  “I have been to The Auctioneer several times and I have always enjoyed the food, the service, and the thriving atmosphere but, and there always can be a but....... on the evening of 08/08/26 I arrived with my partner because I had booked a table for 18.30. We were shown to a table. Within 5 minutes a waiter in an Hawaiian printed shirt asked if we were ready to order.The answer was clearly no. Another waitress came to the table 5 minutes later and asked the same question. I was ready to order. The food arrived very quickly but it was not what I had ordered. The mistake was rectified. Unfortunately this time around I thought that the menu was not as varied as in the past but, pizzas, burgers, nachos, wings? were plentiful on the menu, but that was it. The young waitress placed the meal on the table, said enjoy and walked off. I ordered a sweet to share and that arrived very quickly and it was quickly placed on the table. In summary, it was very rushed and the service staff all seemed to be busy( I think). For the main course we added steak fries chips?.Sadly when they arrived many had fallen out of the dish and were presented with several chips lying on the plate. (oh well, perhaps my expectations were too high but, taking into account, the price of the meal, the service, and the menu, it all just seemed slapdash and perhaps passed it,s sell by date.”

  “Such a lovely place. Their bbq & buffalo wings were delightful, we also had the loaded fries with pork which was good but a little dry, not a problem though, easy to just ask for some sauce from the lovely and attentive staff. The desserts were absolutely heavenly, we very much enjoyed the cheesecake & pavlova. Mango daquiri is a 10/10, would happily drink 10 of those. lovely decor, intimate lighting and good music.”

  “A fantastic pub and restaurant. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and very accommodating to look after my birthday for my family. The menu was a real delight because the wings read as so appetising and the whole menu was not just another menu. Instead, it was a menu with great explanations that made you feel like they really cared about their food. They did! And did not disappoint. The wings were possibly the best I have ever had. Especially the buffalo wings. Exceptional. We then moved outside and it was a lovely quirky space with heaters for when it is cold. Overall, a great place and we’d definitely go back for the Sunday night special of wings.”

  “Updated Review - 4/28/26: I went back to the Old Auctioneer with a group of people from the office. There were about 18 of us. We reserved the room upstairs. It was great! The food was delicious! We all shared the chicken wings for an appetizer. I think I could have eaten 50 of them. There were the best chicken wings I have ever eaten!!! Then I had the chicken kabobs with a house salad. Incredible! The lemonade was also delicious. The best part of the night was the service. Even with a large group, they were fast, friendly, and helpful. Once again, I highly recommend the Old Auctioneer! ------- What a great place! The history alone is enough to bring you to the Old Auctioneer! The service is fast, friendly, and helpful. I was by myself and the restaurant was very crowded... but they found me a table. The food was incredible! The Dough Balls are addicting! I couldn't stop eating them. The Chicken Schnitzel Caesar Salad was the BEST Caesar salad I have ever eaten. WOW! I am here from the US and people at the office recommended I go to the Old Auctioneer... Now I know why! I highly recommend going!!! It is worth it!”

  “A fantastic place, with friendly service, Judyta 👍 character and atmosphere. Greeted by a polite and friendly guy at the door, the whole place oozes great cosy pub vibes. The food is incredible, my favourite are the pizzas and chicken wings ( they live up to the hype).”

  “The Old Auctioneer surprised from the outset, and continued to surprise me. The space: Thought it was going to be small as it's a very old pub - it really wasn't. There's a large outdoor seating area that's pretty and lights up at night, and indoors there's plenty of room, with the insides decorated tastefully with bits from old forts, Spanish galleons, and wooden ammunition crates. The food and drink: Good size menu, you're bound to find something you like. The food was very nice - everything is slightly nicer than you'd expect from a pub, and it's all like that. Did I mention they do chicken wings by the kilo? The service: Pleasant - the staff are friendly and attentive, although in busy periods you can be waiting a while for drinks to arrive (big place, not so big bar space). Also seems well organised too, staff communicate with each other, which is nice. Overall, this place clearly has a belief that runs through the whole business - add details and small improvements to every aspect of the pub, and it all adds up to a great experience. It's a top notch pub. 👌”
