The Merlin

Visited here on saturday 27th nov for breakfast while the car was in for service. what a lovely place, very well decorated and very clean. the staff were outstanding, very polite and acknowledged their customers at all times. this kind of service is very rare these days, so hats off to you. the food was also fantastic, especially for the price. i had very low expectations based on a breakfast being less the £5. this was probably one of the best breakfasts i've had in a long time. amazing quality at such a low price. overall, the value and customer experience here is first class. i felt i was paying budget prices for first class service. outstanding. if your in the area or dropping your car off for a service at the local dealerships, then visit here while you wait, 100% worth it, we'll be visiting again. can't cook breakfast this cheap again home 😁

I ate twice, once for breakfast and another for lunch on consecutive days. the service was good and the price reasonable, but the food tasted quite flat, as though salt was the only seasoning that was used.

Average food, quick service, always very busy. you know what to expect in a chain pub like this. grandaughter and husband shared one of their large desserts which was good.

I visited at 5.30pm on a monday afternoon and there were choice of tables to sit at. the pub was half full and the atmosphere was pleasant. the food arrived in 15 minutes from ordering. i had the vegan mushroom pie which was much nicer than expected. for desserts we had chocolate fudge cake and vegan berry crumble both of which were good. i would definitely visit again. we used the app to order which automatically applied a promotion offer on "pub classics", the price was good value. the staff were friendly and attentive.

We haven't eaten here for donkeys even though we live really close, this was because at the time, the food and or the service wasn't up to scratch, however we went in yesterday on the off chance and really enjoyed the experience. we had the chicken new yorker and tandoori chicken sizzler from the super specials menu and then crumble and sticky toffee pud for desserts. all delicious and all affordable. well done all
