Three Magpies Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was absolutely delicious!"
• "Gourmet burger. Was definitely in the upper burger echelon, I'd put it in my top 5."
• "Food choices were excellent and the portions huge at a very reasonable price."
• "The beef ale pie was AMAZING and I would go back for it."

• "The food was top notch."

Cons:

• "The chicken wings were worse we ever had."
• "The vegetarian pie was actually still frozen in the middle and the cauliflower was tough and inedible."
• "Not only were they fairly disgusting, but the portion was laughably small."
• "Not a fan of the fish and chips. Half a plate of frozen peas, about eight chips, and fish that tasted ‘off.’"
• "Food was barely edible."
• "Garlic bread was burnt, lasagne was stodgy, pie beef was tough, chewy and very peppery."
• "Unfortunately my soup was served lukewarm, and we were unable to cut or chew most of the roast beef we were served."

Service

Pros:

Cons:

• "No notification until a final warning of £100 and now a legal firm wanting £170.00."
• "2nd time booked a table in the restaurant simply couldn't get served. Bar meals took priority."
• "We waited more than 30 minutes for our meals even though they told us there was no wait for the food."
• "Waiting over an hour for our main meal is a little much isn't it."
• "It became clear to us that there were at least two new staff members and very new at that. There were multiple issues throughout our time there but not just with us, with every customer."

Atmosphere & Location

Pros:

• "This is a cozy and nice location with delicious and authentic food."
• "Super cute pub! Beautifully decorated for Christmas!"

• "The building is charming and historic, the staff was friendly, humorous and helpful!"
• "The pub's interior is a little dark for me but exudes a quaint, cozy ambiance, replete with character and history."
• "Cutest English pub atmosphere - very cozy."

Cons:

• "The general dirty appearance of the place meant we decided not to go back and order delivery to the hotel instead."
• "The furniture is well worn and the whole place could do with a good cleaning."
• "It's an old building which makes for a great atmosphere."
• "A traditional pub but lacking the usual friendly, welcoming vibe."
• "The atmosphere is relaxed/calm -- a bit different from most other pubs."
• "So-so value; terrible atmosphere."
• "The photo makes it look slightly idyllic. It isn't. It's on a main road (Bath Road) near the middle of Heathrow Airport nested by the airport hotels."

Value

Pros:

• "Went with a few friends and was pleasantly surprised with the 'Two classics for £13' offer."
• "Very good value for money."

• "The food was very good value, considering the area and the prices that the hotel restaurants charge!"
• "The food is really nice, and reasonably priced as well."

Cons:

• "The car park was £4 for 2 hrs behind the pub."
• "He literally got 10 peas as a side."
• "Knocked a star off pint of larger £6.80!"
• "As a midlander the price of a pint is somewhat breathtaking being close to double that we would normally expect to pay at £6.00 a pint."
• "Well overpriced but trapped around here on a Sunday choices are bad."
• "PARKING TICKET TRAP! Was waived off by the angry bartender when we inquired about registering our car because we were meeting people and immediately leaving."
• "Fish and chips was a tiny portion and not really fitting of an adult meal."
