We had a really great meal. We had burgers and dishes from the small plates menu, and they were all delicious. I was able to pick gluten free options too. The service was excellent, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the pub had a really nice atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Arrived at 7pm ordered a drink at the bar and was seated at table, opposite the kitchen with a view of the kitchen and food service counter, shortly after a member of staff took our orders 2x house burgers with fries. So far so good.Watched starters and main meals being plated up and placed under the warming lamps. At 7:50 watched one of the serving staff pickup two plates with burger and chips on and place them on my table, at least 15 minutes after the meals were dished up.Fries were at best warm, didn't bother to try the burger.Complained to the staff that the meal was cold. Was told no more burgers left!Paid for drinks and walked out.

Friend took us to the Knowle for dinner and we all thought the menu was well thought out and with the addition of the specials board there was enough variety or everyone. Service was friendly, good humoured and efficient. I chose the Chicken Schnitzel for a change because it had loads of exciting veg with it (Jerusalem artichokes, celeriac plus walnuts and apples), the chicken was moist and the veg was exciting and delicious. We will definitely be going back

The Knowle provided an absolutely superb Christmas Meal for our organisation, and were extremely helpful from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly, they were a delight. Thank you to all the team for making it such a special evening.

I Visited the Knowle with my partner on Friday and seriously had the best steak I have ever had! I eat in restaurants quite frequently and could not believe the quality and presentation of this steak. The pub had a buzzing atmosphere and the staff were very polite and helpful I asked for house wine then changed my mind and had the Malbec and that was no problem at all. The staff are very accommodating and make you feel at ease. We did not book, although were lucky enough to get a table. I always love the food at the Knowle, the loaded fries and Aubergine dish are very good too. The beer is always kept to a high standard and nice and cold, they have a great cocktail menu and the Malbec was great. Thanks so much to Mike and his great team for always being welcoming and 10/10 for the food.

Another well spent Sunday in another lovely pub on an autumn afternoon. Amazing pub, service is very friendly. The pub was packed so is obviously a popular place.The roast itself was very nice, had the pork belly which was nice and tender, crackling was delicious as well. Special mention to the Yorkshire pudding, gravy, carrots and cauliflower cheese. Roast potatoes were ok, nothing special.

Went there with 8 people and a newborn. Didn’t tell us over the phone that they expected us to eat roasts and desserts and have drinks in just an hour and a half! Seriously? That’s insane. And really GREEDY. The staff were clueless and frankly, rude. My partner asked for a coke, the waitress said she didn’t have any, only spray Pepsi. My partner was then informed that they had no bottled water only tap water, that is so weird! My partner then went up to the bar and saw coke in a bottle which she ordered. We asked again why she said there was none and she just shrugged her shoulders. They kept badgering us about the table every 10 mins like a countdown! BUT they were so slow in taking orders and I had to ask 3 separate girls for dessert menus. So they’re incredibly slow but also want us out in under 90 mins. Management- please train them better.! I told them nicely at the end that it was too short a time and felt rushed and greedy. They honestly don’t care.

The Knowle was an awesome experience, went to meet some friends. First thing we were greeted by friendly staff at the bar who showed us to our table, I'd asked if we could have a table close to the toilet which they were happy to do, although there was a little step into the pub a stick user and wheelchair person could get in but warn them in advance as it can get crowded. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was excellent. The prices were on par with what I expected for dine in table service. It was a great time had.. Thank you The Knowle! ?Parking: There are a few spaces at the front of the pub but they get filled up quickly.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no wheelchair accessible toilets at the Knowle, but if you are a stick user I think you should be ok. I am a stick user. Crutches might be awkward to use due to tight space in the toilets.

Amazing service, great little pub to meet up for food. Lovely views from the beer garden.

The driest, most overcooked burger I have ever eaten. The bun tasted like cardboard and didn't even come with relish or mayo inside. No table service outside either.
