    The food quality was excellent, the attentiveness from the staff was good, but we struggled to understand and hear the waitress as she described the food. Wasn't helped by one very loud man that never shut up or let anyone else get a word in edgeways! Not the fault of the restaurant, but it impacted our experience. We would definitely recommend and also go back.

We're sorry to hear you had a little trouble understanding our server's descriptions of the dishes.

    Attentive staff but not overly so, with a lovely manner and great service. The food presentation was lovely and tasted wonderful. Time between courses, just right. One tiny negative, we chose to eat on the ground floor and were seated at a table just as you enter the restaurant area. The top two tables, although screened off, are positioned by the serving hatch on one side and desk area on the other. Obviously more hustle and bustle in these areas. Those tables maybe more suited to groups rather than couples. This did not detract too much on the ambience and experience and we will definitely be back.
    The Globe InnResponded on 4 February 2025
    Dear Adele, Thank you for your thoughtful review of The Globe Inn. We're pleased that you enjoyed your meal and the service, and we appreciate your feedback regarding the ambiance. We understand that the tables near the serving hatch and desk area can be a bit more bustling, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We'll take your comments into consideration as we continue to refine our seating arrangements. We hope you'll visit us again soon, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable dining experience.
