French Hen - Menu

Have previously had good meals here but both food and service very poor tonight. Inattentive staff, slow service, overpriced and overcharged on drinks. I’d give this one a miss!

Food was amazing. We got a table for 6 at short notice and couldn’t fault the Sunday lunch, wine or service. Lovely airy restaurant. Huge portions and massive home cooked Yorkshire pud. All of it was delicious. Thank you for a fantastic meal.

Visited today for my birthday meal. I had the smoked salmon and prawn salad and my husband had the steak with the port and stilton sauce, it was a bit weak needed to be a bit thicker, but still tasted nice. We haven't been for a while, we won't leave it so long next time.

The roast was cold only one bowl of veg between 3 roasts. They forgot the children's meal, the meal was booked for 13.30 but was recorded in diary for 13. 00, I e-mailed them to inform them of the service and had no response therefore am writing a review. Terrible service

Had a super meal today food superb This place was better than the Miller Carter we had last night Well done to all Compliments to chef will definitely be back again Superb drink food service Cooked a blue steak baguette was perfect as husband particular food The lady was very good in the bar who served Well done to all a lovely relaxing summer afternoon Vicky Dave and Dan

Amazing Sunday lunch. Lamb was lovely very tasty. Husband enjoyed the roast beef. Veg were fresh and came separately which we liked. Hot plates and huge portions. Home made yorkshires very tasty, crispy and cooked to perfection. Good service although waitress could have asked if we wanted sauces when she bought out our meals as did have to ask for mint sauce and horseradish which took a while to arrive.

To start with booking a table via phone call, lovely pleasant lady took booking, very easy process. On arrival met and greeted by Adele who served us throughout our visit, a lovely friendly young lady, thank you. Ordered drinks, came swiftly. Like how she asked us if ready to order or like more time. We needed more time due to a varied menu and also a specials menu. Adele gave us enough time to choose. When food came it was amazing, excellent portions, well presented and great taste. We had a good time and one which we will certainly repeat in the near future.

We had lunch at the French Hen today. There was a good choice of food for meat eaters but not for my vegetarian daughter and vegan son. There was a vegetarian lasagne and a chilli but no vegetarian or vegan roast dinner option which is what they wanted. My daughter couldn't have the lasagne or chilli as they both contained courgette which she's allergic to. Both had to basically have just a plate of vegetables. Come on French Hen, get your act together! It's not unreasonable for customers to expect more vegetarian and vegan options in this day and age! We'll think twice before coming back.

cutlery was dirty had to ask for it to be changed. carrots was raw and looked grubby. sent apple crumble back as no crumble just three little one inch squares looked like pastry. picked another sweet chocolate and orange sponge with ice cream. sponge tasted more like treacle sponge than orange sponge. It was covered in thick chocolate sauce. this was not advertised like this, there was no mention of chocolate sauce at all. myself and partner have eaten at the french hen for years and felt it was always good food, this visit the food was terrible and was not upto their usual standard ! we will not going back!
