Had another fantastic meal at The Hen & Chickens. The mixed grill and saag paneer were my faves. One of the party had very specific medical diary requirements and the chef bent over backwards to ensure all requirements were met.

The seating could be improved - the bar stools and tight space is not conducive to good posture for eating.

Second time visit, and found the place as good as the last visit. Cannot fault the place other than parking can be a little difficult around the back but at the time we go its OK. Also the tables are a little close to each other hence a bit more space is needed for private conversation. A good measure of a good place is hot plates (nothing worse than cold food after about 5 minutes)

The food and seating areas were good, and the Indian staff serving food were really great, and the food was amazing. The pub staff were rude. We had to write down our own order on a piece of paper for staff, and then were rudely reminded many times at the end when our time was up. I felt like since they had only served drinks, and the food staff did the rest, there was no need to be rude. I think they need to hire more staff to take orders, so the pub staff do not become too overwhelmed and become too rude.
