"I hadn’t been to the poachers for years and it has changed a lot. Outside bar looked nice but didn’t use as was raining Inside lots of staff who were super helpful and friendly. Menu has lots of Indian items on it and those were fantastic. Good range of drinks. Food turned up reallly fast, lots of it and very hot. Chicken biryani was fab, pretty spiced and lots of rice. Butter chicken was really amazing, sauce was great very thick and creamy and had a super flavour. Meal was £60 for 2 people, including several drinks, starter and main course with rice each, and then a coffee. Seemed very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. Would definitely go again."

Not prepared to be flexible on their menu can’t understand why they don’t can’t adapt. Felt like we have to fit them rather than they want to please their customers View menu

We had a delicious family meal. The curries were really tasty and my son enjoyed his burger. We were well looked after by the staff who couldn’t do enough for us. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Since this place has been taken over in 2023 the food, service and general atmosphere are completely different, and massively improved. This is now a lovely relaxing pub to eat delicious food. What a transformation!

A lovely Sunday lunch outdoors of butter chicken with a chilli garlic naan suggested by the waitress as the naans weren't listed on the menu. The chicken was very tender and the sauce was tangy, perfectly complemented by the light, bubbly naan which was cooked to perfection. The service was delightful and friendly throughout.

We had meal there last night food is good and good value. We ordered starters and mains but it all came together so was a rush to eat before going cold. Tried to explain to guys bringing food but a communication problem as don’t seem to speak English and grin at you. Also tried twice to get a bill in end had to go to bar to pay. There appeared to be another large table that were meals missing so it’s seems to be staff training that letting them down. Would go again but would not be desperate to do so

"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."
