Ye Olde Saracen's Head

Came for our 12 year anniversary we don't get out much having 2 young children and we are so glad we chose to come here! Food was the best food we have had for a long time! Everything was perfect no faults at all. Food came so fast. Service was great lady serving us was friendly and kept checking back Great experience will definitely come back.

I booked to celebrate a friends birthday, table for 8 in the restaurant with service. Great position apart from the tables being split so felt difficult to enjoy the whole party’s company. Having said that, we were served 8 amazing main dishes. Thoroughly enjoyed by the whole party which from experience is hard to do it seems. Waiting staff were great, friendly, attentive and professional. There was a great atmosphere as lots of tables occupied. Did empty out after the early bird sittings but quickly filled again. We will be back for certain.

Booked a table for 9pm. When we ordered our starter and main course at 9.15pm we were informed that our starters and main courses would be served very quickly one after the other because the kitchen closes at 9.30pm. This was very disappointing as we were celebrating our 35th anniversary and wasn't expecting to be rushed. It never said on their Website that the kitchen closes as 9.30pm ( you could have booked a table at 9.15pm ) and the table was booked from 9.00 to 10.45pm. The food was lovely but rushed ( 3 course served and eaten in around 80 minutes ). The staff were very friendly and the ambience was good ( strange though that they were playing Christmas songs on the 27th October 🤔). I informed our waiter about the kitchen closing early resulting in a rushed service and he said he totally understood our concerns and that management were aware, as others customers had complained about the same issues.

Really nice atmosphere and a good place for dinner with friends or family. I found it really odd that the kitchen was closing at 9pm on a Saturday and we had to order everything in a rush. I had been there a few years ago, and apparently the pizza quality has definitely worsened, but at the time, the chef was Italian. Moreover the price increase is not reasonable considering the quality of the food and especially on low effort and costs desserts. I would like to give them another possibility, and hopefully, they will take the review into account.

Our waiter was lovely, we were gutted we didn’t have any change to tip as they passed the card machine without the option to tip. We had a mixed roast and a beef roast with cauliflower cheese side and it was one of the best roasts I’ve had in so long! I’ve told my friends and family about it since and my boyfriend said he wants to come back and try more from the menu! Look forward to being back :)

It was very easy to book online and to notify about special needs - access for a 101 year old and another with dietary needs. Very personalised email response to this and, when we arrived, the attention of the staff was great - really mindful but not overbearing, incredibly polite and nothing was too much trouble! Food was beautiful - tasty, well-presented and generous portions (the 101 year old was very happy to be able to have a half portion!) All in all, a really lovely Sunday lunch!
