The Flying Legends: Where dreams take flight (and gravy boats crash-land) Let's be honest, folks, calling this place "legendary" is like calling my goldfish "Olympic hopeful." It was, well, fine. Like, the kind of "fine" you muster up when your grandma gifts you a novelty sweater with your face on it. 3 out of 5 stars, because hey, at least the pigeons outside got a decent show from the upholstery rebellion happening on those chairs. The food? Let's just say the pie I had peaked faster than a toddler on a sugar rush. It looked like it auditioned for the Great British Bake Off and got eliminated in the handshake round. Dry? Nah, that's an understatement. It was drier than a nun's sense of humor after bingo night. The service? Adequate. Think Wetherspoons on a bad hair day, minus the questionable carpet stains and the existential dread that comes with a £1.99 pint. Speaking of questionable, the toilets were a symphony of questionable smells and questionable life choices. Let's just say, they weren't exactly on Mount Freshmore's "must-see" list. So, there you have it. The Flying Legends: not quite soaring, more like gently gliding into mediocrity with a thud. But hey, if you're looking for a place with the ambiance of a forgotten attic and the culinary delights of a microwave dinner, then this is your bird's nest! Just don't forget to pack your own air freshener and a good book (because let's be real, the only "legends" you'll find here are the dust bunnies under the bar).
I visited on a Saturday and managed to get a table around lunch time without reservation. Saying that, I heard some people had a wait time later into lunch. The service was quick and efficient, they seemed to have plenty of staff on hand to help. I'm not sure what happened on the day, but apparently there wasn't a fryer for the fish they had. Had scampi instead but seemed to be relatively cheaply made, was still nice. The coffees were good prices for what you got but the tea seemed a small amount. Overall good experience, good staff, good service, okay food, good atmosphere.
My son was invited to a party here during the sen session yesterday 21.01.2024 with his friends we ordered food but was told they don't serve it in the warehouse over the weekend so we had to split it my husband when in the restaurant with the other kids and I waited with my son in the wacky warehouse as I couldn't leave him but this policy needs looking at cause what was I to do if I was a single mum and I have health problems as well I am diabetic so have to eat small and often and I can't leave my son either on his own while I eat and then when they finished I went in to eat my food wasn't warm by this time and it wasn't very nice either I don't think that we will be coming here again none of really enjoyed the food at all and this is the 2nd time I have been here and had problems now. So I won't be coming here again. You offer a session for sen children but you also need to think of the parents and other factors that are involved in this like serving food into the wacky warehouse it would be helpful and wouldn't cause distress to the children who are in the session and the parent could maybe enjoy a bit of food it is clear that who ever thought of that policy doesn't have a child wither extra needs or what it takes to be sen parent as this wouldn't of been and issue and you should of been able to accommodate knowing that we have enough on with our children so having a nice warm meal delivered to the table with no stress and eating as a family would of been instead of it been split
The flying legends is a Hungry Horse pub. Is manly aimed at the pub meal trade. There is a good choice of beers and lagers including two cask conditioned real ales. It's a nice comfortable pub with a pool table. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the service was quick and efficient. The food menu is extensive and there are meal deals on. The Italian chicken dish with baked potato and salad was very tasty.
Vegan reviewer: The hungry horse always has a decent range of vegan options, which is great for a chain pub. We popped into the fLying Legends for a bit of food after the cinema. It was busy but it’s a big pub, the service was quick, and I felt like I could come back for a chilled out pint at some point. We had moving mountain burgers with chips. Solid. Decent. Enough said. I also tried the apple & berry crumble with vegan ice cream- surprisingly delicious! Would definitely have again. Nice pub, nice food, you get what you expect. There was a two for one on the burgers so I got the whole meal (2 mains, 1 dessert and drinks) for less than £20. Decent.
