Reviews of Thrasher
A. L.
Loved the outdoor area and placing your order on line. Fantastic experience and great food. Will definitely be back. Pet friendly and the kids love it. Also very comfortable for adult conversations.
L. N.
This is a brilliant pub and the feeling in here is just so relaxing and stress free it’s great. Especially when you just what somewhere to chill out after a week of work. The food in this here is really lovely and the staff are extremely friendly.
There are televisions in the booths for children to watch while they eat with their families. There are toys (available to buy) and little activities for your children to do while they are at the pub.
However there is only one lady’s lavatory that has a lockable door and they know about this as there is a sign on door.
S. P.
Visited this evening with a table of 9 without booking on a bank holiday weekend, almost expecting not to get a table at 6.30/7 pm however pleasantly surprised when we were seated straight away. We were told to expect a delay of over 50 minutes for food, again this was made completely clear to us by the bar staff and server and we were happy to wait. After some issue with the app when ordering, we managed to punch our orders through, some through the app and some through the bar staff. Again, we were so surprised when our food arrived after a half hour wait, and three separate orders from app and bar orders arrived at the same time. Good food which was hot and delicious and great price / value for money. Staff checked on us during our meal. It was clear the staff had been busy that evening and they were busy serving drinks and doing things all evening.
Very, very impressed with this establishment!! Issue with the toy machine - win a prize every time- was rectified instantly with no attitude from clearly busy staff. We certainly will be visiting again. Thank you everyone who worked this evening. Very happy and impressed with every thing.
c. y.
Food was very tasty. The staff were very friendly and polite and offered to swap peas for baked beans when we asked for no peas. The food was a little slow coming out but it was very busy. Surroundings very light and airy. Overall very enjoyable and will return 😁
t.
Definitely improved from past visits the menu has an abundance of food and offers.they now have a core of staff who know what they are doing one tiny gripe is if your ordering the mixed grill there's no option for how you like your steak done. Other than that I shall keep returning as its great value for money
J. C.
Always love a hungry horse, amazing value and large filling portions whatever one you go too. Thought we'd try the Ipswich branch. Lovely staff, good decor. They had their brand new menu which took some time to get used to but still had popular originals as well as brand new meals.
F. M.
Great value for money, with excellent food, had the burger combo, which came with double cheese burger, chips, steak, corn on cob and chicken wings, had on a Saturday special for £8. I've paid twice the price for a burger that has been no where near as tasty as this one. Well done and worth the 5 stars
T. H.
It's a nice pub, great garden and friendly staff etc but .... food was horrible, stone cold by the time it came to us. Had to go through two dozen sets of cutlery before finding clean ones. Don't be put off coming here as it's still a lovely kid friendly pub and if you get hungry just pop across the road to McDonald's.
A. W.
Absolutely delicious food, lovely friendly staff and very attentive. Clean inside and out.
S. M.
Hit and miss with this place.
Okay food for okay money but your be on for a fair old wait for food and drinks as your drinks have to spend time going flat at the bar.
Fizzy drinks from tap are so watered you may as well just get water.
All in all the food is good but more batter than fish, with the fish and chips.
Amazing fudge cake desert though.
How to improve... Hire more staff, there were 4 behind the bar and 2 it would seem bringing bits out.
C. Y.
Place gets busy so food may take a while to arrive but everything was delicious and well worth the wait . Prices have gone up but still good value. Would recommend if your not in a hurry !
A. S.
Lovely staff and good priced food.
Had to scrape money together to pay as card machine gone down! Had just enough!
w.
Why do people say pet friendly when they can't go in?
Pet friendly means you can take your pet inside, not sit outside with them. You can do that almost anywhere. I could park in a layby with my dog. Does that make it a pet friendly layby? Please stop leaving pet friendly reviews as others will turn up with their dogs expecting to get in. Can't fault the restaurant as there is nothing on their website to say they are, just the reviews. Can't tell you anything about the food as we couldn't eat there.
J. B.
Beer cold and delicious.... service a bit haphazard.... seemed short staffed. Lots of surface cleaning being done. Food was okay... very nice gammon but disappointing chips. But for a fiver I'm not complaining. Would definitely return
D. C.
Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was excellent and was very nice to have clean high chairs for the kids. Will definitely be back 💯👌
N. H.
Have been here before and it was reasonable but tries to book as we were quite a large party. Garbled and incomprehensible answer phone but no call back as promised despite me calling again. Went elsewhere.
Received a reply but it totally ignored my point. I had phoned twice and got answer phone both times but I neither occasion did I receive the promised call back. I appreciate that at busy times they might not be able to answer but they should call back when quieter.
C. B.
Only stopped for a coffee. Seemed a nice pub. Will only give it 2 out of 10 for the mens toilet. Terrible..It says that the toilets are cleaned regularly. I suggest they get a new cleaner.let the place down as far as I'm concerned
N.
lovely staff bar staff polite micheal and cheryl was great and phoebe and josh was great on floor and you could see how they all worked well as a team , the pub a little rough as in decoration but expected as very busy pub, will be back again soon
i. m.
Really enjoyed my meal.. Very large portion well worth the price wich was very reasonable.. Quite busy but food still came out quick and hot.. Very happy with out service
j. h.
My grandson from Spain, son in law, had a very large meal, the other six of us also had good food. Will definitely be back again. Service was pleasant.
D. W.
Just cannot fault it excellent service, the food is delicious and comes out piping hot and at a excellent price. I truly recommend it.Im giving it a well deserve 5 star.
A. S.
Alright bar alright food. The only think letting it down is the Barman who was working the City-Madrid game was utterly useless. My grandad has hearing difficulties so I asked him to turn the speakers on by the projector in the bar. He then said “they should be on”. I then told him they weren’t to which he said “move somewhere else then”. In a packed out bar with barely any seats free this was not an option. It wasn’t just us as well most of the bar near the projector couldn’t hear the sound. He made no effort in resolving the issue and instead just carried on doing what he was doing. I don’t want him to get in trouble just maybe retrain him to deal with customer issues properly and act like he somewhat likes his job.
J. G.
