Although me and my partner have been to Robin Hood multiple times for drinks and tacos, we finally had the Sunday dinner from Robin Hood/Tacolypto. I was so looking forward to it and it did not disappoint. I had the braised beef shin which was shredded off the bone before serving and it was so tender and flavoursome. My partner had the chicken which he said was very nice as well. The roast potatoes were absolutely on point, super crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside, which Iām not sure how they do as the roasties were relatively oval shaped, not cubed and fluffed up par-boiled to get those crispy edges! The gravy was super nice too, and the veg had the right amount of crunch. Iāve never been a fan of spiced red cabbage so I left most of that but it was still okay, I tried it again for posterity but it just isnāt for me. The mashed potato was nice but a little too smooth for me, maybe Iām just used to my mumās mash with slight lumps in it and a ton of butter and cream haha.. You could tell the Yorkshire puddings were homemade, massive size, crispy on the top and slightly soggy on the bottom but in a good way, just how I like. Terry even made a little doggy dinner for our dog, who absolutely lapped it up and was literally begging for more. All in all the roast was splendid, as well as service and drink prices. Terry is an accomplished chef and although weāve only caught the roast dinner as itās coming to a close, we wish Terry the best of success in the future and look forward to sampling his future...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe recently went to the Robin Hood for the first time in quite a while and the new owners were exceptionally friendly. The subtle changes to the decor are great but what blew me away was the food. Someone mentioned they went there recently for the Sunday Roast and it was the best they had ever. Since it wasnāt a Sunday we had the fish & chips and Iāve had a few in my time but nothing came close to this. The fish was cooked perfectly with a wonderful crispy chipotle batter. The minted peas and home made tartar sauce were fantastic and the coating on the chips made them very, very tasty. Exceptional. The transformation at the Robin is great with many shows & events scheduled. If you want to support a local pub...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWent here for a Sunday Roast and boy was I impressed. I went for the vegetarian option and recieved a lovely concoction of sweet potatoe, feta cheese, red pepper and almond. The real stars on the plate were the turnips however. I will admit, I've never been a huge fan of the turnip, but whatever the chefs here did to theirs has converted me. In fact, all the vegetables were done to perfection. They were generous with the portions too, which really added to the appreciation of the meal. We were seated by staff who couldn't do enough, despite us being walk-ins. I couldn't recommend this place...
