| Went for a meal this evening. Everything seemed an improvement on recent reviews. Speed was good, food quality good, beer range good. The decor seems to have been toned down a bit since my last visit. My impression is that it has improved in the last month or two. Food price not low, but not too bad for what you get.

| I have been to this "pub" several times over many years and have seen a gradual deterioration in the standard of service. I went again last night (Thu 28th Jul 2011); arrived at 1900, found a table quickly and was served by a very pleasant young waiter who took our drinks order and brought them to us some 5 minutes later. Thereafter the evening didn't go quite according to plan. I had to search for the waiter to take our food order (1930) and, eventually, got our food at 2030. As has been mentioned by other writers, the food was late, not hot, and, in my partner's case, wrong. To be fair her dish was changed straight way but the quality of both meals left a lot to be desired. It is not possible run an establishment the size of The Bridge on minimum staffing levels. If Chef & Brewer lived up to their own publicity then they would be ensuring that staffing levels were more than adequate at any time. Your aim is to provide a hospitality service - try doing that and you might see an improvement in your customer;s comments. BillC1 - 29 Jul 2011 18:43 |
| I'm fairly local to this pub and keep giving it a try to vary my drinking/eating venues. I probably visit once every 3 to 6 months but would go more frequently if only they could serve you within a few minutes of arriving at the bar. The last time I visited was in a group of 6 and we ate lunch – on a bank holiday Saturday weekend. The pub and gardens were not even a third full and we had to queue for 15-20 minutes for each drink or to order food. I do not exaggerate. It's been very, very slow service now for a couple of years at least despite a change of ownership or two – and probably will remain so until they get rid of the 'do everything (but slowly)' tills. It's also quite pricey. Beer's ok. Food's ok. Garden furniture is not brushed down. Loos are good. It's beside a river – but it's fenced off so that you can't see it ( why ??). Parking easy. Staff seem to change so frequently an opinion would be out of date by now. Give it a go if you like odd furniture and are patient – oh, and if you run a tab...check your bill. ben83xben83 - 16 May 2011 14:52 |
| Some body needs to grab hold of this pub and turn it back into a pub!! Sort out the poor food and get rid of some management. At a time when every business should be doing their best to encourage customers back, the bridge fell at every hurdle. A real shame as it probably has the best location for miles.

| Had a good meal in the evening. Speed of service, both for food and at the bar was very good, better than last time I tried. Food seemed to be of good quality and an interesting range on the menu. PaulGreen77 - 30 Oct 2010 15:23 |
