"beautiful view of the river and the cow tower from a beautiful outside seating area. very pleasant staff, but were informed about my wobble allergy and then brought about everything with an early onsight. the burgers were really good and we didn't wait very long. the reserve ribs were apparently very juicy and tasty, but as they were sprinkled with early oncrowd, I didn't know. not too expensive. would definitely recommend."

"Pleasant enough pub/restaurant myself and partner went for Sunday lunch we were attended pretty quick seeing they were quite busy got our drinks and menu to peruse and a few minutes later was asked for our order we both ordered the roast beef which was placed on the table about 10 minutes later first impressions of the meal was the roast potatoes were in my opinion over cooked and we were unfortunate to get 3 slices of beef that was quite gristly and difficult to chew but the rest on the plate was very nice,we also had a dessert which was extremely nice so overall i would give the Blue Anchor a very nice 7 out of 10."

"I had been looking forward to visiting from Huddersfield for some time and we were also celebrating a birthday. Unfortunately our experience wasn't great. Initially we had to wait for our table to be ready when we arrived and after eventually ordering we were told half an hour later that there were no more beef ribs left bearing in mind we weren't dining late and there were only 3 sorts of ribs available was a little disappointing especially when this is a rib joint. We managed to decide on something else but I found the pork ribs to be quite tough when they came. Eaten in few of these types of places in my time and it wasn't the greatest experience in comparison. Was just glad we had 50% off vouchers."

"The Royal Oak Paley Street Maidenhead is our destination, we 've been told it 's a journey worth making. We head off the M4 and the SatNav indicates it 's close. A final right turn prompts the navigation to confidently announce 'you have arrived at your destination '. Err, no, we have arrived at a farm; we turn the car around. First tip then for The Royal Oak Paley Street, it 's not actually on Paley Street it seems, rather, 200 yards beyond; no matter. Visitors might also note that there are over 600 Royal Oak pubs in the UK making it the second most popular pub name after the Red Lion whose numbers exceed 700 so if you are planning a visit, do make sure you get the right one. At least we got that bit right. What differentiates this Royal Oak from all the others however is that Dominic Chapman @DomChapman is in the kitchen. Due to his endeavours, The Royal Oak Paley Street boasts a Michelin star and 3 AA Rosettes. Their website tells us that only two pub-restaurants in the country"

"We went to Mexico 70 one evening before going to the football at the Stadium of Light. It's a nice small restaurant, but it's best to make a reservation as it doesn't have too many tables. What stands out about this place is the wide range of vegan options available - half of the tacos and three quarters of the side dishes are vegan. This is quite a rare find in meat-loving Sunderland! The menu has recently been updated, so some items mentioned in older reviews may not be available anymore. Unfortunately, they no longer have loaded fries, but there are still some tasty options to choose from. The taco fillings are not just traditional Mexican flavors; they draw inspiration from other cuisines such as onion bhaji tacos, Korean-inspired tacos, and BBQ jackfruit tacos. My personal favorite was the buffalo cauliflower tacos - they were delicious! While I enjoyed the food, I did find it a bit pricey, with each taco costing around £6. You can expect to spend about £50 for two people (excluding drinks) as you'll need at least three tacos each and a couple of side dishes to share. Update: We just found out that Mexico 70 will be closing next month, with their last day of service being February 24th. Be sure to enjoy their tacos while you still have the chance!

"we went to the birthday of my men and loved it! I've been to a lot, but never in this restaurant. our waitress was beautiful and very attentive. I am pregnant and asked for a non-alcoholic beer that she had to be cooled and gave us free of charge, as it was not on the menu! the BBQ sauce was tough and everything was so delicious! would like to have tried a shake, but was too full! must go again after we had the baby so I can try the cocktails and have to eat for more!"

"we were a group of 25-30 with a car club lunch and a game of skittles. the skittles gasse is located in its own functional space on the side of the pub, so was ideal for the purpose. when it was pre-ordered, we had three. Dishes including a vegetarian and judged by the numbers that went up for seconds, we were not alone to appreciate the eating. so hate the kitchen team, even those behind the bar take care of us, many thanks for a great afternoon."

