The Great Lyde — Restaurant in England

Booked here for a Sunday roast for 2 originally and rang back a few minutes later to ammend it to 4 and they were happy to accommodate which was great. When we arrived they had no tables available in the restaurant so we had to sit on a table by the front door and bar where we had two dogs sat under the chairs, which we don't mind normally but when food is out its not ideal. A young girl took our drink order, we asked for 2 orange juices and 2 orange and lemonade, 2 orange juice came out but we were waiting for a while for the other 2 drinks before we had to say something and they came. We were waiting a while before someone came and asked if we were having roast, and brought over our roast menus. Once they were collected it was then quite a while till we got our food, and there was also no broccoli, not a huge deal but still an inconvenience. So after our food we were asked if we want the dessert menu, it was brought over. The girl that brought over the menu then went home and we waited a while again till we were then asked again if we would like the dessert menu. So we told them we already have it but the girl that gave it to us is gone. So they went to collect someone else, then we were asked by someone else if were having dessert but we decided to leave it. We were polite throughout as we could see it was busy. But if it was this busy we never should have been able to book. Shame cus I heard good reviews before. Possible just a...

I’ve never been here before, but have heard it has been less than desirable in the past. I’ve seen all the good reviews recently and thought we’d give it a go for Sunday carvery. I was not disappointed and can happily say I agree with all the good reviews! The food was brilliant for the price. Meat was lovely, potatoes nice and crispy, vegetables cooked to perfection. All very tasty and we ate loads. The service staff forgot to bring some drinks over, and one of our puddings, but she did say the till was broken so it had made things difficult for them to keep track of what was going where. And as soon as we asked, they brought it over immediately. All staff were super lovely, friendly and welcoming and apologised for any inconveniences and so it wasn’t really a big deal at all. Excellent customer service. Very happy over all and will definitely be coming back again. Especially as my little boy fell in love with Chester the pub bulldog and has insisted that we...

Went for a carvery and you can not fault the food ! Will be returning no question about that.

The only let down for me was the service, very slow although it was Mother’s Day and very busy so I did cut them some slack on that but waitresses very slow with taking orders snd forgot to take our drink orders so we had to prompt them several times. I also witnessed the waitresses playing rock paper scissors for who took the orders when the table next to me asked to place orders for puddings after waiting a long long time as we did which I thought wasn’t very professional but with all that said the manager was very apologetic about it and was very friendly and will definitely visit again .

Very affordable prices and very good portion sizes and as said before food was top notch highly...
