"Just been for a Sunday lunch at porky’s with my family. We were 8 people and it was a bit of a disaster start to finish. The service here is normally pretty good but today despite having 7 waiters on for 8 tables it was diabolical. They were very slow to take our order and then announced that they had run out of almost all items on the main menu (no pork, no bbq sauce, no shrimp, no nachos). It took 3 trips to the kitchen by the waitress to establish what was left and we placed our order. 15 mins later they return again to say all the starters we had ordered were out of stock. It was 20 mins before our simple drinks order arrived. Yet more faffing ensued and we eventually got our replacement starters 1hr after arriving. It was then a further 1hr before any mains which trickled out over around 15 mins. In the time we were waiting dozens of takeaway orders were processed and sent out. The staff seemed to have no idea what they were delivering and repeatedly returned to the pass to clarify. The cutlery wasn’t replenished after our starters and no further drinks orders taken despite long empty glasses. The food itself was ok but nothing special. The Yorkshire puddings were so dry they were inedible. They seemed to have been kept in a big batch under the heat lamps and no one seemed to question why everyone in the restaurant was sending theirs back uneaten. The manager was sat in the corner of the restaurant throughout and at no point did he lift a finger to help his struggling staff. When we complained the waitress repeatedly went to talk to the manager who never came to speak to us himself to apologise. We asked for a reduction in the bill and eventually agreed on around 50% being taken off. Overall this was an incredibly frustrating meal that in no way reflected the usually high standard of food or service. The whole experience was worsened by the fact the management appeared to be witnessing the whole thing and just not caring or making any attempt to rescue the situation. Had a booking to go back with a group of friends later this week but will be cancelling and giving this place a wide berth for a while."

Lovely quick Sunday lunch, Morgan was attentive and very pleasant. Great beer selection and a very good flavour in slow cooked meats.

The food was delicious! I would highly recommend the Porkys pizza or the Mr. Porkys 2.0 burger. The service from Morgan was great as always.

Nice food but service was not the best, not given enough knives and forks for the table, we were given a pizza box to box away our own leftovers which I thought was a bit weird View menu

I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We were recommended to try it out by my wife's partner, and we had a great time.

Working locally and called in for dinner . Burger and peri peri fries and slaw plus a beer. £15. Decent value . Fries were very seasoned, burger was overly-charred for my liking, but all in all lovely taste. Had actually fancied some pulled pork or similar pit food but not even on menu except on a burger upgrade . Would come back though. Service was great View menu

This restaurant has undergone a change in management, and the difference is noticeable. The quality of the food and drinks has improved significantly - the double vodka seems like a triple! The presentation of the food was impressive, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The manager was very attentive, checking in with customers to ensure everything was to their satisfaction. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant more frequently now.

Thought it deserved another visit after my last disappointing visit as i heard it was under new management (hallelujah ! The good news it was better than my last visit, but still room for improvement. Service was much quicker, didn’t have to wait long for drink or food , food arrived hot and tasty. Staff generally friendly, although we didn’t ever get asked if meals were ok (2 children, 2 adults the only time we had attention was by a young girl who asked if i had finished my drink (I hadn’t . The young blonde girl in question didn’t look look she wanted to be there, and was quite miserable compared to the other bubbly staff. Overall ok, kids left full but still improvement to be had in cust...

"The place seems unprofessionally run. The staff all look like they could do with a bath. No overalls are worn and their clothes are all of the type that many would wear to lounge around the house in . Several have longer hair and beards but don’t wear any kitchen p.p.e. The decor is shabby and I wondered what kind of hygiene rating they would have. Although not busy, the staff seemed to be disorganised, falling over eachother and lacking in training. They seemed to handle the food in an inexperienced, clumsy fashion. The only tool I saw being used was a pizza peel for taking the pizza in and out of the oven. On all other occasions the food was handled. I didn’t notice any hand washing or alcohol gel in evidence. The menu is quite limited and uninspiring. 2 of the 6 pizza choices include chicken which Italians would argue is definite no no! All pizzas are reheated to order which eliminates the possibility of customisation. I don’t believe the restaurant would stand out in many European countries, as pizza in general is of a much higher standard than that in the UK. In spite of the above, The basic pizza is excellent in taste (even though it is all re-heated). And for this reason it is worth a visit. Compared to other uk pizza restaurants which are typically serving absolute garbage, the food is way out in front. If you can tolerate the negatives I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with the pizza. However with a bit of effort, this place could be transformed into something truly amazing."
