Had another amazing meal on Sunday. I can definitely recommend any of the roast dinners & the desserts

Booked for 3 as partners birthday and I had won a voucher for 2 Sunday 2 courses. It was very busy in the restaurant and bar area although it was 2.30pm. We had to wait for some time to get our drinks after ordering. The vegan dessert we ordered wasn't available but we were offered an alternative which was ok. The food was very nice we had the vegan option roast dinner and vegan cheesecake. The fruit juices were a lot more expensive than the half pint of cider we had.

Service as regards waiters was good but food slow coming out and was cold tasted good shame it was cold and expensive for what I got.

All great , lovely food quick service , and everyone very pleasant .

We were excited to come to this venue pre theatre. We arrived early and was greeted well and sat quickly. The restaurant was at steady with many table free when we arrived. We ordered starters and mains at around 6pm. Thinking we would be completed by 8/710 so we had plenty of time to get to the theatre. The starters arrived and was ok (although) very greasy. Our starters came within ten minutes of ordering and then quickly taken after we finished we then continued to wait for nearly an hour minimum of 45 mins before our food still hadn’t arrived. We asked and were told it was just being cooked we then waited another ten minutes to then be told our food had been given to another table. We only just made our theatre show We will not return

Like many others, the venue was chosen after viewing location and price list online. Both seemed very reasonable. On arrival pleasantly surprised, with friendly staff and lovely decor. We had given ourselves two hours to eat, prior to attending a performance. Sadly, this is where things started to unravel for us, a group of 3. My online booking, made 2 days previously, had been mistakenly cancelled by the restaurant, this was quickly solved by our waiter. However, this then led to us not being given menus, left without drinks and despite our attempts to attract the waiter, (the restaurant understandably became busier). Two larger parties of guests arrived after us, had their orders taken prior to us being asked for ours. This was disappointing as this is basic etiquette in restaurants that the waiters monitor who arrives when. Especially when we are all there with time constraints due to pre theatre meals. The food when arrived, was delicious, well presented and appreciated, if a little pricier than stated on the online menus. The service, whilst lovely, genuine and friendly was not very efficient and perhaps more staff at peek times maybe the answer as both waiters were on the go constantly. It’s unfortunate, as this place has the potential to be something special, I will give it another chance, but it seems that from reading other reviews our experience isn’t unusual, which is disappointing.

We visited pre theatre and were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted immediately as we walked through the doors and throughout the meal, staff were warm, friendly and genuine. The food was simple and tasty, my burger was homemade and well cooked and seasoned. We will return!

Have driven past this pub many times, saw that they were doing live music and booked a table for dinner. Service was lovely, chap was very helpful and friendly, food was exceptional, great taste and beautifully presented. Music was icing on the top, still able to chat over dinner and enjoy the songs being played. Lovely place and we will definitely be back as was a real mix of ages in there.

A lovely early evening meal for 2. The rugby was on and so there was a great atmosphere. The pub was busy enough but not overly so. Our food was tasty and plentiful. The servers were very friendly and smiley. It is the third time we have been here and it certainly won't be our last.

This seems to be my second home now! Absolutely cannot fault the food same with the live music and fun bar staff…oh and the craft ale! Love this place

Six of us for meal after theatre trip, many other diners present. Our meal was beautifully presented and tasted great, the service we were happy with as we were in no rush - would book again :)

Had a lovely time at the SP bar Saturday 28th January, it was busy with customers but the waitress staff made sure to get our orders in great time. All staff were friendly and focused on making sure everyone had the best time. The cocktails were so tasty.

Excellent food and service.

The food was ok, but I booked here after reading the menu online, and when we arrived the menu was a bit different. What was very different was the prices e.g. it says fish and chips is £14 on the online menu I read but on the in the it was £16.95. And online it says a pizza is £10 and toppings 75p, on the menu in the restaurant it was £12 and the topping was £2. So the prices charged were quite a bit more expensive then what they are advertised as on your website - I probably wouldn't have come here if the correct prices were advertised.

5***** Food amazing and portion size huge! Couldn’t fault the staff, all very friendly and went extra mile to ensure we were happy. 100% will be back and highly recommend food / drinks

We fancied a roast or similar and booked the Platform for lunch with the family. The food was delicious, the gravy was hot and the food arrived, albeit after a bit of a wait, and was as tasty as one could make at home. I had a stuffed mushroom with spinach and breadcrumb topping which was delicious. The staff were very attentive and we enjoyed the atmosphere.

Warm welcome, excellent food and service.

Great food and very friendly and welcoming staff.
