"No record of booking on turning up, therefore no allergy on record. Staff inattentive and largely absent. We were shoved in a corner next to a wall. Forgot my half of the drink order; I asked for coffee and they brought out a cafetiere with just water in it. Food came out well into booking time, items removed (not substituted) because of my allergy even though I flagged it on my booking. Toni was great in checking in after and boxed up what we felt we couldn't eat because we had run out of time. Wasn't sure what to expect price wise because it's not clear on the website but have had much better teas for that cost. It's a shame because we hadn't been before. Is the missed booking because you take from multiple booking sources? A bit disappointing, we probably won't do it again."

"The Hoddington Arms is simply fantastic, we went for a Sunday Roast and it was excellent, the Yorkshires are giant !! The beef was cooked perfectly and the roast potatoes were definitely on point. Thanks to the whole team for yet another outstanding Luncheon. Parking: Limited hard standing, tarmac, overflow field can be muddy, advise a 4x4 /SUV... if you are on horse back there are x2 open stalls to park/tie your horse to, which is handy if you 're out for a hack."

"I booked this restaurant for my mum's birthday. They set our table in the requested sofa area and we got a cosy corner which had been decorated with some small trinkets. My mum likes this restaurant so that's why we booked it. My sister and her bf live in Dalston which is known for Turkish restaurants shoulder to shoulder, they were pleasantly surprised and loved the food. I have been here before with my mum and I think they took extra care cooking the meats this time as all were perfectly cooked.. The fish was a little over cooked but it was still nice. This is not a fine dining restaurant and is your typical take-away or eat inside style place so I was very thankful for the care they took. Our waiter was also very nice but they always are, last time was the same when we went. The house was 3/4 full but I didn't feel like I was waiting."

"beautiful Sunday dinner for my wife and me. both the black and the lamb were great and beautifully sized. the children pasta was also delicious, with the garlic bread. also the deserts were great and everything was washed out with beautiful beer and a beautiful rose. we probably ate too much! very friendly and attentive service of the team. only at the bottom. are good if they had smaller cutlery for children."

"This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was impressed by their diverse menu that catered to a range of tastes. The staff were extremely friendly and personable, and really added to the overall experience of dining here. I would rate the service, food, and atmosphere all a 5 out of 5. The price per person for lunch was between £20-30."

"Very disappointing. I booked private room for my 50th and had someone come to decorate room before arriving she advised me that the manager Darren was rude to her when she arrived and told her to stop whilst he was speaking to some random person. I was advised £20 per head and I paid for extra 2 as they couldn’t go but didn’t want to say. Now checking bill I have been given a £30 service charge which I was never advised about. After settling drinks and food bill no one came to me and asked if everything was ok, so we just up and left even though we had room for another hour and half. Wasn’t willing to spend any more money. Will say food was lovely and bar staff was pleasant enough. But just found the guy Darren very off not sure if he owner or manager but seriously needs to brush up on manners if he wants people though that door! Everyone asked me today how Bistro 210 was gave them the honest answer won’t be back!"

"a traditional English pub with modern flair. they have a good selection of their favorite tips with a particularly good selection of gins. also one has to try is a flight from some of the national and local ales. they have the biggest hits of the British kitchen, fish and chips, steak and ale cake and the scotch ei. If they never had a scotch egg, they have to try. if they miss a vacation and diet, they try the brotpudding, fantastic! they also have a selection of salads. the goat is very beautiful. the pub is family friendly and dog friendly. they will even put out a bowl for their dogs. the personal is friendly and eager to serve them. a great place to see old friends and make new ones. almost forgotten to mention, the sunday roast is a must!"

"Stopped here on route from Worcester to North Wales and what a find! Went in with out a reservation and it was no problem, lovely menu, hard to choose what to get. Went for the Beef Brisket with Horseradish Mash and Buttered Greens and Gravy and oh my! Beef was melt in the mouth and proper mash and veg that was perfectly cooked. My husband went for the curry and had it extra spicy and it sure was that. It came half and half with chips and rice and a basket of Naan. My daughter had the mac and cheese with Garlic Bread and for the 1st time the meal came out the perfect temperature for her to eat straight away! The staff were all lovely. I would definitely come back again if we were passing this way. 5 stars from me."

"Staff were welcoming and it was explained to us that we would have to wait a little while for a seat because of overbooking which was a little disappointing. However, it was not a long wait and we both agreed that the food, (steak and ale pie and beef lasagne) were beautifully cooked."

