Witham Tavern in Boston

Went for lunch .Ordered a mushroom pizza .Barman was really helpful throughout our visit and told us about their deals available ...The mushroom pizza was well presented and tasted delicious .Will definitely be going back .

Lovely place,but should have bar meals and Sunday dinners.I had a steak very nice,but the presentation was awful,should have a side salad with it. A steak meal should have grilled tomatoes and mushrooms, with chips,they must change their service, or they will lose a lot of customers.

Booked a table at the bar on the Tuesday for Saturday, on arrival no table booked, owner couldn't care less, she eventually offered a small table next to the bar which I declined I was then offered another table in the conservatory, I went up to the bar as all the waitresses were too busy to make eye contact and waited for fifteen minutes being ignored so I paid for my drink ( first one ) and left. A lot of money spent on the refurbishment which will go to waste unless they up their game.

You need to abide by the law. You run a licenced premises so you DO NOT charge for water. Thumbs up to those who reported this. £1.20 for tap water is a disgrace. Even 20p may be appropriate but any thingvover is taking :"'z

Food was good,as usual. manager needs a lesson in people management, too brusk. We have been coming to this venue for years but could be one more visit just to check if we got it right. ............

Sad to write this but the only way I can compare food served at this establishment is a quality of Iceland ready meal. The staff is not interested if you walked in , the manager is the rudest person you ever meet in Boston possibly in Lincolnshire. The deco makes you feel like you are sitting in a charity shop . I would strongly give it a miss ..

I made a rather short notice booking for father's day for three adults and two children to which the staff were very patient and accommodating for my plethora of questions and associated gold fish memory. Parking was sufficient although owners of larger vehicles should expect a challenge. The environment was as expected for this type of establishment which was perfect. I had family with us from America and wanted to provide an authentic Great British carvery experience, rather than a commercial look like other carvery chains. I had to double check my receipt when I got home to check if I had been undercharged. 5x carvery and associated drinks came to under £40. A dessert was also incorporated into the price of the carvery, which was a pleasant surprise. As to the quality of the roast, my wife is not qualified to answer considering she is a chef at a large holiday location in the area. She insisted that I write a review here as chefs/establishments thrive on such customer feedback. She was impressed by the quality of the meats, temperature of the side dishes and flavor of the gravy. I was happy to find a dining establishments that keeps a chef wife happy (really difficult). The part that I found truly magical was the free desert. I was not expecting much but ordered the treacle sponge with custard. The first bite I took left me confused wondering if I had eaten anything. The sponge was so light and delicate that it literally dissolved on my tongue. A remarkable sensation that I made my wife assess. Her response was that they usually charge high price for that quality and yet this was provided as a free component of the carvery. It was a truly enjoyable lunch time that resulted in my American family experiencing a good example of British tradition along with an enjoyable fathers Day.

Every time you challenge my review, I shall repost it ! This is a honest review on my experience!! Over cooked food on both visits. Over cooked steak, over cooked sunday roast. Well done roast beef, veg boiled to tasteless mush, tasted like deep fried or packet roast potatoes?? Did not feel it was worth the 6.95 even with the free pudding... Awful!! Dated decor and rude owner, won't be back !! Such a shame as great location and could be a really nice place.

Haven’t been here in years was recommended by my brother, food was lovely and not overpriced staff were very helpful and good with kids. Will visit again soon definitely

Over cooked food on both visits.

Visited in February just got around to a TripAdvisor review as gorgot at the time..

Christine and the team are always very welcoming and the carvery was brilliant as usual...nice crispy roasties and the beef ,pork and turkey, as usual where melt in your mouth. We tried the malcolm arms and goodbarns, both where dissapointing. So we have returned to the witham tavern... its just a shame that they dont do stuffing balls. Mark and charmaine

My daughter and I had a lovely meal here.. prime time for us and gorgeous food.. excellent service and booked for a birthday party !! Lovely comfortable surroundings... and felt so at home here!! Can imagine a summers night here by the river! Visit and try ! 👍👏

After many visits to this pub ive decided to write a review. I can honestly say ive never had a bad meal here and the staff are always great overall its great value for money. See you again soon

Went to the 'Witham Tavern' for Carvery on 14th April as usual the food was lovely, good service and friendly staff. I have never had a bad meal here whether with family or friends. The buffet served after the funeral of my husband in 2014 was second to none. Hope to see you again soon

It must have been the worst pub I’ve been to in my entire life! The food was dreadful, staff were ignorant and the manager was insanely rude when my i told her about a concern I had with my food! The drinks we had were not only flat, but also warm and the table we sat at was not clean, nor was the majority of the building. I would not recommend to anyone and will not be visiting again!

