   Easter Sunday lunch. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us smile – they all looked fantastic wearing Easter bunny ears, which added a fun vibe to our visit. The service was quick and attentive, and the food was absolutely exceptional. Whether you're a meat lover or vegetarian, there's something delicious for everyone on the menu. Every dish we tried was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The atmosphere had a really lovely vibe – relaxed yet vibrant – making it the perfect spot for a laid-back meal with friends or family. Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

   Absolutely Brilliant night of top quality food and drinks! We go Embers quite a lot and we couldn't fault anything at all with the Four Pears

   It was a mixed bag of good and not-so-good. Vegan options are almost non-existent. The vegetarian burger was, at best, average. My steak and chips were excellent. Service, despite it being a quiet evening, was slow.

   On main courses, we have four options for vegetarians, two of which are vegan. The Whole Roasted Aubergine with White Miso Glaze or Crown Prince Squash with Whipped Butter Bean. Both are really beautiful dishes that we've had great feedback on. I quite agree that the Beyond Burger is our least interesting vegetarian main. Other than our Gelato that we source from Rocky's, Beyond Burgers are the ONLY food we buy in frozen. I'm confused as none of your party ordered anything vegan? I spoke to my head chef tonight on service times. I can see you were seated at 18:22 and your food order was inputted at 18:37. 15 minutes? You'd have had drinks and time to look at the menu. Your starter was with you 5 minutes after that. That all seems normal. I'm sorry if you felt it was a bad experience.

   I am so truly disappointed with our experience when 4 of us dined at the Four Pears for Mothering Sunday. The service was amazing I cannot fault that, the ladies who served us were second to none. Starters amazing, it was just unfortunate when the main arrived. 3 of us had the trio roast, and 1 the slow roasted lamb. Unfortunately the lamb arrived and it was pure gristle and fat. We couldn’t even cut through it we had to request steak knives. 3 of us ate the other meat with our roast, (beef and chicken) but my Mother only had the lamb, and it was truly inedible, we spoke to the waitress who kindly spoke to the kitchen, we were then greeted by an elder lady who advised “the chef is happy with the meat so there is nothing we are prepared to do about it” to which we replied how disappointed we were, so we asked for only the lamb dish to be taken off the bill, she then went back to the kitchen to come back and advise us “the chef is happy he isn’t prepared to take this off the bill” then the family behind us also said to the lady that her lamb was inedible and showed her plate, again she was told “the chef is happy with the dish” I then requested to speak with him to show him the lamb to which I was refused, so I requested his details to which she reeled them off to me, so I had to ask for them to be written down. I cannot believe how a chef will not take constructive criticism about the food being served. Also the multiple people who were asking for steak knives when being served this particular meat and dish, kind of proves to me there was an issue with the lamb. It was only last week I ate at a Michelin star restaurant and the chefs were asking for our feedback constantly. Which is obviously how they have got to where they are, as they are happy to take criticism and feedback! Shocked and dissatisfied is an understatement!

   Hi Kayleigh. firstly, we're sorry. I wanted to let you we did take the feedback on the lamb on board. Though the chefs were happy with it, they did appreciate that it might not be to the taste of a wider audience as it was medium rare. They did course correct, following your feedback and that of the table next to you. I hope that you can also understand that on Mother's Day, our busiest Sunday service of the year, it wasn't possible for our chefs to leave the kitchen. I can appreciate that added to the frustration.

   Took my dad and step mum for a mother's day dinner at the weekend. First time at the Four Pears and it did not disappoint! The food was beautiful, one of the best fillet steaks I have eaten . The pub was very busy and we waited just over an hour for our starters but, we really didn't mind as it was a nice chilled atmosphere and our waitress was so, so lovely. They couldn't apologise enough on the wait , we had just ordered a bottle of Provence rose and they insisted on it being on the house for the delay. Never had that before at a venue, usually you get a glass of wine, not a £35 bottle! As mentioned above our waitress ( long blonde hair beautiful girl) and the rest of the staff were brilliant. Cannot stand to have bad service somewhere , it really can impact the whole experience. The only thing I would say as feedback is the cocktails were not up to scratch. The cosmo wasn't sharp and strong it was very sweet but again, they were more than happy to swap it for me! We are booked to come back over easter which speaks volumes. Thanks! :-)

   4 of us were seated at a large round table more suited to a party of 6-8. It was set for 5 and we had to ask to have the additional place setting removed. There is little in the way of ambience- it's just a rectangular room with tables plonked in it. It needs different sections or to be rearranged to get a better feel. I like some large airy dining spaces - but this doesn't capture that mood either. The the burrito starter was just the cheese in chunks of tomato floating in a balsamic puddle, and one member of the party had steak tartar served on something hot. The salmon starter was good and the carrot tart was large- the party member who had that didn't finish it and I'm not sure what she thought of it really. Overall, not a bad evening out, but not exceptional.

   Thank you for taking the time to review. The creamy Burrata salad with the Isle of Wight tomatoes with a PX sherry balsamic? Yes, the presentation is simple but the flavours are beautiful. Steak tartare served on a potato terrine/hash brown is a not uncommon way to present the dish, it adds texture and a bit of wow factor. The Carrot Tart Tatin is a generous portion. I'm not sure why you are so keen to put a negative spin on her not finishing? Everyone is entitled to an opinion and I'm sorry we didn't wow you. I understand that you said to a member of our team that 'she gets paid well enough to deal with this' when she was trying to look after you and your guest. Perhaps you didn't mean to come over as unkindly as you did. But we prefer to serve those that show our team respect.

    Celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Four Pears, warmly greeted by the staff and received impecable service. The food was delicious from start to finish with generous size portions. A lovely end to our special day. Looking forward to going back again.
