Long time favourites of the Friars Head eatery and experienced it change hands a number of times. Took dad today for his birthday lunch. Although a limited lunch menu I believe there’s sufficient choice and the presentation and quality was delicious. I had the Eaton mess for desert which was lovely. The bar-man seemed a bit uninterested, but the restaurant manager was on the ball. We did wait quite a time even though the place was very quiet but it was worth it. We had three drinks, three mains and two deserts from the luncheon menu and the tab was £54. That is a ridiculously cheap lunch in my book! Will definitely be returning.

Curry night. Pre-booked as requested as there was a group of us. We sat an hour without any food, food, when it finally came wasn't worth the wait. I can honestly say that out of the 7 of us, I don't think anyone really enjoyed it. Service all over the place like the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. The first time here, maybe last, will wait to hear if anything changes. Wanted so much to enjoy this, but hey, ho. Will say, though, the restaurant manager did apologise.

Food itself was really and cant be faulted and they catered for gluten free. The waiters didn't seem to have a clue what was going on. Paid before our food came (foolish) one of the items wasnt available and they double charged us for what was already an overpriced burger. In all fairness the manager was really helpful and resolved it by refunding. Was an okay experience although let down by the rude old grumpy golfers that were also in there.

We had a small gathering for my husband 50th birthday last week here and the manager Craig couldn't do enough for us. He went out of his way to get my husbands favourite drink in Jim beam when they wouldn't normally sell it. We were stuck for time to put up the birthday decorations so he saw to that for us too. Pizzas were a massive hit with the guests. Thank you friers head Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

Poor! Very Very slow service. Exceptionally bland food it's actually quite an achievement to make a bland curry, no sign of a spice! Cheap cuts of meat in the beef stew. Also expensive for the quality of the food. Very noisy and cold. Vegetarian options: Not good.

Went as a party of 5 for a birthday meal last night. The food was lovely, the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Service was great. Very atmospheric with the Christmas decorations and music. They even sang Happy Birthday. The seafood platter, Tuna and mulled wine were particularly nice.
