"The restaurant's website provided information about allergies, but we weren't asked about them upon our arrival. I knew I could pick from the salad bar, and our waitress, Laura, informed me that they couldn't guarantee freedom from cross-contamination. I brought my own fork to serve myself to avoid using their utensils. For my main course, I ordered the Rotisserie chicken and carefully removed the skin. I paired it with plain chips, sweetcorn, and no gravy. The service was exceptional—staff were respectful, allergy-conscious, and offered great advice. There was a two-course special available, but unfortunately, there were no gluten-free dessert options. With the waitress's assistance, I enjoyed a 'deconstructed' chocolate brownie sundae, which included ice cream, cherries, fudge bits, and the brownie and sauce in a separate bowl so that my husband could indulge in those for me. I do feel it wouldn’t be too much to ask for a gluten-free roll to accompany the salad, but I truly appreciated the efforts made to ensure my safety and comfort."

"This was our first time at an Ask restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly, polite, and attentive. The service was relatively quick, but not rushed, and the food was absolutely delicious. The children's meal option was great, offering 3 courses and a babychino for just under £7, while the adult main menu was very reasonably priced. As a family of 3 (2 adults, 1 child), we enjoyed a 3-course meal for nearly £60. We would definitely return if in the area and will keep an eye out for other Ask restaurants in different locations."

"I am extremely disappointed with the food and quality of this restaurant. Initially, I requested fish but was told it was sold out, so I settled for portabello mushrooms. However, I was informed that they only had breaded mushrooms, which I declined. I also ordered prawns in garlic and chicken wings. When the chicken wings arrived, they were cold. After sending them back, they were returned very hot, which was satisfactory. The other three meals were decent but not great, and all portions of chips were cold. I will not be returning to this restaurant, and I will be sharing my negative experience with friends."

"My order come in a timely manner, unfortunately it was all nearly cold, I don’t think it was four cheese it was just garlic. And the Oreo dough balls were so chewy. I rang and complained and spoke with the manager, he offered collected my food, then called me. He asked if I wanted a refund or a new order. I asked for a new order which he asked me to text him, he then cooked all my order himself and had it delivered within 40 mins. I’m happy with the food, it’s exceptional and the manager should be proud of making food that nice. It’s a shame that’s not what I got originally but I am more than happy with my new pizza and four cheese garlic bread which was so hot and cheese melting in my mouth."

"I have previously given this restaurant good reviews, but unfortunately, my experience this time was not as good. When we arrived for our New Year's Eve lunch, we were not warmly welcomed by the female staff member who showed us to our table. She was borderline rude. We ordered our steaks medium to well done, but unfortunately mine was clearly rare and my husband's was only slightly better. He decided to eat his anyway. I called a staff member over, and my meal was taken back and a fresh one was presented. That was fine, but I felt uncomfortable when the chef came out on her way to the bar and gave me a hard stare, as did other staff members. Overall, with the subpar meal and poor service, we will not be returning any time soon, which is a shame. We usually spend over £80 on lunches, but we will be taking our business elsewhere in the future as it is clear we are not welcome at this establishment."

"Decided to give this place a try having been to Prezzo a number of times over the years and was very pleasantly surprised the restaurant itself was larger than I'd expected and was nicely decorated, and the food was excellent and enjoyed by the...whole family. We had a range of different dishes pizza, pasta, risotto and a vegan burger (with real cheese) and all were absolutely delicious. The pasta and risotto portions were also good certainly bigger than the meagre portions we've been given in some other restaurants. The only thing I would just mention is that some of the prices are slightly on the high side £12.95 (plus 10% tip) for a burger (which did come with very nice fries) did seem slightly steep. Nonetheless, we're all looking forward to our next visit."

"My husband, who grew up in the area, had a reunion with a high school friend who also married an American. After visiting the abbey across the street earlier that day, we were surprised when they suggested meeting up at this restaurant in the evening. I have always enjoyed the food in the UK, and this place did not disappoint. I was thrilled to see braised pork belly on the menu, which was cooked perfectly and served in a generous portion. I had no problem with the black pudding, as it reminded me of a Filipino dish. The apple fritter, which I initially mistook for an onion ring, was a nice touch. For dessert, I had the warm, sticky ginger toffee pudding, which was a perfect ending to the meal. Our friends were regulars at the restaurant and had a nice table reserved for us in the back. The ambiance was lovely and it was a great place to enjoy a meal with friends. It would also be a nice spot for a romantic dinner for a couple. Keep in mind that parking is limited and tight, so be prepared to walk a few blocks if you can't find a spot right away."

"I went to the Bold Forester with friends for a celebratory meal last night. I would say in the whole the food and service were good but my issue was that the fajitas came with small portions of the bottled guacamole, sour cream and salsa which are very tasteless. For the price we were charged (I think it was approx £17) they should serve fresh sauces with the food. The ocean platter starter was very good. We were also overcharged for a drink, which took some explaining as to how we did not receive it before it was removed from the bill. It was also a shame that the pub emptied out so early (maybe because it was mainly elderly diners) and we were the only table left after 9pm. I don't think I'd choose to go there again."

"Usually a nice pub at a great location but when we visited Sunday 20/3/22 we weren't told about all the dishes which had already sold out. Even the specials blackboard still advertised meals which were not available! It's a little disappointing when you spend 15 mins choosing something on the menu and then told it's not available. Even the fries we ordered were replaced with chunky chips. We did complain and got a decent refund but I'm not inclined to go back. The picture below shows the fish chips. It's £14.45....."