My friends and I went there for breakfast. The food was okay but the bacon is a bit burned. They unfortunately run out of milk that day so we did not enjoy any hot drinks with our english breakfast which we were looking forward to.
P. H.
Went there yesterday 17/5/22 for lunch
Quick to order very helpful at till
Food delivered quickly cheryl Fisher are waitress was very helpful polite
Food was lovely I can recommend the lasagne and sweet potato fries we're yum
All in all great meals
c. s.
Just great when you need food and drink and a welcoming smile
J. H.
Food and service very good but pub needs a lick of paint other than that not bad.
A. M.
Nice cheap pub. Friendly and quick service whilst I waited for my MOT. Will definitely visit again when I have to go again.
M. W.
Good food and good service. Being able to order from the app makes it a bit quicker.
g. m.
Food was good. Liked the ambience, staff was friendly. overall liked it.
L. E.
Really positive experience. Good food. Medium Rare steak was actually cooked ... Medium Rare. Which many other places seem to cook ( under done ) prices were very competitive. And the meal size were good portions.
Staff were helpful and polite.
Overall a very good meal. X
b.
Nice meal, just a shame they ran out of the curry and beef roast. Fish and chips were a good portion as well as the bacon cheeseburger and gammon.
There was quite a big delay in cleaning tables and when they first went over to a table they removed the plates but not the glasses and the drinks left over. Overall a nice place to eat at as the deals for the certain days are good, just a shame they didn't have some of the best parts of the menu for the deal today.
Easy enough just to walk in if there are not too many people but if there is a big group it is better to book as two of the big tables were not cleared. Would recommend to families as it is a nice atmosphere with good prices.
c. c.
Food was lovely, service was really good, only teeny disappointment was, I didn't get butter with my jacket potato, otherwise I was happy
A. A.
Table reserved for 7 cannot fault the food and service, one meal was upgraded with another steak which was missed off the order however this was dealt with quickly and didn’t cause a big issue.
J. B.
Excellent value..food very good sound perfect staff..
A. G.
Excellent hungry horse pub/restaurant. Recommended. Good value and pleasant staff
C. O.
It is alright, space for children to play, lots of food and tons of options, friendly staff, the food is not great and it can be a bit average, but generous portions, I would probably prefer smaller portions and rather more focus on the taste, so I am a bit indifferent. From everything that we had, I think the mixed grill was probably the best choice, most of the people were a bit disappointed with their food, everyone who had the vegetarian burgers were especially disappointed, but I was happy with my mixed grill. So it is a bit mixed reviews all round
A. G.
Ordered on the app, served by friendly waitress. The dark fruit slush is one of the best drinks I've tasted!
t. S.
Food and service was amazing our grandson imagine was great he had a ice cream shop bless him
S. V.
Plenty of space.. Cheap and cheerful hungry horse food
M. J.
Went with family to eat in the garden on a sunny day, food was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful was served by phoebe and George
A. A.
Today we had a meal as a family of 6, 2 adults and 4 kids (age 4,11,12,14)
We were seated quickly and also offered some colouring bits to keep the smallest busy but all the kids joined in haha
There also a little play area which the youngest two were very happy with.
Myself partner and eldest child ordered from the main menu and was given advice to go for one of the offers as my fiance chose gammon which was on special.
Food arrived very quickly and customer service was also very good.
All the food was lovely and up to expectations. Myself and eldest son had a burger, which I was impressed with was very tasty and filling too.
The gammon was a little fatty, as it sometimes is, but flavour was very nice and all the kids were really happy with their nuggets carrot sticks ect.
It took a little while for the table to be cleared ready for desert, but this was no disaster as the kids just went outside to play.
There wasn't a huge choice of dessert, but they have all the basic favourites. All the kids went for ice cream which was great and me and my fiance had millionaire cheesecake which was delicious.
In short it was a really nice meal and a very pleasant experience and a great comfortable place to have a family dinner. Pricing is very fair and it's just good pub food probably one of the better hungry horse places to go.
I would definitely recommend trying this place for an easy family meal.
I would have given 5 stars if the service was a bit faster and all the chips were a little on the dry side, other then the fries which were skinnier as they were nice. The mains were spot on though! And still very pleased.
C. B.
As they are part of the Greene King chain the menus are all the same providing variety, plus there are different meal deals available for each day of the week providing real value for your money. The pub itself is spacious with ample parking and a play area for the kids
F. U.
Really friendly service and very, very reasonable prices. Really nice family friendly environment. Loads of weekday offers and a family of four can eat for £15. Definitely recommend.
d. K.
Had a light lunch with friends. Lovely
N. S.
I've only been here once and it wasn't during a busy period. The service was good and the meal was lovely.
L. T.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
The burger was banging
And the chips were too.
m. w.
Food is so hit and miss. Id personally go in around 2pm when the lunch rush is starting to calm. The last burger I had was so dry I couldn't eat it. Shame really as it used to be a good pub. 3rd meal thats been disappointing. Probably give it a miss from now on
P. R.
Decent food at good prices. Chicken in the new yorker wasn't great - I'm not expecting Michelin star quality, but The Crown at Claydon do it better. Overall happy with our meals though and outside space and kids play area makes the place in the summer.
J. O.
Food was cold and had to wait for half an hour hence not the full five stars
Adding to this review some 5 mths later. Gave this place another try because there are so many poor reviews of their food they must have done something about it, Right? No, it was worse, reheated sausages which couldn't be cut, classic salad swimming in dressing, half a tomato, which included root end, no cucumber. Child's meal the same, sent sausages back only to get the same again, no apology. Took half an hour to get food even though pub almost empty. That's it now we won't return until there is pride in what you are putting out of your kitchen.
V. H.
Great meal and friendly staff highly recommended
S. B.
Love the thrasher great food at a great price lots of outside space too
G. N.
Came to Thrasher yesterday as we do every couple of mths & never had a problem with food till now ,combo sharer was spot on as always ,but 2 of the other meals just weren't edible ! New Yorker chicken had less BBQ sauce than usual
And the chicken felt wet when eating it !
Double southern fried chicken burger Bun was over toasted ,hardly any mayo ,no red onion chicken was wet to eat ,chips were hard & onion rings under cooked just as the new Yorker ,no one asked how the meal was going so I did complain ,still waiting on refund for one meal ...I will come back and give them another chance though

