Not a gastro pub, beautiful building, inside needs thought, quite a cold experience. Food was OK, all freezer food and took a while to arrive especially as only 1 other table was in. Strange bits of salad at the bottom of the onion rings, but nice onion rings, fish lovely, fresh chips instead of frozen would have been nice.

Lovely layout to the restaurant, but it was a very quiet day with only one other table occupied, so it was difficult to judge ambience. Unfortuantely my wife had to go for her third choice as her first two were unavailable. Attention should be given to that as the menu options are not extensive. But the meals we were served were very good. The service was also very good.

We arrived at the restaurant and it was very quiet, was a bit worried what it was going to be like, got served drinks before we went to our table. The food was amazing. I had the sirloin steak and it was cooked perfectly and my partner had the BBQ pulled pork and said it was amazing and the portions sizes were great. Fantastic little restaurant. We will defiantly be going back before we leave.

This was a poor reflection on the old schoolhouse bar and kitchen we once visited. Serious deterioration in all aspects of the experience. No mask protection worn by staff. Staff need general training on the approach to customer service aside from Covi-19.
The Old School Bar and KitchenResponded on 3 September 2020
I'm sorry if you expected our menu to be similar to the previous owners. We make no pretense of being an expensive gastro restaurant, we offer wholesome locally sourced contemporary British and European food. C19 means we have to have less customers with more space for each table and also less staff. Our one waiter on that night had many other duties to perform behind the scenes. We wouldn't let anyone work here who has C19 symptoms so our staff only wear masks if they feel at risk from diners.

I would not return to this restaurant ever! They got the drinks completely mixed up giving my diabetic husband full Pepsi even though we told them twice that it definitely was not diet...his blood sugar level were flying up even with a sip. My food was mainly a plate of peas. The food took forever to come and when it did it came one at a time and very very slowly as one of my sons had finished before my others came! 😡 One of the waiters kept stomping through the restaurant which echoed each time he did it and still can’t believe it he had a baseball hat on and a coat serving 😡 I’m sorry but this restaurant needs looking at extremely disappointed 😡
The Old School Bar and KitchenResponded on 27 August 2020
Hi Claire, we tried 3 times to replace your diet pepsi's for you as you said they were too syrupy and have since had an engineer in to test the line. He has adjusted the mix as it was slightly excessive. This would not affect your husband's blood sugar levels as it would still be zero sugar. However, speaking as a diabetic myself, I try and avoid diet sodas if I'm eating a high carb meal. I hope no service charge & the 50% off EatOutHelpOut helped make up for the wait
