What Debra Rosser dislikes about Darran:
I’m not sure where to begin. I visited the restaurant on February 17th for my birthday with 24 others. The steak I ordered was tough and rubbery, and the hunter's chicken came without cheese or barbecue sauce. The service was lacking—a few staff members were rude and unprofessional, simply slapping our plates down in front of us, although Lisa was helpful. Additionally, the beer prices felt more appropriate for Londo... View all feedback.

Today, I visited The Darran for lunch with my dad and occupational therapist. There was only one lady working, but she was kind and explained that she was on her own. She brought our drinks over and gave us some time to decide on our orders. Despite having to wait a bit, I didn't mind because she was managing everything by herself. The buttermilk chicken strips and popcorn chicken were delicious and beautifully presented. The chips and fries were flavorful and enjoyable. The rocket salad was also really tasty. The drinks were fresh and the decor was lovely. Although the restaurant didn't have the Marston's logo, it had other indicators that it was a Marston's establishment. It reminded me of The Otter and The Spring River. I believe they should add the Marston's logo, but overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend this place for a meal, 10/10.

This welcoming, clean, and cozy pub has professional and friendly staff. Our meals were delicious, and I enjoyed them with several pints of SA Gold, which was excellent. The menu and desserts were great, and we can't wait to come back for another visit. Thank you.

We arrived before our reservation time but were promptly seated at our table, which was a nice surprise. I enjoyed a curry and a drink, both of which were delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and polite. For vegetarians, the Thai curry was a standout dish. Parking was easy to find, and the cost per person came to around £30–40. Overall, I would rate the food a solid 5 out of 5.
