Weavers, Southboroughback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Called in here for a pint on the way to (and from) the Saffron curry house on Thursday. The ale was most excellent - a great choice on the pumps and the IPA I opted for could not be faulted. Add the roaring log fire on that cold November night and this made for a brilliant boozer.
Ample parking and with the amount of lighting on the roof timbers it's also easy to spot if you don't know the Southborough area!

We enjoyed a delicious, typical English roast at Weaver's on our visit from Dresden and found the service to be impeccable. Our brunette / copper-highlighted waitress was charming, efficient and helpful. We shall definitely be returning next time we're in England.
Auf viedersehen, Wilhelm

Wonderful food, (almost) great service, but SACK the blond waitress!
I've just returned from the Weavers after being there for the first time. The place looks very nice being a 16th century building.
The food was fantastic (we had the lamb shank special and the mackrel) and the waiter serving us was professional and a very nice chap. The meal was pricey but worth it, and the Guiness tasted great! Even the cigarette machine dispensed 20 cig packs unlike the London machines which give you only 16 packs.
However, we left with a very sour taste in our mouths:
After asking for and getting the bill, a blond waitress whom I gave my plastic card to managed to break it in half right infront of my eyes.
Then she just ignored the fact that I gave her 1 card and recieved it back in 2 halves. She did not apologize or even acknowledge what she did. When I confronted her about it, she had the audacity to say "It was the machine". Only after I told her that the least she can do is aplogize, she blurted a weak "sorry". Too little too late.
I've been using plastic for many years now, and never ever has a card been returned to me broken in two!
To the management of the weavers: you have a fine place, but that kind of attitude will make sure we will not return anytime soon!
I realy wanted to rate this pub an 8 or a 9. But I can't. sorry.

I too was suprised to read the other reviews. I hadn't been there for 4 yrs as it is a bit pricey, but a group of 6 of us went yesterday & had a superb time. It is such a beautiful restaurant / pub inside & out & there was a lovely atmosphere created by the friendly staff. We had mains & desserts, which were of a very high standard & beautifully presented. It worked out at £17 each, which considering we had 2 courses & 2/3 drinks each was very reasonable. The waitress who served us was polite, friendly & professional at all times. The service was excellent. A good time was had by all & I can therefore highly recommend this restaurant.

I was surprised to read the other 2 reviews for The Weavers and wonder if they're writing about the same Weavers that I know! My husband and I really like this pub - the staff are exceptionally friendly (particularly the restaurant staff) and the food well presented and delicious. The only downside is that the restaurant is very close to the bar so it can get a bit smokey (cigarettes) at times - but this will soon change with the government's smoking ban. In the summer they have patio tables in the garden which is nice for lunch or a drink. It's a lovely pub and would recommend it to anyone.

The oldest building (which happens to be a pub) in Southborough dating from around the 16th Century. This gorgeous building has a average chain-pub type food. The lounge is lovely when the coal fire is lit whilst the other "bar" side is a bit scruffy. This place is almost there but needs to improve it's food to be in the frame. Populated by socio econmic groups of mostly C1's and the odd C2. Beer garden also - but thankfully no tv's
