The Cricklewood

It was ok except the meat in my steak pie was tuff wouldn't go there again

Nice food, good selection, and friendly staff.

Live locally and hadnt been for quite some time with the family . Im not hard to please with food and Im certainly not a prima donna where menus are concerned ... but the quality was average at best (two dishes not available on menu) The sunday roast was 'just ok' , came stacked in a disorganised pile and wasnt as fresh as it could be and the gravy was thin and watery. My daughters Mac n Cheese was dry and tasteless. Really wanted this to be so much better then it was . Service good and atmosphere decent.

Popped in for lunch. Hadn't been in this restaurant for a long number of years and was pleasantly surprised to see it had been renovated and the modern seating area was very comfortable. Lunch menu choices were good and although prices were a bit higher than expected, the food quality and service were good.

Service incredibly slow, food cold on arrival

Funeral reception party. We had to ask when food was arriving as we waited so long. It is understandable to wait as it's a party of 22 and food is not pre-ordered. However, food made to order should be warm. Most steak pie orders were cold, some to the point of being inedible; the chicken was not greatly warm and was tough; the tea out of flasks was 'stewed'. Management accepted comments and gave free sticky toffee pudding to everyone, although quite a few didn't actually want it by this point. The pudding was actually the warmest and nicest thing served. The room was also very cold and we had to ask for radiators to be turned on. It was a stress that the family could have done without on the day - listening to their guests complain. That being said, the staff were friendly and did their best.

Went here for our work Christmas night out and the service was incredible. There was 15 of us and they made sure everything went perfectly. One person wasn't a fan of their meal (nothing wrong just not to their taste) and the server offered a replacement and when she said no offered her something else in the house. The male server we had (sorry didn't catch his name) was incredible making sure we were all looked after and drinks kept coming. We will definitely be back and will go again with family as the environment was amazing!
