  “Had steak pie, think it was old.or.warmed for hours, couldn't stick the fork in or cut with a knife and fork it was that hard. Refunded the one meal, but to be honest just wasn't good enough. Food like that simply should not be sent out.”

  “Reserved a table for half past 4 . Reserved for the reasons that we thought it would be very busy , and we have an autistic 4 year old who struggles with transitions and waiting in new places . Arrived at 4.30 to be told to grab a drink from the bar as the people on our table were just finishing up . Bear in mind the restaurant was not busy , with a 6 and numerous 4s free and set . I explained we’d booked for half 4 and my son couldn’t really wait . And was met with “ yeah well if you just get a drink at the bar and wait “ as my son started to go into a visible audible meltdown and my elderly parents left looking confused as we had booked !! Blonde waitress tried to tell me there were no other tables for 5. Even though the table next to us was a 6 , empty for the whole of our meal and was already set up and reserved ! Long and short of it was the waitress didn’t want to re set 2 tables . Which is fine , but then allow people to access the table they booked at the time they booked it ! Probably wouldn’t return tbh , which is a shame as the food was brilliant .”

  “Came out on a hot day immediately tended to by staff who were very friendly especially the woman with red hair who came to our table she was so lovely and sweet. Food was amazing and drinks were refreshing. The atmosphere was quiet but nothing to feel isolated.”

  “Took my mum there last week and had fish, chips and mushy peas, very hot (which my mum commented on as she loves her food to be scalding hot if possible), two small bones found in fish but overall very tasty. Came back today, slightly busier 12 ish on a Thursday afternoon but was hot weather. Tried the tower burger very delicious and my mum had the steak and ale pie, she commented how it was full of steak not fatty grizzly ends but actually nice steak. Very filling. Lovely service by the Irish man there and the young man who brought our food was very polite. Recommend if you like quiet area, hot tasty meal 😋 👌”

  “We have dined at the Bellfower many times since it was taken over by JW Lees and enjoyed many meals there. We usually go as a party of four but last month the meal was below standard and the bill was discounted by 33% to reflect our disappointment We decided to give it another try at the weekend and ordered 3 ribeye steaks one medium two medium rare and a burger. The steaks were badly cooked and tasteless suspect cooked from frozen as there were hardly any pink flesh at all. One of us actually left half of it untouched. We did raise a complaint about two of the glasses of cider which had been served they had been partly consumed but there was a heavy taste of soda. The two half glasses were brought back to our table saying that it was possibly getting to the end of the barrel. We sent them back. Good job we didn't complain about the steaks. We paid our bill which was over £130.00 and tipped our waiter as usual and left. Really not sure what has happened here as the food used to be exceptionally good with a great choice available. On a more positive note the staff are all very helpful and friendly and try there very best to look after you from the start to the finish of your meal.”

  “Had Dinner with my family last Tuesday, wonderful woman working at the bar greated us and sat us as a walk in of 6, she had great attitude and very helpful. Had some starters to share and later ordered dinner. Food was great and the steak pie was a proper pie and not just stew with pastry. Definitely recommend. Great pub”

  “Best pub grub around! The cheese and onion pie was the best me and my partner had ever tasted, i had the steak n ale pie which was also very good, both came in a decent portion, extra little gravy boat made a difference as well, thick cut chips were also perfect, will definitely be back for more!”
