Bardon Hill, England
The staff were very friendly. I was impressed with the vegan options. But was very disappointed when I ordered the vegan roast. The food was nice but I've seen larger child's portions. When the waiter asked if everything was okay, I said it was disappointed, he went away and didn't come back. The rest of our group got proper adult portions. Needless to say I wasn't very happy. Shame as it is a nice venue.

155 Spalding Rd, EnglandSeems very quiet and uninviting since the Assistant Manager left to run her own pub. I would travel to her new pub but its 80 miles away! There's no conversation or interaction from staff, no engagement, just a very quiet sterile atmosphere in the bar area. Sure food is great but I visit for a pub experience not restaurant.

Hill Rise, EnglandWe enjoyed drinks in the May sunshine whilst perusing the Sunday menu before moving to our table. First courses were very good. Disappointingly, much of the wine list was not available, but what we were able to selected was good and fairly priced. The Pork Belly was most enjoyable, as was the Yorkshire Pudding, but the accompanying vegetables were overcooked and unpleasant. My wife’s Scampi was also very good but the plate, piled high with food, was somewhat off-putting. We prioritise quality more than quantity. Puddings were not sampled. Total cost for three was £130 including wine and pre lunch drinks. Service, sadly, was not the best and we departed with little incentive to rush back. We hope it improves.

4 Barrow Road,, EnglandI just popped in here for a pint after a long walk. Very good barman, excellent ham cob for only £2.50! The regulars were really friendly and helpful too.

343 Ashgate Road, EnglandMy friend and I booked a table here a couple of days ago. It was a surreal experience. We were shown to our table by a lovely, friendly lady. She asked what we wanted to drink and we both asked for a glass of wine. She then asked us to pay for it before she brought it to the table. To say the least, we were surprised. The reason she gave was that some people had left without paying. The pub was virtually empty and I'm sure we were observed hobbling in. I am a few months short of 80 and partially disabled and my friend is well in her seventies and was struggling to walk in heels 🤣. If we had tried to do a runner, a brisk walk would have been all it would have taken to stop us. The same happened with the food, we had to pay for it before we received it. On reflection, we did find this treatment a little insulting. If the place had been busy, we could have understood but there were only 3 men having a drink. There was no way two geriatrics could have escaped. Having said that, the food was lovely. We both had pies and fresh vegetables. Our young waitress was absolutely lovely. Before we left, I went to the bar to get change to leave a tip.for her. I spoke to the new owners and they are a lovely, enthusiastic young couple. I spoke to my friend when we got home and we have mixed feelings about going back. Lovely food, lovely people but not sure about being asked, at our table to pay for drinks and then again for food before we'd even seen it. 2 old ladies who can barely walk, in an empty pub! Perhaps you should be a little more discerning . Otherwise, you seem to have got it right.
