Lovely local place I’ll always go back to. Food is delicious, drinks are great and the staff are absolutely lovely. Cozy place to spend the afternoon or have lunch/dinner by the fireplace.

They really know how to look after you at the Bolingbroke! The staff are very attentive, and the food is great. Fantastic Christmas lunch!! One of my favourite pubs in the area

Last night - the worst food I have eaten by a long shot. Flabby, tasteless fish. I had to put salt on and I never do usually do that. Broccoli and padron peppers both underdone, even after a second attempt. Calamari not good. Pasta looked dry. A shame because this place is normally OK - it's never excellent food but it's easy enough with a good selection for different tastes. Being busy is not an excuse - I could have done a better job and I hate cooking!

We were looking forward to a leisurely meal but our food arrived very quickly. The roast was nice, but not amazing. We were offered dessert immediately afterwards and it all felt a bit rushed. The staff were very friendly and it was the usual great atmosphere in the pub.

Service was dreadful. I know it was Saturday but we kept getting left for ages, nobody checking if we wanted anything else etc. Food was also pretty dire, we had steaks that were totally tasteless, no seasoning, chips were bland, I only ate one of mine. Wasnt cheap either. Do not think I will be returning sadly. The 2 star rating was because we had a good table and that starter was ok.

My husband's choice on the menu was not available (sirloin steak), which was very disappointing considering we were eating at 20:30. This is not late.

We had a lovely lunch at the Bolingbroke pub. The halloumi salad was delicious and very fresh. We shared the banofee pie and brownie for dessert both of which were yummy. They gave us plenty of space for our babies any high chairs. Overall a great experience.

Shocking, tasteless food, Luke warm , I had the herb crusted fish and I have to say it’s the worst dish I have tasted in along time , I’m sad to say I would not recommend you and I will never return.

Excellent food, great atmosphere. It’s lovely to have such a great, pet-friendly place just around the corner. Can get very noisy in the evening, but it all adds to the fun!

Food was good, service was quick, relaxed ambiance. Unsurprisingly, given the location, caters well for families with kids. The day specials were very interesting. The menu includes vegan options.

Favourite place to go for a gorgeous meal with great wine list, beautiful ambiance and very attentive helpful staff. We got 3 plates to start - the croquettes were mouth watering!! I had the pheasant for a main, highly recommend.

Great atmosphere, lots of local faces. Friendly and knowledgable staff and the wagu burger was tasty. Cosiest in the front room (but easier to hear in the back dining area)

Lovely Sunday lunch - service was quick and friendly. Quite strict on the max 2 hour sitting, so be aware of that. But otherwise can’t fault the experience - we had a lovely time.

Food was amazing but the service needs improving. We went mid afternoon so it wasn’t very busy and the staff were just not on it.

Lunch with friends at The Bolingbroke using a 50% off food voucher. Limited menu with simple dishes but the food was first class; delicious and well presented. The relaxed, friendly service was a bit slow but this suited our occasion fine. The individual chicken and mushroom pie from the specials board served with fresh vegetables (or chips if you must!) was excellent and the burgers juicy and perfectly cooked. At the price we paid (approx £17 each for two courses and an alcoholic drink including 12.5% added service) extremely good value for money.

Lovely food and wonderful service. The lunch menu was slightly limited but suitable enough and the catering for children was second to none. The pub itself was light and airy and a really pleasant place to eat. The 60% off food voucher helped obviously!!!

Great food. Only let down was the eton mess - which was 95% cream, 5% meringue. They were very patient with us as we had a lot of children there which was very helpful. Service was good albeit a little slow (that suited us though). The Bar Manager was not overly friendly though.

The food was lovely as always, and the service friendly and efficient. I only wish we hadn't been sat on the small table under a low, sloping ceiling as we were boiling

Great food and service. We went for the traditional roast and it didn’t disappoint, I asked for an extra Yorkshire pudding and there was no grumble and extra gravy no issue.

The table we had in the front room was just way too noisy - we were only 6 people but we really couldn't hear each other and it spoilt the atmosphere. Perhaps a glass dividing wall between the bar and the restaurant would help this.

I had a good lunch there with a colleague. The red wine the waiter chose for us was superb and the food quite delicious. I cannot give The Bolingbroke the full 6 points as the music playing for the first half hour or so was loud techno dance music totally inappropriate for lunchtime. At our and another customer's request the music was first turned off completely and then later resumed very quietly with relaxing music.

OK food, OK service, but nice location. Nice looking pub, Starter was a bit bland but the wagyu burger was divine. Menu could have a few more choices though
