Couldn't fault the food, it was absolutely delicious and generous portions. We were however ignored by the waiting staff and eventually had to go up and order at the bar - after finding our own menus. I noticed another two guys got up and left after being ignored for long enough. It wasn't even that busy. The lady who served us at the bar was a delight though. Overall food 5/5, service 1/5.
No heating in the back room, led to a very cold dining experience for everyone in January. Took 20 minutes for our drinks order to be taken and had to repeatedly ask for side plates for our starters. Somehow.a burger, two pints and a starter to share was £50 🤦. Won’t be returning.
They seem to have a management issue here, and the reviews over the last few months back this up. I visited with friends on 4th Jan and arrived at 2220. All went well. At 2245 I went to the bar to order another round and was told from the other side of the room by the manageress that the bar was closed. I mentioned it was only 1045 and that they had not told anyone they were closing early or called last orders. "It's closed because I want to get out of here at 11 because I have a train to catch, and you need to finish your drinks". I pointed out that was what drinking up time was for, but she was not having it. We were not the only ones in the bar, and there were five of us. From my experience and the reviews, it seems they have lost their customer focus - which is fundamental in the pub game. I hope they get it back because it used to be a good pub to pop into. It's probably worth taking a few more minutes and walking up to the Hope.
I hosted my cancer remission party at The Althorp on Dec 9 for around 60 guests and I cannot fault them one bit. I had a wonderful experience and the whole Althorp team ensured my evening was perfect! I loved ‘The Common Room’ as it was at the back of the pub and had its own toilets. We were able to play our own music which set the vibe for the night perfectly!! Whilst the private bar didn’t have beer taps nor soda guns this was never an issue as there were always plenty of bartenders on the main bar so you rarely waited! Another bonus for me was that the booking was a minimum spend. The Althorp was understanding that as this was not a Christmas party I was unable to pay hire fees and so to know we just had to spend a certain amount was a relief!! Definitely a BIG recommendation for future events. The food was delicious!! We had a selection of canapés that were swept up by the guests!! The little Yorkshire pudding roasties were to die for!! Definitely would come back just for a meal again 😍 Thank you so so much to the whole team for making my night a memorable one! I will forever be grateful ☺️
This is a nice little pub with friendly young staff (like James) and good food. Sadly the manageress seems to dislike people and dislike her job. A small group of us had dinner in the dining room for a Xmas get together and all agreed that we felt totally unwelcome both as individuals and as a group. There was a large group of girls in the other dining area all dressed up for Xmas and having a great time who also experienced the negativity and general unhelpfulness of this hostess. Reading various reviews on this and other platforms, the owners of this pub need to re-think their management before they have no customers left.