Lovely family meal all enjoyed good food good service very busy but not rushed well done all see you soon

The food was dreadful. We used to visit this pub regularly but it has changed hands & the Polish chef has left. Will not be visiting again

Me and my partner regularly visit on Fridays (Italian nights) and it’s a bargain! Any 2 meals and a bottle of wine... £20!!

This was our first visit to the Witham Tavern, very nice Sunday carvery. Staff were very friendly. Highly recommended.

Really good value carvery with friendly staff, nicely cooked meat and vegetables. Highly recommended and you could never go it for this price at home - 2 courses for £6.95

Very nice Sunday carvery with a dessert staff always nice and attentive and the price is great 695 that's six pound ninety five war value

Lovely meal food excellent and very well presented staff happy and chatty fish very good and batter nice and lightly done good night had by all

On Sunday the 1st of July I visited Boston to celebrate the birthday of my elderly grandmother. As the sun was shining we chose to sit in the beer garden at the back of the pub and my grandmother positioned her scooter at the table to share a drink with my father and I. Unfortunately, a gust of wind picked up the umbrella from the centre of the table and lifted it into the air, smashing my grandmother in the face and causing her glasses to be knocked forcibly onto the floor where they became bent out of shape and significantly scratched. The umbrella itself landed inches from customers cars parked in the pubs car park. Both staff and customers witnessed this happen, however, only the other customers got to their feet and rushed to assist my grandmother and check on her welfare. Surprised by the disinterest of the staff stood watching, I took it upon myself to follow the staff inside and voice my disappointment. I spoke to a waitress at the bar in an extremely calm and polite manner, simply to say that I felt in a situation such as this, it would have been appreciated if a member of staff could have at least come over to see if my grandmother was alright (surely this is the most basic of customer care?) I also explained that I wanted to make sure the staff were aware of what had happened, in the hope that they would fix the umbrella and prevent a reoccurrence in future. I have to commend the waitress I spoke to, she kindly apologised and assured me that they would look into it. What a wonderful young lady, I considered the problem resolved. However, when she went to quickly update her manager I was suddenly face with an aggressive and hostile woman. She stood in my face and with a raised voice told me that I didn't need to tell her how to set up her umbrellas! Clearly this was an act of God! Gesticulating angrily I realised this woman was only going to be defensive and I politely excised myself from the confrontation and sat back down outside to finish my drink. My father, who had witnessed this angry and irate managers display left me with my grandmother and went to speak to the manager himself. He expressed his disappointment at the way I had been spoken to and the lack of care for my grandmother. The next thing I knew the manager had marched out to stand over me at the table and shout that my father had been threatening and that she would be phoning to police if we did not leave immediately. Sensing the escalation in the situation and refusing to allow my grandmother to experience any more stress or upset I made the decision to leave the pub.

Went for Sunday lunch with family, still celebrating my son's 21st, the food is brilliant, carvery, choice of two meats and a really good selection of vegetables. There is also a free dessert. Service is great, staff very friendly and helpful. Have also visited during the week, Steak night Thursday, cheaper than usual, they have the hot rock which is cooking your steak on a very hot plate to your liking (not advisable for well done steaks). All in all a very lovely place to dine.

Out of the way pub. Fantastic food with great service. Loads of choice on the menu fro. Steaks to pasta dishes. Something for everyone. Reasonable price too

Went for my friends 60th birthday she chose here because she has never had a bad meal here (her words). Never been before myself so was not sure what to expect. Do not be put off by the inside of the pub as we went on a cold wet night and there were not many people in there and it lacked atmosphere. The girls behind the bar and the waitresses were very polite and attentive. The food was excellant, hot and tasty and there were quite a few of us and all our meals came out together. I would definitely eat here again and i think if you visit in summer it would have a different feel as it is by the river and there are lots of boats moored there.

Popped in for a Sunday lunch. Don't know the area and just wanted a family friendly place to go. Staff were really welcoming, helpful and it was great for the kids because you can quickly go and serve yourself. It's cheap and cheerful but does exactly what it should!

