We came with a big group and they were very accommodating. The place is spotless. A nice touch was a staff member showing my curious kid around the kitchen. Food was decent, though service got a bit slow later on.

This restaurant is a lovely spot to relax and enjoy a meal, with a welcoming atmosphere and dependable service.

Been coming here for years. The Sunday roast is consistently good, which is why I keep coming back.

Booked for Sunday lunch, place was packed. Service got a bit slow when they were full, but expected that. Food came out fine in the end.

The booking was made for 8:30 but the restaurant didn&#39;t open until 9 , but they served us anyway which was great, the breakfast was very good 100% visit again

The plaice was perfectly cooked, swimming in butter. The hazelnut parfait was lovely too. What really stood out was the service &ndash; friendly and relaxed, they never rushed us out even at the end of the night.

Convenient location just outside Stratford with plenty of parking. The fish and chips portion was huge, easily enough for two. Price was fair for what you get.

Lovely old-world charm, the building is beautifully maintained. The bar area is particularly nice - had a great cocktail that paired well with my starter. A bit pricey for the drinks, but the setting was worth it.

Been coming here for years, and the service is always spot on. Quick with the food, friendly without being over the top. It&#39;s that consistency that keeps me coming back for a casual weekend brunch.

Iqbal was a star. He really knew the menu and helped us sort out vegan options, tweaking a couple of dishes for us. Made the whole thing easy.

The food for our large group all came out together and was still hot, which was impressive. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.

The staff brought out a lovely dessert plate for my birthday. It was a nice touch.

Lovely staff, wonderful service and excellent food. It&#39;s a great pity though that the Tuna Abrizzese Salad -- their best dish and featured as the illustration on this page -- is no longer on the menu. In fact there are no salads on the menu at all except for side salads -- as a vegetarian that is something that I really miss.I&#39;d also like to see a proper automatic door system fitted. The current front door is extremely heavy -- my mother can&#39;t open it on her own so doesn&#39;t go there any more without help. Worse than this, the door sticks fully open quite often as people leave, and when it&#39;s freezing outside if you&#39;re sitting by the window then it gets very cold very quickly. Small things which could make a big difference to our experience as regulars at this great restaurant.

Nice historic pub with a cozy feel. The fish and chips were a bit pricey for the portion size though.

Been coming here for years. Their fish and chips are spot on, crispy batter and the chips are proper. The Sunday roast is a solid choice too. Staff know their stuff when it comes to allergies, which is a relief.

Staff were really polite and helpful. They explained the menu well and kept an eye on our table without being overbearing. Made the evening relaxed.

A nice surprise that our dog was allowed inside. The staff were really chill about it, and he settled right under our table. Made the whole lunch feel relaxed.

Came by on a packed Sunday. The staff were so lovely despite the rush. I found a quiet corner by the window, just watching the light filter through the plants. It felt like a little escape in the middle of all the bustle.

Nice spot, the food was really good. I had the steak frites and my wife had the sea bass. The wine list is decent, found a nice Malbec that went perfectly with the steak. A bit on the pricier side for the portion, but the flavours were spot on.

Solid afternoon deal under &pound;8. Food arrived quickly, no fuss. Exactly what you expect from a Wetherspoons.

A really nice pub, the portions are huge. We had the garlic mushrooms to start and honestly felt full after that! The seats were comfortable though, which was a plus.

A solid spot for families. The kids menu was decent, and they kept our little one busy with crayons and paper. Danni and Andrea were friendly and helpful. The high chairs were a bit wobbly though.

The chicken shashlick had such fresh, vibrant spices. Really enjoyed the quality of the ingredients.

Been here a few times. It&rsquo;s a nice, relaxed place where you can bring your dog. The food is solid, especially for the price. Had to wait a bit for our order, but it&rsquo;s usually like that when it&rsquo;s busy.

My wife and I went for dinner on a Monday night. The pub wasn&#39;t too busy which was lovely. We were quickly seated and attended to. Drinks were ok but the startes and sharing plates were great! Well seasoned and presented. Highly recommend the chicken karaage. Our mains were generously sized but a bit lacking in flavour. We had pork belly (saved by the tasty sauce) and sea bass (needed salt). All in all a lovely meal and we would visit again if in the area.

Ollie was so on top of things tonight. Knew exactly when to check in and gave a great tip on the wine pairing for the lamb. Made the whole thing feel really relaxed.

Booked ahead for a Saturday evening, which was necessary. The place was packed. Service was efficient despite the crowd, and our order arrived promptly. The steak was cooked as requested. Good for a reliable meal when you need a table secured.

Lovely spot upstairs from the pub, feels very cosy. The lighting was a bit flickery, but it was still a really relaxed evening. Just the kind of place where you can settle in and not feel rushed.

Been coming here for a while. The food is always solid, never had a bad meal. They switch up the menu quite often, so it doesn&#39;t get boring. My only gripe is that sometimes a favourite dish disappears!

The wine list had some nice options to pair with our meal, and the bill came to about &pound;75 for three courses. Good value.