1745 - 1830 Thursday 7th October
An enjoyable experience.
I know it's an odd thing to compliment on but the garlic ciabatta was perfect, not too garlicy, not rock hard, not soggy.
Gawd,! That sounds like the three bears tale.!
I followed by the 12oz steak (yes, I was hungry) cooked exactly how I asked for it.
Hooray,! Real chips, not French fries.
(maybe after brexit we will serve real chips everywhere.!)
I have to throw in a minor criticism, the dinner plate was cold making the food cool down too quickly. (easily remedied).
But.......!!
The ultimate accolade has to be the music, I don't know who picked the tracks, but they have my taste in music.
Thanks to all involved.
I will be back.
Sorry, I couldn't post a picture, I ate it all.!
Edit.
The meal was not a one off.
I returned, and the food was cooked perfectly again.
and the choice of music was good too.!

Great place to have a lunch with your work colleagues
A. A.
Loved it! Great atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff, good food, lovely Christmas decorations. Will definitely go back.
L. B.
Food is average but prices are fantastic
T. G.
Lovely restaurant, staff were super helpful and friendly. Food was delicious and steak cooked to perfection. My only criticism was one of the waitresses coming to collect the other plates while I was still eating, twice. I think that's actually quite rude.
T. S.
Good pub food, Cheap and cheerful.
R. L.
They have improved a lot.
Friendly staff. Big portion of nicely cooked meal. Good value for money.
Look cleaner after the renovation.
B. T.
Extensive menu good prices but maybe avoid the Garlic Bread.

