Really nice food and a welcoming pub. The staff member on shift was friendly and had a nice chat with us.The pub decor I also liked, and the place was clean and tidy.

Ah yes,, the magpie.... its now a gin bar ( sigh ) .... its always been a nice looking place though...friendly staff.If pretentious nights out are your thing,, this is the place for you .I was once regular here for around 20 years.Update: July 18 -( please note that my review was based on multiple visits to this establishment when it first reopened advertised as a gin bar, and the reaction from people who enjoy having their ego stroked, helped with the description of my review at the time . However,, for obvious reasons this is subject to change and quite often is ).Apon a re visit, I can confirm that the food ( as it always was, being in the good food guide with previous owners ) is a very good standard with a very good price point , which was something I had not previously reviewed here.The staff are very friendly and very helpful, and again the building Is beautiful and listed in places.Irrespective of my review which is mearly my humble opinion at the time, I do always encourage anyone to discover their own experiences with any establishment reviewed.The experience will always be different if alcohol is consumed, and my review does not include that.My opinion is exactly that and doesn't necessarily reflect the true dynamic of any place in its entirety, but only for the experience at the time.As a non drinker, the magpie along with many other pubs offers a pleasant dining experience regardless of the inclusion of alcohol.

I looked on Google for Sunday roast near me, the Magpie Combs Ford came up, we went into pub got a nice welcome from owner/staff and some locals, nice selection of beers, ales, cider on tap, roasts come in small, medium and large, one local joked have the large then you won't need to eat til Tuesday. We opted for medium, generous amount of meat with choice of beef, pork, gammon between us we had all 3, they were tasty and tender, then you have roast parsnips, roast potatoes, stuffing, then you have around 10 vegs to choose from, the cauliflower/brocoli cheese - the sauce was so good, all vegs cooked just perfect, then sauces and the gravy mmmm was so tasty and thicker as we all like it. The desserts list is also great, we had Belgium waffle and jam roly poly see are photos, the custard was so creamy. We booked ahead would definitely recommend this. Thank you all at the Magpie, my only regret is that I am not a local because this would definitely become my local pub if I did. Will be back though worth the journey.
