Reviews in Boston

My partner decided to treat me to a night out here after seeing the menu online at the restaurants own site. On arrival we discovered that the menu had been drastically reduced from what was advertised due to the new year and dishes we were looking forward to, specifically the rack of ribs and the lasagne were no longer available. In fact almost half the dishes had been removed. We went with a starter which was lovely. We both had BBQ Chicken wings, which were amazing. Mains however were a different story. I had the Steak & Ale pie with winter vegetables. The pie tasted burnt and it came with carrots, broccoli (looking pretty limp and sorry for itself and parsnips (a personal dislike). Had I known there were parsnips I’d have asked them to be removed. My partner had the Mediterranean Grilled Chicken thighs with Koffman fries and dressed salad. What it didn’t mention was the HUGE portion of olives which came with it. Since the smell and taste of the olives was overwhelming and she intensely dislikes them this went a long way towards ruining the dish. The salad was drenched in dressing and the chicken was underdone. The meal was pretty much inedible as a result. If you’re going to put something like olives, an acquired taste, in the dish then please at least say so in the menu. After the disappointing mains we didn’t stay for the desert, the menu for which was similarly reduced from what was advertised. The waitress passed our comments on to the kitchen staff but not to the manager so when we came to pay he had no idea what had happened. He knocked the price of our drinks off the bill…a John Smiths and a coke, but we still paid for two disappointing meals. On the whole, really disappointing overall.

We celebrated a family birthday with friends. As always the portion sizes were huge, the food was tasty and everyone enjoyed their meals.

Had our work Christmas meal here on 16th and were very pleased with the food and service. There were 20 of us in the party and we all got served together with piping hot food, everyone enjoyed their dishes. The service could not be faulted.

Went for a Christmas meal 16th Dec Everything was pre-booked for four of us couldn't be more happier with the food and service Everything was very good food was amazing well done to all

Lovely food. Great place. Service a bit erattic.

Excellent service and food selection - popped in while my son was playing on the 3g - excellent surroundings - love the grazing options. Good value will be there again.

We had to do pre - order that was ok but still had to wait 45 min for food to come out . Some of the dishes sat on top under light, people in groups of 4 walking taking there orders and getting before we did and we pre-ordered Hame and as just of packet did not look fresh from butchers. Sausage mash did not taste Wright. The brisket on top of burger was disgusting in all the food was horrible would not rate it but service good not good value at all don’t think I will come back again.

We came for a last minute meal on Wednesday which was pie night. I have a severe peanut allergy and they went out of their way to make sure what i wanted to order would be suitable. So overall great service, super helpful and good food!

Excellent food and brilliant service This is our 5th time of going and never disappointed with our dining experience.

A meal for 6 adults on a weds evening. The service was great, the food was tasty. The prices were excellent. They are open during the day too, which we didn't know, so we will be making a visit soon. The staff are friendly and helpful. Recommended

Four of us attended the first pie night and the service and quality of the well sized portions of pie was excellent.

We came for pie night, absolutely amazing! Delicious pies, generous portions, I almost couldn’t fit cake in afterwards! Great service, lovely staff, highly recommend.

Good service, good food, large portions. Relaxed atmosphere. Will be back.

Excellent food, great service and reasonably priced

Nine of us had a really enjoyable meal in Ellenders last Thursday evening for a 65th birthday. The food was excellent, and really good service... Overall a really enjoyable experience and will definitely be back.

We had the Sunday lunch yesterday at 1pm. Having enjoyed it a few times before, we were disappointed. The potatoes were rock hard and the meal wasn't very flavoursome. The beef was good, but much less than we've had before. The waitress forgot to bring over the horseradish we asked for. Two desserts had run out unfortunately too. We won't be back on a Sunday again unless I hear it's improved.

Main course was good but bread with prawn salad would have been nice. service was good, cheese and biscuits came with no butter and no knife !

Outstanding Food Lovely Staff all friendly
