    McLaren's was great for my Mum's birthday meal - they accommodated one of our guests who was dairy allergic (although there weren't many options) but service was lovely and the waitresses were kind and attentive. Lovely, lovely outdoor seating where we had a couple of drinks after our meal.

We really hope to welcome you back again soon for a smoother experience from start to finish! Best regards, Luke

    We’ve eaten here before at lunchtime and had a great experience, so we were really looking forward to returning for a special occasion. The location is fantastic and the staff were, as always, warm and attentive. Unfortunately, the quality of the food this time was disappointing, especially given the occasion. It didn’t live up to our previous visit, which was a real letdown. Hoping this was just an off day, as the place has so much potential.

    Hi Pauline, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and for your kind words about the team — it’s lovely to hear that you’ve had great experiences with us before and that our staff made you feel welcome again on this visit. I’m really sorry to hear the food didn’t meet expectations this time, especially when it was for a special occasion. That’s understandably disappointing, and not the level of consistency we aim for. Your feedback is genuinely appreciated and will be shared with the kitchen team so we can make sure it doesn’t happen again. We’d love the chance to welcome you back soon and show you the best of what McLarens has to offer. If there’s anything you’d like to discuss further, feel free to drop me a message at luke.trodden@signaturepubscouk. Thanks
