What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Tankard is praised for its friendly staff, delicious brunch, and welcoming atmosphere, making it a great spot for both casual dining and events. While many enjoy the food and service, some find the prices high and the atmosphere lacking on quieter nights.
"Food was absolutely amazing 10 out of 10 for customer service and how friendly the staff are I would recommend for it to be the best pub in the time"

"Nice clean, well decorated pub. Friendly staff.
Sadly lacking in atmosphere and whose prices are way over the average. £5 a pint for San Miguel it is £3.65 odd in at least 2 other pubs (not counting spoons). Alas, I will not be returning sadly"