"The food was very good. Although they had a couple of items unavailable (understandable at times). However, the customer service left a lot to be desired. We had to ask someone for another round of drinks. Also our dishes were collected after eating our mains, and we were left to our own devices. Nobody informed us that the kitchen was closing. So my husband was unable to indulge in his favourite pudding. Then the icing on the cake was management refusal to accept Scottish £20 notes (although they are legal tender) Again there was no prior warning given, hence only a 3."

"My husband and I visited April 23 with friends and we had an identical experience with a review posted March 2022. Two of us ordered the avocado and the cocktail and the order was taken. After the meal we discovered that there was no avocado in the avocado and prawn cocktail. We immediately told our waiter they hadn't been able to get any for months to which my husband Tesco replied saying they always stock them and we told him we should have said if we ordered it. It doesn't sound like the message was received to the kitchen by Greene King and waiting staff!"

"meet with friends who live in front of places and this is one of their favorite choices that they treat us here for a meal. very friendly service despite a lot of pleasure and funeral on request of my wife less flavor in their desired choice could be the sharp of behind the face mask here. beautiful eating beautiful location conveniently located, we felt with extensive decisions both eating and drinks wise, the only negatiw was the seeming desire to leave us asap while we still eat that came as surprise, I could not imagine a crazy rush that was around 9 o'clock on a Monday night"

"Was surprised offer of a early evening meal here from the boyfriend who had come for lunch a few weeks ago.The car park is big enough so no worrying where to park we were lucky as we hadn't booked a table here we got seated and food order you have to do at the bar and pay beforehand which is a good idea as soon as you eaten no waiting around you can just go.The food was really delicious and decent size plates we has the lasagne and chicken pie which was plentiful didn't have room for pudding!The one downside was allowing dogs in which we had a dog near us and it kept barking of which we also heard another table commenting on this that was the only thing we found wrong but it won't stop us going back as food was nice"

"This restaurant review has a mixed opinion, with high praise for the food but disappointment with the service. We arrived a little early for our reservation and were greeted warmly and seated promptly. However, after ordering drinks, we waited for an hour for our food without any explanation for the delay. When we inquired, our meal came out shortly after. My meal was excellent and deserving of a 10 rating, but my husband found his portion size to be lacking and rated his meal a 7. Despite the delicious food, waiting an hour for our meals was unacceptable, especially since the restaurant was not very busy. The staff were apologetic and polite, but the slow service makes me question whether I would return. Additionally, when we asked for the bill, we had to go to the bar to pay as all the staff were congregated behind it, which was frustrating."

"nice refit from the old deans diner. feels relaxed. the personal was welcoming. burger and chips with 2 sides were beautiful, beautiful burger and well cooked. £13 for nice eating was in my book ok. free parking. toilets are clean, but I was child-free, so the baby facilities are not checked."

"We were extremely disappointed with our Prawn Linguine at this restaurant. It seemed as though it had been reheated rather than cooked fresh, as the pasta was hard and clumped together. We struggled to even cut through it with a knife. One of the meals was replaced, but in hindsight, both should have been cooked fresh. The difference in quality was significant. I would have expected the dish to be served properly the first time around. However, the staff did the right thing by not charging us."

"If you're looking to upgrade from Burger King, be prepared to bring your wallet to this restaurant. I was surprised to see that a basic burger, small fries, and milkshake for one person cost £20. While the food was tastier than BK and felt more like a diner meal, the price caught me off guard. If I had bought lunch for a family of four, it would have been even more expensive, especially when considering a trip to the neighboring Cinema or Rock Up climbing center. The decor and furniture seemed cheap and the ambience was lacking. The service was adequate but nothing special, and I was unsure why there was a tip jar at the order counter. Despite the high price, the milkshake was delicious and not overwhelming. I had heard great things about Five Guys, but the cost is making me hesitant to return."

"I made a reservation for 6:30 this evening. We arrived 15 minutes early but were told that our table was still being prepared. We were instructed to order a drink at the bar and wait to be called. However, after 30 minutes and still no word about our table, we decided to leave. Instead, we ended up enjoying a delicious pizza at Flour and Fire at Botley Mills. We won't be returning to Beefeater again. Additionally, the man at the front of the house seemed a bit disorganized, which may have been the reason for the poor service."

"I was tasked with organizing a meal for a large group of colleagues. We all wanted to sit together and catch up since we hadn't seen each other in a while. The staff at the Queens Head were very accommodating and set up a big table for us in a separate function room. We had pre-ordered our meals, and when we arrived they were ready for us and delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and the quality of the food was excellent. Despite being a large group, we were served quickly by only two staff members who were also managing the pub. A big thank you to the staff and chef for their hard work and great service. We will definitely be returning in the future."

"Took my mum out for lunch, as came here at Christmas 2022 with a friend. Staff came over and asked what we like to drink as it was cold I ordered a tea and cappuccino it arrived I had to sent the cappuccino back as it was cold waiter apolgize and got me another, which wasn't much better so I asked for a pot of hot water to keep the coffee warm. We had a small roast dinner, beef was slice wafer thin beef shop bought not proper beef, roast potatoes and parsnips could of been a bit crisper. The gravy was tasty though. Pudding mine was misleading I thought I'd get lemon sponge with lemon sauce on top and custard only to have a lemon icing cake and custard so don't order lemon sponge as you"ll get a frosted icing cake that doesn't go with custard. Two positives would be the gravy and service was good, shame the meal wasn't good as came here on 14th December 2022 with a friend for a Christmas meal and we had a great time and food was brilliant. This time not so good coffee machine was either on the blink or water wasn't boiled to right temperature."
