Food was lovely, but my starter came out at the same time as the main which meant that by the time I started my Sunday roast it was warm rather than hot.

Very disappointing food. I used to go to The Chancery a lot but have not been in quite awhile because of ill health. I took a friend who had never been there before and quite frankly I was embarrassed at the poor quality of the food. We had the steak and ale pie and all the elements were substandard. The meat was tough, the cauliflower was overcooked and lukewarm at most. The mashed potato was bland. And there was not really enough gravy. I was really upset but did not want to make a fuss. I will not be going there again any time soon.

Typical pub grub, really good but could do with a slightly larger range! Desserts could do with fresh fruit option. I really enjoy the pub and the staff are always so happy and helpful!
