The Thomas Daniell

Went on a Friday night , firstly the place was busy but a nice busy the atmosphere was very nice it felt under control by the staff. To start we had the squid which was probably the best I’ve had , you can really tell it’s fresh. As for the mains I had the beef brisket which tasted great ! The gravy was a highlight. My partner had the fish and chips , chips were delightful and fish was pretty decent but nothing special . I thought the service was brilliant, very attentive and friendly. Didn’t catch our waiters name but he told us they were even a staff member down on the night , never would of guessed. Overall 5/5 experience

I had the ribs and schnitzel at Thomas Daniel and really enjoyed the food. The ribs were tender and full of flavor, while the schnitzel was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Generous portions and a nice balance of seasoning made it a satisfying meal. Definitely a good spot if you’re craving hearty comfort food.

The Thomas Daniell, what can I say? It is absolutely fantastic. The staff are very friendly, polite, and very welcoming. Great beers, great food, a very nice pub, clean, lovely decor, a nice seating area at the front of the pub, and a beautiful flower garden. Cheers, Vince.

Nice space. The food was good and well seasoned. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beer was good.

There are no words for how amazing the food is. I have never tasted anything by quite like this. I never want to get the taste out of my mouth. The presentation is so incredible. If I could I would kiss the chef whoever they are! DONT WALK RUN TO THIS PLACE. The crispy chilli beef and the ribs are on a different level. I will remember this day for the rest of my life. Thank you! The chef deserves so much credit. Staff are lovely and friendly too.

6 of us went to the TD for a combined Christmas/birthday event and had a great time. They were so busy they'd run out of champagne, fish and chips and some desserts (huge respect to the staff and chef for managing when they were one man down) but it didn't matter at all. All the replacement dishes and drinks were excellent and the service was brilliant. A wonderful Christmas vibe, embodied by our servers Milly and Evie. Thanks TD, for a fun,memorable evening.

As recently moved to the area and this place being our local we came here the other day for some lunch and it was beautiful so we booked to come for there Sunday lunch I ordered beef and to be honest when your paying basically £25 for a roast you kind of expect the beef to separate with no issue and be like butter whilst chewing however mine was tough as anything was given a steak knife to cut and even this was struggling to cut through it massively disappointed took it back to the bar can't fault the staff they took it off the bill no questions just highly disappointing will look elsewhere for a local Sunday roast in future plus very very minimal veg for nearly £73 for 3 roast and given on measeley portion of green veg and a tiny portion of cauliflower cheese never known a roast to not come with brocoli cauliflower carrots ? Was just a very underwhelming experience in my own personal opinion

Great Food, Disappointing Service: The Food: Excellent Quality and Speed ​The best part of our visit was definitely the food. Our meals arrived very fast, and the quality was very good. I ordered the steak and was extremely happy with the preparation. ​One small note on the steak: While the meal was delicious, I had to use a butter knife for the steak, which made it unnecessarily difficult to eat. A proper steak knife should definitely be provided. ​Service Needs Significant Improvement ​Unfortunately, the service detracted significantly from the dining experience. ​Initial Seating: Despite having a reservation, we were simply pointed to a table "over in the corner" rather than being properly seated. This felt dismissive and was not a great start. ​Lack of Follow-Up: After our table was cleared, the service essentially stopped. ​We were not offered dessert menus. ​We were not offered additional drinks while we finished our current ones. ​We sat for a significant period after the restaurant had quieted down, waiting for attention that never came. ​Getting the Bill: Ultimately, we had to go up to the bar to request the bill. When I mentioned the issues regarding the lack of follow-up service and the seating, the response was a simple, unhelpful "I'm sorry" with no attempt at resolution or further acknowledgment. ​Overall ​While the chef deserves high praise for the excellent food, the front-of-house service needs serious attention and training. The poor hospitality and lack of follow-through made the experience frustrating. I hope the restaurant addresses these issues, as they have the potential to be truly excellent with better service.
