"What a great pub. We have driven past the Springfield so many times, but had never visited, until now. What a fantastically situated pub. We sat outside in the gardens and it was great, it was quiet, clean and well maintained. The pub itself is tastefully set out and it makes you want to go in the evening. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. It is well priced and the food is fantastic, if you are a fan of a burger, then treat yourself to their signature burger, it looks and tastes superb. We will definitely be going again and I would suggest that everyone else gives it a try. A real hidden gem."

"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"

"We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant for our golden wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We were touched by the special touch of the chef presenting us with chocolates on a slate with "Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary" written in yellow icing. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere was perfect for a special occasion dinner. We highly recommend this place. Price per person was around £80-90. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5."

"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."

"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."

"Ate here during the 50% off mains Black Friday offer and the restaurant was very busy, however our waitress Tracy was super attentive from start. She gave us the time we needed to order without forgetting about us and was friendly and chatty. There was an issue with one of the meals which was dealt with quickly by Tracy and then by Paul the Manager and once sorted, the food was good. Food: 4"

"What a fantastic experience. We made a reservation for Thursday night and were impressed by the attentive and knowledgeable staff. Our server was friendly and welcoming. The children's menu had generous portion sizes and quality equal to that of the adult dishes. My wife and I shared a delicious medium rare tomahawk steak, cooked to perfection with a smoky flavor from the open fire. Our daughter enjoyed the bone-in option. The fries were hot and crispy, sprinkled with sea salt. The salad was outstanding, featuring more than just lettuce and tomatoes - it included fresh crumbles that complemented the flavorful meat. The meal was excellent and reasonably priced. It's rare to find a restaurant that offers such a unique dining experience. We highly recommend it."

"The food, service and beer were good in a very good pub. The only frustration is that you cannot have a tab if you eat outside of the main building. Offered to leave card behind bar or even swipe at the start but no. Must be a better system!!!"

"The restaurant offers an absolutely amazing atmosphere, exceptional food, and attentive servers. The pots of tea served with dinner were of first class quality. I highly recommend this restaurant. There is plenty of parking available at the rear of The Wotton Hatch, and the price per person is around £20-30. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive a perfect score of 5. Recommended dishes include the Fish and Chips, Lamb Chops, and Dirty Burger."

"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."

"Situated just off the M6, this is a perfect stopping place to avoid motorway service menus if you're on a long haul to Scotland. I had a Geordie bon-bon starter and steak and ale pie as a main. But the menu had lots of choice and there were lots of others I could have chosen with equal enthusiasm. Beers and ambience were great too."

"**Review:** While the meals are on the expensive side, they are absolutely delicious. The restaurant does offer a few vegetarian options, but those following a vegan diet might find it challenging to find suitable choices. **Service:** Dine-in **Meal Type:** Lunch **Price per Person:** £20 – £30 **Food:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Service:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Atmosphere:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall, I would highly recommend it for its exceptional food and excellent service, though it's worth noting the limited options for vegetarians and vegans."

"This was our first time visiting the restaurant tonight, and it was a lovely dining experience. I had the sauce recommended by a very helpful staff member to accompany my steak, and it was delicious. They also suggested a great wine to pair with our meal, as well as a delightful cocktail for dessert. Thank you! My mother, Danielle, and I look forward to coming back soon. x"
"I visited the frozen mop with my family, 4 adults and 2 children. Lovely day so we sat outside Ordered all the meals , had to repeat the order several times , the two gentleman seemed confused After 30 minutes we asked where the food was , to be told it was been prepped. 10 minutes later it arrived and two meals were missing. The gentleman told me I hadn’t ordered the two missing meals , 100% I did as I had to repeat it twice . One of the meals missing was the little one , so we ended up splitting up the meals as she was hungry. 30-40 minutes later the meal arrived for my daughter. No apologies We then quizzed the bill . This took another 20 minutes Not once did the manager say they were sorry , missing meals , overcharged. Totally shocking It then took a phone call and an email to have the money sorted I have almost 800 reviews and I have never been made to feel in the way the manager did Not once an apology for the shocking service 100% I do not recommend and I Will not return Such a shame as I’m local"

"Valentine lunch. I had the lamb roast and my husband the cod and gourmet chips. Both were cooked to perfection which is such a rare thing. The chef cooked the meat, the fish and the vegs just right, the service was very good and we had a lovely game of cheese skittles afterwards. This lunch couldn't have gone better, spread the word!"

"Vegan eating is understandably sparse in hawkshead, happy to find somewhere with options. friendly staff, separate allergy menu, but a lot of it was gluten-free or only vegetarian. 2 decisions as far as I could see and I had the pizza that exceeded my expectations."