Haven't been here in forever since Covid-19 started. I went with my mum for a daughter and mother meal. It was pretty good for social distancing, staff kept their distance. Some staff were wearing face guards however, the lady that showed us to our table wasn't wearing a mask at all and in all honesty, I thought they would only expect customers that were wearing face masks in come in but, the lady who showed us our table, let a mother and daughter (I'm guessing) come in and they weren't wearing a mask at all and she just let them in! They didn't even book a table beforehand (which I was told was necessary) and the staff member just let them in!! However, the food was great and delicious as usual...
D. O.
The staff could not have been more helpful on our visit here today.
We booked in advance requesting a table near the door as some of our clients have poor mobility as well as learning disabilities. The staff were extremely understanding despite our requests being quite demanding.
Well done girls. You did yourselves proud!
Thank you so much 😊
S. W.
Accommodated us when we had to leave to sort a child out than go back.
My meal arrived without the steak, than steak came not cooked how ordered so got took back and still came back wrong so complained to manager who was unhelpful and just apologised for the mistake saying should have kept sending steak back till it was cooked to my satisfaction.
N. C.
First time i have been back in a few years. The interior has been redesigned for better access and for more roomier table space. The staff are pleasant and serve well being polite, the bars have a full comprehensive range of drinks. Although i never had food this time there is a large menu with lots of choice. It is well worth a visit only if just for a drink.
f.
Nice food, slow service to be honest, was a bit forgotten about, as nobody came over to take our order, polite staff which was good, the overall building could do with a revamp as it's quite dated inside, but overall not bad
C. L.
Nice drinks. Some of the seating areas could do with a spruce up but overall good. Nice selection of Gins.
C. “. L.
Its cheap food, cheap beer, and good vibes
S. W.
The food was great! The children's meals were done so well, the build your own pasta was a great idea. The only downside to the whole experience was service was so slow. One drinking glass the waitress brought was cracked but the queue was too long to wait for another one. There were no spoons anywhere for the children's meals and again, no one available to help. Perhaps it was just a bad time but it was only 5.00pm.
L. J.
Staff are very nice. Prices very reasonable, but food mediocre
You kindly asked what we could do to improve the number of stars. My partner asked for his steak medium, but it came rare. All of our steaks had a lot of fat and gristle. My burger reminded me of the ghastly cheap ones my mother bought when I was a child that put me off eating burgers for nearly 20 years. Food was not hot. However we thought the staff were very helpful, especially with my partner being coeliac. He gets a bit disappointed that he can't eat chips at any of the chain.
Thank you for taking the time to request further feedback.
N. L.
Just had a mega breakfast and as always well priced and better quality than Spoons.
The distancing and anti catch ya covids measures are well thought out with a one way in operation for keeping safe. The place was empty at 10-11am, a great shame considering. Thanks to Sophie our waitress and the rest of the team for a lovely experience 👌😎
R. B.
Good (so far) service and food good. One doesn't go to these popular restaurants for a fine dining experience but then again you are not paying fine dining prices. Would recommend for family get togethers
W. W.
Nice meal. Will visit again.
J. F.
Popped in for dinner tonight as heard about the new vegan options. Was a little worried after reading the Facebook reviews but we were served promptly, staff were friendly and helpful, we didn't have to wait long for food which is a bonus with kids. The food was nice and hot and not overcooked. Great value for money and will definitely come again. The only complaint we had was from my daughter that the outside play area was out of order. I hope this will be fixed soon
I.
It was my first time here in a few years.
The food we had was nice but when ordering, three of us had to change our choices due to them not having certain dishes. Not a huge problem but still a little irritating nonetheless.
Would definitely come again though.
R. B.
Like this pub, food great, staff great, great place to bring the family, couples, party's
D. R.
Popped in for a last minute stop for a bite to eat, excellent service with great food that was served promptly! Felt well looked after abd wouod certainly dine here again!
H. B.
Staff are always friendly and helpful. Always accomodating for people with all types of disabilities. Food is and very affordable, but can be hit and miss depending on what you order. Meat often comes under or overcooked and dietary requirements and simple menu requests (like "sauce on the side" or "no cheese") can be forgotten.
Overall a great family eatery as long as you arent looking for gourmet experience
K. B.
Love the Thrasher! Our go to for a cheap, good quality meal and very family friendly 💜
R. 7.
Service was friendly and the atmosphere is good. We were waiting in line for a while at the bar to order food because only one member of staff was taking orders on a bank holiday Monday evening. That said, from the time we ordered food was served promptly, was well presented and hot. The value for money was amazing. Five of us all had a main meal and the bill came to about £18!!! . There is an outdoor play areas for kids as well. Happy customer.

