Reviews


Despite some mixed reviews, The Engineer seems to be a popular choice for many locals. Some diners were disappointed with the limited menu and quality of the food, particularly with dishes like the burnt nachos and overcooked whitebait. However, others praised the friendly service and tasty roast dinners. The atmosphere in the restaurant was described as welcoming, with a good selection of beers and wines available. Overall, it seems like The Engineer is hit or miss depending on individual experiences, but it could be worth a visit for those looking for a casual dining option in the area, on average, the rating for The Engineer Pub and Restaurant is 4.3.
