Great food as always! Recommend the fish mixed grill. Would like a hotter curry than a madras on the menu, can't fault anything. Make sure you book early

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.

A group of 6 of us went for our team lunch. We liked Hen and Chickens and would definitely go back again. To put it briefly, there was quick service, nice staff and a good atmosphere.

Buzzing atmosphere on a Saturday night service was excellent, food was really fresh tasting. The sides were perfect . We didn’t manage to finish only because the portions are so generous

This place was joint effort creation by the Gods of Indian Food and Dining as a gift for us mere mortals to enjoy. The Chef who cooked the Large Sizzling Grill deserves a knighthood. #Bangin

This is a wonderful pub serving the best curries. We didn't have the famous mixed grill last night but the sight and smells of it are enough to tempt me back. Our food was excellent, particularly Chicken Bhuna and Lamb Saag. Beer choice is great and the service is friendly and efficient. Very busy pub, so book ahead.

Lovely Indian food, carefully cooked. This was my third visit here. The grilled meats are delicious, and the curries are very tasty too. The saag paneer today was outstanding. The fish pakora and fish curry are also very good. Delicious cocktails today. There is a good range of gin and wine too, as well as a selection of beer and cider. The service was very attentive too. This is a lovely old pub that has been beautifully restored. It is cosy and welcoming, with great food and drink.

The food was good but it’s a shame the overall experience was let down by the poor service and extremely rude staff who turned out to be the owners!

Lovely freshly prepared food, the portions at the Hen & Chickens are always very substantial. The room at the back is probably the best place in the pub to eat, it's away from the very busy bar area and has a very cosy feel to it.

Nice staff and food was generally good. One of my samosas was still partly frozen in the middle when I bit into it which meant they were probably not hand madd which was disappointing. Best to eat in lounge at back as gets too noisy with 3 tv screens in bar. Price was more than if we’d gone to Ladypool Road but we will definitely come back.
