"I have been at the nb for many years and I give herribone always a chance, but every time I do myself and others I am always abandoned feeling disappointed. okay, so yes, the gastfriendship has taken a blow during the pandemic (I myself have just left the industry after years) so that I have personal experience that everything should not be as it should be. in my experience with herringbone it is always the basis that give it up. on our last trip, for the amount the restaurant fee the eating was average and the service was similar. it is more like a nightclub than a bar/restaurant. our plates were slowly clear after each cure, and after the net we were abandoned. no offer for gloomy and the whole staff seemed to disappear. I went to the bar to ask for the bill and saw all the workers standing in the back. I asked the solo barman politely after our bill and he seemed upset, huffing and puffing, looking at the staff in the back. I have been told for years that most people here come for the atmosphere more than anything else. if they want to beat the sauce with their friends, then this is the place for them! we had a group of young who sat next to us, which led in the night to a scene that personal in fairness seemed to tell them several times to calm down. Towards this end of the night when I was looking for a worker to get the bill, I had to wait until two of them stopped playing before I could get up. I guess you could say the last visit was the last one after the visit several times. no hard feelings and I wish herringbone sincerely everything, but I don't think we will return."

"27/03/15 My first visit to The Alice. As you drive into the village of Nun Monkton, you absorb your beautiful surroundings of this quaint little village and look in awe at the green and the very tall may pole. This small village boasts the largest may pole and green in the whole of the UK. Upon arriving at the pub, I could see the chickens and vegatables growing in their gardens, this, always a pleasing sight to be had. The Alice boasts an array of outdoor seating at the front and in the secluded, manicured gardens to the rear too. The pub is beautifully decorated with a small, intimate dining room, a bar area for more casual dining and drinks and a large room, perfect for larger parties. Rebecca, the Assistant manager chats to me about their up and coming plans for the premises and the option to have drinks receptions in the barn for larger parties, served around a warming fire pit in the colder months. I order a gin and tonic, served with rosemary and cucumber, a delightful and refreshing special and begin choosing food to order. I view the creative menu and opt for goats cheese croquettes, walnut, apple and beetroot to start. The flavours blend delightfully and offer an explosion of taste jointly, for main the Chicken tagliatelle which is served in a rich, creamy sauce and made with fresh paster, seasoned perfectly. Next time, I will save space for dessert, but this time, there was simply no room left! Beautiful food at reasonable prices and with something for everyone."
