The food is fantastic! However, booking 2 months ago I didn’t expect to be put on the smallest table for 3 people. The waitress who served our food couldn’t fit the food on then expected us to magically put it some where..... was a shame as I have raved about it to my friend.

We had such a fantastic time and the food was divine! The staff are lovely friendly people and so efficient! Will be visiting again very soon. There was a very loud party who were having a wonderful screechy time it was clear the staff were worried about other customers which was really nice to see.

Great food but found out we had been put at a table in the bar at 1800. I can’t see a way of requesting a specific room on Quandoo but apparently I was told I should have stipulated a preference. It was cold by the main door so the 2 ladies in our group had to keep their coats on to eat

If you book specify not to be plonked next to the front door - nightmare and squeezed in like a sardine. Don't expect a cheap curry either... pricey for the grub and the service.

Still the best curry I have ever tasted! I came here around 3 years ago before the refurb and was extremely impressed with the food. I've come back and please to say I'm not disappointed. The food was lovely and we were in the new eating area. The mixed grill was fantastic - an explosion of flavours and we enjoyed our curries. The manager came over and commented that the Keema naan was a little overcooked and offered a replacement. We were fine with it but he insisted it was removed from the bill which was unexpected. Overall great beer and fantastic food - highly recommended to all :-)

Wasn’t aware that children weren’t allowed after 6pm! Also ordered a large platter for 8 as a starter and it came out with the main meals and when this was said no offer to bring back mains was made! Food though was very good

Food was fantastic, hot and fresh... staff were very accommodating and friendly... the place is cosy but well lit, i litrally only have one thing to moan about, the stools we had to sit on..very low and uncomfortable, my back was in tatters after, but the food made it worth it..

Good food. We had the mixed grill and a selection of curries. Probably on the slightly expensive side of fairly priced. Great venue inside. Great for sport, particularly the room out the back. A blokes dream pub.

Incredible place. Second time i’ve been now. Food is excellent, and pretty reasonably priced. Starter portions are really quite big. Having great beers on draught too makes it perfect too. Not having table service actually better too in my option. Will be going again soon...

Fantastic food. Great welcome. Perfect evening!!! The cooking is if anything improving. There should be a Hen & Chickens fan club!! Word has already spread to Bristol and to Exeter.
