    I visited this restaurant for the first time today and although it looked really cute inside, I was left very disappointed. I ordered a roast dinner and as I ordered the beef I presumed this came with a Yorkshire pudding as other tables had yorkshires on theirs but when it arrived, there was no Yorkshire. This was strange to me as the table next to ours also had roast beef and they all had yorkshires on them so I don’t understand why I didn’t get one especially as that table ordered after us? My partner ordered a burger and requested no salad on the this but it still arrived with it on and his chips were cold. I also think it’s rude we were given a service charge considering my partner left the majority of his food untouched and our waiter didn’t even bother to ask if everything was okay. It wasn’t as if it was particularly busy so there was no reason to be making multiple mistakes. Definitely won’t be returning

    Great experience from start to finish. Arrived earlier than our booking with no issues at all. Food was delicious and our server was friendly and attentive. The decor inside was lovely as well. Perfect balance of cozy and classy.

    Service and food were both great. There was a small hiccup with our desert and it was immediately rectified. Our servers were chatty and happy. The dining area was cosy and the bar area was lively later on. Great place for Saturday lunch/brunch/afternoon drinks

    The whole evening was really enjoyable. We had a table booked at 8 but they accommodated us even though we arrived at 7.30. The restaurant staff were super friendly and took time to chat while taking orders. The food was delicious. We both had the turkey Christmas roast. Would absolutely recommend

    We've been to the Badger & Co several times over the years and this was the most disappointing visit we have had. The table we had was poor, stuck in the corner of the restaurant. I ordered haggis and steak pie with mash. Unfortunately when it arrived I was told that it didn't come with any additional gravey, really!!!. I asked for some additional gravey and got a funny look off the member of staff. We won't be visiting again.

    Hi Chris, We’re really sorry to hear that your recent visit didn’t meet your expectations. Our 2 window tables are very popular, and with just 11 tables in total, they can get booked up quickly. We do our best to accommodate requests, and we’re sorry we couldn’t seat you there this time. We completely understand how much a cozy spot can enhance your experience, and we appreciate your understanding. The steak and haggis pie, it’s served with gravy inside the pie itself, but we’re always happy to bring extra on request—just like we did during your visit. We’re really sorry if there was any awkwardness around that; we truly aim to make sure everyone feels comfortable asking for what they need. We’d love the chance to welcome you back and turn this experience around for you. Team Badger🦡
