Excellent food, I recommend the Avalon for a Sunday roast to everyone I know. Really nice staff however could have done with one or two more waiters on the floor I think.

Really disappointing afternoon here - we waited 30 minutes to have our order taken and then 45 minutes after that we received or starters.....some calamari and some raw chicken skewers! We of course sent it back decided not to stay to eat our mains. The bill was waived but I would still be reluctant to return.

Staff is friendly, food is decent. They were out of the wagyu brisket which we really wanted to try. I got a burger which was above average. Not really a place to catch up with friends for a quiet dinner. We were there at 5 on a Saturday and it was pretty loud and hard to hear our dining companions, lots of stag do's and 20-something birthday parties.

Staff were too busy that they did not attend to us in the restaurant area. We had to go to the bar in order to order drinks. The food was nice but it took ages to come. We even tried to stay for a drink after and were ignored at the bar by all staff so we decided to take our money else where. Not impressed!

Huge roast with delicious gravy and massive Yorkshire puddings. The starters were ok but not great. Service was good, a bit slow but it was a busy Sunday.

This is a great pub with the best pub quiz on Monday nights. There is also a huge back garden for summer days. Pizzas are good too.

Booked 2 weeks ago and got a table with about a 30% view of the small tv...not a place to watch sport. Bit of a disappointment.

Good food, in particular the pizza was very good. Two minor points they could work on: the croquettes on the small plates menu were not available, but other croquettes were (for the same price as other small plates) on the daily specials. However, our waitress insisted that they could not be pat of the three for GBP 15 offer on small plates. Economically pointless and inflexible. Secondky, we had to wait a very long time for our mains. Apparently we had been forgotten amd had been too polite to chase them.

It is a very tasty roast dinner. Beef was good in taste, although it was a little thin. The Yorkshire pudding was excellent and the gravy tasty.

Group of 4, rushed off our table by a very rude member of staff, despite there being many other tables available. His attitude and tone was shocking. Very disappointing Easter lunch.

We waited 20 minutes to get the waiter's attention to order and eventually had to go up to the counter to get his attention. My Sunday roast had no potatoes. What?! And my nut roast was too soft and lukewarm at best. The waiter took the service charge off the bill, at least.

The meal was fine. Thai corn starter was very nice, the main (steak) was OK. We did not stay for desert as it was too busy and noisy in the restaurant. Service was a little slow, there did not appear to be many staff on duty.

The Beef and green vege were really tasty. I always find your Bloody Marys inconsistent and varying in taste. Staff were generally attentive and friendly.

Went for Sunday lunch. Lots of variety on the menu, we were all very pleased with our choices. Attentive service. My only issue is the design of the restaurant area means it is incredibly noisy. I think it is something to do with the ceiling.

Roast was great, maybe a little too much rosemary used in my opinion but still very yummy. Service was a little frantic to start, had to wait 10mins to be shown to our table but again understand that it’s Sunday and it’s busy.
