The Hawk

Hadn't visited for a while, staff friendly, it was very busy - almost too busy for the amount of staff, quick turnovers of tables and I do understand they're running a business, but I'm unsure if the priority is get as many in and out as quick as possible and therefore missing some quality in service and food. We had a couple of issues with a starter and a wrong dessert but they were rectified quickly with no issue. Food was good, menu was varied. Prices are ok.

Food & service was both great. Welcome at door average, not a very warm welcome, also didn’t inform us the table was needed back by a certain time & expected to get hot drinks & desert ordered & served in 15mins. Luckily our waitress found us a table to sit at for half an hour in the bar (but again time they wanted it back by, not given to us) so the manager poked her head round and tells us times up next tables here (we were shocked) got up and left but quite frankly the greet & kicking out let the restaurant down. Food & waitress excellent.

We visited today for Sunday lunch. Our waiter Brandon is an absolute credit to yor team. He was awesome from start to finish and was very knowledgeable. The roast dinners were great quality and large in size. I had summer pavlova and it was delicious and again large. My partner had the bombe that melts when sauce is poured over it ... great bit of theatre. Will definitely be back.

I made them aware it was my dads birthday so hoped they would put happy birthday on his desert and make it a little more special but they didn't. Nice staff but seemed very rushed on a Monday lunchtime so may need more staff so it's a nicer experience for guests. I am veggie and would of liked to have seen a veggie burger or fish and chips option rather than a curry or the salad bowl. We sat on the light brown wooden chairs that was very uncomfortable for us all. I did notice there was other chairs in the restaurant that we have had before that are more comfortable. Grandad was a little disappointed there wasn't many chips with his fish and chips. Also that the majority of his was just skin and not much potatoe. Good range of drinks. We loved the new mint crushed over soda water. Overall we wasn't disappointed just feel things could improve as we enjoy coming to this pub and the food was also overall good and I would recommend people to go. Also hand towels in the bathroom is always a nice touch. Also great price. We just had soft drinks, five main meals and four dessert it come to £120. The chocolate bomb dessert is delicious, nan loved thr brownie and the apple crumble was yummy.
