    Had a very enjoyable meal. Met with the smell of burning wood from the log burner, lovely staff and good food. Will be going again.

    Very disappointed with the food the way it was presented vegtables very undercooked. Not very festive never heard of a discretionary service charge in a pub overall would not return.
    The ChelsfieldResponded on 26 December 2024
    Dear Tracy, I am sorry to hear that you did not have the experience you hoped however, I am a bit surprised too. I had been to your table multiple times to check that everything was good, but you never mentioned anything of the above. Regarding the discretionary service charge, the service is applied to every table that has received table service by our waiting team and it is optional. Again, I am sorry that you did not enjoy your visit and especially that you did not mention it on the day giving us the opportunity to fix it. Kindest regards, Chiara GM

    Went for Monday night dinner with family. Welcoming bar staff. The restaurant wasn’t busy. Unfortunately they didn’t have chicken that was on the menu so we had burgers and a lamb dish. The food was delicious. Could not fault it at all. I asked for oat milk with my tea, expecting a no, but that wasn’t an issue. The highlight of the evening was definitely the wonderful guy who served us. He was a very helpful, jovial and deserves a special mention. Thank you

    We were the only dinners for most of the time and the food was excellent as we're the staff. It took a while for the food to arrive but it was all made fresh so fair enough. Will difinitely be going again and thought it was a very varied menu.