Just had Sunday carvery before travelling back up North what can o say was absolutely magnificent hot and tasty and a free pud hats off to all staff

Bar staff very rude did not feel very welcome at all. Will not go back ever, prefer to drink beer at home

Quince de nosotros tuvimos un almuerzo de 2 platos, llamé a 1 hora de reservar para 1. 30 y estaban dispuesto a complacernos. Sin embargo, como estábamos en el Boston Belle acabo de regresar de un viaje a la lavar, nos retuvieron en el bloqueo, haciéndonos casi media hora tarde, pero resultó ser un problema y Christine nos saludó con una sonrisa amable. Por £6. 95 tuvimos una comida de 2 platos, que fue disfrutado por todo el grupo. Gracias.

Had a lovely Lunchtime Bar Meal / Gammon and chicken, lovely chunky chips. Staff friendly would definitely go again.

Fantastic food there was 8 of us none of us could fault a thing. Lovely friendly staff. V friendly place worth the visit. Steak on the rock is beautiful xx

we all went for sunday dinner all 17 of us the service was excellent the food was good everybody really enjoyed thank you to christine and all the staff see you soon

Carne es muy buena, pero nos quedamos bastante frío mientras come, estado dos veces, la primera vez fue mucho mejor.

Asador generoso de buena calidad a un precio muy razonable. Barato tonel y tanto el personal amable y excelente servicio. Volveré si estamos en Boston de nuevo.

Just eaten a sunday lunch that was very good. Well cooked beef and 2 different types of potato and 5 differing vegis. All nicely cooked and a real value for mony price. Vety friendly staff. My only reservation was only one yorkshireWell done

We were asked for Sunday lunch with some friends, we'll...IT was supposed to be a carvery, mmm, the mash tates looked like wallpaper paste, carrots and peas cold, roast tates you could have used em as bricks...shall I go on? No best not eh?

Really enjoyed our Sunday lunch which for a two course meal and drinks came to £16.10! Incredible value. A choice of three well cooked meats, as much roast potato and veg as you can eat plus a choice of four deserts. Very friendly service and a cracking lunch, see you next Sunday too!

Went to have a meal with friends before hitting the night life...yeah I know it's boston lolAnyway the food was quite good ..my friend had black rock steak it was delicious. ..my other friend had a chicken dish which was also good...me and another friend had lasagne. ..mine on the bottom was like cutting cardboard. ..but the rest was ok..Now drinks..We all wanted the same smirnoff ice...but they only had 2 bottles... and so we asked for wkd but only had one bottle..so we had those plus a archers. ..why are they not stocked up especially on a weekend. ... disappointed indeed..

Lovely Sunday carvery cooked to perfection and you get a free dessert,and very nice staff. Thursday nights steak night is the best steak I've ever tasted too and amazing value for money and the desserts on the menu are fantastic

Had an excellent meal on the 2 for 10 dinner time meals for myself and my 2 children. I can only say excellent food and plenty of it, best 2 for £10 in boston

I am writing this review not based on an actual visit but on the previous posters experience on trying to get their water bottles filled after having a meal at the tavern. This message is directly aimed at Christine the owner, I cannot believe your attitude in this matter and your arguments are pathetic, you're in the service industry darling and had an opportunity to provide a simple service to paying customers at virtually no cost to yourself or your business. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately your stupidity has gone viral and can now be found reposted on sites all over the internet. This at least allows others to be aware to steer well clear of your establishment. You really should learn some basic service skills or find another vocation.

Stopped here with a friend at mile 93 of a 150 mile bike ride. We ordered 2 vegetarian sausage lunches and 2 coffees but when we asked politely to have our water bottles filled up we were told there would be a charge of £1.20 per bottle as thats what they charge for a glass of tap water. As a pub with an alcohol license, this is a breach of the licensing act as they are legally required to provide free tap water to combat the effects of drinking. They can't even claim a service charge for the glasses because we were asking for our own bottles to be filled. We will be contacting the local authorities to report this and hope that they are taken more seriously than we were... On the bright side, the chips were delicious and the vegetarian sausages not bad either!

Were looking for a nice place to take friends up from Buckinghamshire for the weekend for Sunday lunch, loved the look of the location here so rang to see if they offered Sunday lunch and was happy to hear yes they do and served until 2.30pm giving us time to do some local shopping.We got a very friendly welcome and as we were late diners the carvery only had two choices beef and turkey but the beef I had was tender and well cooked the vegetables offered were also fresh and appetising.After the main course we were offered pudding by a very friendly waitress - all the staff were friendly I must say - and the treacle sponge was wonderful the waitress told us that a member of staff makes many of the puddings herself.All in all a very nice meal and the drinks were a good price as well.

