   I would rate the food and value a zero as we never got to eat there. The service was shocking, only one waitress serving the entire restaurant during a busy Sunday lunch. Our food order was taken a few minutes after we arrived. we had one round of drinks, with no further table service. We were approached by the waitress after waiting for 1hr 30 and told that our food order wasn’t placed, after which point we told her to leave it (wasn’t going to let my child sit and wait another hour for food) We requested to speak to the manager and was told she was on leave, we then requested to speak to the next senior manager and was told it was the chef, he refused to speak to us. This restaurant seriously needs to have a look at how they treat their customers and how they support their over worked staff.

   Lovely, friendly staff, but I’m afraid the food was a letdown. What we got was nice, but very small, child portions which made the overall bill quite expensive.

   The place looked great and was very warm and welcoming, but it was very empty as there were lots of firework displays in the area which we hadn't considered. The lady who served us was really friendly and helpful - couldn't fault. Food was great and good value. All in all we had a lovely evening at The Poacher with our friends.

    Second visit. Warm welcome from the landlord. Nice basic menu, but the food was very good indeed. The chicken schnitzel was excellent. Well kept beer (Doombar). Will return again.
