   Mostly a good experience but let down by poor communication between the bar and kitchen. Quite a lot of what we ordered was forgotten. Also…. Very noisy… too noisy.

   Great pub, new chef that has really taken to elevating your experience of breakfast and meals. Lovely staff, great atmosphere and overall a great place to chill and enjoy. Pop in and enjoy, you won't regret it.

   Conventional Sunday roast, but not desperately flavoursome, with slightly underdone vegetables.

   Cynthia, we are so sorry to read this. I have passed the message on to Chef. Food is of course subjective and we do generally receive positive comments on our flavours. I do hope you told your server as we should've made this right for you. We pride ourselves on using fresh ingredients every week; chosen and prepared with our customers satisfaction in mind. As an independent food business we don't like to read of customer dissatisfaction. Your scores of 2 all round show that we failed on service and ambience also, despite us having a much loved local singer in the pub too. I hope you give us another try!

   Great Sunday roast with freshly prepared food. New owners are making this pub into a new favourite for us. There was also a really good live singer at just the right volume as background music and gave the place a lovely atmosphere. Good to see The Wattenden thriving and busy.

   We had a delicious family Sunday lunch. The staff were lovely and friendly, and the food was fantastic. The live guitarist/vocalist was also really good.

   As usual, fantastic food served by Lauren and Thierry with aplomb in our favourite venue! Nothing's too much trouble and all requests taken without question and acted on.

   Lovley Gastro pub, with amazing food and excellant service. There was a live singer and musican on the day which was a wonderful surprise. I would reccommend. I look forward to my next visit.

    My beef was just as I like I, quite rare and succulent. Jug of additional gravy appreciated. Pity they forgot to give me any roast potatoes but was soon rectified. My only complaint was that our table was right opposite a door which people were using to go outside and therefore it was bitterly cold when this happened. Our waitress was very efficient and helpful.
