What User likes about The Griffins:
Hadn't dined at The Griffins for a number of years. Has been tastefully renovated, we were provided a very comfortable semi-private dining area for our group of 16.

Food was wonderful - I... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Griffins:
Food was disappointing. The duck was chargrilled till black and tasted burnt on the salad. Although the accompanying salad with dragonfruit was refreshing. The octopus linguine in a rose sauce was also lacking in the "hero" ingredient = octopus. Definitely not returning for another meal here. On the plus side, the toilets were clean and the atmosphere is good! View all feedback.
