Floor creaking with staff and a heavy foot walking on floor boards can get really irritating and particularly noticeable when waiting for food to arrive. Wait time was 40-45minutes. Not much available as vegan or lactose free, I asked, but staff member couldn’t answer. So good note for people with dietary requirements. Cheese toastie was lovely, but should’ve been named coldie, but was lovely nonetheless. Chips, were okay, I’d describe them as thin chips with skin, resembling wedges. We were asked if we wanted ice in our drinks, we both said no, I was given JD n Coke with ice. Style was a bit mismatched inside, deco may need a look at. It’s a bistro, smells like an old bistro, but then the deco of the place didn’t give off the right feel. With a tv you’d find in a pub not a bistro. Place feels like it’s trying to be too much for different demographics, it didn’t work for me, but who’s to say it wasn’t to other peoples taste, cause they are clearly pulling in customers, definitely a busy place always.

Read moreMy wife and I visited this place while passing through the area. Lovely place the front of house staff were polite and nothing was to much trouble for them.
The kitchen team did a great job of the food I had ham and tomato omelette which came with a lovely dressed side salad and I had chips has a extra. My wife had lasagne and that came with same lovely side salad has my meal and garlic toast both meals came out the kitchen in good time and were hot and nicely presented.
Both meals were very nice and reasonably priced. The drinks were good there was a few ciders and soft drinks as well has the normal ales etc. Covid measures were in place with hand sanitisers on the entrance and exit and staff wearing face masks and tables being wiped down and sanitised regularly between customers.
If you ever in the area it's well worth a visit to this lovely place you will not be...
Read moreThe Old Market Tavern has always been a great spot. I used to pop in after shopping for a basic sausage and chips, but the menu's had an upgrade and it’s a bit on the fancier side now. Totally fair with changing tastes, but it’s not really what I come out for, so I probably won’t be back for food. That said, the milkshakes have always been delicious and worth returning for. The atmosphere’s still great and the staff are...