Great quality, low cost family food A+
P. M.
We used to go regular before we moved house. This was our second occasion eating out since lock down. We sat outside pleasant change. Had fish and chips. Half the stated price. Nice one government.
K. L.
Sat in the garden with friends had an afternoon drink and snacks staff friendly, great atmosphere. Only issue found the app you had to use to order with not the most user friendly quite frustrating at times.
N. “. A.
Place is gorgeous, every Friday they do buy one burger get one free, which is nice, the environment is very pleasing, slightly dark accompanied by the hanging lights. You have to order food yourself, for those who expect a waitress to come around. There are lots of toys and stuff for kids. Food is great, I enjoyed it, nothing to complain, the variety of meals you can choose from I would say it is medium, you will eventually pick something and I say that because I'm always so undecided wherever I go. I really recommend stopping by at least once with your friends or family.
Overall very satisfied
N. (.
Very good with covid restrictions.
Food is well priced and well portioned accept for specifically the big plate chicken kebab.
(which is delicious but is very small for a big plate)
And the salads which is also scarcely portioned.
But you don't go there for the salad. You go there for good portions. Delicious food and going with the family, which this resturant accomodates very well.
There are certain meals i am not a fan of (the sandwiched pizzes in particular)
That just taste like two bad oven pizzas slapped together but thats an outlier.
All desserts are really solid and delicious. The wings are insane as well, cooked perfectly. The other starters are good too but the wings in particular make me go.
In conclusion I highly reccomend this resturant to anyone to go. Though price in most cases decide standard so do not expect a flawless experience, go to miller and carter for that.
Also the daily deals are a huge positive for me.
S. R.
Quick easy meal, great offers on the menu. Two adults, 2 mains, 3 drinks, £14.0, I thought this very good value.
N. L. T.
Had the cajun burger. Very tasty. Good for an extremely cheap, filling meal. Friendly and efficient staff. Excellent 'pit stop' restaurant
E. G.
Great location and service. Also accepts Tesco vouchers! Highly recommend
s. c.
Staff are all Covid safe and provide excellent service. Definitely a pleasant pub worth visiting! Terry the manager was very welcoming and went over all the ruse with us he made us feel at home just with a marks on thanks for a great night
J. N.
Food was reasonable. Not terrible but not great. A sizzler should sizzle but I didn't hear a murmur from mine. Peppers, I'm sure, were frozen as they had no flavour. Beef was a little over done. Chips, mushrooms and onions rings were good.
S. T.
Lovely place, huge range of food and drink and very competitive prices. Been twice within a week and will be back when its open again. (Side note - this place is strictly following current covid regulations and I felt very safe here)
R. C.
Service was good, food was great, no complaints.
C. E.
I had a family wake booked here yesterday and I must say I was very impressed. When we arrived the private seating area was clean and ready and the buffet of hot and cold food was really good. The staff were friendly and couldn't have been more helpful but not intrusive. Would definitely recommend the thrasher to anyone looking for the same occasion. Brilliant service all round.
S. B. (.
Hmm. Staff were helpful, things were clean but the food was over cooked and we saw many many people complaining about their meals and sending plates back. Not the best, but not my choice to go, my mum's treat to me so i can't really complain.
J. W.
Have just been for lunch here today 11/11/17 whilst visiting my parents and I must say that since my last visit about y months ago the place has totally turned around.
All the staff are extremely friendly and polite and the atmosphere was lovely and not too loud.
The food was excellent although we had one item over cooked this was immediately rectified by the staff.
All I can say is 1st class service and food. Well done
j. t.
This is a local pub/place to eat for my partner and me. Staff are always very friendly. With our son having allergies Staff are always accomodating in providing us with any information needed. Food and drinks are reaosnably priced, and wait times have never been bad. I think the longest we have ever waited is about 30 minutes, which some would consider normal. They have plenty of little toys and books to keep the kids enterained whilst you are waiting for you food. Would recommend to anyone wanting a drink or bite to eat in a place that is family friendly.
J. S.
Well it's safe to say the Thrasher had a nightmare on Saturday 19th of Jan.
Me my partner and my child arrived at about 6pm we was luck to get a table as a family of 4 were just leaving as we arrived. We managed to place our order with no queue at the bar at about 6.30.
40 minutes had passed and some of the other customers were beginning to get a little restless as to where there food was, we still sat patiently up until about 7.40 so an 1.10 after we ordered. This time going up to the bar the queue was huge with numerous people complaining and getting refunded their money. The bar staff had only just been told that they had ran out of chips. So approximately an hour and 15 minutes after taking my order along side everyone that came in after me the kitchen staff only just realised that they had no chips.....
After receiving a refund from the front of house we were told that someone had gone to pick some chips up. I spoke to one of the waitresses who told me the chips won't be long if we would like to wait the food will be out shortly. So we waited another half an hour then Lowe and behold our food arrived. Now at this point I was just happy to have some food Infront of me because I was very tempted to leave numerous times but sat tight.
Unfortunately for the Thrasher the food was still dreadful. With cold chips, dry pasta, burnt burgers, burnt rolls, over cooked steak to be honest the list goes on and on.
I have to be honest that the front of house staff which the only name I managed to get was Micheal who was in the bar, the two young ladies waitressing and I believe a manager who was also serving on the bar. Well done to you for managing a very tough evening. All customers that left because the kitchen mess up I'm sure will say the same as I am that you all kept your cool and held great hospitality, all were very apologetic and waited to our needs as best they could.
I will return here with my family because 9/10 times it's great value for money and a nice environment.
I trust that the kitchen staff will be spoken to about the absolute catastrophic evening they had. A lot more attention to standards is needed and I feel a lot of customers will agree with me on that. Bad evening for the kitchen!!!
P. S.
It's a good place for family's,food was good apart from having a gammon steak meal there was not any pineapple to go with the gammon,which I prefer over eggs

Nice beer garden in the sunny weather

The best Hungry Horse in Suffolk. The staff are very helpful and friendly, the food is generally very good value and cooked well. I come here often and on the odd occasion of any issues (when very busy or shirt staffed..) the staff resolve it swiftly. Our favourite place for a quick family bite.
J. S.
Great pub, great staff

