In a similar fashion to its 1851 namesake, the Great Exhibition is a glorious space in which free thinking people can celebrate the wonders of life. The exhibits today may not be as weird and wonderful as those that came from the four corners of the world all those years ago, but if you like to witness great food, beer and service in a convivial atmosphere and an off the wall environment, then the Great Exhibition has all the exhibits you need.

Book an area for your event! From birthdays, Christmas gatherings, office parties to summer parties; the Great Exhibition can provide for any occasion.

    Great Sunday roast. We had Beef, Lamb and a Fish (Haddock) & Chips - all were great. Other review pics show a decent amount of gravy - and it's more than I would normally ask for/want, but didn't overpower the dish. Ambiance was great, lots of dogs, some families with kids and all-adult groups. Service was quick and the pub is really nice.

    Stunning as always, not to keen on broccoli on me roast and could be a bit warmer on the veggies, but my personal taste. But awesome none the less, and our favourite

    Great Sunday Lunch. We tried the roast beef, roast pork belly and fish and chips. The beef and fish and chips were both very good, the pork belly was tender with crispy crackling and served with plenty of vegetables and a large Yorkshire Pudding, portions are definitely generous. My only comment was perhaps there was too much gravy already on the plate, but it did not detract from the overall quality of the food. The pub is really busy and clearly very popular with local families so booking is essential. During our time there, tables were constantly being turned to accommodate more customers. Staff were friendly and informative about drinks selections and food was served promptly given who busy the pub was. Loved the buzzy atmostphere and decor, it really did this wonderful building proud. They also have a garden and outside seating in front of the pub (with a small marquee) neither of which we tried as it was very cold. A great visit, and good pub for families in the area but don’t forget to book in advance.

    What a disappointment - I can’t understand the 5 star reviews. The roast was terrible, lacking on basic seasoning (salt and pepper), gravy lacking finesse, and the lamb was the weirdest texture and didn’t taste of lamb at all! Potatoes were bland too. The only thing that was cooked okay was the pork belly. Then the dessert. A scandal. An absolute scandal. I ordered the berry crumble and it was simple inedible, ridiculously sweet, and I was given about 3 tablespoons of custard to go with it. I asked for more custard, was given another 3 tablespoon worth. The chocolate soufflé was just a flat flourless cake with half a scoop of icecream plonked on top, no air, no finesse, just a stodgy bit of chocolate. My mother in law ordered icecream and it was half a scoop in a little ramekin. Tasted cheap and ridiculously sweet. Worst of all, we were sat right by the male toilet and it’s a single toilet with a single door, so no corridor or second door separating the dining area and the toilet. Very off putting.
