"Our first visit was a Sunday, just a week after their opening. We enjoyed a fantastic roast meal. We decided to sit in the adult-only area since it can get quite loud with children around. When we arrived at 11:30 AM, the place was just beginning to fill up; however, within about 15 minutes, it was bustling. We ordered a large Sunday roast with beef and a burger, and our meals arrived quickly, accompanied by warm smiles. My plate was enormous, piled high with tender roast beef, a crispy Yorkshire pudding, delicious roasted potatoes, and a selection of vegetables (cauliflower, carrots, and green beans). Everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and utterly satisfying. My companion devoured a massive burger with great enthusiasm, and our total bill with two drinks came to just over £20. On our second visit, also on a Sunday, we wanted to treat our guests. I ordered the Bombay Bad Boy burger, topped with lamb and mint bhaji, while my friend opted for a mild burger (I chose the wild option!). Once again, our meals came out with minimal wait time, were well cooked, and bursting with flavor. The total for four people was under £40. Our third visit was on a Friday night, where we reserved a table for six. Unfortunately, the only available seating was in the children's area, which was quite chaotic! The restaurant was extremely busy, and navigating around the little ones was a challenge. Our food took about an hour to arrive; we received an apology along the way, and I ended up with a sirloin instead of the rump steak I had ordered. Nevertheless, the steak was delicious. We shared a mixed grill, which included a massive chicken skewer with cola chipotle sauce, a fabulous cheesecake (a must-try), and the beloved mink burger, along with the steaks, which were well-cooked and juicy. Overall, The Hornet is a great spot if you’re looking for unpretentious, tasty food at incredibly reasonable prices, all served in a friendly and casual atmosphere. What are our plans for this weekend?"

Fantastic service and meal all round. Food was hot and decent portions. All staff were very professional and polite. Only downside was Teddy bear grab machines were not working and service at bar was slow at times but it was busy so under the circumstances understandable. Definitely visit again and recommend to anyone.

Nice comfy, spacious place Ordered the vegan pie , unfortunately due to a problem with stock this was off the menu along with a few of the other vegan/veggie meal's. The tikka tower meal I got... although much larger and a few pounds more...was delicious and I will definitely return and order again. Only two members of staff working so it was a long wait in the queue to place our order. The service given by both staff members was faultless though. The group I went with ordered burgers and said they were lovely. We will all go back. Huge parking space ,easy to get to , with lot's to do in close walking distance. Great value for money, decent pub grub I would recommend.

I was there on sunday (fathers day) and I must say it was spectacular the staff obviously seemed a bit rushed as they would on such a day I was expecting it to be busy but the whole visit was great I was greeted at the door by whom I can only presume was the manager and guided to my table the server I didn't catch the name but fairly tall brunette with glasses my wife is allergic to certain proteins and she was very helpful as she is limited on what she can eat. The barman I think his name was Lewis Was amazing nothing wasted much for him and he seemed very genuine whereas other places I go it seems forced interaction But I would like to say I highly recommend keep up the good work and see y...

I've been there twice in the last two weeks, and both times the food was fantastic. On my first visit, I tried a large burger that was really impressive—not quite "almost famous" beautiful, but still very appealing. It came with two patties, cheese, bacon, and onion rings, accompanied by small pots of burger sauce and BBQ sauce. I must admit, it was a challenge to finish everything! During my second visit, I opted for the Sunday roast, choosing beef, which was also huge and delicious. Yesterday, I had another burger, this time the Bombay Bad Boy burger (should it be called the Mumbai?), made from lamb and mint, topped with a bhaji and drizzled in hot sauce. It wasn’t as spicy as I would h...
