Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the food, with Sunday-style roasts named specifically: one diner had a three meat roast and another the turkey roast, and found nothing at fault. Generous portions and a varied menu come up too, with one regular saying the range means they choose different dishes at lunch and nothing disappoints. Close behind is friendly, attentive staff, and one regular says they remember the locals. Drinks get praise for a good selection of pints and spirits. One reviewer describes a family wake held here, with plentiful, imaginative food and a dietary requirement taken care of. The main complaint is slow table attention: one diner describes staff largely absent until plates arrived late, and having to fetch a cloth to wipe their own table, though they still plan to return. A drinks-only visitor notes that free parking at the rear requires entering a car registration into the system.

“We had such a wonderful experience at Three Hammers Pub! The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, the food was delicious, and the whole experience was made even better by the amazing service.
