The Aviator pub offers a mixed experience, balancing potential with shortcomings. Notable for its dog-friendly policy and commendable staff, particularly one exceptional waitress, the service varies in attentiveness. While some diners enjoyed large portions and well-cooked dishes, others experienced underwhelming breakfasts and tough steaks. The atmosphere, described as dark and somewhat outdated, could benefit from a makeover to enhance the dining experience. Although the food quality is inconsistent, there is potential for better days, especially with outstanding staff leading the charge. A visit may be worth it, but expectations should be tempered.

Organized in March 2022 to hold a meeting here for 100 people, with the possibility of a buffet. the employees were amazing, very polite and happy to help. many thanks that would highly recommend

Finally visited here for lunch with my father, it was amazing to eat (rather portion! the staff were very friendly and welcoming, beautiful atmosphere and great prices! will definitely visit again!

Really nice place to eat. We had steak and ale pie and it was very good. The staff are also excellent

On Fathers Day, I managed to get a last minute reservation for 4 at 4pm, which I was grateful for. Our initial experience was good, we were quickly shown to our table , handed menu's and were served with drinks....then within a short time our food order was taken, from that point the service seriously went down hill...considering the resteraunt was not even half full we waited for over an hour for 2 roast dinners and 2 steak meals. Although the long wait the food was very good... within a short time the plates were cleared and we waited for someone to come to the table with the dessert menu, this never happened, we waited a further 45 minutes before getting them and that was only because my father went to the toilet and asked for them, at this point there was only 2 tables occupied in the resteraunt, ours being one of them...we again had to wait quite a while for the desserts to arrive and when they did we only received 3.....eventually we got the attention of a waitress and said we was short a dessert so she went off and in a short time it arrived only to be served in a cereal bowl and looked like it had just been tossed in and some cream was squirted on top.... Whilst finishing up my wife left a comment on the pubs Facebook page commenting on the poor service ...when we went to the bar to pay the bill we found a couple of the waitresses reading the post and whilst we were paying one of them then started looking through my wife's Facebook page, I know this because I could see a picture of my son and i on her phone..... I find this totally unacceptable and unprofessional... Our overall experience took 2½ hours for 2 courses we didnt even get offered coffee, we wouldn't of had time even if we had time even Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
