"We used to frequent this pub often in the past, but heard that it had changed ownership, so we decided to meet our friends here. We were excited to catch up with friends we hadn't seen in a while. However, when we arrived, my husband inquired about their ale selection and was informed they only had Harveys with no other options. The server who brought our drinks had dirty fingernails, which was off-putting. When it came time to order food, one of our friends asked about a Christmas menu and was told it needed to be pre-ordered, as stated on their website. Despite our frequent visits in the past, we had not checked the website. The food was tasty, but the service was lacking. We had to request drinks and were not asked about our meals once they arrived. At 9:40, a lady approached us with the bill and informed us they were closing soon. When we asked for another drink, we were denied. My husband requested to remove the service charge, which caused some tension with the lady taking payment. She questioned why he wouldn't pay it, stating that everyone charges it, which we found rude. Overall, the poor service has discouraged us from returning or recommending the pub to others, despite the delicious food. It's disappointing, as we had hoped the new management would focus on attracting and retaining customers."

"Right off the bat, the customer service was brilliant!! I made an inquiry for a table for 10 people, had a swift response in the form of a phonecall saying my original time couldn't be catered for, the fantastic staff member on the end of the phone informed me why but very much didn't have to, so I changed my time and got booked in. We arrived and were seated immediately, a member of staff was ready and waiting to take out drinks order when we had decided, considering we were a party of 10 both the drinks and food arrived in a very timely manner. My buttermilk chicken burger was pretty hefty and so so flavoursome, there were many roasts which were also thoroughly enjoyed without complaint!! The fish, absolutely huge and very very crispy. We had a vegan friend dining with us who said her curry was delicious but could have been slightly bigger and there could have been more options. Other than that minor note we had a fantastic time visiting The Whitehart Pirbright and will definitely be visiting again."

"Really nice pub, great views of the whole of Portsmouth. The good first, food and service was excellent, 100% recommend! Now the sad bit. My sister and her husband booked this pub for our mothers wake. Many of our guests (15ish) didn 't get their desserts even though it was charged for. The bar staff said we could purchase another dessert as the table 17 tab (our tab) was now closed. We were told the reason was we didn 't eat fast enough and they now didn 't have staff to make the desserts. About 30 mins later the manager came over and offered us a refund on all the people who didn 't get a dessert. He did confirm the desserts were charged for under the table 17 tab. Yes many of us were frustrated, we said it was ok to keep the money and we left. Very saddened to write a review like this."

"went for a weekend walk around wimbledon common, but needed a bit susceptibility on the way. I was recommended to spend the hand in hand or the fox grapes when I was ready to spend a little more. Finally, the fox grapes were the one we took (both literally and metaphorically). it was a bit more pricier than normal, but eating was a quality to fit. I chose the squid and triple boiled chips. the squid was perfectly broken, and while the three-fold boiled chips were not as good as others I tasted, the muddy heaps were excellent. the positive noise from the other side of the table suggested that the burger was also quite good!"

"On a positive note, the mini bread rolls were fantastic! The macaroni and cheese was good, and my burger was delicious, with tasty chips on the side. However, I did have an issue with the children's meal we ordered. We requested chicken strips with cheese and a tiny portion of broccoli. Instead, we received actual grilled chicken breast, which wasn't what we expected for chicken strips. I personally enjoy this kind of dish, but children often do not, so it ended up going to waste. Additionally, the portion of broccoli was too small; there was barely enough for a few bites. Despite these issues, I would consider returning to the restaurant."

"We go to the Safari Grill at least once or twice a week. Their lunch menu features a wide variety of options that are perfect for my family's selective eaters. The breakfast menu is equally diverse, making sure there's something for everyone's taste. The service is outstanding, the prices are quite affordable, and the ambiance is welcoming and laid-back."

"It was my first visit to The William, and I wasn't sure what to expect. After a long nine-mile journey, I was in need of a drink and a meal. I was served at the bar by Oscar, who was incredibly friendly and polite. I ordered a curry, which arrived within just 10 minutes. I found it delicious and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The atmosphere was very relaxed, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The England vs. Switzerland game was being shown — a stroke of luck for me since I had no idea they were playing! By the way, England won 2-1! Overall, it was a really pleasant experience, and I definitely plan to return. I only wish I could have stayed longer."

"Following a long journey to Stoke by Nayland, we found this quaint pub in the village and decided to go for lunch here. This country pub features everything you could want with a log fire near the entrance, a nice bar with plenty of variety and it has its own wine “cellar” type room! My partner and I decided to grab a bite to eat, ordering the flat ironed steak, accompanied with steak cut chips, garlic mushrooms and a garlic sauce, and I ordered the steak and mushroom pie, accompanied with freshly steamed veg and a dollop of mash. Both plates arrived promptly and the food on both plates was superb, tasted fresh and locally sourced. The added bonus was the chef singing I’m a believer in the background, not the best version I’ve heard but none the less a valiant attempt and great to hear the staff in good spirits during the current situation. Overall my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and the atmosphere in the pub, we’d definitely recommend and we may pop in before we leave!"

"Called in after a very busy day around the shops. Very warm welcome and they cleared a table for us within a couple of minutes as we hadn't booked in advance. We were just at the right time to order a cream tea which was delicious. Beautifully served in silver tea set. Fresh scones with jam and cream. If you are visiting it is definitely worth booking in advance as it was quite busy. Good toilets. Very welcoming and attentive staff . The lunch menu looked very good as did the ala carte menu."

"This pub is located at the end of Old Amersham, and the lady at the bar was very friendly and welcoming. There were plenty of seating options, and when the sun is shining, the pub garden is a lovely place to relax. The food we ordered—a chicken sandwich—was decent. However, I had requested the chicken without breadcrumbs, and it came with them instead (there were two versions available). I didn’t mention it at the time."

