have been to The Weavers several times for informal lunchtime business meetings and been served great food each time until today. May 12th 2009 I took 3 work colleagues for an off site meeting and recommended them to have the bangers, mash & onion gravy. I've had this before with creamy mash topped with plumplicious pork sausages from a local butcher. Today we got lumpy mash and 3 tiny Tesco value type sausages which had clearly been cooked some time before and allowed to go cold and then warmed up in the hot gravy. They were hopeless - hard and almost indedible. I did tell the server and she said the local home made sausages split in cooking because the skins were too thin. A poor excuse for what was bad food. One more try and then I won't go again

A lovely old building - it is even better inside than out. This has recently been taken over and has been cleaned up a lot, we were told there is more work due. Louisa is the manageress and she keeps a mean pint of real ale, the best I've tasted in a while. The new chef has really got his act together. we enjoyed a meal there recently and plan to take family there v soon.

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.

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.
