We came to town to visit Alton Towers so don’t know the area well. We where recommended to visit The Tavern and we weren’t disappointed at all. The staff where so friendly and professional. The atmosphere wasn’t great and the food was amazing. Cooked to perfection. If we where ever in the area again we would definitely visit again.

Enjoyed our meal, service was very good. We were a little squashed into a corner by the door when other tables were free and stayed free. I had some equipment behind me and my chair so had to squeeze in, plus a picture on the wall that I kept catching with my shoulder. Just a bit more room would have made this more comfortable.

One guy doing everything. Empty bottles and plate on our table the whole evening. Chips prawns fish all dripping in grease and over cooked. Really bad. Nobody bothered asking how our food was.

Unfortunate that it was cash only, due to phone problems. But starter and main courses were delicious. Worth the inconvenience of cash only will go back definitely.

We waited an hour and 10 minutes for our food We were told it was because they had a lot of takeaway orders that had clearly been prioritised then when we complained they told us we had ordered half an hour after we actually did !

A lovely friendly restaurant where the staff are efficient and the food is outstanding. Good choice on the menu too. Have also tried the Sunday carvery and this is also very good home cooked food with decent sized portion of meat!

Booked in for 1.30, finally sat at the table at 2.15 not good. There were people who came after us and sat down first again not good and very annoying. I think they need to look at their system as I don’t believe it works very well and can be very annoying if you’re waiting too long. The beef was quite good but the vegetables were very average.the roast and mash tasted a bit old. The parsnips were very oily and not crisp and as tipically the Yorkshire puddings were soggy, no one who do carvers can doo good Yorkshires. The cabbage, carrots and gravy were nice as was the cheesecake. Generally the food was tipi all carvery nothing special, would probably not try again.

Excellent carvery. Very helpful and polite bar staff. Highly recommended. We will be visiting again without a doubt, could be every Sunday having eaten most of the carveries in the area over the past few months this being the best.
