Food was amazing, it was quiet when we went but still top service. My steak was cooked just how I wanted and not served on a skillet so didn't continue cooking either. Will definitely be coming again to try more of the

Visited 28/3. Drinks, starter and 2 mains, service was appalling. Only 1 staff on the bar, looked only to be 1 person on the floor as far as I could see. Took an empty booth with empty glasses and dirty plates as no option. Ordered on the app, no problem.Food took about 25 min to arrive, nachos, burger, pizza.Staff brought drinks, didnt remove dirty plates etc. Then brought 2 plates of food, left without removing dirty plates, brought 3rd plate a few min later, had to ask for him to take the plates. Asked for some cutlery, none ever arrived. I wandered around the place until I found the last 2 knives in a tub and a couple of forks.Pizza and burger ok but the sharing nachos were so smashed up you had to eat with a fork, there were no complete tortilla chips in there, only small broken peices and crumbs.I wouldn't recommend this place. A shame as I visit the peacock in kettering regularly and the food and service is great, I was expecting the same standard.

My husband and I went into the optimist about mid afternoon for some food and drinks. The pub looked OK clean ect, but we were only in the pub 10 minutes if that, we went to the bar and gentleman behind the bar was on the telephone and we waited after 5 minutes of waiting and no acknowledgement from the gentleman we left and went to the wig and pen along the road where we were warmly welcome.

Grace and Bernard were very nice. Music playing at the right volume. The arsenal vs Crystal Palace was playing with sound. Very good price and value for food and drink. Definitely have a look if your around town.