Went again the 2nd time a week later took the inlaws mother is the "Lady of Durness" normally hard to please. She approved of the food and service. She said that the sausage from the full English breakfast was one of the best she has ever had. Will be returning again soon. Might even make it a weekly Thursday treat.
S. K.
Its a nice Hungry Horse to sit in but you have to question some of the food. The steak was lovely, the chicken was atrocious, the kids hotdog meal was a sausage, not a hot dog, in a roll! (Parents will understand the catastrophic difference of this). Its not as good value as it once was but still, its not an unpleasant place to be.
c.
Easy parking, nice American style decor, separate sports /drinking bar. Great prices on food, but the quality not always up to scratch. Drinks reasonably priced, and a good choice. The place goes dead after 9.00pm, so don't expect party atmosphere anytime.
N. B.
Was here for a 60th birthday for family was good food good price, a little slow clearing plates after dessert had come but its a hard thing to do minimal staff and basically full service
S.
2 x small mixed grills and 8oz rump steak, chips, peas, grilled tomato and onion rings. This was the best meal our party have had at The Hungry Horse. My steak was mouth-wateringly tender. Cooked to perfection. Tomatoes were not those horrible hard steak tomatoes, more like a vine tomato and cooked to perfection. I asked if they had changed the chef but apparently the chef that cooked our meals has been working there for 15 years. I don't think he's ever cooked for us cos his food was delicious. His wife is a waitress there. This chef can cook! Give him a pay rise...it's the chefs that make a food establishment. Well done!
R. P.
Service good, food very good, staff very good but I noticed table we sat at was a bit sticky ?? Other words not cleaned properly
J. “. G.
Your good ol' family munch station, not top of the range, but then not a dive, still have to take a meal back because it's not right, this time it was a severely burnt burger bun. But we were reimbursed. This doesn't put me off as it's the best place for the kids out of all the places around here. I like the Thrasher, a good dependable pub.
C. L.
Pretty good refurb. Went in on a Tuesday afternoon and the place was dead. Good service and food choices are extensive. Have a pretty impressive ice cream bar. Deals on every day. Had 2 'big plates' for £6 a peice and 2 pints, came to just over £20. Not bad at all.
c. r.
It's good for a pub chain. Service is friendly and quick. Food is OK for the price and the place is clean. Good pint of Guiness!
Z. M.
Food is good for a local chain pub! Many different choices - good portion sizes. Fairly priced - the app ordering system works brilliant once you get used to it.
M. W.
I came and had a meal here with my wife and my son.
The staff were friendly - it was the a busy bank holiday but all the food came and was served well.
The menu was a typical "Greene King" Hungry Horse menu - but there were specials which were good value for money.
For a special meal out with the family - well worth it.
M. S.
Food was excellent and service was quick
m. 1.
Came here Saturday for the 2 courses for £8. No issues with my meal (porky platter) however partners burger was dry and bland and came in a stale bun.
Staff were fantastic and offered an immediate exchange. Staff were polite friendly and attentive however just let down by overcooked food and low quality ingredients
S. H.
Perfect food, great staff and very clean throughout. First class
M. W.
Food very nice I had jumbo cod and chip wife had chicken club sandwich and a bowl of chips. Service was very well organised and on top of cleaning etc. Thanks for a nice meal well done to all staff involved
J. B.
Yummy food with excellent staff. Very kind and understanding staff. Particularly Michael who was friendly to my little boy, found him some crayons and quickly got more custard when my little boy stole all of mine
D. M.
Nice place to eat, staff are friendly and the price is cheap. Food wasn't that great though.
I. W.
Went for lunch, not overly busy. One order came with wrong topping on fries, fish batter, while edible, was obviously cooked in fat that was too hot as very 'crispy' and very brown. Peas were cold. There were no onion rings on another order. That left one order out of 5 that was served completely correct and hot.
Waitress addressed one diner as 'mate' as served food which is not really acceptable. No one checked back during meal to see if everything ok.
Overall, was ok'ish experience, food was edible even though things were not necessarily correct.
a. h.
Great pub/ restaurant. Really lovely food. The staff are very freindly and helpful.
The place is massive and the attention to detail on the decor and the festive decorations is brilliant.
They have a festive snow scene in a large display cabinet at the minute and my two kids loved playing find the hidden starwars characters. Well done guys for making a lovely place.
HAPPY NEW YEAR...
J. S.
Regular Greene King service however outside really needs attention after peak business times. Have popped into the beer garden twice this month and seagulls are left to clear up the plates, general food waste not cleaned etc.
m. c.
Great food, great value and great service. What more could you want. Used app to order and had drinks at table within a couple of minutes.
L. M.
Good value just a little slow with food but staff were busy. Would still recommend.
a. s.
Went Saturday afternoon not the best food chicken don’t look like it was cooked 100%cold chips they was8 not one finished they meals we ware still eating the 1st starter when they bought out the main meal-which is so bad
I. F.
Unwelcoming staff took ages to get to grips with their ordering app. Food once it arrived was well presented and plentiful
C. P.
First visit and very much enjoyed. Food was presented well and tasted great. Venue was clean and inviting. Staff friendly despite being quite busy.
P. H.
Pretty good, garden is big which is nice, it's close to the road so expect to hear noisy traffic. Food is cheaply priced and consistent and the menu is really nice and big so caters well for all.
N. S.
Great food and great service and excellent staff thanks
T. R.
Good food service. Bar a bit delayed in serving. Luckily wasnt put off by dirty nappy under our table we reserved which was removed by staff when we ordered food. Think toilets need checking a bit more regularly. Would go again. Food unfaultable.
M. H.
Food ok. Cheap and cheerful as you'd expect. Staff friendly enough. Tables a bit sticky and could do with soap & water instead of sprays, but otherwise fine for the price range.
P. W.
A great Christmas meal,table all decorated, could not fault the food .
N. A.
Waited about 35 minutes for our lunchtime meal. However when it arrived it was very nice, excellent value for money and there was lots of choice. Will definitely be back.
R. T.
Good food, at a cheap price, out door play area suitable for children in the age of 3 to 6. Not very big though.
Very polite staff, all friendly and kind.
K. T.
Coffee not good
table needed cleaning
Food and service good
r. G.
The food was incredible!
Staff were so nice and made my stay so incredibly happy.
A. M.
Impressed at the efforts made to make it comfortable and clean for the family. Slightly let down by the microwaved meal and toilets but still a good tea for the price
A. G.
We came from London on weekend break. And l am very critical of places l go.
I cannot fault this restaurant in anyway.
Staff were very nice. Food was excellent 10/10 for food and service
R. B.
The food we ordered arrived and was hot and appreciated. All was well cooked and satisfying. Won't hesitate to go back again.
K. G.
Ok so it took 20 mins of queing just to order drinks and food, if we hadn't of met friends there we would of left. When the good arrived it was only a 10 min wait and was a lovely meal. Staff friendly just a shame about the wait!
S.
Enjoyed a lovely breakfast, been a while, and staff were helpful 👍
J. M.
A really nice place for kids, but the staff are really slow when you are finished but are more than happy to sell you more drinks as soon as possible.
D. S.
The food and service was excellent
G. C.
Comfortable, good value and very friendly staff!
K. B.

