The Colonel Fawcett

Update:So having visited and given the honest review below. I took up the invite to return and it was exceptional! The food was exactly as I had hoped. The pumpkin and Parmesan veloute was so full of flavour and the perfect thickness, the roasts we had were cooked to perfection; succulent chicken, pork belly that was so tender it fell apart and the crackling was spot on. The range of vegetables was excellent and the gravy was so tasty. The sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie finished off the perfect Sunday roast. Thank you Ross. It was a brilliant experience and the service was fantastic. We’ll be back. Initial review: Booked a Sunday roast with family. Really disappointing. 3 potatoes, gravy, mashed butternut squash, cold Yorkshire pudding and a small piece of beef. Same for the vegan meal with a slice of vegan wellington. That’s it. Really hoped for better. Ordered a sausage roll snack and some bread as we were informed there would be a delay. We were served 2 pieces of sliced bread with butter and an inch of cold sausage roll. The staff were friendly and welcoming but the food was awful. Didn’t ask if any of us had food allergies. We won’t visit again.Gave it 3 stars for the staff.

Came here on a Friday for their Friday quiz. Great pub quiz and karaoke! 5/5 for that. Shoutout to Ben for being an incredible quiz host! Experience massively brought down by the food. Ordered a pie and the middle was freezing cold. Cold to touch as well! Was only allowed to swap the price of the pie for drinks, nothing on the house. Its not just disgusting but also a health risk and I did not expect this from this pub. Do not buy food here, clear to see that everything is frozen and reheated (badly).

Don’t eat here. A huge disappointment. We had booked a table for 2:30 on a Sunday and when we arrived we were informed they had run out of Guinness, many lagers and Yorkshire puddings(our first red flag). We ordered sourdough and olives as a starter and the “bread” that arrived was soggy (clearly defrosted & not sourdough) and we had 8 olives to share between 4. The roast took 55 minutes to arrive after ordering, and for £23 each(!!!) it came with 1 slice of beef, 6 carrots and 2 potatoes(as the picture shows). We ordered “seasonal greens” which were microwaved mush for £5 (pictured) Unfortunately the food was cold, not worth the money and it took far too long to arrive. The pub itself is lovely and the staff were fantastic and could only do so much. Don’t eat here
