Boars Head — Restaurant in England

My experience here follows the expected from a typical English pub. Outdoor seating included several 8 person benches without rain-cover, or separately a marquee that had rows of seats in shelter. Two security personnel are stood, one for each section of the outdoor seating. This would infer that it is a rough place, but it seems that most pubs are having two security on, especially on weekends.

Ordering drinks had been reasonably slow, however we opted to order multiple rounds at a time as it was clear they were understaffed in terms of +18 staff capable of preparing drinks.

The atmosphere was lively, friendly conversations and a regular stream of people in and out, interactive security and down to earth staff that were easy to talk to.

Saw an advertisement for a Burns Night Supper, 3 course meal and a 'wee dram' on arrival. 2 choices for starter, 3 choices for main, 2 choices for dessert. Booked a table 2 weeks in advance with a £5 deposit pp and gave our food choices. The event was last night and the tables were all laid out with tartan tablecloths. The food was delivered to the table, all hot and on hot plates. We were all encouraged to read out parts of the Burns Poem 'Address to a Haggis' with the other diners. It's was all in good fun, and everyone joined in. There was themed music playing all night in the background. There was great attention to detail for the evening. Thoroughly enjoyed the night and the food was excellent. All the staff worked incredibly hard, and the night was a success. Will definitely look out for more...
