| I always find it useful when a glowing review is posted, to look at the date the reviewer joined BITE and how many reviews they've made. Just saying. davvac - 1 Sep 2012 10:08 |
| I have to say that I have been visiting this place for a few years now, and despite it being very busy during peak summer months, I have never been disappointed. The food is freshly cooked and portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable in comparison to similar pubs/restaurants in the area. The steaks are renowned in my group of friends to be amazing, and the desserts (if we have room) are always delicious. The riverside is a perfect location for spending a summer afternoon or evening, and all staff try their hardest to make your stay enjoyable and as easy as possible. Book at peak times to avoid disappointment, and (unlike other reviewers on here, seemingly) have a bit of compassion for when it is incredibly busy. I'd like to see any of you run such a busy pub! hannahk - 16 May 2012 14:51 |
| It looked delightful but unfortunately: The waitress was so busy chatting to her mates she got my order wrong The garlic bread was drenched in oil and not at all crispy The chips were not cooked in hot enough fat The fishcakes were extremely spicey- no warning of this on the menu and then the manageress shouted at me that I should have asked! Oh, yes and they were deep-fried! Good grief. Over-priced by at least �3 per dish. POoor, poor poor. Would never ever go back there. Should have eaten at Mac Donalds! flau - 13 Jun 2011 16:20 |
| Terrible meal at this pub on Sunday 12th June 2011. Sent back the fish as it was swimming in butter and covered in salt to such an extent that you couldn't taste the Sole. Although I was offered another option, I think this was maybe worse - overcooked soggy Plaice, the bone was impossible to remove and the whole dish collapsed - prawns had been boiled and this was tastless and the vegetables a disgrace as they were also soggy and colourless - this time I was ignored by the 'hostess' who probably knew herself how bad it was but then chose to argue with me that she and the chef had both tasted the dishes and said that they were fine and still charged �13 for an inedible lunch. We won't be going back and suggest you don't go either. lizmun - 13 Jun 2011 10:06 |
| Lovely location for a summer bank holiday lunch Unfortunately all down hill after we arrived for a family meal Huge queues at the bar, but we were taken to our table that we reserved. We ordered drinks immediatley that took nearly an hour to come - it was really hot in the restaurant part and we were all wilting. The food was very average and again took over an hour to come They say fish is a speciality - but they forgot to include the dressing on the sea bass The cheesburger was the worst I have ever seen - made Mcdonalds look good. It had a slice of that plastic orange cheese just dumped in the roll - not even heated or slightly melted. Just cold like a flacid piece of lino - shocking! The waitress did her best, but it was clear that the owners had no interest in staffing to appropriate numbers for the holiday We will not return rob6 - 25 Apr 2011 16:21 |
