We went for a Sunday lunch often eat out so have had lots of comparisons, the food was generally very good we had the scotch egg and makeral from the specials board as starters so not sure if they are always available my scotch egg was delicious would highly recommend really tasty a nice little kick of spice and the lovely runny egg was just as it should be ,we both had the trio if meats for main course also from the specials board the meat was well cooked we like our beef rare so it was slightly pink but very nice and tender there was also a slice of pork and gammon . The yorkshire puddings were very nice I think they were cooked in duck fat as were the roast potatoes. The one negative point I would like to make and I know they are not the only ones that do it but charging and extra 5.50 for a potion of cauliflower cheese is ridiculous if you wanted stuffing I think I'm right in saying it was 3.50 extra those things should come as part of the roast and not as an extra it's just money grabbing in my opinion . We also had a cheese board to share 13 pounds for it Said 5 different cheeses with some biscuits very nice the cheese was from Aubrey Allen's but the amount you got was so small there were I think I'm right in saying there were 8 biscuits 5 slithered of apple in my opinion grapes would be better as the edge of the apple was going brown and portion of chutney I can't fault the quality of the food but there are things that could be improved as I've...
Read moreOur party of 3 booked a table on 23/03/25 for a Sunday lunch booking the table on line I advised one of the group had a nut allergy 2 of us ordered lamb shanks and 1 roast pork with a side of cauliflower cheese the waitress took the order and asked if any one had any allergies I advised her that my friend had a nut allergy and that I had also recorded it on the online booking When the meals arrived we were all delighted to see our plates we shared the cauliflower cheese and was about to eat when a very nervous waitress came and asked if any one had a nut allergy as there were nuts on the cauliflower cheese All 3 meals were taken away and apologise given unfortunately there were no replacement lamb shanks left which was very disappointing I had beef and my friend had Cornish shepherds pie with a massive pile of greens and my friend was able to have the pork she originally ordered we also had a portion of cauliflower cheese, Unfortunately the replacement meals were not good and I ended up taking them home for my dog we didn’t have to pay for our mains due to the allergy mix up it was a nice jester but unfortunately we did not enjoy are experience and it could of been very detrimental to my friends health We did enjoy Harvey he was a ray of sunshine very friendly and professional he made...
Read moreI NEVER go out to eat Sunday because I’m good at making my own thank you and no pub can match a home cooked roast and all the trimmings! Well. I’m here to report that the amazing Star and Garter has proved me wrong. Service was excellent, the floor staff happy and laughing, clearly great team dynamics fostered my a good manager. Service was prompt, the specials advised and orders placed. Food arrived promptly. Duck starter was excellent. But it’s the roast dinners that take centre stage. A very generous portion size of the meat of your choice. The roasties were perfect. I’d like to mention is dispatches the vegetables though Lovely buttered cabbage and leeks perfectly cooked with just the right amount of bite, roasted root vegetables and the cauliflower cheese was to die for. The icing on the cake was that exactly at the point I’d popped the last piece of potato and Yorkshire pudding into my mouth, slightly disappointed that I still had plenty of meat in my plate, that a waitress appeared at my side asking if I’d like more potatoes and another Yorkshire pud, the size and lightness I’ve not seen before. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. A truly wonderful experience so thank you to all the team at the Star and Garter in Leamington 👏👏👏👏 I’ve never been so happy to be...
