The Alfred Tennyson (fka The Pantechnicon Public House and Dining Room)

Everything a bit dry looks as if it were cooked and kept heated For £25 I expected better

I have visited other Thomas Cubitt pubs and had great experiences, unfortunately this didn’t live up to it. The food was sub standard and expensive for the quality. It was average pub food and not elevated it any way. Setting is nice but can get noisy when a few people like in. Overall I wouldn’t return or recommend eating there.

We had an overall good Sunday roast experience. For starters the pig’s head terrine and piccalilli were excellent but the scallops ceviche was a joke, no seasoning and presentation was poor, a handful of gems lettuce sprinkled with two(? thin sliced scallops, avoid that at all cost especially the £17.50 we were charged for. The Angus beef roast was delicious, very well cooked and tender. Trimmings were nice especially the green beans and gravy. I asked for more gravy unfortunately it came 10mins later and was cold. Dessert was succulent, crepes Suzette were perfect! The service was very pleasant especially the host at the front desk! Merci beaucoup!! All in all I will come back.

Food very over priced and poor quality. Waitress did not have knowledge of the drinks on offer. Won't be returning

Sunday roast not worth the price tag. Better options around the area.
