  “George and Sarah are wonderful and made us feel so welcome. The food was excellent but the service and lovely conversation will keep us coming back. We ordered the veggie burger and extra fries and 3 glasses of Merlot wine. Thank you so much, Sharan xxx”

  “Decided to visit the Ye Olde Saracen’s Head for my daughters 9th birthday. Lady behind the bar was rude, I asked for some menus and she said “Offers finish in 9 mins” not welcome, how are you not very polite what so ever. When we sat down the area smelt very odd like someone’s not cleaned the filters out on their vacuum cleaner. I ordered the following food, a cheese burger, meat feast pizza and two sides of onion rings and skin on chunky fries. To say we were disappointed is an understatement! Fries and onion rings were cold (Genuinely looked old and re-heated) the pizza was awful! You can buy better from Iceland! Very dry with no toppings, just dreadful! With drinks the total was £62.71p horrible experience! When the lady came over to ask if everything was ok, we politely told her how bad things were, I offered her a chip and she said “ Yes, they are cold aren’t they and not nice” To be honest she was lovely and very helpful and replaced the Onion rings and chips. All in all the food was awful, that’s being kind, genuinely feel robbed! Please think twice about going! To be honest, I didn’t expect anything other than the pathetic, lame excuse for an apology! Another generic comment, contempt for the paying customer! Rest assured we will never come back!”

  “A huge shoutout to Georgina, our wonderful waitress this evening! She was absolutely brilliant from start to finish, super attentive, genuinely helpful, friendly and made us feel really well looked after throughout the evening. The service was fantastic, the food was lovely as always, and Georgina was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble, smiley, and she had such a lovely, genuine manner. And of course, I have to mention the Sonic tattoo — absolutely loved it! 💙🦔 It’s those little personal touches and people like Georgina that make you want to come back. Great food, great atmosphere and exceptional service. Please pass on our thanks to Georgina — she is an absolute credit to the team! ❤️ We’ll definitely be back! 4 card playing lunatics (who had the bottle card ?!?!)”

  “Very poor. Service slow and unhelpful Roast dinner would not be served to my dog and the chef should be embarrassed to allow it to leave the kitchen. Meal was refunded but we were charged £7 for two soft drinks that would not have been purchased had we not visited the pub to eat. Could not fill out the section below of which food you would recommend as I would not recommend visiting here.”

  “Visited for dinner and had a fantastic meal. The food arrived piping hot, and we ordered the pie and the steak. Both were cooked perfectly, and the chips were especially delicious. The portion of vegetables was generous too. The service was prompt, professional, and friendly. A special thank you to our server, Alex, for making our visit even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!”

  “Lovely pub in a nice setting but food was not the standard expected for the price. Ordered steak medium and it came well done, was a bit chewy. Came with half a mushroom which feels like penny pinching for a £24 meal. No one came back to check on us. Would come back for a drink only”

  “Popped into the Saracen's Head for a quick bite to eat with my hubby! Greeted with a smile and seated in a light bright window area. The menu has changed since our last visit but has plenty of choice and lots of tasty sounding options. I went for the lamb shank and he had fish and chips. Meals arrived within about 10 minutes, nice hot plates and hot food. The meat fell off the bone and was really tasty, delicious light crispy batter on the fish and chips were really lovely. Couldn't fit a pudding in unfortunately. Drinks are a little pricey but overall the bill was as expected. Had a nice chat with Jan the manager who has recently taken over and the place certainly seems more together than the last time we visited. We'll definitely be back again as we thoroughly enjoyed the hour we spent there. Jan also explained that if we sign in on there website we'll get regular vouchers giving discounts on food which I did when I got home and I've already received a code for 40% off!”

  “Came here for my Sister’s birthday. It was a good time. Very busy restaurant. I ordered a award winning steak pie. It wasn’t on the menu but I saw it on the website and asked if they had it and they did. It was really good. Pastry was lovely. I also had pate with toasted bread. Very nice. I had a passion fruit mocktail. It came with a shot and I didn’t know what it was. It was procecco. The manager said it was 0% alcohol Prosecco. The ceiling is very low so be careful if you’re tall. We also had a 40% off main course after signing up on the website.”

  “Dav was superb and incredibly kind. I had booked a dog-friendly table for three, but when making the reservation, I wasn’t able to mention that we had a 92-year-old lady with a zimmer frame, so high seats would have been very difficult for her. Dav immediately understood and quickly set up a low table for us, which was fantastic! Daisy, Becky, and Avangeline were also wonderful, helping us with food and drinks and making sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing. I had the steak, my partner had what he called the best ever pub pie created by Tom Shepherd, and we also had the salmon, everything was delicious. The only small disappointment was that there were no dog treats left as the earlier dogs had already enjoyed them all. Still, the service and thoughtfulness throughout made the whole experience feel above five stars.”
