    Awful experience. Waited an hour for starters which were 1 portion of southern fried chicken and 1 kids garlic ciabatta. Ended up having to go to the shop to buy some snacks for my child as we had waited so long. Had this table booked for a while. Was not told when we arrived that there was a delay. By the time the mains came along we were no longer hungry and had to leave. Still ended up having to pay a bill of over £70 for food that was not eaten and not very good service

    Nice experience.. however I needed to keep my coat on as I was cold. Food was nice though. It was clean and inviting with the deco. Will be going back once it has warmed up a little.

    Waitress, Lisa, was friendly and attentive. Food was great and good value for money. Only issue we had was that we had a table booked at 1.30 and it took an hour and a half for us to get our food after ordering. People who had not booked a table got their food before us.

    The food here is always good and the staff are great. We had a child with allergies with us this time. An allergy list was given straight away and his meal was adjusted to suit his need. There is something for everyone on the menu. Looking forward to returning.

    The meal was very good hot and well presented, but the service was very slow and not very attentive, having to chase for service of further drinks.

    Visited with a group of 7 on a Sunday - we all had roasts (shame there was no lamb as an option) , but other meats were cooked well , especially the pork belly , large portion sizes and all freshly cooked and piping hot , service was really good and attentive. Desserts were also nice - well presented and generous - all in all highly recommended and good value for money.
    The New ChimneysResponded on February 12, 2025
    Hi Stephen We're so glad you enjoyed your meal with us. We have a new menu coming soon, however Lamb is still not a roast option, but there is a lamb dish on the Monday - Saturday menu coming, with some other new amazing choices :) Hope to see you again soon The New Chimneys Team :)