"If you wanna go to a restaurant and have the most wonderful experience in your life, you need to go to Chequers of Orwell. The food is above Michelin star quality, surprises me it has no Michelin star yet. The chef David makes magic. I have always enjoyed this place and I go whenever I can. I recommend everybody visiting at least once because writing down is not even near the tasty experience. Ah and did I mention the dessert? The chocolate fondant is something unimaginable... the best dessert I ever had by far. The staff are always prompt to help and are courteous too. The only complaint is the lack of Chequers worldwide! I wish I could eat there everyday of my life."

"This was our first Christmas dinner out as a family so we did not know what to expect. We have been to the Packe Arms many times and have always been impressed. Christmas Day was no exception. Staff were lovely, food was brilliant and the atmosphere was very festive. We particularly loved that there was a busy atmosphere but that the pub had not been packed to the max. The flow of families was very well managed, it wasn't too crowded and you weren't rushed off your table either, but there were enough people about to feel like tounwere sharing the daybwith others. We were served quickly but leisurely and not once we're we made to feel an inconvenience or a bother. Staff seemed to be happy working and we're all in good spirits too Kid-friendliness: Our children have always been welcomed and accommodated here Price per person: £80–90 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free of charge parking lot"

"I often think of this place as a poor man hawley arms where everything is similar, but it lacks a certain glamour. instead of being stylish, it comes as a little bit garish, but don't let us stick to the superficial area. the choices of beer are sufficient as eating is when a little expensive for what it is. my favorite thing at this place is the secluded dach terrace in the back, which is actually very intimate and relaxing when they find their way there. drink a good place for a chilled afternoon before an evening spent somewhere else in the Camden area."

"We visited today and glad we had booked! We received a very warm greeting at the door and were shown to a good sized table with large comfortable chairs. Even though the beamed ceilings are low it did not feel claustrophobic. The decor is tasteful, and everywhere was clean and neat. The tables are not too close to each other and positioned so that it didn’t feel like a canteen. We were greeted warmly by a lady who took our drinks order. These arrived swiftly. Our food order was taken promptly and we were impressed that she checked for any allergies first. We went for the roast with a trio of meats. There were chicken, pork and beef. Each of these were cooked to absolute perfection. Homemade Yorkshires was a welcome change compared to most pubs. Large, crisp and light. The crackling, potatoes, stuffing, and roasted veg were all delicious. They were cooked to perfection and so well seasoned that nothing needed salt or pepper adding. We ordered the trio of veg and potatoes to share, because they sounded so delicious (and they were) but we probably didn’t need to. The BEST Dauphinoise we’ve ever had! Bottomless gravy was another welcome change. Our very friendly, efficient and helpful waitress Aimee checked back on us swiftly and then regularly. Everything was just perfect with the main course, and despite feeling full we forced down the trio of desserts to share, and the too tempting Baileys Chocolate Martini! The ambience was perfect too. No loud music or chairs scraping, due to carpets. All of the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there and our waitress Aimee is a credit to the business. (We were the party with the nippy dog sorry). The plate of treats for our dog was a lovely touch too. We have already booked for the very reasonably priced Christmas meal. If it’s this good on a busy day then we are very confident for our next visit. Highly recommended."

"The food was absolutely delicious, the place itself was aesthetically pleasing and just a delight to be in! They were able to accommodate a buggy and we were seated on a table with plenty of space. We had a 2 hour limit, but we weren't rushed and the service was overall excellent! Really enjoyed our meal, and would definitely come back!"

"We had a fantastic dinner here on Saturday night! The atmosphere really transported us to Belgium. The food was both delicious and generous in portions. Be sure to save space for the waffles afterward! They offer an excellent beer selection, with many fruity options for those who prefer sweeter drinks. While the drinks are a bit pricey, the experience is definitely worth it. Plus, it's dog-friendly, which is a nice bonus! Meal type: Dinner."

"The setting of the restaurant is beautiful, but the appetizer we ordered was overpriced and took an unusually long time to arrive. The Chicken Madras, which was my main course, came out at 6:50 PM. While the rice and naan were very tasty, the madras itself was disappointingly sweet, overly tomatoey, and lacked depth of flavor. Since this was also a birthday celebration, we felt rushed and didn’t have time for dessert. We weren't the only ones facing issues; the table next to us also received the wrong drink and food orders. I have a fondness for the Penventon Hotel, having visited several times in the past and always enjoyed my experience, but last night was a complete disappointment. If you are going to offer a pre-theater dinner service, it’s essential to allow customers enough time to enjoy their meals. I made an effort to accommodate this, and it was disheartening to see such a decline in standards. I hope you can improve, as I expected much better from you."

"We visited on Saturday 10/09/2016 whilst looking round the National Gallery. The restaurant was busy but by no means full so, as we were shown to our table, we told the waitress that we wanted drinks only and she confirmed that was not a problem. The waiter eventually came over to take our order which was nice and simple, 1 tea and 1 coffee. We waited for 45 minutes and nothing turned up other than a small jug of milk but people that came in after us were all being served so we left in disgust. If they don't want customers who are not spending a fortune then they shouldn't tell us it was fine to order drinks only. Its a shame because the setting was very nice and relaxing."

"I went in January and ordered a quiche when my group went after a tour of Westminster Abbey. Quiche was quite good, but sort of expensive. The chips I stole from my group members were quite good as well. I love the vaulted ceilings and cozy, dim environment. I would go to other restaurants in London before this but it is certainly not a bad choice if you want to stay around Westminster Abbey!"
