What Viorel Georgescu likes about The Old Fisherman:
We organised a small wake at the Old Fisherman following a funeral at the local church and the buffet that they put on for us was absolutely excellent. The staff were friendly and very helpful and the food was very high quality. View all feedback. What Lola Roberts doesn't like about The Old Fisherman:
Extremely slow service, had to ask to be served in the end! Food was ok at best, Luke warm chips, barely garnished burgers, and the pizza from the childrens menu was a microwaveable Chicago town. Outside was a terrible mess, dirty, broken furniture piled up...everywhere and rubbish all over the place. Inside not much better, looked like the whole place could do with a deep clean. Really disappointing visit, will not... View all feedback.

Fantastic pub! Been visiting for over 40 years and love the environment and staff. Kelly is wonderful, along with her senior manager.

Chef and Brewers received mixed reviews for their Sunday roast, with some customers disappointed by the quality of the food, while others found the improved atmosphere and service to be worth returning for. Dishes like the Beef and Ale pie and the roast beef left much to be desired, but the variety of options and friendly staff were highlights for other visitors. The pub's setting, especially the children's play area, was praised, making it a great choice for families. Overall, opinions were divided, with some diners enjoying their experience and others left wanting more from their meals at Chef and Brewers.
