"We visited Springfield Inn on December 1st for the first time. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive, but the wait for the main meals was excessive, even though the pub was not over busy. The food was pricey for a pub, especially as most of the food was over-cooked when it did arrive. We had three portions of fish chips which most pubs can nail, but the fish had been in the frier too long and over-salted, the batter was rigid and fish dry. The mushy pea ramekins were half full, and the dish did not reflect the £16.95 it cost. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4"

"we have booked this beautiful boutique hotel for a few days to get away from it all and it is not disappointed. the atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is attentive and friendly. when we visited a previous one, we tried to try the dinner menu at the time, as it was quite brilliant and we were not disappointed! the standard is of a very high quality and, although not cheap, it is worth every penny. we would recommend this hotel to anyone who likes to be chilled and treated with great food, drinks and service."

"I took my mom out for her birthday to this wonderful restaurant. The ambience was lovely and I highly recommend trying the Bay Tree Rossini - it was delicious. I would definitely return. The service, meal type, dinner, and price per person were all great. I rated the food, service, and atmosphere a 5 out of 5. I recommend trying the Steak Rossini."

"What a horrendous experience. I really don’t know where to start, we work hard all year and finished work on Friday 22nd so booked to go to the star on Saturday to start our family Christmas celebrations. Were had a dreadful year and were looking forward to a nice meal out. Firstly when we arrived the waitress came within minutes to take our order. I asked if we could order drinks and just give us a few minutes to look at the food menu. My son ordered a regular Coke, I ordered the Christmas cosmo cocktail and my husband the zero alcohol peroni. My god this was hard work , firstly I was told they might not be able to do the cocktail, my son was brought a pint of Coke and my husband a pint of peroni? He queried if it was correct as shed checked at least 3 times before what he wanted and was assured it was. However a few minutes later the waitress rushed over to advise it was in fact alcohol!! She then didn’t come back to take our food order for over 30 mins (I’d point out at this point the restaurant was more than half empty) When taking the food order we ordered the cheesy garlic bread , chorizo bites and olives to share as a starter. We were advised they didn’t have any cheese , so the bread would just be garlic bread. We agreed that would be fine. My husband ordered the duo of lamb, sorry no lamb was the response ! Eventually after another long wait our starters came out and omg ! The garlic bread was burnt to a crisp ! Black ! My husband took this back to the waitress and told her to take it back and take off our bill. How on earth any self respecting chef let that leave the kitchen , or a waitress bring that to a customer’s table is insulting. When the mains came we were at the point of giving up. Both my husbands main and my main were cold !! Stone cold. We decided to just eat what we could and get out of there. So we asked for the bill. We waited and waited and waited. All the time all three members of staff were huddled around the til. Obviously having an issue. But instead of coming over and apologising for the wait we were left sitting there. Eventually after calling IT they resolved the issue. On the way out my husband did express how bad the experience was. The manager offered to deduct something off the bill. But that would make no difference to our ruined lunch out. The food is below par, the prices were an absolute rip off!! Nearly £30 for a burger with a pig in blanket screwed to the top. I will not be returning here. It was a shame because 13 months ago we’d had a lovely meal , but this experience was horrendous. Never again"

"My wife and I went to CAU Wilmslow on our first date since the birth of our first child this week. Everything was great until we had to leave after about 1 hour. I asked for our food to take home in boxes and when the man returned with the food he gave us a bottle of wine on the house and was sorry we had to rush off. We were surprised and delighted with this level of customer service it was such a kind and genuine gesture. We will definitely return when Sofia is a little older."

"We were staying several nights at Kingston upon the Thames and walked along the riverfront one evening looking for someone to have dinner and decided to give Cote a try. It was early dinner, and not too busy. We choose an outside patio table as the weather was decent and had a nice view of the river and people walking by. Our server was fairly new, but did his best to take care of us, sometimes asking for help from others when he was not sure. Overall the service was quite good. We had french onion soup and capers for appetizer. Both tasty and served promptly. For mains we had the Chicken and Salmon, both quite delicious. For dessert the creme brulee and berries with ice cream. Towards the end it was getting quite busy, so I'm glad we went early. Overall a very enjoyable and relaxing meal and good value. Definitely recommend it."

"Today I had Sunday lunch at The Golden Lion. I had the Lamb and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection and the meal was just the right portion size. The Roast potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding were mouth wateringly good. You're also given broccoli, green beans and red cabbage which were the perfect accompaniment to the meal. I was with family members who said that their beef was delicious as well. I had the Sunday lunch when The Golden Lion started doing them and they were nice then but now they are fabulous and I highly recommend that you try them. I would also add that the service from the friendly staff is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble. Well done Golden Lion. Will be back soon."

"Very good cuts, great meal. Coming from the likes of Hawksmoor, Smith and Wollenskys and Goodman in London (and Morton’s in New York last month to dining at a provincial chain in Reading, I wasn’t expecting much. Miller and Carter Reading were quite poor indeed by comparison so I imagined they set the bar low, that this was the standard of service you get from a typical chain restaurant outside the capital. However I was very wrong indeed. Cuts of steak, (up to a 600g sirloin! preparation, marinades were very tasty indeed and good quality, the service was first rate and all things considered added up to a very enjoyable occasion. Thanks very much guys. One small request, ordering medium well doesn’t usually equate to rare in the middle for me but the cut was so good just to hold it under the flame for a few more seconds seemed like an unnecessary additional request, and I may have misunderstood the Argentinian benchmark. For those used to a more UK centric dining experience, I would suggest a translation of medium well medium rare here, but maybe that was just a one off based on the size of the cut I ordered. Otherwise five stars and hope to be back."

