i use this pub all the time it is amazing i come here weekly to the Sunday carvery and it is great with the animals out side for the kids. its like having your very own farm. and the carvery is to die for its not very often you can say that you have eaten a carvery that every thing is fresh and local but henrys cant get any fresher especially the meat from there own buchers it is great its so good going into a pub and knowing that you are going to get looked after i dont have to even tell the staff what i would like anymore they remember every time. and they are great with the kids and as a parent i don’t have to worried at all about the children getting in the way of the staff because they just include them its so unusual to get great service and to have a laugh at the same time. Sometime it can be slow but what else do you expect on a busy sunday afternoon with 200 people coming throw the door. i bet if more people wrote a coment on here there would be more good than bad but unfortunately the people who have bad experiences always shout louder that the ones that have great experiences. roseanne - 30 Mar 2011 20:40 |
| This is a warning for anyone considering booking Henrys for their wedding reception. Although the food and the DJ supplied on the night were fantastic the staff were very poorly trained and quite disinterested in serving guests and keeping the bar stocked. We practically had to manage them ourselves. The worst thing about the evening was the complete lack of care for our property. We were hurried out of the door at the end of the evening and assured we would be able to collect everything in the morning. The following day we arrived to find everything missing including the wedding cake stand (worth about £50) although the cake that was sitting on the stand was returned to us. Where everything had disappeared to no one could tell me. After several phone calls some of the items miraculously turned up but no cake stand. I had been promised a replacement by the Manager, Chi, but more than a month later and numereous phone calls and weak excuses it still has not yet arrived. I have no doubt that he is hoping I will have to give up eventually. Not very professional and business like! This business took a huge amount of money over the bar at our reception and they have shown a complete lack of respect to us as customers. It is a shame as it could be such a lovely venue. The garden is unkempt and there are the remnants of old and dirty rabbit and hamster hutches near the entrance to the pub. There is also a problem with their central heating system as the radiators need to be on so that they have hot water (a staff member told us this when we aksed if the radiator could be switched off) . The clue should have been in the number of portable fans (many not working) dotted around the place. It was not a particularly hot evening but all the guests were sweltering in the heat of the radiators. Despite all this the DJ was fantastic and the food was good. but the lack of respect from the manager has marred the memory of my wedding day. redcow66 - 28 Sep 2010 13:12 |
| 16 th Century the French Revolution fully exposed beams and suits of Armour the Sir Henry Gurnett has them all..the beer is great there is no problem here but overall a rather moribund atmosphere.. Never tried the food so no comment there the staff though seem uninterested in serving customers and more interested in speaking to each other.. Could be a better place to enjoy a pint. hogshead - 14 Sep 2008 13:09 |
| Don't bother with the carvery. I went to the pub with my mother on Sunday 3 February. We chose the carvery. The food was cold and tasteless. After complaining twice we got a small reduction on the bill. Nice venue for a drink but not to eat. We won't be going back! barbarab - 4 Feb 2008 11:26 |
| We have just got back from this place and it definitey has changed since it has been taken over last yr. The decore is much better, the staff are friendly and very helpful. They do special menu offers, 2 courses £9.95 or 3 courses £13.94, however, the food is very bland and is no different to a microwave meal. The only reason we didn't complain was because we didn't pay much for what we got. the carvary looked lovely and we wished we had had that instead. we will go back and try this next time though. All in all you get what you pay for,lovely venue though. x lmyall2008 - 27 Jan 2008 20:14 |
