We booked on a whim after visiting for lunch a few weeks ago and the whole process was very straightforward. On arrival we had the choice of seating and we were offered a good choice of drinks which were brought to us .I ordered the Raven burger with an upgrade to Beef messy fries and my wife had the ‘small ‘ portion of chicken nachos. When the food arrived we were not disappointed! The portions were very generous and well cooked, I do have a healthy appetite but I was nearly beaten. However, we did have just enough room for a sweet! I had the sticky toffee pudding and my wife had the apple crumble. I must admit I did have food envy! But luckily my wife couldn’t finish it! Overall, we were very pleased with our food, the staff were wonderful again.( we must get the lady’s name) and the chef shared his crumble recipe which I thought was ace. We do intend to go back in the new year. Well recommended.

After many very good meals, this time we were disappointed with our choice. I picked the Pork Belly, after twice seeing that my wife had selected it with a nice layer of crackling, but what I received was not good. The layer of cracking was mushy and raw. I sent it back ,and when it returned , it was just cremated but still as mushy. For our stater we ordered the Dirty Nachos, but the wasn’t a Jalapeño to be seen. We also ordered a side of Slaw, which did not arrive but was on the final bill? On leaving we were given a voucher for selected weekdays in January??? We were there on a Friday. I do hope this is just a blip, as we regularly eat at the Tilley and hope that this can continue.

Great service and food, we will be back again!

Whilst the food was enjoyable, we did have a long wait after ordering to our main course, especially relevant as we were the only diners for the first 20 minutes we were there. Not sure that the Staff serving the alcohol were 18, and that seemed more intent on the attention of a group of lads that came in. This is such a shsmd as we have eaten here many times and it’s always been a nice experience. We have been coming here for just over a year now and the menu choices have not changed.

Excellent food and very friendly and excellent service. We ordered the Sunday lunch and it was the best we have had for some time. The roasts and the vegetarian option were all generous portions and very tasty. We look forward to our next visit.

We were disappointed by our last meal at the Raven last Sunday night. The menu, although the stationary was new, was the same as... could it be the last 3 years? We had heard that there was a new chef and hoped the food would be as good as before. It was not too busy that evening. After we placed our food order, there was a long wait. Most meals were tasty and well presented, except mine: I had a roast vegetable skewer with yoghurt and mint sauce. Although I was the last to be served, the vegetables were not cooked, just slightly charred on the outside and the sauce only appeared 10 minutes after I had started eating, to join the others. Later on, we wanted to order a second round of drinks and the waitress said she would be right back to take our order. She never came back so we did not order second drinks. We decided to have pudding at home rather than risk more waiting. I told Kerry that we were disappointed by the service. She apologised and said one of the chefs had been taken to hospital with a fit. We wish we were told straight away, we would have been understanding.

Very nice food and friendly staff.

Our Home Group from church had a meal at the Raven to celebrate 'end of term'. There were fourteen of us and we enjoyed a nice lunch. We had placed our orders, by email, two days before, and the food was served, as ordered and quite soon after our arrival. Staff were pleasant throughout. We would definitely like to return on a similar occasion. Two minor observations: One of our folk thought the Mac and Cheese was a bit low on cheese, and another seemed to have been charged £2 for extra fries he hadn't asked for (with Ham, egg and chips). It has to be said, neither of them was very bothered about it. Those minor items apart, we were all very happy! We had a lovely relaxing time.
