We had a table of 4 for the cheese and wine night. We were seated but then left for quite a while before we were served. The table next to us or sat after us were served before us. Our order for our food was taken, there was only 2 of the beef dishes left, which was disappointing as the 4 of us wanted it. The waitress left without taking the wine order so the starters arrived with no wine order still taken. The starters came out, 3 were correct, 1 wasn’t so my friend ate hers after we’d eaten ours. Then the mains came out, 3 arrived and then the news that the beef had ran out so would I like to order something else. So the table ate without me and I ate once mine arrived and they’d finished. The mains and starter despite the mishaps was of a good standard. The cheese and biscuits to finish was very poor. They did give us £30 off the bill and a glass of wine to make up for it. The atmosphere is lovely in there, just needs a little more organisation. Also turn the TV off for restaurant evenings! Understand it’s a football club but spoils it a little and you can’t help but watch it!

Went with friends for lunch and the food was great hot and very tasty. Staff very attentive the only disappointment we had was after we finished our meals we weren't asked if we wanted a sweet or another drink or did we want the bill! But saying that we will be back again.

Staff very helpfull happy and polite Very good service Food wonderfull and hot when arrive at the table Enjoyed my time there

Great ambience. Really warm and welcoming staff who managed to find us a table an hour before the time we’d booked. Clean plates all round so food was a hit too! Just wish we’d had room for dessert.

My wife and I booked a table for dinner on Tuesday evening. Although the restaurant obviously wasn't busy we still found it slightly strange that the waitress didn't seem to check our booking before seating us. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wings starter and the Lincolnshire Sausage and Mash main. My wife had just the Hunter's Chicken main. The food was to a good standard however the service we received from our waitress left a lot to be desired. When she delivered the starter she apologised that the drinks had not yet appeared and went to prepare them at the bar. My wife then received the wrong drink and had to return it to the bar to be replaced - something the waitress didn't seem too happy about. Each time the waitress delivered an item to the table we would thank her, but she always seemed to have already turned away from us. In fact she was often looking elsewhere as she placed the item on the table. Stranger still, when she came to ask how our meal was, she didn't wait for the reply even though it came quite rapidly and was positive. A couple of times other members of staff came to our table. They were friendly and efficient. Our waitress seemed to be friendlier to another table. We can only assume she knew them. Either that or she thought we had done something wrong, but I can't think what. In summary, the food was good, but the service was indifferent and not particularly welcoming.

Friendly welcoming staff, food is lovely as is the atmosphere, well done all we will be returning.

Sunday Lunch was superb excellent cuts of Beef Turkey and Pork with full range of well cooked vegetables. Service was good at a very busy time and staff as ever were pleasant and efficient . highly recommended

Visited 14th September for an evening meal. Good quality food, pleasant surroundings, together with friendly and attentive staff. Thank you.

On Friday 8th September 2023 we was able to have a 50 years Service in the NHS for Andrea Rushby held at Ellenders We decided to use Ellenders for the venue solely because of Sonia! Sonia is the sole and face of Ellenders she is always so helpful and enthusiastic, we all thought she was the Manager because of her passion for Ellenders. Sonia ensured the area was set up to perfection, making Andreas night so special. Sonia, thank you so so much for all your help, attention to detail and professionalism The menu and food was outstanding thank you Tom Hall amazing chef and handsome.

We really enjoyed our meal yesterday as it was a special day for our son it was his birthday so that meal made it special to him as he really enjoyed it so thankyou again

Excellent lunch on Wednesday. Food was perfectly cooked. Was very good value for money.

Visited for curry night. We tried 3 curries. We didn’t eat any of them. The meat in all three was very unpleasant and none of them resembled their title. The goat curry had no flavour at all, a little heat and the meat was chewy and very unpleasant. Such a shame because that’s what we went for. My friend tried a chicken curry, which was supposed to be on the bone but was so over cooked, it was just shreds of chicken. I had the beef rendang. I make a good beef rendang. This did not resemble one. We did see the lamb curry being served as we were leaving and that actually looked like a curry! So all in all, very disappointing . It was our first visit, so probably won’t visit again.

The waiting time was a while even though we’d booked a table. We thought it was a bit misleading that it said 3 courses for £16.95 when it was for a starter and two mains, which all came out together, so when it got round to eating the main they were getting cold. My friend had to send her cocktail back because it was like drinking pure alcohol. So all in all wouldn’t rush back. The waitresses were lovely though.

Staff were incredibly attentive and kind. Reasonably priced, great tasting food. The restaurant was immaculate.

Excellent service from the team at the kitchen. Myself and my brothers travelled to surprise my mum for her 60th birthday. They were amazing having a table set for us and balloons. This is the second time we have eaten here highly recommended hot food and incredibly helpful staff nothing was a problem even helping us take photos of us.

We came as a party of 10 last night (been a few times before). I can't ever understand why Ellenders isn't busier as once again it was a really lovely meal. The only thing a couple of our party noticed was the chips being a bit warm instead of hot but other than that the servers were lovely and the food was great.

Visited on Sunday 13th August for Sunday lunch . Glad we pre-booked as it was very busy . My wife had roast beef and i had the triple roast . Both were excellent, nice crispy roast potatoes, stuffing and Yorkshire pudding and a lovely selection of fresh veg . Excellent service and very friendly and helpful staff. We also called back later for a drink and again we were greeted with friendliness and politeness.

My husband and I went for lunch on a Sunday, it was busy, plenty of friendly staff to cater for everyone. I had fish and chips my husband had the pork roast, my chips and mushy peas were delicious but the fish (wasn't very big) was overcooked so had dried out and the batter was burnt. My husbands pork roast was very nice and there was plenty on his plate.
