We were looked after, and the environment was nice. The food was great, hot and tasty. Thaks. Meal type: Brunch Price per person: £10–20 Wheelchair accessibility: Toilets are upstairs would recommend double checking that there is an accessible toilet downstairs, as I didn't see one.

However, I did notice one thing: when there are customers waiting at the bar, it would be better to pause the bottling and restocking to attend to them.

We each ordered a different meal from the menu, all which was really delicious. However, we ordered ‘two half pints of lager’ and when they were served to our table, they were pints. But as it was a birthday lunch we let it go. One of us ordered a coffee with a ‘mini dessert’ which was clearly on the menu. When it was served up, we said to the server, if this is mini, what is the large one like? He assured us it was the mini dessert. Of course when we came to pay, we were told the ‘mini dessert offer ended yesterday’! There was no mention of the mini dessert being on any ‘specials offer’. We were offered something off here and there, which was no good to us, but as it was a special lunch we let it all go. We had a really nice time at the Grasshopper, staff were really friendly, and as mentioned food was very nice. We will definitely be back, but will make sure we get what we order.

We had a great time at this pub! We used the function room for a catch up and ordered some delicious food. We will definitely be returning in the future. read more We had a great time at this pub!

I paid 15 pounds for 3 sausages that tasted like they had been sitting on a heater all day, accompanied by a meager scoop of mashed potatoes. The onion gravy was practically nonexistent, and inexplicably topped with an onion ring. Charging customers for quality food is unacceptable when the meal is worse than a 2-pound ready meal.

The food was great, the tastiest veggie I have ever tried, even the peas were not as plastic as anywhere in the UK. The atmosphere is another plus: one of the few nice pubs in the area, with cosy sofas and antique objects placed everywhere, even a scale in the loo. It also has a well-seized car park, if you're planning to drive there. Highly recommended!

Eating in the evening during the week only the dinner menu is available, not the wider choices offered on the breakfast/brunch/mains menu. One of the Duck dishes had to be sent back as so tough. No problem with replacing it. The staff are delightful. I would not eat here again in the evening as the food choices are limited , I might try a lunch.

The signage was poor and at no point were we warned by bar/ waiting staff that we had to log are car registration. So a mediocre meal was followed later by a demand from Brittania parking. For a large fine halved if paid within a certain time still a lot of money . Being a holder of a disability parking badge I could legally have parked outside on yellow lines for free. I appealed and eventually after showing proof of purchase in said pub . I received a condescending email about being let off and don't do it again, well I can honestly say I won't as I will never go again and advise others to be careful. Poor service backed up by a charge trap

Decided to go out for a meal for our anniversary, We ordered our drinks with the pleasant staff(no fault here). Meal itself was ok, nothing special just standard pub grub. When presented with the bill i had to look twice at the price of a 250ml glass of wine £12.50, sorry this pub is not high end and in a city, granted it is a large venue but the prices here are too inflated for whatever reason(probably think because they are situated on the cusp of a very wealthy suburb then they can get away with it).

The service was slow, and we felt rather neglected by the staff, which is one reason I would have preferred the restaurant setting. The food was of good quality and flavorful, but we had to wait a long time for it to arrive. While we waited for our starter, I noticed our waiter holding our food and stopping to chat with a coworker, which was not very impressive. Additionally, it took ages for anyone to come and bring us our bill. Ultimately, we had to go to the bar to request the bill ourselves, and then return to the bar to pay since no one came to take our payment. Overall, it wasn’t the best experience, which is unfortunate because we have enjoyed previous visits.

Very disappointing. Slow service. Staff busy and thin on the ground. Sunday roasts all gone at 14:05. Expensive, £60 for 2 people including x4 drinks. Poor value. Food ok but nothing special.
