I almost never write reviews but feel the need to for this one... Booked in a couple of weeks in advance for a work team lunch. I was not contacted about a pre-order, nor was I responded to when I messaged them asking about one. They only set up the table when I arrived. 15-20 minutes after being seated, we were given an updated menu with things they didn't have in stock. I was waiting at the bar to order for about 15 minutes while other people were served as soon as they came in (granted we had a big order and they were just having drinks but no communication at all). Lots of sighs and huffs while we were ordering and were told we'd have to go and get our own coffees from next door if we wanted them as they were short staffed - even though they were on the menu. Finally got the order put through and *just* as I paid was told it would be a minimum of a 45 minute wait which we couldn't do as we all needed to get back to work. The amount was of course refunded but along with a shrug of the shoulders and a 'not our problem' attitude. Absolutely no communication at all. This isn't the first time I've had a lunch messed up in here either - but at least I got to eat last time! Great place to drink but definitely do not recommend eating here.

Hi Kameron, This sounds like an awful experience and probably is the reason we are now the new owners of the pub! We've been here 5 days and would really like to get you in soon to show you how we've already changed things around. Please feel free to drop us a message or email with your contact details and we'll make sure you're looked after the way you should have been earlier this month. Harry & Jack

We had a confirmed reservation via open table. The staff simply sent us away. Blaming open table. I do not recommend this place at all. Very unproffessional.

i'm a regular for drinks, first time tried the stone baked pizza, not for my liking for the price paid. Staff and service is great.

Beware of booking here! Not enough staff, over 10 mins to be served at the bar. Really poor food with items missing despite asking us for a pre order. No mozzarella on my mushroom starter, as per menu, and calamari not crispy. They'd run out of mushy peas for my pre ordered fish and chips. Pie was meant to come with mash but turned up with microwaved dauphinoise that tasted like it was from a discount supermarket, and the gravy was gloopy and weirdly sweet! Wine we wanted (Viognier) not available. After 9pm all patrons asked to go inside, due to residential area. While this is understandable, unfortunately it meant the volume levels were crazy and it was impossible to hear each other. Staff tried their best, but clearly some major issues to get sorted here...
The Square TavernResponded on July 10, 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the issues you encountered during your visit. We are very sorry to hear about the delays in service and the shortcomings in the food quality and availability. It’s disappointing to know that your dining experience did not meet the standards we strive to uphold and we will address these issues with our kitchen. Regarding the early closure of our outdoor area, we ask all patrons to come inside after 9 pm out of respect for our neighbours and to maintain acceptable noise levels. We appreciate your understanding and the efforts of our staff, and we are committed to resolving these issues promptly. We hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future. Kind Regards, Faye

Don’t book here for football it’s on about a two minute delay. Always try to give this pub a chance it is lovely for drinks but so unreliable, previously booked table for 8 to eat turned up and told only 3 pizzas left, and they burnt one! Great for just drinks (if don’t mind random closing very early)

Arrived at 6pm and ordered drinks. 20 minutes later was informed that because they were quiet they were shutting at 7pm. No time to order food or enjoy meal but APPALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Unfortunately we arrived for the ‘post marathon’ experience having had someone in our party run the marathon to be told the kitchen was closed. We had booked and had our booking confirmed. As you can imagine we couldn’t find anywhere else to eat near the station. It was a disappointing end to Marathon day.

We had a group of 18 friends for Easter Sunday lunch. From the start the manager was on the ball… they took our pre-orders for lunch a few days prior by email and in one case they notified me that one of the soups was not going to be available ahead of time and offered us a substitution ahead of time. On our reservation day/time our table was all set up and they were ready for us. Everything was seemless with our food and beverage delivery! The food was good - not one complaint from any of us! The staff was very attentive and friendly and highly social with our group too! I would highly recommend this tavern as they did a wonderful job with our group lunch!
