I mentioned to the bar prince 1, 7, 14, 3 man that I had multiple allergies to medication and drugs along with issues with pizza ingredients before ordering my lasagne. As an ex reporter for the travel trade magazine mystery shopper award, I was left very disappointed with the food. The wine and water were ok, very pallitable and good quality but the pizza chef put a mystery ingredient into the lasagne which caused severe arthritis pain and high heart rate and dizziness along with lack of coordination and cognitive impairment. The taste of the slow cooked beef reminded me of homemade pie and seemed good when eating but within 15 minutes felt unwell. I didn't expect this from such a royal name establishment. I very much doubt I will be returning to this place in the future, along with Naples hotels. Chefs need to be more aware of issues with multiple medication syndrome. Having had to take time off work for the same issues, and suffered since 1971 as an 18 month old, along with PTSD from issues as a toddler, staff need more training on the possible adverse reactions to staff having drugs on their hands and fingers and lack of hand washing. I felt the music was slightly hostile and not very welcoming and suggesting people should get high, even if customers know they are allergic to several drugs and medication. Its a shame. I feel this could be a good pub if it was...
Read moreBlissfully peaceful and such a humble establishment that gives a unique character to a part of the town centre that is simply crying out for Character, personality and dare I say, heritage.
Lovely staff, great beer and selection of drinks, great food with quality ingredients and certainly a place that I will visit again and soon.
NEXT VISIT: Yet again, amazing. I had brought my kids this time and as a single parent, I was somewhat anxious, to which the young lady behind the bar was just amazing 👏, eloquent and certainly something profoundly captivating as she was reading the late Autobiography by Matthew Perry, a book which was not only captivating, but I was somewhat inspired also.
We enjoyed a lovely selection of drinks and then when their amazing chef arrived, THE FOOD... My god, this gentleman not only makes the most amazing food, it's also where his 'homely' signature is portrayed within it also, to which my children were simply in awe, they could not stop saying thank you and don't get me wrong, I can cook lol, but this chef is something else.
The best, fulfilling, wholesome, family food that we have enjoyed, by far!
Peterborough, Stamford and surrounding areas, this chef and the captivating member of bar staff, just wow.
Best place in Peterborough to vist for a nice pint and amazing...
Read moreReally wanted to like this place when we stopped here for lunch but the food we had just wasn't up to scratch. If you see my other reviews I'm a big fan of chicken wings and will usually always order them if I'm a menu. My wife also likes them so we decided to get the sharer portion of Korean wings. I'm not sure who the chef is here but these were not in any way shape or form Korean flavoured. If I remember correctly they were advertised as having Gochujang sauce. The wings themselves were completely bland,.had been cooked in the oven clearly without any seasoning so they looked pale (and even though they weren't) uncooked which was off putting. The sauce was more like a sweet and sour sauce from a bottle. Prob Encona. Not nice at all due to the texture. For comparison I took a picture of the wings as advertised Vs what we got (see pics) it's really not difficult to make appetising wings these days especially if you have an air fryer / deep fat fryer. The rest of the food we ordered (truffle tater tots and beef tortilla) was ok but nothing great to be honest. It seems like the pizza here might be the way to go as other diners had ordered those but who knows. It's a nice venue and staff were friendly but there are issues in the kitchen here for sure. Sadly...
