"Presentation of the food and quality was very good."
"The roast beef was fantastic, large portion, nice and hot and cooked spot on."
Cons:
"Really very disappointing Sunday roasts. Cold veg, what seemed like powered mash and frozen roast potatoes."
"Food is just average. Came after 40min and chips were cold."
"Food looked well presented when arrived from the kitchen (though we had to wait for it a long time), but when you started tasting the food it got worse."
"The wagyu burger which was more burnt than cooked."
"Steak was very basic no nice charcoal taste or anything like that and very little taste as well as being very dry."
"The food quality was poor, the veg wasn't cooked properly."
"The scallop and pea risotto is a disaster."

Cons:

"Waited 1/2 hr for the bill (then gave us the wrong one) and another 15mins trying to get the right bill and another 15mins to pay it at the counter."
"Service shocking, many tables were free for over 30 mins but they wouldn’t accommodate a family of five."
"Poor customer service."
"Took a while to be noticed at the wait to be seated sign."
"If you dont mind being ignored and waiting ages for your food to arrive, then it's the place for you."
"They got my order wrong but refused to put it right unless I paid more!"
Ambiance and Decor

"The interior is neatly matched from all sorts of old chairs and tables."
Cons:
"Did not look that busy and another group were told too move inside and they could order but that was not offered to us."
"To much of a teenagers pub nowadays instead of what used to be a friendly family pub/restaurant."
"The door to the garden was left open which left the large room we were sitting in in a short time very chilly."
"Food luke warm when it did arrive."
"Service and food were very good."
"But won’t bother again much better places in Baldock! Support them instead!"
"This pub is one of a chain. Like Wetherspoons but not that one. It is a great building but a bit of a walk from town. Good choice of seating and real ales."
