    Went in at lunch time to make use of the 2 for £10 deal on mains. A lot of food, good portion size and excellent value for money. Ordered a dessert, told them we were going to share between the two of us, so they gave us extra, such a massive dessert. Won't go hungry here and food is very tasty, get a lot for your money. Went on a weekday lunch time so understandably it was quite quiet, but a very relaxed and chilled vibe.

    The food came out perfectly cooked and it was delicious. The most surprising thing on my mixed grill was that the sausages were the best thing on my plate! Don't think about coming here for a quick meal even if the pub is only slightly busy. The wait was an hour and ten minutes. The pub was pretty busy but nothing to suggest a wait time that long. We were that hungry we had to go to the corner shop for snacks.

    The food was actually very good, especially the caribbean chicken skewer. The ultimate chicken plate is super value, so much food for only £13.

    Close to the Alexander stadium. Good size car park. Easy to fine. Staff polite. Food well presented. I wanted Salmon, however this was not on the menu(or I couldn't see it) had 2 starters instead which was nice too. My friends ordered meals and never said anything negative about so that's a thumbs up!

    Arrived with starving children ready to kick off if food wasn't presented in a timely fashion, like yesterday. Spoke with the manager Tina who gave the kids some colouring stuff and spoke with them so nicely by means of distraction while I ordered the food, service was outstanding and the staff are just so friendly and welcoming and really did everything to help with 3 tired and extremely hungry kids after a long day at school. Can't wait to come back again and hope the same set of staff are there, it really made the food 10x better! Thankyou!!

    Went for party in fuzzy Eddie's and meal after there was about 30 adults and children. All meals were amazing hot cooked and no complaints. Staff was very patient with children and made sure safety of the children as they was all running around playful warning children hot foods ect. Staff really friendly easy to talk to. Honestly couldn't have had a better! Thank you all on shift for the amazing meals, time you took for us and everything you did for our massive group

    Food was nice when they finally got it right. The stake was cooked lovely. Only problem I asked for no onions on my food as can't stand them but there was load. It was soon rectified. After that enjoyed my meal.

    Great place to go for food, kids area Great too, however air circulation in kids area poor, no fresh air with sweaty kids around. No windows open. Food great but could only give 4 stars because of lack of quality drinks. No ales on offer for those who don't want gassy pints,lol. Will go again when they get ales on draught. 👍😃

    I always come here weekly with my daughter as the staff are very friendly and polite. My daughter loves to play in the wacky as it’s always clean and tidy and the staff are always kind to her. Food is always good quality and well worth the money you spent here. Would definitely recommend it to families and friends

    Was spoken rudely by a member of staff and told to move from the disabled toilet my disabled partner was using she actually needed help when finished the manager was actually polite though and sorted a table for us. The lady in fuzzy eds was polite and helpful. When the food came out the mix grills were missing the tomatoes and mushrooms the plate was just handed to us without letting us know which rarity the steaks was so we was passing each other the correct steaks around the table and also the the burger which was supposed to have Frank's red hot sauce on didn't have any on it at all so apart from 2 members of staff being polite and helpful it was very disappointing will never return

    Came here for a family meal the staff were amazing, I needed a table with room for my son’s push chair and in a quiet spot as my son gets overwhelmed in crowds. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, this made our family meal stress free and we were all able to enjoy a lovely family meal. The service was fast and the food was delicious, we will definitely be visiting again!

    Visited tonight with my husband and two daughters. First class service from Tina and her team. The waitress always has a smile on her face, nothing is too much trouble , she is a credit. Food is always delicious and comes out fast. My daughter left her handbag in the pub , we rang up as soon as we realised, and the bag was put behind the bar for us to collect. Thank you all so much and highly recommended. See you all again soon xx

    I have visited twice and I have had a warm welcome on both occasions. I returned because I really enjoy the Surf n’ Turf - large steak and plenty of prawns with a garlic and parsley butter. Very nice food and friendly, attentive staff. Pay at the bar and quick service to the table. I will return here and try something else off their yummy menu.

