I bought a bottle of house white wine at the bar and after I'd paid I realised she'd forgotten to give me wine glasses. Obviously just a mistake, I patiently waited to catch her eye to ask for a glass but she seemed to not see me for some time. After serving others, she finally caught my eye so I asked nicely for a wine glass and she snarled at me like I'd asked for her kidney and angrily banged the glass down on the bar with no apology or acknowledgment. The people I was with were astonished. It was like she hated me yet I'd never met her before in my life.Anyway, there was only one friendly person behind the bar (early on in the evening), and three very surly rude ones. Not worth risking going there again. Definitely don't go for a birthday unless you're a masochist and enjoy being treated like the scum on the scum of the bar person's shoe.Nice decor though.

When I arrived they had lit candles on the tables it looked pretty. I had ordered party food. We had mini burgers, fritters, kofta etc. Everyone commented that the food was great. The staff friendly and relaxed. We had a lot of fun.

The Scolt Head is gorgeous inside, but also has a amazing beer garden. Surrounded by a hedge it's the most relaxing place to meet your friends for a drink, or have a nice lunch of diner. The food was delicious and the staff friendly, i'll definitely be back soon.

However, my recent visit left me disappointed not because of the pub itself or its offerings, but because of the staff. Despite their website stating they are open until midnight seven days a week, they began closing up at 10:30 pm on a busy Wednesday night. They were rushing customers out, loudly announcing that everyone needed to leave by 11 pm, and were disruptive in their cleaning efforts. When questioned, they claimed they always close at 10:30 and give an extra 30 minutes to finish drinks. This was not my experience in the past. One staff member even mentioned they were closing early because they had a long day. It makes me question if the website is inaccurate or if the staff simply wanted to leave early. I will give them another chance, but if this happens again, I will no longer frequent this establishment. The management should be aware of how their staff are behaving when they are not present.

The staff is generally very friendly. If you are looking for the classic ambiance of a neighborhood pub with a simple yet excellent kitchen for dinner or Sunday Roast, this is a great choice. The only downside is the limited beer selection; they could benefit from offering a few guest cask ales and draft beers.

Can't ever get my head around why playing the volume at 11' is the establishment's way of thinking that this is the perfect environment Fortunately the weather was not too cold ...but really guys ..? If you play the music at 6 or 7 ...people will still come....you might even get more people frequenting the pub.... Try it-no?

A little salt and pepper helped a long way. What I couldn’t change was the temperature. Upon arrival, my plate was quite cold. I saw the steam coming from my food, so surely the food wouldn’t be cold. The meat and some veggies were warm, but the whole dish quickly became cold. The potatoes were cold and dry, too. I wholeheartedly recommend the sticky toffee pudding. It was very delicious and not too sweet. The plate and the dessert were pleasantly warm. The service was fantastic, all around a pleasant crew.

I found the noise level was a bit high, but it didn't bother us as it's a pub after all. It's supposed to be lively, otherwise it wouldn't be a very fun place. LOL.
