    Great evening under the new management. We had a reserved area for 10 people in the bar, and then ate in the dining area. The service and food were outstanding, and it was good to see this pub nice and busy on Christmas Eve. John and his wife are doing a great job.

    Good day. We booked for three people to celebrate my 76th birthday. The Gardeners is our local pub for the last 9 years. We have seen several management changes over the years, some good and some not so good. I had to find a set of menus for our table as there were none on any of the tables. We were told that the menu was limited due to lack of deliveries. Last night we ordered two fish and chips which was good and my son ordered a double beef burger and it was filled with too much mayonnaise. The Guinness was not the best. The desert took more than 30 minutes before it was served. We paid but did not realise that a discretionary service charge had been included amounting to £13.59. We were disappointed to see such a charge in a local pub. We will not be returning as the total amounted to £122.29 which is not value for money. Best regards, Geoff Powell

    Despite having undergone a change of management in recent months and having recruited new staff including a new chef, we were pleased that, if anything, our overall experience and evening as a whole was very good. The new chef coped very ably indeed. Long may it continue.