r. b.
Food took ages to come out. Average
S. H.
Food was ok but very slow to come out. There were 6 of us and when it did come out it came out a couple of meals at a time, had to wait 5 mins for others at table to get their meals.
E. C.
Nicely staffs and family’s place!
D. N.
Average food, but definitly well priced. Service was good.

Great summer pub and restaurant 20€ for 2 big meals 2 lagers and desert sound like bergain. Massive garden to enjoy sunny weather and cold refreshing beers ;)
c. d.
Went in September 2020 during covid social distance, was well cleaned and explained how they work now, you can order via a app to your table so u have very min contact with people, food was tasty and very well portioned, is deff worth a trip to for family or date night or just on way home from work for a brew, would recommend
A. G.
Been in a few times recently for just a drink and food and drinks. Quick friendly service at all times. If any problems with the food or drink staff are always willing to help. Always busy as a popular place. Would definately recommend the thrasher.
L. J.
Was a lovely time here for my man's birthday meal 😁 will definitely book again
R.
Great staff, great food. Very American-diner kind of vibe. Family friendly, also welcoming to friends/couples. Would go again.
t. p.
Food good. But did not inform us to.order at.bar.so we waited.for someone to take our.order for 20 minutes before we sussed it out
D. B.
Good location and nice. A good place where our child can play on carpet with the toys provided.
The food taste and quality is average.
C. F.
Very nice place, foods cheap and family friendly, only thing is last few times we've ordered ice cream it's taking 25 mins to come with no explanation, over all good though 😁
N. F.
You can't beat a meal here for good value and a decent portion size. The staff are always friendly and it's nice and clean too.
L. G.
Lovely food great service. Highly recommend.
R. F.
Foood prices with 50 percent off was very good , quality of food very poor ,my food was cold and toast was burnt and scrapped off , my friends food was missing onion rings and was given half a rasher of bacon very poor service when told of missing item was told they had run out and that was that .
R. A.
Great food. Great pub. We always come here at least once a week on average as our local it's in walking distance and on the public transport route.
We enjoy a drink and food every visit. The downfall is there is now no LOCAL cider. They took Aspalls off the tap last Feb and have now stopped selling it in the bottle. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN U GREENE KING!!!
I don't expect Aspall to b on tap but at least buy it in so we could enjoy a quality local cider! I'd give u 5 stars otherwise.
K. S.
Service was good and the value is always good, big plate chicken kebab was a bit bland
P. K.
We went for breakfast about midday and were served a delicious meal by attentive but not overbearing staff. Very good place to go for a reasonably priced meal of good quality
A. W.
Reasonable food. Lovely atmosphere for kids. Our waiter did however take some plates away before we had all finished.
S. F.
Tonight was steak Monday, so we had a 8 oz rump and trimmings for £5.00. It was very nice, would recommend a visit.
R. F.
Not happy at all reverse a table turned up and they didn't have a table ready when we did get a table it was dirty it even had a I'm clean notice on it won't be going back in a hurry
J. B.
buy one get one free brekfast this month.
Lovely big plate special, could have been a bit warmer but not complaining.

