"This was a visit to celebrate 2 adult birthdays, booked at quite short notice. We arrived a little early but were greeted and seated quickly, but without a rush. Having pre-ordered (there were 9 of us, 1 child, 7 adults and one in that age range when child or an adult can appear, depending upon time, conversation, mood [mostly mood] and in who 's company he is in), only the drinks order needed to be taken and the drinks were delivered in a timely manner. We were well into getting updated and talking across each other when our meals arrived. These were hot, tasty and sufficient unto the hour. (that is to say, that they hit the spot).There were no complaints beyond, too much, I can 't do a pudding. (That didn 't stop all of us mind). Then came the bill . . . . . .Hmmmm Nowadays, I travel light. Credit and debit card on my phone, NO change, in fact, no real money at all. I can 't remember the last time I used proper folding jangling type money. Can I add a tip onto the bill and pay by card, I asked. Sorry, no was the reply. You can certainly pay the bill, she said, but we can 't add a tip. Really?? In this day and age of fast food and fast money, I can 't add a tip to the bill? How about you add a 10% service charge? Again; Sorry, no was the reply. You can certainly pay the bill, she said, but we can 't add a service charge. Really?? In this day and age of fast food and fast money, I can 't add a service charge to the bill? Is this a regular thing I asked. No, we have done it before the lady said, but, we just can 't do it now, the system won 't let us. We left somewhat, richer than expected, but, somewhat disgruntled as well. In this day and age, tipping is more the norm than it ever was. We customers like to show our appreciation and a round of applause really won’t cut it in a restaurant. Can I ask that Greene King ensures that we, the food, buying, drink guzzling public can offer your staff our appreciation in a way that helps us all?"

Popped in with my husband to try some of the dishes on the new menu. The beef bourguignon was lovely, proper comfort food. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious! Nice tasting beer too!!

Just had a lovely Xmas meal at the Duke of wellington, the roast turkey dinner was one of the best I have ever had. The turkey was beautifully moist and all the veg was cooked to perfection and amazing value for money, will definitely be back again. View menu

We hadn't been to the Duke of Wellington for a while following a couple of experiences of badly cooked food, and terrible service, but we decided to give it another try after reports improved. I'm pleased to say that the food and service were excellent! In fact my wife said that her lamb shank was the best she had had for some time! Keep up the good work we will be back soon.

We went to this restaurant on December 29th to celebrate my son's 16th birthday with a nice evening meal. We had reserved a table for 7pm, but by 9pm our food still had not arrived despite being told it was being prepared half an hour earlier. It was a disappointing experience and we do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Other customers in the restaurant were also facing the same issue.

The dining experience at this restaurant was not great. We went for lunch, but it didn't start off well. The Cokes we ordered came in stained glasses and were only half filled. The starters were disappointing; the chorizo and prawn starter was disgusting, and the beef dumpling was just okay but came with a weird gravy that neither my wife nor I could stomach. Additionally, my fork had several angles and looked like it had been damaged. We had to ask for napkins, which should have been provided as standard. Overall, we were not impressed and decided to leave before ordering our main course. View menu

Gorgeous food and lovely atmosphere! After a bad experience in a nearby pub just before in Terling, we took a chance and managed to get a table in the bar area. We had the ‘sharing homemade nachos’ (gorgeous) starter and then I enjoyed the beef pie with mash and broccoli. My husband had the chicken and ham hock pie. We both couldn’t be happier with our meals (nice and hot too) and the attentive staff. We will 100 percent be back and will see you at the upcoming bottomless brunch in December. So glad we called in and parted with our money with you guys and not the pub before hand! Thank you!

visited a family dinner that was ordered quickly and arrived quickly. we all had the roast and were beautiful. after our records were collected, we were not visited voluntarily by a worker. we were not asked if we wanted desserts or drinks. I had to go into the bar after about mins to order dessert, and then after further mins we had to go back to the bar to hunt where the desserts were. it is a scandal because the food was delicious, including desserts, and the personal was friendly enough at the beginning, but clear under personal. although there were empty tables, it was not in full capacity.

"We came here on a last minute hunt to find a Sunday roast with family without much expectations. However when entering its a lovely set up and we were greeted by Lee and Alison who looked after us for the meal who just to begin were absolutely brilliant, they really care about the customers and make this place extra special. Now for the food you can get a 2 or 3 course meal so everybody made various selections but all had starters. Most went for the Aarancina which isn't your usual starter with a Sunday roast but for here it packs alot of flavour and is a great way to start the meal. They have a great selection of alcoholic beverages I went for a simple beer. For the main roasts we had a variety of meats I wanted the pork but sadly they had no crackling which was half the reason for ordering but if I am being honest after eating the meal it wasn't missed out the meat was tasty full of flavour but the sides were the key. The roast potatoes were of a top level usually when you eat out they are never as good as eating at home, the Yorkshire were huge and tasty, gravy brilliant with plenty to go around and lots of veg and cauliflower cheese on the side. Honestly this was excellent a really good roast probably the best I have ever ate in a resteraunt. Some of the others had the lamb shank which was huge and had great feedback but the beef was great and so was everything else. So yes check it out eat in and eat some great food in a nice setting with absolutely brilliant service you won't be disappointed."