  • 3/5 Laura A. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was very good, tasty, hot and good portions. Staff were friendly. It's just the service that let it down. I was told my meal wasn't available, but 2 of us had ordered it. So I switched to something else. Then the meal appeared, so the other person who had ordered it, had the meal that apparently wasn't available. Then another portion of the meal I'd originally ordered arrived, and the other meal I'd switched to. So I ended up with my original order, and another member of the party had my substitute order because his just never arrived. Very confusing, and definitely put a dampener on the experience. Shame, as the service was speedy and friendly. Just a shame there was some confusion.

    Omg…😍came here with 13 ladies for our annual Christmas shindig… our landlady was sooo lovely 🥰staff were amazing, I ordered the loaded surf and turf.. steak medium rare and it was cooked to perfection and the rest of our meals were piping hot.. spent about 6 hours there.

    Had a fantastic afternoon at the church tavern with wife and grandkids. They played in the kids fun area for over an hr. The girl who was running it was fantastic. Even allowing me in the pit to push my granddaughter on a slide swing. Then we had dinner staff again very helpful and all our meals were 10/10. I recommend there mix grill. All of us walked away very happy and full. 10/10 from us all we will deffernatly be coming back.

    Went for a big family meal, desserts took over an hour to arrive and we had to go up and ask for an update. Tables were a mess with nobody cleaning them, perhaps short-staffed. Other than that, the food was decent.

  • 2/5 S W. 2 years ago on Google
    Been going to the Church Tavern for years and had no problems but yesterday evening when I visited, it was very disappointing. The food portions were small and some of it was cold. The Beyond Meat burger and chips was not worth nearly £9! Also, charging £2.75 for one glass of Pepsi is shocking. Won't be visiting a Sizzling pub again and judging by the empty pub yesterday, it seems I'm not the only one. Waste of money in my opinion. Also, I'm assuming they have staffing issues because all the tables around us were not cleaned the whole time we were there. It's not nice eating your meal surrounded by messy tables. There was hardly anyone in there but waiting time for food was an hour. The staff were lovely but the pub is nothing like it used to be. Shame.

    A fantastic place for a great meal and drink Had chicken tikka masala & Garlic prawns

  • 2/5 Paul G. 2 years ago on Google
    The church tavern used to be really good. Value for money, decent food and a friendly atmosphere. Sadly this is no longer the case. I had a Sunday roast. Everything seemed overcooked and somewhat low grade? The staff that took our order churned us through and overall my party were left feeling dissatisfied. (That said, the staff that brought out the food were friendly and polite) From the many years my family have been visiting, we've noticed that the quality and service dips severely, then changes are made and it improves significantly. After a while, standards dip again and the cycle continues. I am not in the food industry so take this with a pinch of salt, but there are two fundamental changes that are needed before my family consider making the church tavern their local again; 1 - More staff. It's evident that the number of staff required to operate effectively isn't being met. The staff are rushed and that leads to quality issues. I'd pay more for food and drink to cover this cost. 2 - Rules about children. Whilst I know the draw is that it's Got a child friendly area (fuzzy eds? I don't have children so I'm unaware of this service) the pub sounds like a creche! Screaming children running rampant! This is not a pleasant environment for family meals. Whilst I'm not saying 'ban children from the pub', I do think having a dining area for 'adults' and a 'all ages' area would make more sense. If I recall correctly, this was in place maybe 5-10 years ago? Apologies for the long message however I wanted to quantify my low score. My family really enjoy meeting up at the church tavern but it's no longer a pleasant experience.

    We had a get together for a family meal to celebrate a Big 90 Birthday. Provided with table with wheelchair access. Served by Sean and Brynie (not sure if that's how you spell it). Catered for all our needs promptly and efficiently. Service and food excellent. Arrived hot and all together. Table and surrounding areas clean and tidy

    So busy today had to wait for our food but it made sense to be honest. Lovely management that spoke to us at our table. The guys and girls running around.such a change for a few years ago here. Food was good we love it here. The kids area is brilliant the kids love it

    Been to fuzzy eds a few times recently over the past few months, been coming for a few years though. I have to say the young girl, I think her name was Ellie, is amazing. She's always working alone and keeps the place running. She's amazing with all the parents and kids and is always willing to help. If she's new then she has management future because she's the best I've seen in fuzzy eds over the years. The food was lovely and the young girl Chloe I think, was very polite and professional. Both Chloe and Ellie should be praised for all their hard work . Well done girls your doing amazing and I've recommended my friends bring their children to meet Ellie.
