It’s an average pub, food is ok, overpriced for what it is. It’s billed as a gastro pub so I was expecting something superior to what’s offered. But it’s a perfectly nice place to go if your local. Not particularly a destination pub.

We were really disappointed with our meals at The Stamford. The roasts were cold when served, Yorkshire puddings dry and the service wasn't great, we had to keep asking at the bar for a waitress. Considering it was Easter Sunday, it wasn't even busy, as we could understand if they were stretched! Unfortunately, due to this we won't be returning any time soon. We have been a couple of times before and food was delicious, so it was very unfortunate.

The restaurant was very lots of children running around screaming and at one point even kicking a football up snd down the raised part of the restsurant. The restaurant was do noisey it was impossible to have a relaxing meal or a conversation without shouting. The food was average, was hot land arge portion sizes. Knives were so blunt it was impossible to cut the food on the place Overall experience over priced, it was like eating a meal in a school playground....wont be going back

The menu is not extensive, but the food was OK. Service was friendly and prompt, but we felt rushed from the moment we sat down. Unfortunately the loud base music from the pub, combined with the music in the restaurant made it impossible to have a conversation across the table. Definitely won't be going back.

Food was ace as usual but sadly service wasn’t up to your usual standards x I think our server was a bit like a fish out of water and maybe felt a bit over worked? Not sure but he was a bit grumpy, got orders wrong, was uncommunicative and hard to get hold of! Hopefully he’ll settle in more soon

Booked a table for dinner last night, was absolutely lovely. The lady who served us was so nice, she was amazing at her job. The food was delicious, the drinks were nice, and the price was good! The fact that dogs are also allowed made our night even better, loved seeing doggos everywhere. Overall a great evening, will be coming again!

To be fair the fish and chips option was good. Fish was fresh. BUT The ham on the menu was tough; couldn't eat it, so didn't eat it. White wine grossly overpriced at £10.50 (i.e.£30+ per bottle). A bottle in a local supermarket priced it at £18 approx. Luckily we were not in the bar area which was like a disco. Staff seemed to be working hard, but the limited menu won't see us returning any time soon. Also the automatic service charge is not welcome. We always tip, usually more that the service charge amount depending on food and service.

Sunday lunch booked , arrived and a table off about 6 totally spoilt the experience . They were singing football songs , chanting , clapping , stamping , having shots - not in the bar - in the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon . Asked for table to be moved and no other tables available . Staff laughing about the chanting and singing . I don’t know why they were not told to move to the bar area where this is completely acceptable as opposed to a restaurant for Sunday lunch . Very disappointed.
