First time visiting and it will probably be the last. Food was lovely but the staff weren't that great. After trying to catch someone's eye (unsuccessfully) we went up to the bar to ask for our bill. It arrived and we asked if we could split it on 3 cards. That was met with a sigh and a comment that we would have to go up to the bar to do it. We did and after the bill was paid (with a small tip) got a " ok thats done". A " thanks for your custom, or see you soon, or take care goodnight" would have been nice !

Nice pub and the food was good, but they didn't have about 50% of the menu. Some items were marked with a red dot to say they didn't have them, so we chose from the remainder of the menu, but then they also didn't have half of the stuff we chose. A fair amount of the drinks were out too. Service was slow, even though the pub wasn't very busy.

Overall, pretty good. Main courses were great, as were the staff. Only downsides were burnt Cauliflower Wings starters and the price of drinks seemed overly expensive compared to similar pub/restaurants.

Sunday night, so quite quiet. Waiter attentive and polite. Felt sorry for him. So many things that we were on the menu turned out not to be available. What there was was okay, but nothing special.

Amazing service! We celebrated my dad’s 70th and his cancer-free news at the Wig and Walnut. The team couldn’t have been more accommodating and made our time at lunch so special. They even decorated the table with decorations and balloons I dropped off the day before. Brilliant team, great atmosphere, yummy food and lovely setting!

Thank you so much for this evening, unfortunately failed to get the name of our server but he literally could not have been more helpful or accommodating! I firstly tried to enter via the fire exit, he took this in his stride and let me in anyway! I asked for a table for three, which was fine. Except I had forgotten the “small people” and in fact had no idea who was actually coming! The table size eventually grew to 8, no problem! He even tried to help us find Wally in the Where’s Wally book!! Highly recommended.

Whilst it is our local pub in Grange Park, we haven't really used it much over the years, as it was a bit hit and miss. Decided to give it a go this evening for dinner with family. I was happily impressed. Service was prompt and friendly, the food across all the courses was well cooked and all came out nice and hot - which is something so many other places seem to struggle with. Lost one star because they had run out of Guinness.

As expected Xmas Eve was chaos, but hats off to the staff, after one of their own walked out leaving them seriously understaffed. Even with this shortage they still managed to cope with the chaos and although they missed one of our mains (only took 10 mins to rectify) the service provided was brilliant. Would thoroughly recommend and are definitely visiting again on New Years Eve. Many thanks to all there!

Greeted and seated immediately in a cosy spot. Dan knows we don't mind where we sit but placed us in a warm quiet spot. Drinks order taken and arrived quickly and were given enough time to look over the menu for our food choices. The food is always good here but this time it was spot on, I ordered the burger which I haven't had for a while and it was cooked to perfection. The onion rings were delicious and my husbands steak was cooked just as he would have had it at home. Didn't have room for a dessert this time but would recommend the W and W for couples, families, large groups as there is just such a good choice of food and drink. Staff are always really kind and helpful and know their regulars well too. They have quiz night and special offers on during the week and I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal here. You can also have a giggle with the staff but they are never anything but professional and courteous

We were unable to experience the wig and walnut as, although we had booked, the restauraunt did not have any space for our party. When we arrived, there was only a table in the bar, however we specifically booked for the lounge so that we could talk about finer wedding details. The host did not have a solution and just said the system did not show our booking so they did not reserve us a table. He said sorry and awkwardly just stood there, commenting that the same thing happened the day before. We obviously drove all the way there, hungry but excited, with a fussy child too, for us to be turned away from our booking and had to go somewhere else instead. Please sort out the system so this doesn't happen to others. Really disappointed.

Hadn't booked but taken to table straight away, one a short walking distance as we are disabled so very considerate of our needs. Server is kind and friendly and always treats us like family. Drinks order taken quickly and gave us time to review the menu before coming to take our order. Was also happy to discuss any special requirements needed by my husband .Ordered our food and it came out pretty quickly even though it was very busy. My mixed grill couldn't have been cooked more to perfection, tender juicy pink steak, slight char on the lamb chop edge just as I like it. Husband had the sea bass and he said it was delicious, soft crushed potato with nice sauce and the fish just slid off the skin into manageable flakes. Both cleared our plates. Server checked on us twice but wasn't intrusive just friendly and funny. It's our fave local so will be back again soon
