What User doesn't like about The Honest Lawyer:
we have eaten here several times in the course of the years and are always impressed, but this time not so much. the menu was very small and is just the usual pub food they can get anywhere. So say that eating was okay and the service. attentive, just not as good as before. View all feedback.

The restaurant, once a beloved local gem, now presents a mixture of delightful and disappointing experiences. While many still enjoy the encapsulating atmosphere and attentive service, recent visits revealed a more limited menu, leaning heavily on standard pub fare. Customers have voiced concerns over inconsistent food quality and service professionalism. However, highlights include generous portion sizes and a warm, inviting ambiance, making it a decent spot for gatherings or casual meals. The establishment may still hold appeal for some, but prospective diners should be prepared for a hit-or-miss dining experience in light of recent changes.
