"I went to this restaurant with my family on a Thursday evening and, despite the friendly staff and quick service, we were disappointed. It happened to be steak night, so two of us ordered fillet steak with peppercorn sauce. The sauce was good, but the steaks were burnt on the outside and still raw inside, even though we had asked for them to be well done. The restaurant had run out of buns, but instead of offering a substitution like a side salad, they simply offered more chips. It would be helpful if the staff could inform customers of shortages or offer alternatives. The children's burger was also missing a bun, so sweetcorn was used as a substitute. The children's sausages were overcooked and had a tough skin that needed to be peeled off before eating. The adults declined dessert, but the kids chose ice cream and a chocolate brownie. The ice cream was actually frozen yogurt, which looked good but was watery and went uneaten. The chocolate brownie, on the other hand, was enjoyed. Service was quick, but no one checked in to see if everything was okay after the food was served. Overall, due to the poorly cooked steak, lack of buns, tough sausages, and disappointing dessert, I cannot recommend this restaurant. My husband may want to give it another try, but I won't be returning anytime soon."

Excellent food and the service was exceptional. The menu is large and varied. The restaurant is very comfortable. We have been 3 times in the last 2 weeks and were extremely satisfied each time. Highly recommended.

This pub is a hidden gem! I came here for food and drinks with friends. Our waitress Lucy was very attentive and prompt, bringing our drinks out very quickly. The pub was busy and lively with lovely staff. Would definitely recommend to a friend and I will be visiting again.

Memories of an excellent dinner with family . Superb plates with incredible flavors. The burgers and katsu curry was exceptional and deserves just to dream of . A beautiful establishment where you immediately feel at home. The service was impeccable. I’m giving it 10 out of 10 ! Try it for a nice meal. View menu

Had an amazing afternoon lunch with my boyfriend we order to 3 courses which were very delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive and did make check backs on us to make sure we were happy with our Meals. Also loved that I could get a whole bottle of processo for under 20 pounds . We be back very soon .

Improvement needed as service not very good at all and this based on several visits in past month.No welcome, chat nor a goodbye and no sense of anyone being in charge of the showUsed the app x 2 but drinks never arrived.Has great potential and I know these tough times.I will try the Landford Poacher when next time in area.Hope The Rover can improve.

Came in for lunch on Thursday, we were sat down quickly and didn’t have to wait what so ever. A lovely young man called Alex took our drinks and food order, he was very professional and even helped my daughter with a bit colouring. The food came out and was amazing, couldn’t fault it one bit. Great service, friendly staff and great menu options. Will definitely be coming back! View menu

Rude boy working there and the man with a beard. The kids meal came with a dessert and because i didnt say at the time or ordering what my child wanted! they wouldnt give it to me and we paid £1.50 for our other child to have kids dessert too and they said we had to order at the time even though the man took the 2 dessert orders at the till. 1 dessert was seved to only 1 of our kids! They wanted to argue over a £1.50 dessert. 6 of us ate here. We paid for a dessert we havent got! Argumentative boy on the till and wont return. Such a shame as we also had our christmas party here last year……

We visited the Red Rover midweek as a larger party of nine. They were apprehensive to seat us as they only have a limited kitchen and waiting staff. When we arrived, despite the pub being virtually empty and a reserved sign on the table, there was a man sitting at our table on his laptop. He was quickly moved by the staff and the table cleaned for us. The food was delivered quite quickly and they catered well for the gluten free member of out party. They did have a couple of menu items out of stock which meant a couple of our party had to make quick changes to their orders which meant their food came out 5-8 minutes later than everyone elses. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food...
