The Bolingbroke is a really good gastro pub. The food is excellent and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. Good atmosphere, relaxing and smart but informal decor. (I would also like to add that last time I was there with a friend in a wheelchair, the staff were incredibly helpful to make his visit there as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.)

Delicious food, helpful service and lovely ambiance, especially in the conservatory restaurant. We can especially recommend the avocado and broad bean dip and the nuttela gnocchi with banana ice cream!

The dinning room at the back was beautifully decorated with huge flowers hanging from the high ceiling of the conservatory. Food delicious and service perfect.

I love the Bolingbroke. The staff are really friendly and they don’t make you feel uncomfortable when you come in with babies or children. The food is generally good but sometimes it could be better, for example, the peas in my roast dinner were the opposite of fresh and tasted bitter. The brownie was quite hard, so either over cooked or a bit burned around the edges. Other than that, I can’t fault them!

Lovely pub and atmosphere. Good meal but could be much better. More variety with food options would be great as menu stays pretty much the same and better quality food. It is still great but could be better. Service was good.

Really nice afternoon lunch at the Bolingbroke with friends. The service and food were excellent and the Christmas decorations are probably the best I've seen in a pub, so festive and cosy! The only reason I'm not scoring 6 is that prices were quite steep but otherwise a wonderful meal.

We’ve been coming every Christmas time for the past 6 years. This year the food was very average, not what we were expecting. Mushroom wellington was sliced mushrooms wrapped in pastry with gravy granules. Very underwhelmed.

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.

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!!!
