   So disappointed tonight. I booked online as usual for the restaurant 5 days prior for our table of 4 in the restaurant to be told that we would be seated in the bar!. We have booked many times online exactly the same and never had any problems . The bar was noisy, the table unclean with music being set up so not a great evening for a meal with friends. Jd is our place to go to and have never had a bad experience. So so disappointing that we left without eating and had to rebook elsewhere. If we had only booked with hardly any notice might have accepted it but we booked Tuesday with plenty of notice. Sadly will now think twice about re booking. Staff not helpful or interested.

   Thank you for leaving your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t what you expected, especially as a valued guest who has enjoyed visiting us before. It seems your original booking was for the bar, when booking through OpenTable, selecting 'Standard' refers to restaurant tables. It looks like there has been some confusion with your reservation, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. We strive to create the best experience for our guests, and we regret that this visit didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to create the best experience and regret that this visit fell short. As a goodwill gesture, we’d love to welcome you back with a £30 voucher for a future visit. Please contact us with your address and we will happily get this sent out to you.

   Great sausage and mash - veg and gravy were super. Jam rolly poly with custard - retro and still great!
   

   JD YoungResponded on February 21, 2025

   Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the sausage and mash – a true classic! And we couldn't agree more about jam roly-poly with custard, some things never go out of style. We hope to see you again soon for more comforting favourites!
