  “Well what can I say, absolutely brilliant place and very accommodating. I was working in the area and the manager Sam, was extremely helpful. In return, the few of us that worked had food at various times throughout the day and never had a problem. Great food, great staff and great atmosphere. I will be back.”

  “Popped in for lunch today and an amazing young man discussed the menu in full, with great knowledge. He recommended a dish according to my needs (small, tasty and fulfilling) was courteous, engaging, smiling and delivered the food promptly. Joe M is quite frankly a credit to you. Thank you”

  “The Ridgeway Tavern is an excellent dining experience for all groups. Treated my brothers to a gorgeous steak dinner, and the service was immaculate. Did not have to wait long, and for the quality of the food, you would be shocked at how fast the service was. A large thank you to Mr Leo who served us, a polite young gentleman that reminds me of myself! Will definetely go again. 10/10 experience.”

  “Great drinks, great food, fantastic vibe. Exactly what a proper pub should feel like. Big shoutout to Joe M on the bar, his service was outstanding and he was so welcoming to me and my friends. You could tell he takes real pride in looking after his customers. People like Joe are what make a pub memorable. Definitely recommend getting a drink or meal here!”

  “The place itself is what you would expect from a pub — it serves a good variety of drinks at reasonable prices, and the food is okay, just normal pub food. The issue I had was during my first visit here with work colleagues to celebrate a 50th birthday. Everyone in the group was over 20, yet my 20-year-old daughter was refused alcohol because her ID was an EU identity card rather than a British/eu passport or driving licence. This same ID has been accepted all around the UK and worldwide without any issues and used for travel. At The Ridgeway, however, we were told they could not accept it because they were unable to verify whether it was real, while other people were not even asked for ID or had their documents checked properly. If there had been a scanner in place and every customer had been required to scan their IDgir authentication proposes I could have understood their argument. Sadly, that was not the case. Other customers simply showed their ID and were served, while we were singled out. It felt like outright discrimination based on an EU national document being presented. As her mother, I spoke to the girl behind the bar and explained that this was the first time we had ever encountered this problem and have always used it at pubs,clubs and bars. It was extremely disappointing and completely spoiled what should have been a good night of celebrations. Perhaps further staff training on recognising and verifying international identity documents would help avoid situations like this in the future I’m sure customers visiting the uk also will pop in or make it clear on your website what is and isn’t a valid document. But like I said I stand by my belief that it was based on her looking younger then 20! Sadly, we will not be returning.”

  “So chilled and welcoming, we booked for a family of 14 and the staff was so helpful. Thanks to Joe on the tills making our happy hour cocktails and Charlie serving us, even with our 4 kids running around getting in the way. We had a few trios and mixed grills which was so good. My sister had picky bits and the calamari and breaded mushrooms are definitely on my list to have again.”

  “Great service, Hannah was lovely, food and atmosphere is good, we were happy. They have specials. Food took a while to come but it was busy at the time, and was hot when it came out. Parking wasn’t difficult. The 40% offer on mains was good - remember to sign up and scan voucher coupon and collect your loyalty stamp if you want to come back. You can order from your phone. The burgers come with a good amount of meat inside. There was also a trivia that night that you can stay for but it goes on for a long time.”

  “Absolutely fantastic dining experience. From the moment the food arrived it was clear that a lot of care had gone into every dish. The flavours were incredibly well balanced, with each ingredient tasting fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The presentation was beautiful without feeling overly complicated, and everything tasted as good as it looked. What really stood out was the quality of the cooking, every element on the plate felt intentional. The seasoning was spot on, the textures worked perfectly together, and you could tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they produce. It’s the kind of food that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite. If you’re someone who goes out primarily for great food, this place absolutely delivers. I’d happily return again and again just to try more of the menu. Highly recommended.”