A friendly and welcoming public house and restaurant at reasonable priced meals. Sunday Lunches are fantastic value for money with a free dessert.

Have just visited The Witham Tavern for Easter Sunday Roast it was excellent. Choice of meats and veg as much as you want and dessert and drinks for 2. Cannot believe how cheap this whole meal was well under £15. Atmosphere is very cosy and staff polite. Thankyou we will return.

We dined with a large party a few months ago. Whilst the chefs did a good job getting the food to the table quickly, the quality of the meals and lack of customer service let the place down. The venue has loads of potential by the river but I won't be visiting again.

Went last weekend for a birthday meal. Staff were polite and the food was good.Would definitely recommend the steak on the stone!

This is the second time we have visited this pub and cannot complain about a thing, friendly staff made us feel welcome from the minute we walked in. Sunday roast is spot on different veg and meat to choose from. We have a 18 month old daughter and they said a kids meal would be to much for her so offered to put more on our plate for her free of charge. Great service great food can't wait to book again Sunday

This was the second year we booked for Christmas eve lunch. Good selection on the menu and because there were 24 in our group we were asked to pre order. Not a problem just to ensure that no one was disappointed. We were aware that the food couldnt be served all at once due to the size of our group and every body asking for different meals. We have a wheel chair user amoungst us which the owner Christine had been advised and on arrival i was advised that the patio doors had been unlocked and a place set nearby for convieniance. We were given a room at the back for our own use and to be honest we were a bit noisy. Food was served and was to a good standard with good servings. Everyone enjoyed themselves and im looking forward to eating there again next year

We had decided to start our Xmas party drinks in the Witham Tavern due to it's accessible location. Wish we hadn't...Drinks were poor quality, the venue itsself wasn't very tidy & the tables were incredibly sticky.Worst of all was the service, uninterested & unfriendly. A staff member clocked me at the bar waiting, glared at me & walked away. When we went to leave we said 'thanks, goodnight' & didn't even get a response.This used to be a bustling & lively venue, what has happened...wont be returning

Where to start! Service was slow and unfriendly, food was mediocre at best. Why 2 stars? Because the beer was drinkable.Used to be a good restaurant, now it is terrible, avoid!

for my birthday recently my husband took me and two friends to the Witham Tavern for an evening meal. We were told that Tuesday was a very quiet night, and only a handful of other diners were eating but it didnt bother us at all. We were looked after by a very pleasant young lady who attended us very courteously. We ordered our main course, skipping the starters altogether. As you get older, your appetite is not so robust, and we hoped then we might make room for a dessert. Very pleasant music played, and was nicely set at a volume over which we were able to chat without missing out on conversation which is often the case in some restaurants. The decor is very easy on the eye and most comfortable dining chairs to sit on. I had established that there was a choice of vegetarian dishes available as both my husband and friend do not eat meat. They were spoiled with half a dozen choices but was assured by Christine, the owner that her chef could accomodate any request within reason!. My husband chose mushroom stroganoff, and our friend, vegetarian lasagne. Her meal was accompanied with chips and salad. My husbands stroganoff came with a nicely placed dome of rice, and salad garnish. Our other friend and I chose a steak, his being accompanied with chips onion rings, and mushroom. As i do not like mushrooms I had peas instead along with chips which were beautifully crisp and dry, and the best onion rings I have ever had!!!! There were four very clean plates at the end of our main course, and we each said how good our meal had been. We checked out the dessert menu, and although I never normally have sweets, I opted for the sticky toffee pudding with custard. Our friends both had the Tenessee ice cream pie with pouring cream ( there was a choice of whipped or even ice cream! ) and my husband had a calypso coffee. He had to help me out with the pudding though as it was a generous portion served with a copious amount of custard.the only reason I have not rated this meal with 5 stars is that I had selected the Masala cream sauce to accompany my steak, but it was not available owing to not having the wine, but apart from that we were very pleased with the whole meal. Thare are some rumours circulating that the Witham Tavern is closing down. This in my opinion has probably been started by a disgruntled competitor. I do know that Christine has made plans for her future retirement but she assured us that she is most certainly not clsing down and I would strongly recommend you to try here for a meal and judge for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Thank you also Christine for my birthday treat!! We look forward to seeing you on the 11th October for Sunday carvery. I cant wait!!

Book in advance if you can for this is a very popular Sunday carvery. Its popular because its one of the best meals I have ever eaten. Top class service even though it was very busy. First class.

Fantastic place to eat and drink! Warm friendly environment, staff helpful and nothing but polite! Couldnt fault a thing!! Will be returning here lots!!

