This place looks good from outside so I decided to try it. I was a warm Inviting place and I would have thought they would have servers to take orders. I realized after 15 minutes of waiting, I went to bar and asked how do I order food. The gentleman who help was kind, but looked at me and said it would take 45 minutes to get my food should I order something. Well I wanted to have some fish and chips before I left so I ordered.
It took 30 minutes!. I would not have gone here had I read the review first. Staff will walk by and ignore you when you try to get attention and extremely slow service and product selling is not very good after the long wait.

This was a great place to dart in and sit down for a break and a cold drink and free WiFi. I was able to google map the next place on my journey. I decided to look at the dinner menu and saw a vegan burger that I had at Devonshire Arms a couple weeks ago. I decided to stay for dinner and order it again. It was not as good. Dry and a little crisp on the edges;

I spent over 40 minutes waiting for my food. I ordered the fish and chips goujons, the chicken tikka, and a grilled chicken sandwich. The goujons were two pieces of ok tasting fish. The chicken tikka is probably the worst I've ever had, lacked flavor and was incredibly dry. The chicken sandwich was perhaps also disappointing as it was terribly over cooked, had hardly any cheese, and also had no flavor.
Seriously it tasted like they tossed a frozen piece of chicken on a pan and just let it sit there for an hour and then tossed it on a bun. I paid 30 for a meal that arguably worse than something I could've bought at McDonald's for far less. Don't come here unless you've got plenty of time and money to waste. Actually, even if you do have time and money to waste, you should probably waste them somewhere else.

With a pub on practically every corner, I liked this one for plenty of outdoor seating. Sadly, they closed outdoor seating at 1700 hrs (subtracting a star), and I moved inside with the beer that the helpful barkeep recommended, adding a star. I decided to order a wild mushroom pudding. Orders are placed at the bar: "What was my table number?" I found a table (no number), left my beer to hold it for me while returning to the bar, pointing to the table, and paying for the order, which arrived incorrectly as steak and mushroom pie. Exhausted, but happy no one grabbed my beer, I just kept it.

There are many pubs in this area. Many side-by-side and all with similar menus -- after all - it's pub food. I have been to almost all and the Greene King is far and away the worst. Both in offering of food and by it's absolutely abysmal service The portions are fair sized -- but the food is frequently cold and the fish greasy and flavorless. And certainly don't ask the staff for something extra!
I asked for a bit more Tartar sauce and it became a massive policy debate among the staff and I was ultimately told "no" -I couldn't have extra. So extremely marginal food and a lousy attitude like that leads to my unequivocal "do not go" recommendation

TOURIST TRAP! Dont go, this is a chain and it's all a sham. Go to a real pub like The Victoria, The Dove, etc. Find a cute historical pub! The food is over priced, the servers are rude, and it's over crowded. The process is confusing at first and the servers look at you like your dumb if you dont know. You find your own table, check your table number, order at the bar, and then go back to your table. (Typical pub method but confusing if you're not from around) Food: Our meals weren't even complete.
We were missing shrimp, sauces, peas, etc. The quality of the food was good but it didnt make up for the environment. Bathrooms: the restrooms were a mess! Toilet paper everywhere on the floor, some didnt properly lock, and it smelt so strong. Dissapointed :(
