Had a 6pm booking for Saturday evening confirmed by email but when we arrived the pub was closed & in darkness. Tried to call but the phone went straight to voicemail. We won't be returning.

Advertised everywhere as being open on a Monday from 12 noon. Arrived on Monday 8th Jan by taxi at 12.20pm and spotted an A- frame outside, suggesting it was open. It was not. Looking through the window, it was clearly not anywhere near opening and was deserted. I rang, but got no answer, so I left a message to say I was very unhappy to discover the pub was closed, even though all advertising stated it was open. Let's hope they at least update their website etc, as this spoilt our plans and cost us extra for a taxi to find an alternative venue.

Could not fault the waitress who served us and the food. The Manager completely ruined our New Year's Eve dinner. His attitude was absolutely disgraceful, I don't even want to go into the reasons why they were so shocking. Even more shocking was another staff member was getting ready in the restaurant to go out somewhere after which included straightening her hair. This is where people are still eating. I eat out regularly and in my 60 years i have never experienced this. Griffins Head... what on earth have you become since Simon and Rachel managed the place?

This is the 4th visit to the pub. Very professional staff and always pleasant and well manned. Food was excellent and in my opinion well priced. Party of 3 who all had different meals. The Christmas meal was really good.Dietary restrictions: The order was taken and checked by the kitchen staff for any issues with my son's allergies.

Absolutely fantastic meal. Lovely warm welcome and seated quickly. We ordered drinks and food which arrived piping hot and was one of the best Sunday dinners I’ve had. The service was superb. Not my first visit to The Griffin but my first review. I can’t fault it and the food is always brilliant.

Staff were rude and far to clever. Food was bog standard but waitress seems to find it amusing that after we ordered the mains that they were no longer available. We'll certainly not be rushing back here. Staff training needs to be updated.

Thank you to all the staff for accommodating us for a party of 13 at such short notice for my son’s 19th Birthday. Great food and service and friendly staff. ?

Food was great. Owners really welcoming and service was great - food came out really quickly to say we were in a group of 8.I had the brisket sandwhich and garlic mushrooms - both were delicious.
Went to the Griifins Head for our works Christmas Meal. The food was excellent, the Mega Griffin Burger was the best burger I have had for a long time. The steak and mix grill were also excellent. Staff were very friendly, will definitely go back.

We booked lunch here for 12pm and were one if the first there. It took about 20 minutes to get our first drinks as they only had one woman taking orders running the bar and serving food. It took almost 2 hours for our food to come and when it came, my mother and I had to send it back as it was cold. Both my adult sons food was cold too but they were too hungry to send it back. Our food came back after a minute and was soggy as is had been microwaved. My partner ordered a steak medium but it was extremely well done as well. As a family, we very rarely get to eat out together as money is tight. We were really looking forward to it. When paying, I explained our experience and they still charged full price. Griffin's head isn't cheap at all and paying for food and a poor experience that isn't great is awful. If they know that they don't have the staff to cater for a full pub, they shouldn't be taking more orders or at least warn customers that it will take a couple of hours for food to come out. That way we could have gone elsewhere. We won't be returning and I'm sure the group of elderly ladies across from us who arrived at the same time won't either. They still hadn't received their food when we were leaving!

Terrible, party of 7 and no one liked the food, service very slow with drinks, booked a table but when we turned up nothing booked but they could fit us in, not surprised, also very over priced, will never go again,

We went tonight for a family members birthday. The service was just as shocking as the food. The Chef came to the table and was extremely rude when we stated what was wrong with our meals. Firstly three meals were returned as they were cold and then blasted in the microwave. One of the family members ordered a fillet steak cooked medium which it clearly wasn’t, the chef cut the steak down the middle and sent back out demanding it was medium.. it was not!! A mixed grill was that cold it wasn’t touched at all. The way this was handled by the staff members including the owner/chef was disgraceful. We paid in full and left. We will most definitely not be returning! Staff training and manners need to be addressed immediately! Very disappointed…
