Great food, really tasty burgers and hot dogs. Attentive staff. The pub area is busy but this has no impact on the dining area. Seating in booths is far too cramped for 4 and prices are a tad steeper than you'd expect for the menu and the setting.
The RavenResponded on June 17, 2025
Thanks for the feedback, Gavin. We appreciate your comments on the food and service. We'll take note of your concerns about seating and pricing. Hope to see you again soon. Cheers, Team Raven

The RavenResponded on March 21, 2025
Hi there, We are glad you enjoyed your visit with us, the atmosphere can get pretty electric when Scotland are playing that is for sure! Why not give us a try during the week next time when the volume might be a step lower! We have our new pub quiz every Monday at 7pm for example! Thanks again, Raven Management

Staff were fab and really accommodating when we needed to make changes to our booking. Food was delicious but some of the starters felt a little expensive for what we got. It wouldn’t stop us going back though - everything we got was delicious. We just would make different choices next time.
The RavenResponded on February 27, 2025
Emily, we are so pleased you enjoyed your visit to The Raven! We are sorry to hear about your experience with the starter prices but we are glad to hear this hasn't put you off from coming back! We're happy to hear you had such a positive experience with our team! We really hope to see you again soon! Thank you, and have a fantastic day, Raven Management

Absolutely amazing food!! We really weren't expecting what we got. Very impressed. Drinks were also great! We went on a rugby match day, so it was busy, but the atmosphere was chilled and relaxed. Service was maybe just a little slow, but again, game day, so understandable. Staff were great, friendly, and helpful. The only thing that was off-putting was when the bill came, and they had added "10% service charge" (not optional). 1) this isn't America, and 2) had they not taken the liberty of adding the charge, we probably would've given a bigger tip than they added.
The RavenResponded on February 6, 2025
A, we are so happy to read such a great review about The Raven! We are very glad to hear you had such a positive experience with our food! We apologise for any slow service, we were completely swept off our feet for the game! we appreciate your understanding on this front and that you had such a good experience with our staff! With regards to the 10% service charge, this is optional, we do apologise if this wasn't communicated clearly. We do hope this doesn't stop you from coming back in the future! Thank you again for the great review! Kind Regards, The Raven Management

Booked darts at the Raven. We all had great fun. The darts have a nice seating area and lots of games to play so you don't need to be that good a player. Staff were also friendly. We'll definitely be back.

Andrew, thank you so much for the 5 star review! We are delighted you had a great time and look forward to seeing you again soon. Cheers, Raven Management
