   Food was very good - we had steak and the pie, very good portions. Coffee was good, and service was fine except that, considering how quiet it was, the staff appeared less attentive/present than they might have been.

   A very enjoyable experience all round. Very generous portions, great value and relaxing atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautifully decorated for Christmas and would be a perfect place for a Christmas party.

   Waited 3/4 for a roast - asked for no yorkshire pudding but cheeseed cauliflower instead - no- one asked about allegens or celiac disease - received a yorkshire pudding , roast potatoes looked & tasted like ready made frozen ones - sexist misogynistic graffiti all over the gents & old fashioned insinuating supposed 'jokie' plagues in the ladies.....no one informed us it would be santa run day which would have been nice to know. We would have stayed for a pud but the service was too slow so we didn't bother - my last visit to eat in this pub was 25 years ago.......nothing has changed & needs updating, rather shocked!

   Terrific lunch. Very nice staff. Delicious food and generous portions. And quick service. Nice ambiance too - with a bustling bar, but plenty of room.

   I was delighted to find that The Roebuck could accommodate a late booking at such a busy time of the year having booked late the night before for a 1:30pm table seating. At every stage, the staff were very warm and welcoming, polite and helpful which was great to see. Ordering was very straightforward (at the bar) with no long queues or slow service. The food arrived relatively quickly and was to a very good standard - delicious roast with a variety of accompanying veg and the obligatory large and tasty Yorkie. The pub keeps a very very good pint of Harveys Best which was an added bonus. We then proceeded to throw a curveball and ask for two afogatos, which were not on the menu and needed a little explanation. After a little while, we were presented with out prize which topped off the meal perfectly. A big thanks to all the staff for their flexibility and warm welcome. We shall be back!

   Can not fault the food, service, staff, atmosphere. My concern was that two burgers, one fish and chips, 1 Guinness, 1 cider and 1 lemonade came to £70

    Visited with family for Sunday lunch. Arriving at noon. Very disappointing. Husband ordered Ham egg and chips, after 10 minutes informed us that they had run out of ham. Surprising so early in the day and felt this should have been information given to the waitress when she took our orders, my daughter is vegetarian and chose her only option. The pastry was far from flaky, the filling slimy and the gravy glutinous. I chose lamb shank having established it was gluten free but my dinner arrived with Yorkshire pudding which she had said were not gf. Service was slow. The shank was average. Service was slow so we did not have time to try the desserts. Previous visits have been satisfactory but this was disappointing. The children enjoyed the playground whilst waiting for the food to be served.