"Our party was a group of 6 friends getting together for the first time in 3+ years one couple visiting from the USA The food drink and service were excellent unfortunately it was extremely noisy in the bar area where we were seated probably due to the presence of a very noisy raucous group sat at the bar Having said that it would not discourage the 4 locals of us returning soon"

"After hearing great things about The Oak Room, we were eager to try it out, and for the most part, we were not disappointed. There was a hiccup upon arrival as they seemed to have lost our reservation, but once that was resolved, we received excellent service from the pre-dinner drinks in the lounge all the way through to our meal in the main dining area. It was a nice touch that, upon discovering it was my wife's birthday, they served her dessert with a birthday message while the pianist softly played "Happy Birthday." The food was just as impressive as the service, making for a very enjoyable evening that will definitely encourage us to return."

"This is OUR local pub when we visit York. Right near our apartment. What we love is that there are lots of regular locals in...a sign of a good pub...some have been drinking here for 40+ years. The last time we went in for an afternoon quick half...lets just say it was 10 pints each later...fab afternoon and lovely customers both regulars and tourists. Lovely bar area...with open fire when it 's chilly...very quaint and always customers in to have great conversation with. Lovely lounge area too...and upstairs is where they serve the food. We had a Sunday lunch which was awesome with a massive fresh yorshire pudding. We have been in on quiz night which was great fun...and a few times when they have had live music...which is a great atmosphere and gets everyone singing along. The staff are so polite...always smiling and so helpful and friendly too. Proper old traditional pub...great staff...great place. We will be back."

"Total failure to meet Indigo’s basic promise of pre theater meal. We booked this restaurant from the US specifically because of its promise of its pre theatre special menu and service. We relied on their local knowledge and advise and booked at 6 for a 7:30 curtain . We Arrived at 6:05 delayed by an misdirected Uber) and seated promptly and ordered the simplest pre theatre menu after we confirmed our theatre plans and need for extra time as slow walkers. They confirmed no issues. Food and drink was fine but no time to eat as the entree arrived 10 minutes before our required departure time. If you can’t meet your promise, don’t promise. Totally failed."

"Our table was laid ready and waiting for us, but the tables were incredibly close to each other and we chatted to diners next to us as we were seated so closely. Salmon and Fennel was very disappointing and, although the side order of chips was fine, there was no vegetables to order with my meal. Desserts were very good. Service OK, but needed to attract staff at times to progress our order. Perfectly situated for our concert at The London Palladium and very grateful to have our table reserved, but main meals underwhelming."

"On the day that myself and a friend went to The George for lunch it was very busy. We had booked thankfully but rather than be shown to our table the man behind the bar pointed toward the restaurant and said we were in the corner. After sitting for 20minutes I caught the eye of a female serving staff who said she'd be with us in 2 minutes.......15 more minutes later I managed to get the attention of a lovely member of staff. She was less than impressed that we had not be asked if we wanted drinks by the man at the bar, who apparently had also failed to tell us when we arrived, that there was a 45 60 minute wait for food. True to her word our food was the next served so we waited for 45 minutes. The food was tasty but definitely not worth the wait. We had booked for 12.30 but were eating closer to 2pm. I expect The George would be ideal on quieter days but it appeared that they struggled to cater for large numbers. Very disappointed."

"New Management. I discovered this cafe 3 years ago when a lovely brunette girl by the name Jerry and her mother Sonya had taken over management. For 3 years the cafe has worked like clockwork with amazingly cheap comfort food. The family have run this cafe with love tha reflected on the way they treated their customers. I have witnessed members of staff hugging other customers and I myself have neen given several freebies. The chef (mother) even baked her own spinach cake and allowed me to try it for free. Unfortunately, this family have left and have been replaced by a new group of people who should not be allowed to run a cafe. Even the cakes are what you would get for £10 in Costco....read more"

"After hearing great reviews about The Oak Room, we were not disappointed. There was a slight hiccup with our booking upon arrival, but once sorted, we were well taken care of from pre-dinner drinks in the lounge to our meal in the main restaurant. The staff even noticed it was a special occasion and surprised my wife with a birthday message on her dessert while a pianist played Happy Birthday quietly in the background. The food was delicious and the service was excellent, making it a very enjoyable evening. We will definitely be returning in the future."

"Having had an enjoyable day at IWM Duxford, we were looking for somewhere to eat on the way home. Many places we tried were permanently closed, or extortionate gastro pubs. Stumbled across this gem of a pub. I had fish and chips, followed by bread and butter pudding. My partner had sirloin steak (which was superbly cooked), followed by ice cream. The restaurant and toilets were scrupulously clean, and the service very friendly and efficient. Very surprised that the restaurant was so quiet considering the quality of the food."