"I have visited many pubs for meals, but I have to say, the food at this restaurant is incomparable. The roasts were served hot, fresh, and quickly. My mother's vegetarian meal was exceptional, my beef roast was delicious, and my daughter's meal was also very tasty. She was provided with a kids' activity sheet to keep her entertained while we waited, although the service was prompt and friendly. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was not too busy or crowded. The location is lovely and I highly recommend this restaurant."

"The area and the pub are absolutely beautiful, and when we arrived the staff were great. The room was very nice but you could hear every conversation from the bar below as if the person was in our room with us! So not as peaceful as advertised! Whilst my food was alright- not as nice as i expected-several other diners walked out because service was appalling. And on waking this morning, we had no electricity or water in our room! When I went to find help there were NO staff to be found, I walked around the whole pub- kitchen included. Even rang the number on the website (no answer) Eventually found 1 agency staff who had only started the day before so didn't have a clue what was going on either! Would not recommend."

"Ltd menu due to supplier Covid issues which is understandable, however the prawn and salmon starter is basically a pot of seafood sauce. The cod and chips served with 8.5 chips and the Martini Eaton mess did not have martini. I have marked service as high due to the waitress being pleasant however watching her gnawing on fruit at the bar between service was a little weird."

"This is a great pub and food is normally very good, however we went there for a Sunday Roast and we were very disappointed, we chose pork with crackling, the crackling was totally inedible as it was as tough as shoe leather and the waiter did also agree that he would have a word with the chef and the potatoes were under cooked with black bits in. It was very disappointing."

"I made a reservation at the restaurant/pub through OpenTable, and received confirmation. Everything seemed fine. However, a few hours later, I received a call from The Crown saying they were fully booked and could not honor my reservation. I'm not sure where the issue lies, but my experience with The Crown through OpenTable was extremely disappointing. I would recommend booking directly with the restaurant in the future, although this shouldn't have been necessary."

"we were on the way from North Yorkshire to Scotland. we had no desire to eat quickly wanted a nice meal. this came locally on our Google maps for restaurant. and honestly it was not disappointed. service was amazing. the personal was so beautifully checked and chatted on them. eating was amazing. the toilets were amazing melting so fresh. the whole pub was clean very secret. Honest for everything."
"We had been to this pub some months ago to attend a Wake, of which it was good. We were again in the area after a Funeral and wanted a light bite. The pub offers good parking although smashed glass in the car parking area. Seating inside or out. We choose indoors. The menu had a good variety of choice. However after placing an order of a Small Fish and Chips around 6.50, and a starter with Haddock and Cheese, the waitress returned to our table to inform us there was no haddock. The order was replaced with a Waldorf Salad, at 8.50. Two pieces of chicken, no celery was present and not even half a walnut. Great sauce over lettuce though! The walnut pieces were the size of pin heads. I pointed this out to the waitress as I could not see any, nor could I recognize the pieces of walnut they could have pine pine nuts, and when we came to pay, I mentioned the lack of celery and walnuts again, as the message had not been given to other staff. Therefore value for money: regards Salad= poor Service: average, staff were not concerned about customers, nor did we feel looked after. A disappointing visit. It was a Thursday and quiet around 8pm"

"We visited the restaurant for the first time for my partner's birthday meal, and we absolutely loved it. Our son, who is usually quite fussy, really enjoyed his burger and was the first to finish! My steak was cooked to perfection, and the meat juices were simply amazing. If only Miller & Carter served a few slices of crusty bread to soak up those delicious juices, I would have been exceptionally happy! I must admit, I didn't quite understand the point of the wedge of salad, and to be honest, I could have done without that. Our waiter was very attentive, though I regret that I can't remember his name."

"It's been the Hit Miss Inn again for us, I'm afraid! We stopped off on the way back from MK for lunch on a Tuesday. Little welcome on arrival, the two guys serving seemed a bit lackadaisical to us. We'd like to eat....where can we sit...it was us asking all the questions! Anyway, we sat in a quiet area, away from the work going on at the front of the pub. Was there table service? No...it appeared not. So, I went to the bar and ordered. When the food came my wife liked her lasagna and my pie was OK. We discussed over our food how service can differ so much at a pub...my wife came here recently with a friend and had good service. Obviously not this time. In the end we went for 4-stars but if this second visit was a one-off it would have been 3. Surprising, to be honest! Disappointing too!"

"Great choice! The food was well-cooked and beautifully presented. They were more than willing to make adjustments to the dish without any hesitation (I opted for the usual macaroni instead of the peppered version). The staff was very friendly as well."

"We came here for a family lunch on Sunday 1st September and had a really great experience we were seated on the roof terrace, which was lovely given the great weather, and the food and drinks were all of a really high standard, and were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. However, the other stand out here was the service, so a big shout out to Emily Farrow, as she was simply brilliant nothing was too much trouble, she was so friendly, remaining professional and polite, and it is only when you receive such good service that you realise what a difference it makes to the overall experience, so great job!"
