Overall this pub was quite good the only reason I have given it 3 stars is beacuse the order. At first we ordered of the app but after waiting about 20 mins they said it didn't go through which is fine because its not their fault and then the second time we ordered we didn't get the right things we asked for but we were not fussed and then the third time we ordered they were missing one of my family members order but we got the item straight after . The staff are very welcoming and even though the order got messed up the food was very good and I recommend getting curly fries with cheese and the

Sadly, not what it used to be. Although ringing ahead to be seated in the restaurant we were told no tables available on arrival just 30mins later so we had to sit in the bar. No problem with that but it would have been nice to know. Unfortunately the menu was nowhere near as good as a few years back although perhaps there's a difference between restaurant and bar food. My burger was a little dry overall and the blue cheese topping was little more than a scraping on one of the buns. Someone needs to understand what a topping means. Sadly, pretty underwhelming hence just 3 stars. As my school reports

Popped in after a visit to Kents Cavern. Friendly staff were very welcoming. The pub is light & modern with good music. We were lucky to visit on a Thursday where there was a special on Tapas & Cocktails. My partner ordered the vegan mushrooms & gyozas with a strawberry Collins & Woo Woo Cocktails. I ordered the New York deli steak burger & my daughter the ribs (is a chefs special which should be part of the menu). The ribs came out as a mountain, they were plentiful. All food was cooked to perfection. The New York burger is similar in taste to a Salt Beef sandwich. The mushrooms with the vegan

We turned up without a table booked and managed to get a table outside and we were given an umbrella because it was drizzling. Ordering through the app was really easy and our drinks came quickly. The menu was amazing. We wanted to order everything. When our tapas arrived it looked beautiful and tasted great. Service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.
