  “A great place for food and drink: I particularly recommend the liver and mash! The 'no mobiles' rule makes a pleasant change. Great staff with prompt service and excellent value for money.”

  “I was in on Saturday night and had a meal with my partner and the lady behind the bar was extremely rude and unpleasant. She had short hair and because of her we will not be returning. Such a shame as the food was lovely!”

  “Chantelle cheerfully offered helpful ideas and was great with further whatsapp communication when I organised a recent informal celebration function at The Widow Cullen's Well. The location towards the top of steep hill was great and the venue somewhat away from the typical hen-night type raucousness further down the hill; which we wanted to avoid instead in a more mature environment on this Saturday evening. On the day of the event Chantelle was pleasant and welcomed us to the lovely upstairs lounge-like section which she had closed-off for our use only. The upstairs bar was really good and offered some privacy for our guests and removed the need to otherwise traverse the stairs too often. Chantelle provided the cold buffet catering option exactly as we had agreed previously. The presentation and quality of the food was excellent and absolutely the best value I could find at the many Bailgate / Steep Hill establishments I had earlier surveyed; before choosing this location above all others! Chantelle left us later in the capable hands of her attentive staff who were great in continuing the fun atmosphere to the end of the evening. Overall The Widow Cullen's Well, Chantelle and her team were brilliant and I recommend them.”

  “Absolutely lovely place to sit and have a chat with friends. Being an no tech pub it encourages visitors to play a board game with friends or enjoy a meal or a drink in the cosy homey feeling pub serving delicious food and drinks with really friendly bar staff I reccomend sitting upstairs by the window to get some natural light while enjoying a meal or a game with your compadres”

  “Came here a few times since weve been staying in a hotel close by for a couple weeks, the pub is lovely and charming, food was lovely the liver is fantastic! Daytime staff was lovely, very friendly and welcoming. However our negative side is the change over staff we wasnt impressed with either, one lady was rude and gave drinks quite aggressively and the other was to busy being flirtatious and trying to get people to buy her drinks it isnt professional otherwise would of been more stars. We shall stick to daytime in here next time we come 👍”

  “The menu outside was different from the menu inside but we were told not a problem the chef would cook a special. We had an adult with severe LD so asked for chicken nuggets or goujons with chips and we had the roast dinners (. Pork & veggie) ours meals were terrible vegetables totally overcooked, the soggiest York pudding I’ve ever had the adult with LD. Got 10 chips and bits of dried out chicken. Given that the chicken goujons were on the outside menu and we were told it wasn’t a problem it was a surprise when the waitress said that there was nothing she could do to rectify it and the ( I presume) more senior staff member didn’t want to know . Needless to say the adult with severe LD had an absolute meltdown. We just paid the bill and left before he kicked off . The staff were completely uninterested that we got the wrong food in no way apologetic or even offering to take the bag of crisps that I had to order to give the LD person something to eat off the bill”
