I booked here to have a meal at lunchtime with some visiting friends. A real positive here is that many pubs around here are closed on Mondays and some on Tuesdays too due to working over the weekend, so it was good to find The Kitchen as an option. It was very busy and it took quite some time before we were approached even for drinks, so we went up to the bar to order and soon after the drinks arrived and food order was taken. Food arrived quite quickly and all four of us really enjoyed our meals. “Hunters Chicken” can vary so much as a pub meal but three of us chose that option and it was excellent and well worth the price. There was plenty of space between tables and sanitation stations located at various points. Overall we were impressed.

When we visit our family,we always come here for a ploughmans . So we came in yesterday but was very disappointed as it has changed, the pate was strong, not nice. No coleslaw, no Apple, ham was dry . Also it was put on a bigger plate to make it look more. Not as nice as it use to be. Shame as doubt we will come again as very hard to get a decent ploughman's.

We had the fish and chips, very greasy and batter not cooked inside felt queasy after.

We can’t fault The Kitchen for what it is. It’s a great place for a catch up with friends and good for a sit down for lunch, on a shopping trip. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and can’t do enough for you. The food is fresh and presented well and I would say good value for money!

Booked a table online for a birthday meal on a Sunday, limited meals available on a Sunday which was ok, 2 of the meals were a Sunday lunch, didn’t check with the waitress if the gravy came separately in a jug, (it didn’t ) every Sunday meal we have been to in a restaurant, they have served the gravy separately, the meal was swimming in a thin tasteless gravy, 2 roast potatoes, (didn’t taste like potato) 1 piece of broccoli and 4 carrots, 1 deflated Yorkshire pudding, all of the food must have been pre frozen from a packet and then heated in a microwave, my Sunday lunch was only lukewarm had to be sent back to be reheated again in the microwave, I’ve never tasted such an awful tasteless dinner, - for the price,; I think was shocking, £12.00, 1 of our party had a sandwich , with a small handful of crisps and 3/4 strands of rocket lettuce on the plate £7.00 again , I think the price is expensive for what we had. We had a jug of water to drink with ice cubes and lemon -great, but they gave us all warm glasses from the dishwasher, so the water wasn’t cold ….. it’s all these little things that could be thought out before serving. Unfortunately it was a bad experience and won’t be visiting again,

It’s really sad to see that most of reviews on here are negative. However people are often more “empowered” to right a negative review than a positive one. The kitchen at Springfield’s has a nice menu that isn’t fussy and is easy on the pocket. The menu is designed in a way that ensures you get your meal quickly, hot and on budget. They understand that they are attached to an outlet which is visited by many bus tour operators so it’s visitors want something to eat but will be on time limit. The kitchen is a hybrid of a garden centre tea room and a pub garden. Nice wooden tables and chairs all round, nicely spaced inside. The staff are friendly, professional but busy, - remember that! So they will take your order quickly, bring your drinks, meal, and receipt when your finished. If you watch them for a while they never stop - doing something. I emailed The Kitchen in advanced requesting a private / quiet area and they provided us with just that. Like all businesses they will try their best to accommodate all requests but due to the foot fall from the daily coaches they may not be able to accommodate you on the day unless you contact them in advanced. Thank you to all of the staff who were respectful and professional when accommodating for our request. It was so very much appreciated. I’m sorry the reviews on here seem to be negative - people are more likely to complain than praise - it’s the British way ;) So for anyone thinking should I go here the answer is yes. Just think of the hundreds of people they serve weekly from coach trips that are not in the habit of being online and writing reviews and would have been happy customers. Out of the hundreds of people they serve daily for the most part they get it right - of course some people may not enjoy their meal or something goes wrong. It does happen and those people often feel the need to complain - and that’s ok. Just bare in mind the 100’s of people that don’t have access to write reviews and have left happy customers! Well done team the kitchen. There is a nice outdoor area which is lovely on a summers day. The inside is clean and decorated in a nice neutral palette of colours. They have a private area if you are hosting a party which is a lovely feature.

Disappointed with the limited choice on menu and availability , the restaurant was nearly empty no ambiance , serving staff were just ok but waited quite a while for our drinks. We also found it very pricey for the amount on the plate. It’s a shame as it used to be great, but we will have rethink coming back.

I was taking my elderly mother shopping and booked here for Sunday lunch. Food was good. My mother I has hearing aids and found the noise from the music too loud as the room echoes. She asked if they could turn the music down which they did for 2 songs. If you want to have Sunday lunch with someone and a catch-up with people you have not seen much of over the past 18 months then go somewhere else. Mum had to take her hearing aids out and continued to eat in isolation as she couldn’t hear me if I talked to her.

After the fiasco of our booking this email is a joke. We arrived for them to have no record of our booking due to it apparently being a new system with a glitch. I have confirmation too. Kitchen was closed and we had to elsewhere. They knew there was a problem, so why hasn't it been sorted?
