What Emma T doesn't like about The Griffin:
Disappointed; having an increasingly lack of consideration for the impact it’s patrons have on the surrounding environment. During the daytime a patron decided to park their large motorbike in the narrow pavement outside which resulted in pedestrians having to walk into the adjacent road. When I highlighted this to the staff and the risk and the risk it caused for disabled people attempting to pass the staff treated... View all feedback. What User likes about The Griffin:
this pub is beautifully decorated both inside and outside, it has a quite traditional feeling both in terms of its aesthetics and eating that is also beautiful and they are so generous with their portions (yay) the handlein are in the position to worry for large group of people, although I found their main surface look better than the surface for larger groups of people, it reminded me of a bit of a personal View all feedback.

Large pub Inc outside areas, friendly staff, great range of beers. Nice atmosphere on election night July 2024. Nothing to fault it. The whet stone is outside.

Excellent local traditional pub. No real bells and whistles but very popular with the locals because it's friendly and does the important things very well.

Nestled in a charming location, The Griffin offers a vibrant atmosphere with friendly staff and a spacious garden—ideal for sunny days. Guests rave about the drinks, particularly the cocktails and house wines, alongside commendable offerings like the Sunday roast. However, the food quality appears inconsistent, with some diners expressing disappointment over burgers and overall meal experiences. Service issues have occasionally marred visits, with mishandled reservations and hygiene practices raising concerns. Despite these drawbacks, many appreciate the pub's social ambiance and commitment to providing a welcoming environment, making it a popular spot for drinks and casual dining.
