After eating basically all of the meat. The potatoes where rock hard and the stuffing was very salty. If i get food poisoning i wont be surprised. Should have just gone to mcdonalds.

We pop in here most days for a quick drink after work and the staff are always friendly. We have eaten here a few times too; there are QR codes at the table so you can order on your phone rather than go to the bar, and there's a good choice of food ranging from carvery to snacks. Everyone admires the cakes here and they're available to take home with you if you've eaten a bit too much at the carvery!

Sad lack of staff waited 20 mins just to order food, 1 person serving at the bar and about 10 people queuing, only one young lad serving at the carvery another queue, some of the vegetables had been sitting there way to long. That being said when I eventually got my food it was ok. Quite a few things missing off the menu, then another 20 wait for desserts….

Popped in for an unlimited breakfast with my brother and was greeted by a the shift manager (shaq I think his name is). He was a but standoffish but he seemed under pressure so I sort of ignored that first impression. We sat at our table and then approached the buffet bar to start our breakfast. Noone was there to give any instruction and no signage to advise so I reached over to the plates to grab us a couple of plates to which the manager approached and scolded me that "that's not how we do things here!" his justification was that he was understaffed. My response that if there was enough staff we wouldn't have had to help ourselves didn't go down too well by the look on his face. Me and my brother laughed it off and sat down to begin our breakfast. The food had clearly been left under the hot lamp for an excessive time as everything was dried out and tasteless. It was an all you can eat breakfast so we weren't expecting fine dinning but an acceptable standard would have been good. I approached for a second serving as I'm not the kind of guy to skimp out when unlimited food is available and a member of the kitchen team (he had red uniform on so I presume kitchen staff) was filling some takeaway boxes and I asked him if anyone could get one of those to which he said "yes ill grab you one shortly", with that the manager appeared as if from magic and asked "whats up?". I repeated my request for a takeaway box and he asked what for, I resisted the sarcastic response and stated I wished to take away the remainder of my breakfast and he told me "that's not how we do things here". With that I loaded my plate again and sat down and then witnessed the same manager constantly touching food with no gloves on and after every action he was wiping his hands up his backside (on top of his jeans not onto his actual backside skin) and then repeating the process. I saw him use the till multiple times and then revert back to the same process with the food area without washing or sanitising his hands, occasionally he used a tea towel that got slung back into a crevice after each wipe. I joked with my brother about recording it to show the world but I thought that fell into a Karen style attitude so we finished our plates and left to continue our days work. I've never had a great experience at the walnut tree but I still try to have an unbiased opinion with each visit to anywhere but that's 4 out of 4 visits that have been disappointing for me. Looks like the only thing worth going there for is the takeaway cake in a box that never disappoints except for the price increase over time (which is to be expected with inflation over the years).

Really convenient for onward travel to Southampton port, especially if you have an EV and want to charge up before you go on a cruise. Obviously, also useful if you don't have time to charge on the way out and want a fast charger before the journey home. We stopped for brunch before our holiday. We arrived at around 11:30, the car was fully charged (from under 30%) and we were fed and watered within the hour. Food was a pleasant surprise. Very good value, quick service and good quality for a Green King chain pub. Note, it is popular and was filling up quickly as we left. Next cruise, we will be back.

Went to Bradbeers Restaurant Saturday 12th October, the food was great, the service was great but that is where it ends. The Restaurant itself was like going into a works canteen, not comfy seating, cheap tables set out like a service station and zero atmosphere - no music just very very bland. You get the feeling it was OK 20 years ago but it is defiantly not OK now. It is for that reason alone l will not be returning.
