  “I came to the pub on Thursday for my grandsons birthday and the manager Richard went above and beyond to make me and my family feel welcome in the pub we pre ordered food as there was 12 of us and there were no mistakes with any of the food and the rest of the staff were warm and welcoming I couldn't recommend this place enough I have told my friends and they said they will be visiting soon”

  “The food was abysmal, took over an hour to come out and everyone's food came out inconsistently, my food was forgotten so while everyone else was almost finished and my husband waited for mine so his went stone cold, I was still waiting. When I did eventually get it after being told they'd forgotten to put it on my steak was undercooked to how I ordered it, my sausages were burnt within an inch of their life not even my dog would take it, my chicken was dryer than a slice of turkey and my gammon was so over cooked it didn't even resemble gammon. We had to send my husbands mixed grill back the first time because they'd served it wrong despite dietary requirements being listed on the order and the way they handled the whole night made it all that worse. Never again.”

  “I've been to this pub a good few times now. The place is good for families especially with little children as they have crayons and colouring pads to hand. The kids menu is very good value for money with quite a few choices on there. The service can be on the slower side but we go when it's quiet. They do offer blue light card on food which is a little bonus. Staff are friendly and accommodating.”

  “Food is great and the service is fine but the drinks prices need addressing! I paid £5.90 for a bottle of Budweiser 300ml that is clean off you can’t justify that price! Ten minutes down the road same thing £2.90 other than that it’s a decent pub/restaurant”

  “The food here is lovely, I particularly enjoy it. There’s things here to entertain yourselves such as a pool table and a darts boards, as well as entertainment for kids such as a play area outside. The food can sometimes be hit or miss, but it’s still enjoyable.”

  “Was told after we had ordered that one of the meals was out of stock and had to change, when the food came one of the meals was totally wrong and another had onions on it even after ensuring with the staff that it would not. We had to ask 4 times for our drinks to brought to the table and also for a side sauce that was supposed to come with the meal. When they eventually brought the pot of sauce, it was the wrong one and we had already finished our meals. Portion sizes are b very small for the price. Will definitely never return here”

  “Past this pub a number of times and always thought it looked a lovely pub. Decided to try it out and wasn't disappointed. Food was good the service was very good. This is a dog friendly pub, and I do believe that the staff like their four legged guests. Would vist again and recommend.”

  “Went here earlier today for lunch with 3 people. Place was busy, so we were very hopeful this was a good sign of things to come. Unfortunately this was not the case... The pub is charming, has a good ambiance, nothing wrong with that. We had made a reservation, but weren't greeted at the door, we had to wander through the pub, looking for a member of staff to find out where our table was. Not the greatest start. We placed the order online and the drinks came out soon enough, the food took a bit though, not horribly long, but longer than you'd expect for a pub... 3 mains ordered: Mixed grill Beef and Lamb Shish Kebab Meat with chips Fish and chips All 3 mains came out luke warm and were cold by the time we'd finished eating. Other than this, the mixed grill and beef and lamb Shish Kebab were ok, nothing spectacular, but ok, though I did order the steak on the mixed grill as medium and it was served very well done... The fish and chips, however, was a whole different game. The fish was served extremely dark brown, already headed more towards black. It looked like it had been recycled from another order and cooked into a second death. It also tasted it, it was inedible and half of it was left on the plate. Nobody came to check on us during the meal to complain, but we did complain when the server came to clear our plates. We received a very weak apology and were told it would be passed on to the kitchen... and that was it. We got no feedback after this and were just left till we left. No offer to comp the fish or a token of a free coffee or anything. So, in brief, I've been to a few Marston pubs over the years and, even if they are on the more expensive end of the spectrum for pub grub, have always had a decent meal in them, but today was an entirely different experience. Also, on a sidenote, as we were leaving, the table next to ours received their food, straight off with an apology that they'd messed up the chips, but just decided to serve the food anyway... only to be told they hadn't even ordered anything with chips and were waiting on a lasagna...”

  “Lovely family pub that provides various weekly entertainment. Place is very clean and the staff polite and attentive. Food is ordered at the table, I had the battered fish, chips and mushy peas. Fish was devious and fresh, decent sized portion and at £13.99 reasonably priced. Husband ordered the chilli beef, he was slightly disappointed, not a particularly big portion, although he ate it all, he thought it was a bit tasteless and left him underwhelming. We then stayed for a very enjoyable quiz.”