J. D.
Food was good for the price, we went on a Thursday evening and, whilst the staff were laid back and up for a laugh, you definitely got the impression they didn't really care as they left tables dirty.
K. D.
Great food. Bombay burger was amazing. Great prices with different offers everyday.
J. M.
Lovely an quiet although it was very busy wasn't overpowering music or kids screaming etc although definitely child friendly with outside play area an definitely room to move between tables with buggies or for disabled diners, lovely friendly staff to , didn't wait long for food probably 20 min maximum
J. G.
It was very quiet when we went so didn't have to wait long for our meal, the fish and chips I had were very nice and came out hot as well .
E. C.
Great place, just shame about the busy road on it's door step. Maybe if decent cars drove about instead of Clare covered in fake tan in her Ford KA (FYI Clare is a made up person)
N. M.
My waitress phoebe was really nice, also very informative
a. l.
Very friendly atmosphere, service and food was good.
J. B.
Cheap food with not too long a wait. Great for dining with kids. Not so great on the desserts at the moment
D. O.
Very clean, one way system throughout
Food was hot and delicious
C. W.
Not bad food the price you pay. 2 burger and chips for £5+ on a Friday and I think they tasted as good as Byron burger.
R. S.
Generally good service and food, nothing amazing but cater for families and parties. They have an over 18's area and large restaurant as well as having a cask mark so the drinks are good too.
R. P.
It was ok disappointed with food and service staff left parasol poles on the ground 2 people caught their feet on even a young waitress she pushed it along out of the way and seagulls are a problem to dive bombing on tables to get food as it wasn't cleared away ....very sloppy
S. W.
Great range and choices for dinners with lovely ice creams. Price is very reasonable service is prompt. No question we will be back.
K. D.
Foods cheap,drinks are cheap and it's ok. Very busy the staff do there best and there great but not enough of them there so stretched running round but the ones that are there are more then accommodating.
d. s.
Good service staff great meal great we'll happy
S. 5.
Nice pub, good food family friendly. Good value for money. A playground for children outside and good selection of toys and colouring inside. Good weekly deals.
R. H.
We had a very nice meal and the staff were very nice
S. H.
Great for kids, quick service with separate bar area. A little run down in some areas. But a good cheap family meal.
S. H.
Always lovely food here. Friendly staff. Only lost a star due to all the cutlery in our bucket looked murky and a bit grim. Maybe time for a refresh!
P. L.
Food was good but took a very long time to arrive....would visit again but would be prepared for the potential wait.
J. P.
Very good food but due to covid service was not so good as trying to pay took 20 minutes
D. P.
Food was quick and tasty but nothing outstanding. You get what you pay for.
M. C.
Service was quick food was good, only down side I felt sorry for the one lady clearing table's she was so behind, we still had our main plates on the table when a different
member of staff bought out our desserts are just put them shown and walled off leaving the empty plates we had to ask at the bar to have our table cleared
S. C.
Had a great time food was lovely
M. M.
Good food at a great price can't beat them
S. M.
We were very happy with the food and the very nice staff who were very helpful.
L. S.
Great value food however there tends to be something on the menu that isn't available. On our last visit they had no gas meaning steaks, burgers, chips, grills
L. L.
Lovely food, nice staff, quick service and reasonably priced too. I left feeling fat and happy 😁😂
M. Q.
Slow service and a lot of food on the menu wasn't available. Tables aren't the cleanest either but staff are friendly, food is cheap and there's a good choice of drinks.
Typical hungry horse, good value for money.
D. B.
Lovely food, friendly staff and filling portions. Only downfall was the children's play area was broken so not in use.
F. T.
Good food and drink at excellent prices with friendly staff. Hardly worth cooking at home!
a. h.
Liked it before they changed into a family venue without any thought for just couples queuing for food nightmare because of the need for family choices used to enjoy the atmosphere but find it unruly
J. M.
Had scampi and chips bloody lovely. Very short of staff though. But we had good service well done
C. J.
Phoebe our waitress was helpful and friendly
S. N.
A quantity over quality sort of place. Food ok. Good size outside space with a nice playground for kids. Occasionally have live music outside.
M. R.
It was cheap and cheerful.food good.

Getting a little tired on fabrication. Food std not great, not organised, staff with no clue on correct cutlery (no steak knife on poor steak, and tea spoons on TALL sundae glasses???) Wont rush to revisit
E. H.
Food is good, staff are usually very friendly. And the pub has a nice atmosphere. Good for kids.
h. f.
Good breakfast very nice , good staff, friendly service, a good value for money,
Z. J.
Average place, good food, really tasty. The uncomfortable thing is that you need to queue for order anything, they do not take order at tables.
J. T.
Sticky tables and rubbish under the table. Ordered 3 meals which were repeated back to me at the till, after a 40 minute wait only 2 turned up, queried at the till and the person serving had only put 2 through, wasn't about to wait another half an hour for it to be cooked.
M. A. M.
excellent restaurant, great food, great staff and a very nice place to visit. it can be busy so would be worth booking a reservation before you go.
R. C.
Staff friendly polite food good value for money and tasty.place clean and tidy but not sure what tables cleaned with as feel sticky.

Food OK but needs refurbishing as tired looking and seats ripped.
J. S.
Don't judge by the outside. Staff were friendly, food good. The price very reasonable
D. G.
Tasty and quick service. Hardly swanky but that's not what you go to this type of place for.
F. S.
Not as good as it once was. Not the ideal place; but for a quick meal it has a varied menu, value for money.
T. M. (. l.

Popped in purely for a drink while I waited for the bus. As a single woman alone I felt a little uncomfortable and the barmaid was obnoxious but all in all it was a lovely pub.

Been a couple of times, just the 2nd time the service was a little slow and food ordered straight after friends yet we had to wait longer though they asked if we are dinning together

Considering its cheap the food is always decent. It's clean and welcoming with friendly staff.
C. M.
Cheap and cheerful, to be fair the food is pretty good considering I went with fairly low expectations. Good for watching sport and has good parking facilities.

Couldn't fault today all was really good steak cooked to the way I love it happy that I swapped my sides and very good price 👍
