What AJJP1 likes about Saracens Head:
I called in for lunch and had a really fantastic experience A great genuine warm welcome The real fires were brilliant on a wet miserable day Huge food choices and specials Sadly I only had time for a sandwich, one of those visits when you wished you could kick back and really indulge The food served to other diners looked great Can’t wait to return View all feedback.

At the Saracen's Head, guests experience a mixed bag of service and culinary delights. While many patrons praise the warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food options—from gluten-free meals to hearty pub classics—others have reported troubling service incidents. Complaints regarding defensive and rude waitstaff following minor meal critiques have marred some visits, leading to bewilderment over the restaurant's customer service approach. Overall, while many return for its charm and community feel, consistency in service remains a critical area for improvement. The Saracen's Head is both loved and lamented in equal measure by its visitors.
