The two ladies working were so a 5 star for them. However everything else was disappointing. We waited over 25 mins for a and cheesy chips. It was not very busy either. Wednesday deal build your own £5, so a price. The was overcooked. Dimly lit which helped to hide the dust, and bits on the floor under the table. The worst was the visit to the ladies toilets. They are grim! It does not look like they have had a scrub in a long time. The floors in cubicles were black. Lots of free parking. Level access. Good deals throughout the week. We won't be going back and do not recommend. Edit I did not mention onion rings in my review! There was a misunderstanding as they were not in the burger. Your timer is obviously not working correctly. Great food and atmosphere, little mistake happened between ours and the take next to ours orders but it was quickly rectified when the server realised the mistake with the 2 tables children's meals. Gammon cooked perfectly not dry like some places. was lovely. Grilled halloumi was perfect, not over cooked either. Will eat here again next we're in the area July 24, called in to get some food and a cheeky pint of cider before the England Holland game came on👍 Well it was a Wednesday, so we thought were would go for the Build a special😋 Choose your choice of burger, we went large for an extra pound aswell! Then you have a choice of 3 extras with the burger👌 Really enjoyed this, oh and a couple of pints of Thatchers Berry cider😋 lovely! April, called in again today for a late dinner and a few pints of Thatchers Berry cider👍 We had the same dinners again👌 Gammon, eggs and chips, plus Hand battered Cod and chips. Lovely food again😋 Though inflation has got to their prices now, They have gone up slightly, but still very value. Though it must of cost the company more money to reprint all the menus!😱 Still great value on comparison to other places to eat👍 January 5th 2024, 12.30pm We called in again for our dinner today, thought it would a treat. We loved the food last we visited, so we ended up ordering the same meals again👌👍😋 Had a pint of Thatchers Berry cider, my partner chose an Earl Grey tea. She had Hand made battered fish and and I had the Gammon egg and meal. The service was brilliant again, food all freshly cooked, came out quite quickly, for a Friday dinner time. It didn't seem long at all, as we relaxed, chatted and started to enjoy our drinks😋 The food was very tasty, very hot and plenty of it, we really enjoyed it again. Next we will try something else from their extensive menu👍 The value for money is so good, you have to come and try it out😀 First visit. We always walk past The Messenger pub with the dog and view the menu boards they have displayed, saying we should try this out! Well, today we were doing it and came down for a late afternoon dinner. This is a massive venue! Lots of areas to sit and tables, stools and even a large outdoor area. And, they have a fantastic display of huge TV's, probably 4, that you can view from wherever you sit. So if your a sports fan? It's a great place to eat and drink and watch something. We had a very friendly greeting by the landlady at the bar. where we chose our meals from the 2 for £11.50 range. Gammon, eggs, tomato and peas, then for my partner, she had Hand battered Cod, and choice of peas and a side order of curry sauce. We helped ourselves to accompaniments from the side of the bar and headed back to our table. We chose a Thatchers Dark Berry cider, which is a pint! Plus a large cup of tea. Well in no at all after sitting down and chatting, our meals arrived! My eyes lit up as the plate sizes were huge! Lots of food on each plate, which surprised me, for what it cost. The plates were piping hot, a sign! The food was fantastic, very tasty. Best Gammon I have tasted for a very long time! My eggs were very hot and runny👍 were crispy and nice and hot too! My partner Hand battered Cod was simply delicious! Its like the batter just melted in your mouth😋 We was very impressed with the quality of their food, value for money was brilliant! We travel a lot, eat in different places and countries! Some places are disappointing, as you expect nicely prepared food, temperature hot, and tasty. I would recommend The Messenger to have food in, we will be leaving the dog at home more often and trying more from their menu. Well done to The Messenger cooks and staff👏👏😋😀 thank you. A pub serving drink and food. Not a bad place for a lunch meal, food was little lacking on the service, barman needs to smile more and when someone says thank you the following normally comes with your welcome and not just silence. Locals drinking on a Monday lunchtime seem a little rowdy and the kitchen need to stay in the kitchen and not keep coming out and talking loudly with the bar staff. Seems like we might not fit with the crowd here got a lot of people staring at us but the food was OK, nice coffee just a shame the barman forgot to bring it to me. The rating is OK for a lowish-priced lunch also bar should state if they only have a drink in diet and not just expect everyone to be happy with diet. We ordered food at 6.30 it arrived at 7.15. when asked how long the food would be we were told it will arrive when it arrives we are short staffed. we then got out food but it had been sat under the heat lights for ages as it was rock solid. we didnt get a check back we left hungry and very disappointed. Ordered food two other tables came out befor our as well as only one plate of food off of our table an hour later ours came out after the poor bar lady had to keep going to the kitchen and keep apologising !! Chicken Diane sause was just warm wet gravey and watered down tomato soup. Food was ok, but nothing special to be honest. Typical pub food. After reading the glowing reviews, I guess I expected more. That night it twas extremely noisy though, would have been hard to have a conversation... Luckily I was by myself. Nothing to write home about. Nice place for a couple of drinks. Not busy and plenty of options for food and drinks. Darts, pool, and outdoor area is lovely. Nice place Going down hill. Bar excellent and very friendly. Poor choice for vegetarians. Senior menu assumes no vegetarians over the age of 65 or whatever age classifis 'seniors'. Absolutely disappointed with the growing downward trend of this pub. Used to so choice of food. So many items on the menu removed. No longer my go-to pub. Looks like something out of the 70s! Needs a major overhaul Our local, great pub and friendly as always. Looking for a quick lunch after shopping, we stumbled on The Messenger. We both had the Hunters Chicken Baked Potato which had an excellent side salad. Absolutely amazing!! Never thought of that combination before, but a work of pure genius. Add a pint and a half, and a 15% voucher - £16.89... unbelievable value. Friendly and helpful made for a great visit. Plenty of parking, great food at GREAT PRICES! Fast,friendly service and welcoming Landlord and staff. Don't know anywhere else you can get two lattes for under £5, delicious and piping hot. Would recommend a visit.