I work at the witham tavern and i was working 7/9/15The landlady was not working or on the premises that evening and I happened to get numerous compliments about food and especially the cask ale.

Rubbish landlady rude and food not so cleaver felt sorry for the staff being shouted at does the women know customers can here her from the kitchen

We've just got home from visiting the Witham Tavern and I must say the food is so tasty! My partner and I had surf and turf...the steak was so tender..the sauce...delicious. Great selection of desserts! It was a lovely surprise!! Good value for money!!The staff were really friendly and food was served in good time. Overall a lovely meal out with the family! Thanks to all the staff!

Went for a Sunday carvery - it was advertised at £5.95 with a free desert - can't be bad !There was 4 choices of veg and 2 types of potatoes 3 meats on offer all of which was cooked very well but it must be said that the gravy was absolutely out of this world made the meal - it was just like a proper home cooked meal your mum used to make. Plenty of selections for puddings with generous potions will definitely return. Great value for money and a lovely Sunday roast !

Having come here as a large group of friends to have some good food and a fun time, we were amazed by the service and even more so by the food. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food comes in great portions, and is of fantastic quality. I would definitely recommend a visit. We will most definitely be coming again, and soon!!

We went in a huge group for a friends party, the food was good, the server was lovely, extremely friendly & her service was great. Our friend was given their meal free as it was his birthday & we also recieved some free shots & were well looked after. The only thing that lets this place down is the owner...She can be very blunt & it comes across as extremely rude in some cases. This lets the place down a little but other than that lovely. Good decor, nice food & clean areas including the loos.

A rather tied hostelry that is working hard to do it's best with it's given resources - BUT wow! the home made beef pie was "outstanding" - I honestly cannot remember the last time I had such a well cooked dish - 10 out of 10!

Four of us visited for a Sunday Carvery. It was well cooked with a good choice of meat and fresh vegetables. Sweet included - at £5.95 per head good value! Some good real ale too! Afterwards although our planned boat trip had been cancelled, we took a pleasant stroll, almost to Anton's Gowt.

Booked a table for 14 of us, all the meals were amazing and the service was very good too. Definately the best steak i've had. We will definately be visiting again :-)

We had booked a family meal for 10 for Easter Sunday. We arrived only to find we were not sat together but had separate tables of 5. I explained to the owner that we assumed we would have been sat together. She got very irate insisting that they have no time to accommodate such large bookings as it wasn't set up for functions. I again explained this was just a 'family' meal to which she then suggested we go elsewhere if we wasn't happy. I explained we don't feel as though we should as after all we booked 'a table' for 10 but now it feels we were not out together as we were having to sit apart. She flared up in anger and stormed off. I've never experienced such an unbelievable attitude before ever in any eating establishment. In the end we noticed another group of unhappy customers who were split over 3 tables moving their tables together themselves. We also did this (why they never did this is beyond me). Carvery was ok, custard on the puddings was watery. Overall service from younger staff was very professional... maybe the owner should follow their example!

This has to be the best value Sunday Lunch anywhere, £5.95 for two courses! Plus its very good, real roast potatoes (not deep fried), good quality meat, and plenty of veg. It was packed which is hardly surprising, so would advice booking. An additional bonus excellent riverside walks, just outside.

Came here last night for one of their lovely steaks I have been here a few times now, I am addicted to their steaks on volcanic rock its highly recommended, Have also been to the sunday carvery that too is very good, the meals are always plentiful, taste delicious and the staff are all lovely and always helpful and friendly, i am going back again next week with some work colleagues, :)

Had a takeaway from the Witham Tavern and I must say it was excellent, we had two chicken dishes with sauces (cremma and pizzailoa), chips and salad for £15. Great value for money, and would highly recommend.

My husband and I went for a lovely meal tonight. It is the fifth time we have been for a meal since last June. Each time with different people. I must say every time has been excellent. Food is beautifully cooked and presented. Atmosphere is lovely. Good decor very clean Staff are all lovely people Service is brilliant They can't do enough for you Can't fault it all The steak on the rock is my favourite. Have it every time. Will def be back.Well done to the lovely landlady Chris and her staff xxxxx

We had the Witham Tavern's recent Advert for this service brought to our notice and called in and booked their standard buffet for twenty people.We were extremely pleased with the quality and quantity of the wide selection of ham, beef, chicken and egg mayo rolls, a large vegetable quiche, lemon chicken strips, savoury chicken skewers with dips, vegetable spring rolls, fried scampi, cheese puffs, sausage rolls, crab sticks, etc.These were presented around a central array of fresh strawberries, grapes, pineapple strips and cheese arranged decoratively around the empty shell of the pineapple.There was plenty for everyone and a little left over and all of this was laid on for the very, very reasonable rate of £5 per head. Well Done Witham Tavern.