"Awful meal tonight at The Acorn. Starter came out in five minutes, so when forty five minutes later there was no sign of the main meal, it was clear that something was up, so a member of staff had to be approached. When it did eventually appear, the steak ordered as a medium rare was very much on the side of rare (oozing with blood), and the 'sizzling ' aspect of the course seemed to have given the chef the impression that he didn 't need to cook the mushrooms and tomatoes, so therefore the hot plate would do the work for them. Onion rings were limp, lifeless, and had clearly seen the fryer for only the briefest periods. Onions themselves were charcoal. Chicken stack wasn 't much better, with the meat overcooked and the 'crispy buttermilk ' coating taking its name to the most extreme level and falling off upon touch. Chips were fine. I paid for the meal, I don 't believe in not doing so, as wages need to be paid and costs have to be managed. It would though have been nice to have the opportunity to share my opinion with a member of staff. Pub or not, a brief visit from one of the team during the meal is always a nice touch. Upon paying, the staff member behind the bar seemed more preoccupied with discussing cocktails with her visiting friend than 1) asking if my meal was nice, 2) giving me eye contact, and 3) engaging in even the most cursory element of customer service. Not great."

"Fantastic pub for a lunch alongside a canal. We actually parked up in Berkhamstead and walked along the canal (50 min walk) otherwise just use the car park. Decent enough selection and I can vouch the classic burger was very good."

"I don 't expect these places to serve a la carte, however, it is pegged as the best place to eat for a sit-down meal in the museum and as you may expect from a restaurant you have to wait to be seated. We waited a while despite nobody else in line. The lit up tables appealed to the children. The menu was on a white paper allowing light to pass through and so to read it in the dimmed environment you have to place it directly on the table. This was okay with the adult menu but they failed to make this work with the kid 's menu as the text was in a light colour and made it very hard for even this 20+20 vision person to read. We ordered some food, mine was a chicken Caesar salad and everyone else had burgers and my one son had pasta. The salad and pasta were okay and I mean okay not wonderful or fancy and the portions were very small. The burgers were very bland. I mean cardboard bland. I at first thought my son was just being a little picky but when my friend said the same I tried the burger and my shoe sole would have tasted more like beef. I asked the server to taste it and her answer was We don 't get any complaints about the burger, it is plain for the children, that is how they like it! They gave my son some milk to apologise which was a bit of an insult really, they should have given him some pasta instead. This milk, however, was not something they wanted to give, it was clearly painful for her to offer anything. Having seen the reviews on google with a low 2.5 stars and here I think they are in denial."

"I had been in this pub for a while, but my family and I were on the way from cheltenham to Westonbirt at 17 o'clock and called for an early dinner. all four of us said that the meal was faultless, we enjoyed all three courses and cannot praise this place enough. such a great atmosphere, cordial greeting from the incredibly fabulous staff and a seat directly at the log tariff. what more can they demand. it is easy to find, beautiful location and has plenty of parking right next to the pub. in summer there is a large garden back. in februar this is the place to eat when they go to visit the colesbourne snowdrop gardens that are right in front of the house and not to miss. the menu at the colesbourne inn is huge and offers for everyone something wonderful, regardless of their taste or nutrition to choose. my calamari ‘Bar Bite’ size starter was superb and definitiw a greater part than we expected. the other appetizers, a black bell and black pudding with fried egg was superb as well as the bread selection we also ordered. mostly fish Pie....only full of a lot of different fish and whistle fish. my son had the steak and ale pier he claimed he was the best he had eaten in a very long time. two of us had the nut roast dinner.... I want my Christmas dinner to be as good as that. desserts of fruit crumbs and custard finished the meal with the obligatory glass or two of fizz. for each device in these times to offer this incredible selection of oriented, which is an absolute credit for them by the most kind of employees ever and the very high standards they did. highly recommended at any level possible. well made the colesbourne inn"

"Words can’t describe the food is so I’ll use numbers. Brisket burger 1/10 Ribs 5/10 Mac and cheese 3/10 Got the brisket burger to take away. After 3 bites and a lot of chewing with no flavour, I went to give it to the dog and my partner said to throw it in the bin instead as it was that bad. Shocking beyond belief they would recommend this off the menu when it’s that bad. Tasted like it was cooked a week ago and reheated in the microwave to remove the last of the moisture. After a friend telling me to go back as it was a once off this is what I got 2nd time round. Ribs (full rack) were poor 5/10, the separate sauce (bbq was 7/10) but wasn’t the fall off the bone they said it was. After a while of trying to get the meat off the bone I gave up and binned the rest. Mac and cheese (as a side) was tasteless. The next visit cost me around £17 which to be honest, was an absolute waste of money, I feel I’ve been robbed."

