Pear & Partridge

Pleasant pub. Friendly, obliging service. Tables nice & clean as was front of house appearance. Only disappointment was the fact there were no chicken strips available, which seem to feature in a few of the dishes on the menu, which some of our party chose. However an effort was made to substitute these with similar foodstuffs. Waiting time for food was reasonable & it arrived hot. Will happily return in future.

No frills, you know what your getting, good honest food at a great price. Its still far cheaper than all other pubs, In fact its cheaper to sit in comfort than any of the 11 local chip shops and cafes. Great staff and management, just let down by GK hierarchy that brush you aside. One of the few GK pubs that have guest ales on rotation and take CAMRA card.

I put this place down as 3 stars. Meaning it was ok my reveiw was based on an unbiased reveiw from a wide range of angles. The reason I put ok was because it's a nice place. But it came across to us as a local drinking establishment. That's not a bad thing. As I say we liked it. And I think it's a great place for meeting mates and having a good session. And I would highly reccomend it for that. Ergo I would go there again. However in this day and age most pubs aim more firmly at the food market. So would I choose here to go for a meal with the kids. Probably not given options. However I would also not go if invited with the family. Its difficult. The staff are lovely and it's clean. And it's nice to see a pub used as the more traditional usage. It's not a bad thing. It is well worth a visit it's a nice place. And I would say a good place to start a night before off into town.

Please read all sections of this review: Part of the Greene King chain of pubs. Ample parking, the tables well spaced, staff very helpful and attentive. Standard pub type food. My Steak and Kidney pie was a little dry inside. A pot of gravy was supplied with meal. My friend's Chicken and Mushroom pie was moist inside but the pastry was a bit hard. Prices not too bad for what you get. See pictures, onion rings were a extra. Update: Went for Sunday lunch Easter, staff were helpful, Sunday roast was perfect. They had put on an Egg hunt for the children and presented them each with a larger chocolate egg after our meal, nice touch. Update: See pictures of Christmas Turkey lunch and sweets, Apple crumble with custard and Chocolate Fudge cake with ice cream, everything cooked and presented perfectly and friendly staff. . Update 09/23 Went for Sunday Roast, the place hasn't changed, friendly, welcoming and fantastic food. I think one of the things that make this place what it is, is the Staff, so helpful and friendly. Shame I Can't increase my original 5 stars to 6. It's a chain pub but there is something that makes it stand out to the others.