Yesterday - 9 December 2014. I had lunch with my wife and Granddaughter. By chance met with the owner and found her to be a charming lady. Very willing to chat and explain things. Bar staff (Dianne) equally forthcoming with information. Very attentive. We three enjoyed our lunches and the price was very good. Menu quite varied in offering and price. Beer well kept. Unfortunately web site not yet functioning. Will be going back without doubt. Recommended for couples, family and groups.Location by the side of the river Witham so a walk before or after lunch is to hand.

Took the family for my daughters 18th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed it, meal was excellent, service second to none, great atmosphere. Definately recommend it :)

The Witham Tavern provides an excellent setting and atmosphere for families or couples! Having dined on a few occasions I can say that the food is amazing! The hot rock steak is my fave, and a must try for me! The starters are always so tasty and well presented all home made same goes for desserts! With the pub facing out into the river, it's lovely to have a drink outside on the seating area.. whilst you wait for your dinner to be served. Staff are always friendly and polite. A must go for me!

Having been to this pub/ restaurant many times with my partner and also our extended family, I must say that the food and service has always been exceptional. They are always welcoming and the food very good. The steak nights along with the other specials like the Italian nights( Friday) two meals plus a bottle of wine for £20 are value for money. We will continue going there for many more happy times, well worth a visit, the pub overlooks the marina and on a sunny day it's like being at a seaside retreat. Well worth a visit

My partner had been given a voucher to spend in the pub as birthday present so we decided to try the steak night. The pub wasn't very busy and we were quickly shown to a table after brandishing the gift voucher. The young waitress was either new or just inexperienced but pleasant. I ordered a pint of cask beer and my better half had slimline tonic, the beer was excellent and excellent value at £2.50 for the pint. We placed our food order, I requested garlic mushrooms in a creamy sauce and my better half had the prawn cocktail, both enormous and good value at £3.95. My partner ordered the turf and surf and I the 10 oz rump steak. Both steaks were cooked to our liking but mine was chewy and my partner's was tough and after a struggle left most of it. The landlady asked re the steak and went to the kitchen to try it herself, she agreed that it was sinewy and hard to cut. We were not charged for that steak and then we went for a stroll along the riverside. This was our third visit here and it proved to be the worst, but we hope for better if we call again.

OK food much of muchness .I have heard sunday lunch very good but not tried it. it was empty when I visited but I hear it is lively in evenings

Two soups ordered and sent back as they were almost solid. Main courses were ok but had obviously been pre cooked and re heated. "Chef" was new , 1st day, but one wonders if he had ever seen soup before. Room was empty apart from us, a sign to the landlady maybe that all is not as it should be ?

After a lovely walk by the riverbank supper here was brilliant. Not knowing the local beer we were offered a little of each to try before deciding and it was great. Wonderful moist crisp fish and chips outside watching the world go by served by happy and efficient staff. Even the dog had ice cubes in his water bowl! Can't wait to return.

Having been before and was not impressed we thought we would try it again as they had a new chef, my husband had the special rump steak at £7.95 it was the best he's had for a long time and I can say the same about my chicken. We have also had Sunday lunch there at £5.95 great value for money.

This was such a disappointment, the menu is so boring....the service is robotic and the atmosphere is cold and unfriendly. What a shame such promise, right next to the river, desperately needs an injection of new life

Having not been to the pub for a few years I decided to give it a try after hearing good things around town. I decided to try the Black Rock Grill which was fantastic and I would defiantly recommend it to anyone who loves eating steak. It was also refreshing to see a pub selling locally brewed cask beer instead off all the usual brands. The staff were also very friendly and professional. We will defiantly be visiting the pub again.

We were out to celebrate a birthday with a quiet meal. The birthday girl and myself had garlic mushrooms, served on a slice of toasted ciabatta and my better half had a prawn cocktail, served on a small slice of bread. All three starters were nice. I ordered the steak and ale pie, my partner had the special of pork with a pesto crust and the birthday girl had chicken a la crème. My pie was a tad small and slightly overcooked but the chips and the presentation were very good. My partner's pork was very rich but nice and the chicken was good too.My pint of cask beer was excellent and the service was very attentive too.
