The pub could be amazing but in our experience the food lets it down. I ordered the game ragù linguine with truffle but it was nothing of the sort. It wasn't a ragù (which is slow cooked meat and sofrito), it was just watery bits of meat with canned tomatoes. The truffle was undetectable. The linguine was all cut up, like you'd give a child. I really felt like I was eating canned spaghetti. The steak and ale pie was better but not amazing. Then the sticky ginger pudding was supposed to come with honey roasted apricots but in reality were dried apricots out of a packet. The chef/team clearly cuts corners and the menu is misleading. Thankfully the manager on duty agreed and at least took the ragù off our bill. The interior is very nice (although the very big stuffed badger is a bit off-putting when you open the door) and the service is friendly. Really wish the food lived up to the menu description as it's now a local for us and is dog friendly, but we won't be going back.
Dripped in for a pint after a footie game. Welcomed and treated to some good will gesture snacks about 10 of us and was not to much trouble. Friendliest and kindest pub staff and customers we have come across in a long while. Very impressed
We went to The Badger today at lunchtime and had a sandwich which came with chips and coleslaw and we also had some chicken wings then a dessert. All the food was really nice, qreat quality and good portions for the price. The manager and staff were really friendly. A really nice pub and we will definitely go again.
Came for a business trip for two nights. Outstanding visit all round after a long day travelling and working. The food and drink was lovely on both nights and compliments to the chef and the team! Customer service was excellent all round and specific thanks to Julie for sorting me a taxi and a phone charger after leaving my charger at work! Avoided a whole world of pain and so very thankful. Definitely the hotel of choice when in the area and well worth a visit! 🔥
Saturday night out with four friends. The place is very cosy and the serving staff friendly. The food was fair and reasonable priced with ok portion size. The downside was not being offered a coffee before the machine was closed down. At 9.45 we were told we couldn’t have a Gaelic coffee or any coffee as the machine was shut. Even when we said no one had told us it would be shutting and could they please turn it back on we received a very firm sorry we can’t. No offer to ask the manager. So I asked the manager myself and he kindly said he would let us have whatever coffees we wanted. To be honest three of our guests had then decided to have something else instead so only one of us had a coffee and miraculously the machine prepared a coffee within a few seconds. These days I think customer service is all important and 9.45 pm on a Saturday night is cutting it a bit short I think especially when you don’t offer your guests a chance to order one before they close it. No apology from the manager or agreement that it’s not really great service just an offer to turn the machine back on. A little customer service training is in order I think 🤔 There are so many places to go to with similar prices with an attitude like this why would we be encouraged to return?
