Bowling Green

It was very quiet on Wed eve at half term. We thought would be busier but there were more people sat in the conservatory area which looks out on to the back garden with table benches and a little playground.
The staff were all really lovely,friendly and helpful & service was quick. The table waitress was attentive & the bar staff really chatty & friendly.
The food can be a bit more expensive than a spoons for example but it is really good & plenty of it. I had the jackfruit wings they were great & tried some cheese pie & a bit of chilli- all really tasty.
Had a strongbow which is £5.20 per pint I think & sat outside later with a tub of icecream got 3 scoops & the banana split one was 🙌 wow. There seating outside to the front then round the side more family orientated near the enclosed playground with a little climbing frame etc for children.
It was very clean, nice atmosphere & the music was entertaining cos it would alternate between a song from around the 50s, or even late 40s that I knew from my grandma/parents singing it to modern day songs which completely messed with my head but in a good way lol.
Really enjoyed it & the kids go often & I'll definitely be going back.

Must admit we were there for a wake. Food was fine only a buffet drinks a little bit pricey but seemed very clean and tidy.

We got there at 7.15 and got food served at 8.55pm , we did get a starter sharer but unfortunately the chicken was raw and from eating that we were unsure of eating the main courses. From it taking so long we were tired and just wanted to go home and just went home not eating all our main.

But that wasn’t the floor and bar staff fault they were amazing ! They apologised and were lovely and it’s a nice place for a drink but maybe not for food.

Family of 4 meal. Starters were good but the mains were really bad. Chicken, burger and gammon absolutely solid. Came in tonight as heard was under new management and new kitchen staff but was worse than before. Definitely be the last time we go here for food.

I visited for a meal with a relative recently. Mixed grill was excellent. Steak cooked perfectly rare. Could be less expensive but that's the world today. Really enjoyed the meal and would certainly recommend it.

Booked for my granddaughter 6 th birthday. Choice of food on children's menu so good and really well priced. Took own birthday cake which staff happily brought out with candles lit when required. They even sang happy birthday with us. All of the staff are so friendly and helpful. The play area is really good. I highly recommend this venue and will definitely be going often. Best venue I have ever been to 🙂

Visited on a weekday evening. Venue was very quiet - by the end of our meal we were the only ones in!
The staff were generally friendly and helpful. The food was good and matched the quality you'd expect from a Joseph Holt pub.

A really nice pub with helpful, friendly staff.
Unfortunately the carvery was not great. Roast potatoes were too hard and the carrots and sprouts not very nice.
To be fair we will return and try the main menu, which does look interesting
