The Goose - Pub & Grill

Absolutely disgusting ordered a seafood mixed grill and this is what i got. £17 i couldnt even look at it sent it straight back. Also a childrens burger came with the bun and lettuce but no burger.
Wil no be returning Terrible food.

Travelled 26 mile to eat here for my sons birthday, pub itself seemed nice enough, but not many people inside having meals, we had a whole room area to ourselves.
Ordered what my son asked for as starters I had sautéed mushrooms, they had cheesy garlic ciabatta.
Was a bit miffed when the mains came out, and then the starters after the mains had been set down.
I'd read reviews before coming and my hubby decided not to come as we've had bad experiences with sub standard meals at other greene King pubs.
Well my mushrooms didnt look like they had seen any kind of sautée, more like they had been boiled in water, and they were only luke warm as if they had been sat around for a while.
I made the mistake of ordering rump steak, my last experience at a greene King pub was that it was so gristly you couldn't even cut it with a knife. This was slightly better, managed to cut most of it, but it was so chewy I thought I was going to need dental treatment, I have a feeling all these greene king pubs must buy cheaper end meat or things are already pre cooked and just heated up. The chips were edible but looked anaemic, I had eggs with the steak which had been overcooked, and it came with the same mushrooms Id ordered for my starter but never came as one,again most of them were just barely warm
I've been to plenty of vintage inn chains and perfectly cooked food and prices aren't any dearer. This food is more geared to the masses 2 for £10, definitely not the prices that are being charged
My sons girlfriend said the lemon she had on her fish was frozen and struggled to squeeze it.
Overall would I return, no, i'd save the money on fuel and go somewhere I know would serve a nice meal where you can clear your plate with no issues

Very surprised for a chain pub. The food was superb ( I am rather fussy about) service was relatively swift. Great food for sensible prices.
Well done all round team.

We went with family for Sunday lunch. Unfortunately the Goose was not up to the usual standards of other Green King establishments we have been to. The beef was advertise as 'pink' but was actually RAW! I ordered the mushroom Wellington which arrived minus the vegetables! The staff are attentive and brought out the vegetables when mentioned to them but nothing can ge done with RAW meat 🤮 We ordered desserts although nice they arrived with wrong accompliments.

Lovely dinner here tonite, staffing levels excellent, no one waited more than a few seconds before being acknowledged and served etc, makes all the difference. Not from around here, up from Essex actually, but would defo return, busy this evening but all the staff were very good

Now I have to be fair in my review of The goose as I didn’t eat here, we took the children to the play centre and had drinks.

No issues with the drinks but the staff were miserable and rude to the point where I even told one of them that I think they need to look for another line of work.

Upon entering there was no staff to be seen behind the bar, after waiting a few minutes a male staff member appeared I asked politely if someone could serve us drinks at the play centre counter as my children were already in there playing, I got a tut, a mumbled moan before he disappeared again for five minutes, eventually a lady came out and kindly helped us.

It’s such a shame when certain staff members let the whole place down and leave customers feeling like they are a hindrance.

On a plus note the coffee was nice and the kids loved the play centre.

Last minute change of plan bought us here. Had a decent steak here. Pleasantly surprised. And staff were very friendly.

Food delicious, Kim and team really looked after us, even the kids are asking when can we next come
