Food Quality
Pros:
"Food is fantastic and fresh."
"Food was lovely however, the 5 Stars has to go to your staff member Rachel, she was very personable, accommodating and brilliant with the kids."
"The pub is a great place to go for an evening meal with a variety of menu choices and delicious food."
"Food was really nice, and perfect portions."
"Went for a meal last night with a friend & ordered the foot long mac & cheese with chips & onion rings. It was delicious & would highly recommend."
"Food was amazing! Highly recommend the fish and chips but upgrade to the chip shop platter!!"
"Absolutely loved the Nachos shares which had fresh nachos topped off with guacamole, salsa, Jalapeños and cheese sauce and the freshly baked margherita pizza was an absolute delight!"
Cons:
"To serve food that has been nowhere near a chef, or has been prepared by someone that's clearly had a zero amount of cooking training, spoilt the great first impressions of this bustling bar."
"Our meal was delivered half an hour late, soggy buns, raw onion, cold chips."
"Made the mistake of ordering a mixed grill and burger, was told burger was ok even though it had weird gravy like sauce on it but mixed grill was awful."
"The food was disgusting, the pastry on the pies was so hard you could bounce it on the plate and was uncuttable."
"Fish had no flavour and the batter was soggy and covered in black dirty bits off the unclean fryer."
"Food was rubbish. Beef was tough in the beef and Yorkshire pudding meal, chips were undercooked."
"The so-called chunky chips I was looking forward to ended up being just above barely cooked."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"Amazing Christmas Meal, orchestrated by Amelia who was just so useful."
"The service is always timely and I've never had to take anything back with a wrong order."
"Food was lovely, as was service by Rachel."
"Rachel, our waitress was friendly and put us right at ease."
"Our server Millie was incredible, she gave us several excellent suggestions for drinks."
"Staff were polite, smiling, and helpful."
"Staff are always full of smiles and eager to help in any way."
Cons:
"Terrible door staff. I found a handbag that contained money and tried to hand it to door staff for safe keeping, I was told to put it back where I found it and leave it alone!"
"The bouncers were very rude for when I had asked why I was being searched."
"I ordered our drinks through the app. After 15 minutes of waiting I approached the bar to be told by a very rude barman that the printer wasn't working."
"Unprofessional staff, Ema with green hair was extremely rude."
"Order steak and chips without peas after stating I have an allergy to peas I was served with peas after sending it back the member of staff I spoke to was bad mannered and got no apology."
"Awful staff, very rude (Emma with the green hair especially)."
"Hand wash man became very unprofessional with me all because a grown man of 38 years old wanted to wash his own hands!!"
Ambiance and Decor
Pros:
"This was a fantastic pub to go for a drink at, having decorations that truly create a modern vibe!"
"Crafty undoubtedly has a fun atmosphere and I find most people (other customers) very welcoming."
"Catchy music played and wasn't too loud or too quiet."
"It tasted amazing with the blend of flavours and cleanliness was maintained in the pub!"
"A great pub. I was expecting it to be full of young people and was delighted to see the customers were a real mix of ages."
"Cheap drinks and good music with a dancefloor."
"It’s the place to be if you love your pizza and nachos. The ambience is all heart!"
Cons:
"All the available tables were covered in spilled drinks when I arrived."
"The number of smokers stood outside the door, almost in the door, as you walk in a huge disappointment."
"Spoons sized bar but with sports as the main attraction (it's far too loud guys)."
"The tv's were all on cos there was a match on - but the level of the volume was crazy!"
"Post apocalyptic wetherspoons vibes with the stickiest non nightclub carpets I've had to misfortune to traverse."
"However, it's worth noting that the place itself is very run down and dirty."
"The place had several dirty tables."
Value and Pricing
Pros:
"Reasonably priced for Pub Grub-style food."
"Drinks reasonably priced had a laugh wasn't overly rammed painless to get served thank u for a pleasant evening."
"All the beers are £2.50 on a Monday."
"Really cheap alcoholic drinks, reminded me of a wetherspoons."
"Beer was good and food was delicious, and great value."
"Best thing about this place is the fact they have an offer on in the middle of a week day which gives you two good sized meals for (I think) £8.99."
"Very cheap prices and great location."
Cons:
"Staff were nice but floor was sticky at 3pm on a Saturday and items we ordered on the app were not in stock."
"Drinks a bit on the pricey side."
"Only down side was drinks prices which we found quite expensive, more than the cinema!"
"Poor value for money for a lightbite."
"Was told The Crafty Scholar was cheap, however, if you buy a shipyard ale, you will be sorry. The ale cost over £4 and it was not even that great."
"Massive sign on the wall saying Carling for £2. Turns out that this price only applies after 7pm."
"The 'My pub' app is absolutely terrible. The payment almost always fails and it is buggy and difficult to use."
