Reviews of The Willow

D. G.

Went with the worlds biggest complainer, I jest ye not, she could find no fault, food was perfect, service excellent, will definately be going back and would reccomend. The fish and chips were very good and a great amount. Beer was poured properly. We will be returning. Thanks for looking after us.

Veggie roast dinner on Sunday was spot on. They have separate veggie gravy and the nut roast wih goats cheese is so yummy. Great Yorkshire puddings too

H. R.

Pretty good pub. Not expensive. Nice seating environment in the lounge. Front bar very busy especially on weekends

Friendly and helpful bar staff. Food was far below par. Chicken sizzler was tasteless. Scampi needed to be more on the plate. Table ordering was very slow.

Great Sunday carvery and great live bands on a Saturday night. Staff are friendly and is a very welcoming pub with the locals

We have not been here for a while but thought we would try again as its in walking distance. The bar staff as always are exceptionally friendly and so very helpful. We ordered 2 16oz rump steaks with an egg topper, at a cost of nearly £18 each we were expecting something rather special. My other half had to send his steak back as it looked more like it had been boiled than cooked on a grill and the fried eggs had more of an appearance of scrambled than fried. The steaks were ordered medium rare and to be fair were cooked as that, but had very little taste. I had 3 out of about 6 onion rings that were just batter, no onion in sight, so did my other half. We were both very disappointed as the last time we had a steak here it was on a surf n turf from the previous menu and was absolutely beautiful. We won't be having steak here again as personally I think it's very over priced for a pub meal of this quality. May try the rotisserie chicken as at under £10 is less of a gamble. It would have been nice to see an 8oz rump option on the menu at a cheaper price instead of an expensive 16oz. The pub itself has a really friendly atmosphere and like I stated earlier fantastic bar staff, who are the reason I didn't give this review 1 star. I feel quite bad for leaving such a negative review but I guess if the management aren't aware of issues then they can't be expected to put them right.

J. W.

This is the first time we have been since the new owners have taken over. We had 3 lovely meals and I mean they were lovely & well presented + big portions and all freshly cooked. Staff lovely & friendly 😊look forward to trying there Sunday carvery as well.

T. B.

Had the best salad I have ever had. So much meat. Can't wait to go back.

E. E.

About time a proper landlord got hold of this fine thurmaston establishment. The pub is in good hands now, I'll be changing my review to 5 stars once I have had their Sunday lunch if it's as good as what I've been hearing. Watch this place become a local gem.

A. P.

The willow is my local pub I love going here to have a drink and some food. The people are friendly and the pub is very cosy. You have a variety of food to pick from the menu and a great selection of drinks. Definitely recommend this pub.

Coming back to where it used to be. The band.. Beats Workin' played it..good night about half full. The pub didn't put our posters up. And nothing on FB or there web page... It was a very good night, we are back in October but it's early days for them yet. They need to up there game and promote the Bands they have on. Good pub. Good crowd.

(Translated) The Pub makes Carvery its strong point, but the rest of the kitchen is not bad either, absolutely to try the Mexican Chicken and the Cheese Burger. First the selection of local beers, including the Tiger in honor of the local Rugby team. (Original) Il Pub fa del Carvery il suo punto di forza, ma anche il resto della cucina non è niente male, assolutamente da provare il Mexican Chicken ed il Cheese Burger. Prima anche la selezione delle birre locali, tra le quali la Tiger in onore alla squadra di Rugby locale.