"westbourne park £6.25 ashai we drive to west and drive to the union tavern near westbourne park tube. this charming @fullers alcohol sits only over a bridge next to the canal grande union. the pub is located on two etagens with a quite large bright and airy bar on the street level and a smaller cozy bar below which leads to a canal side terrace. the kneipe offers fasser and craftsmen like fullers stalwart bier london pride. I had the ashai camp that is my favorite pint, it's over six pounds, but I really enjoy it. the pub was not overly busy, but if the weather is nice, they have to go and sit outside on the canal terrace where most punters have appeared. just one next note, I saw a few youngs with moustaches, beautiful to see the mustache make a comeback. for all pub flowing lovers, there are beautiful green flowing above the front of the outer and also some more vintage scab behind the bar. eating here is popular with the hunters as there were many tellers from the kitchen. the @uniontavern is a solid alcohol that offers a good food and beer. it is channel side terrace is a real tasty and a great place to hang out. if they are ever out of w9, why not give it a try. . informations correct to visit 30/08/21"

"I came here a while ago, and I thought Katie was good. That's when I met Jorge, more like Jore-yay! It was incredible, made Aphrodite feel poor. It was like a Greek Hercules, striding muscularly down the steps to serve us. Never did I think Katie would be outmatched, how wrong was I?!! Very. Jorge served us like Federer at Wimbledon. Unbelievable. It was game, set and match, championship point. Katie Creed, learn some lessons!!!! Boo Kooks, merci boo kooks, an orgasm of the mouth, I can't thank you enough. Phenomenal. Djokovic, Nadal, Murray, it was ace the entire time."

"Visited at lunchtime on New Years Eve after a truly disastrous experience at Garrards opposite. Thankfully, Henry Burgers was every bit as good as I’d remembered it! They have a fantastic lunch deal running during the week which includes 2 burgers with fries and any two sides for under £30. I went for the HFC, a spicy buttermilk chicken burger, and my partner opted for the classic cheeseburger. Both were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and served in soft, sweet, brioche buns. For the sides we had the Mac and Cheese and the Deep Fried Pickles. Large portions of each, the macaroni was rich and full of flavour and the pickles were served with an amazing, homemade, blue cheese sauce. The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is because the chips were over cooked and I don’t agree with making servers wear masks in restaurants while it’s not mandatory, as it makes them hard to hear/understand when asking questions about the menu. That being said, service was quick, friendly and efficient. If you want a good burger in Leigh, then look no further. Highly recommended."

"Poor burger, made incorrectly the first time. Took so long to get me the correct burger and in all truth I've had better burgers from my local takeaway (which cost considerably less). I would love to recommend this place but me and my friends where put in a corner and treated like we shouldn't be there and charged extortionate money for lackluster food. Plus you don't get fries with your burger which is poor then you are charged £3+ for a small cold portion.PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF AT MCDONALDS!"

"I'm partial to a naughty burger.. this place is probably one of the best burgers I had. Everything we have ordered so far have been exceptional.. milkshakes are to die for.. burgers, chips, wraps.. you name it, its amazing. Delivery is lightening quick too, ok it's £3.50 for delivery but from clicking order to it being delivered is 15-20 mins. Amazing"

"Greeted by nice warm and friendly staff. Pizza we got was good. The chicken caesar salad was edible but on the dry side, more of the creamy, garlic dressing would of made it! Also ordered 2x milkshakes which were poor, tasted just like milk aswell as viscosity and not much more, for the price it was disappointing aswell as not worth absorbing the calories. Overal not a bad experience."

"Just took a delivery of a Sals Kiev with chips and garlic bread. We asked for the garlic bread to be crispy (as it always should be) and the receptionist said no problem. What we got was disgusting. The pizza was cold, the chips were frozen fries and the garlic bread was a finger roll with garlic butter in the middle awful (and cold). The pizza dough was also under cooked which I would have thought is almost impossible. We called back to register our concerns and the receptionist was less than helpful. She basically didn't give a c**p. Some customer service. The strange thing is we were not asking for out money back we were just giving feedback but she didn't care. This is only my 2nd tripadvisor review ever and I hope the Big Als owner sees this and takes some action. We asked the receptionist to pass our concerns on to the manager but I seriously doubt that he was informed. Maybe a change of staff would be in order. The sad thing is Big Als 20 years ago was really good. Obviously standards have dropped. We will never order from Big Als again. Just a pity we don't have any decent take outs in Ballymena."
