I’ve always held Franklins in very high regard, having visited many times over the years. I only write this in the hope that things improve, as I’ve noticed a significant drop-off in both service and food quality during recent visits.
On our last visit, we actually left after just one drink — the staff were clearly stretched beyond capacity, and the kitchen appeared chaotic. It was disappointing to see, as this pub has long been an institution in the area. Unfortunately, it now seems to be living more on its past reputation than its current performance — a reputation I fear it no longer deserves.
