"a difficult review when the restaurant tried to provide the service that I am sure they wanted. a busy Saturday midday in December, all the tables were tightly packed, there were no ceiling ventilation or were all windows open to provide covid ventilation protection. the menu is large with a lot of choice. we went for a selection of starters to share under the family. most were very small dishes, the flower flowers bites consisted only small floccules. I think that this was too expensive for everyone. for the net I divided half a steak/ale cake and crispy chili bark. the bark in the torte was chewing and blande, the chips rode in a customs of their life, and the muddy peas were simply crushed, cultivated garden. the chili beef on the other side was sensational, fully spiced, steaming hot and loads of it, with rice and crack. the dishes could no longer differ in quality and taste. similar mixed results were reported from the rest of the table. I appreciate that covid has hit local food companies hard and they are still trying to get their pre-pandemic service. there were many guests who were fed and the kitchen struggled to supply consistency; our main dishes were delivered in intervals, so we did not eat together and it took to put the net on the table. as mentioned it was brushed, but a service fee was added to the bill. I think this is a bad service, even if one takes into account the difficulties of the covid. I hope that this feedback will be taken and traded so that we can see an improvement when we visit next."

"A very disappointing experience. Firstly, we were served complimentary bread which was served completely hot and very clearly microwaved it was also quite inedible as it was very tough and near enough impossible to eat, quite possibly because it had been microwaved for so long. Our starters were okay, with the nicest part being olives, however the roast lamb was also well below average and didn't live up to expectation. We didn't bother with desserts as they had sold out of half of them (it was a sunday early lunchtime) and the table next to us had an nightmare ordering them which resulted in their desserts coming out at different times. Service was okay, however very slow considering we were only 1 of 3 tables in the restaurant although this could be explained by the fact that there was only one member of staff to be seen. Overall very disappointed as the reviews we had read had been good. Parking: Plenty of space."

"My daughter requested very last minute an impromptu family dinner for her 18th birthday. Having eaten and enjoyed previously at T&K I called and explained the situation. They pulled out all the stops to give us a fantastic table on a busy Saturday night. The manager remembered from the booking that it was her birthday which started our experience in such a thoughtful way. It’s lovely when someone you don’t know says happy birthday. We all ordered and were looked after brilliantly by the hard working waitress. The food was excellent sashimi and hanger steak and not sure how we managed a dessert but we did! T&K has a wonderful vibe, lovely people working there who care that you have a good time and delicious food and cocktails. The price of 3 courses for £35 was extremely good value for the quality. For once my steak arrived rare when requested! We will be back, just try stopping us."

"Had Sunday dinner there on 5th November 2023. Everything came out hot, and there was a lot of it. It was very tasty, but I found the beef to be a little chewy, not all of i, just some of it. The roast potatoes could have been crispier, and the gravy (although had a lot of flavour) could have done with being a little thicker... overall, it's not bad, and I will go back to see if there are any improvements. Price per person: £10–20"

"[edit] kept me a promise to return to food, and I was not disappointed. We have sung with friends that we haven't seen for over five years, and it was the ideal choice to recover from a beautiful meal. A warm and welcoming welcome from all employees, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We ordered drinks from the bar and immediately sat in the dining room. Menus and specialties of the day were provided. Although it was pretty busy, we never felt cramped or that it was too loud as it could be in other settings. The layout of the tables made our group of four feelings, we had private food, also occupied with any other table. We chose Pate (x2), mussels and engraving, followed by Red Lion Burger, Pasta parmigiana, fish and chips and duck. For dessert, Rhabarb crumb cake, sticky toffee pudding. All dishes came sharp with perfect timing. Our servers were always available for drinks, but never float ominous. The food here is excellent. Really. I haven't eaten it well for some time. A great thank you to Phil, John and her staff for having an evening to remember for all the right reasons. What the personal touch must be. You have just expanded the outdoor seating area, and I am happy to come back when it is warmer to enjoy some fine al fresco restaurants. [1. Review] We visited a birthday function here in the beer garden. What a beautiful pub that is. They even had a pizza van that made delicious fresh pizzas. The staff were efficient and extremely helpful and friendly, always on hand, and from the comments I heard from other diners in the pub, everyone had enjoyed their meals. I will definitely return with my family."
