Used to come a lot, but had one little "bad experience" and left it for a little while. Friends wanted to try it so went on a sunday. Only one of us wanted a roast (it was a hot day) and he licked his plate clean (pork - not him, the meat of choice!). There was a burger which was devoured, a salmon and salad dish which looked superb but required a flavour to the salad dressing other than oil, and the veggie option for me was the Gnocchi, which had a really deep, tasty sauce. The outside setting as always is lovely and the service is very friendly and all smiles. Tables weren't cleared as quickly as we would like but this is a very minor complaint as regulars would keep staff talking and with outside and inside needing constant attention, it is hard to perfect. Desserts and starters were had too - I found the veggie options a little restricted with them both being cheese based, and I would never opt for a hot soup on a hot day, but all food was great tasting and we will return for sure.

We celebrated my wife's birthday with Sunday Lunch at the Grandison. Our daughter and her family joined us. The setting was great, the service was excellent and the food was wonderful. Many thanks to all the staff for making this a special day. The chef even wrote happy birthday in chocolate on my wife's desert plate and made custard specially for me.

We are always well looked after and really enjoy the experience at the Grandison. Despite the pub being very busy with a large party in the gardens we did not have to wait for service at any time. Sadly some of the dishes had run out but we still had a very enjoyable meal. The staff, as always, are excellent and could not be more attentive. The only problem is that because it is so successful it is often really busy and sometimes a quieter meal would be nice!

My friend and I made the mistake of booking on Fathers Day which we had not realised and ended up having to ask to be moved to another table as we would have had been disturbed by adult baby talk from the next table by parent and their small infant. As it was when we were reseated we were subjected to loud voices by older children trying to out perform each other. This pub does sometimes suffer from this as the tables are quite close to each other and sometimes has largish groups arrive for occasions. However the food and friendliness of staff is generally very good and we visit quite often and will go back again. On this occasion my friends Roast Beef, she thought, had been reheated in a microwave and was not up to the standard she expects. When the sun is out the garden is a great place to sit. In conclusion I would reccommend but possibly do not expect a nice quiet time.

The food was great as was the ambiance but service was very slow indeed. We had to go and get drinks ourselves as nobody offered us one within the first 15 inures of sitting down. The same happened with all courses and our children even suggested asking where the food was. I think that this detracted from the meal itself which was very good. It felt as if they needed another member of staff as they were all very busy even thought the restaurant was not full. Staff were all very polite and helpful, just not enough of them! Would go again hoping this was a one off. Desserts were particularly good!

Got a good table, inside enough to be warm (I don't like drafts) yet close enough to the lovely large patio doors to see out. In summer the patio doors are fully opened (weather permitting) giving s lovely outside-in dining experience. On the evening re went the weather wasn't brilliant so the doors were closed, save for the personnel door to allow staff and clients access. Staff closed the door behind them whenever they passed through it. The food was lovely. As always. The service was less good than previous experiences, we could hear Chef ringing the bell for service and on more than one occasion he had to seek the front of house staff. 2 obliging young men, but they needed to get to grips with restaurant efficiency. That aside my hubby and I spent a pleasant evening I n us rushed surroundings enjoying lovely food.
