Went here for a night out on the Monday with some friends. Was very disapointed with the service, the woman that was serving us would ask whether we wanted a drink, one of would say what twe wanted and the next minute she was gone without waiting to hear what the rest of us wanted. Though she would have forgotton what we had ordered when she next came back to take our orders for the food. I thought they had pads to write down what you order so that they didn't forget though clearly it seemed these didn't make a bit of difference whatsoever.
The food was disgusting, seemed like it had just been cooked in the microwave and was ver very slimy, some of it didn't even seem like it had been cooked. The only thing that was good aout it was the pudding but that still isn't going to convince me to go back there again.

Loved the place as an 'Out and Out' - a restaurant menu that was slightly different and child friendly with helpul staff.
Now..... well it's just another Beefeater!

Had to make do with this pub, as two others I tried (Black Horse and Whip and Collar) don't serve food on a Saturday ! (What's all that about ???)
Anyway, the Crooked Billet.
On entering the place with children, first impressions were OH NO ! Full of louts and definately NOT a family place. It was smokey and very noisy. However, we were hungry and as previously stated, pub food was thin on the ground. When we did discover the restaurant section, it was much more appealing. Staff were great (our waitress, though foreign, spoke very good English and made a fuss of the kids) Food, though on the expensive side, and not big portions, was very well presented, and cooked perfectly. Also, it only took 10 minutes from ordering to being on the table.
If you do go there, don't let first impressions put you off, as the restaurant area is much more relaxed than the bar area.
Anyway, if it's Saturday, you don't have much choice....

The Crooked Billet is incredably smokey, especially given that the restaurant is apparently smoke-free.
The new hardwood floor and painted walls makes this pub incredably noisy, even when few patrons are present.
There is a large beer garden (read beer field!).
