"Not usually one for writing reviews but this place is too good not to write one. We visited with friends on a Saturday afternoon. After a spout of bad meals in other restaurants we were nervous to try somewhere new, however The Poachers blew us away. From lovely (reasonably priced! wine, to the most amazing authentic Indian food any of us had ever tasted, this place was fabulous! It will certainly be our go-to and new local to visit. Thank you so much to all the staff and for the amazing cocktail tree (with sparklers! at the end of our meal. We will be back!"

Walked out after 90 minutes and no food, dreadful lack of service and care. Surrounding tables had also been waiting 2+ hours on main meals. Disgrace.

Absolutely dreadful! If k could give 0 stars I would! Terrible service. Rude staff. Awful food. The menu on the website is not what’s available in the restaurant. Shocking toilet facilities. Do not recommend. Will never ever come back. AVOID View menu

Recently visited this place and the experience was amazing. The service was commendable especially aster who went out of the way to give us an amazing night. The food was good too. the Eton mess dessert was the star of the night. Definitely recommended if you want to have a memorable night.

I had a delightful time returning for another butter chicken with chilli and garlic naan. Nothing is too much trouble for these lovely people from bringing you a menu as soon as you sit down, quickly serving the food, immediately clearing the plates to bringing replacement pints from the bar. Really looking forward to seeing you again in 2024 with a group booking next time.

"Posting on behalf of PeterfromSandhurst, who was limited to only review per month. As I was of the people on this visit, I agree with everything that has been said and whole heartedly recommend the Lord Raglan for family visits. On to...the actual review. visit, this time with six people comprising three generations aged (that day) to almost We agreed that we would just keep ordering one or two plates every minute or so and share them so we could all eat the entire menu, a bit at a time. Over hours and plates of food later the results were in, we had eaten the menu! The clear favourite by show of hands (from the little ones and the ladies) was the sticky toffee pudding (no surprises there). Choosing favourites after that was very hard indeed as they were all good. The haddock was excellent with a close dense batter that was both light but substantial (don’t ask me how) and closely hugged the good sized piece of fish. It held heat well, tasted good (both batter and fish) and remained crisp until the last bite despite not rushing to eat it. The chicken (breast pieces in the sharing platter and the smoky spicy thighs dish) were also great. Moist, very tasty but the thighs a tad spicy/smoky for the children (the smoky hit is pretty instant for a kid) but the adults all loved them, the crunchy crusted breast fillets were loved by all. The ribs were moist, delicious, plentiful and fell apart simply by looking at them. The meat board (usually a shared starter) scored highly again with the juicy pork leek sausages beautifully finished with scorched crispy skin just like the very best BBQs can manage but still wonderfully moist inside. Pulled brisket very juicy, still not sure what they use instead of butter but it works perfectly. The Korean chicken burger with kimchi was a hit with my wife (she hadn’t had kimchi before) leaving a nice afterglow without any blast of heat. She just read this and said “The sausages were delicious, I really liked those, next time I go, I am going to have sausage and mash”. Well that’s her bit done. Oh, and by the way, it was steak day (every Thursday it seems), and the steaks come as a package with chips, a sauce choice and a drink (soft or wine etc) at discounted prices, so we had a few of those too. Ordered medium rib eyes, held our breath, and low and behold medium rib eyes arrived (well done chef! And eat your heart out Miller and Carter). So if you are sick to death of places that can’t cook a steak properly, try here. I hadn’t eaten Mac and cheese for years but tried that too and found the cheese was great, had a real intense depth of flavour and lovely grilled crusty edges (that you pick out of your teeth for the next minutes mmmm). If you have the time to spend a few hours mid week with people you love in a quirky but relaxed atmosphere you could do worse than try this tasting menu approach to culinary socialising. The Staff could not have been more accommodating, despite the unconventional nature of our visit. Thank you Beth and Leah, you did an excellent job. I made a couple of remarks on my first visit about how I might improve things if I was permitted to stick my oar in and again. Bang, they had been implemented just two days later. Amazing stuff Lily (boss), you are a star. Any kitchen that consistently turns out dish after dish like this one does, has something going right. See you again soon."
