Sure, the food is almost offensively average, but they have an enormous play area with stuff for kids of all ages. The portions are huge, especially for the price. Their "Ultimate Carvery" is a shockingly huge plate, complete with the biggest Yorkshire pudding you've ever seen, pigs in blankets, and all the normal trimmings. I could barely make a dent in it. And I have to say, the quality of the meat was better than I expected. The beef was honestly pretty tender. The sides were all pretty average and mass-produced (the cauliflower cheese especially disappointing), but it filled me up for the rest of the day, possibly the rest of my life, and my son had a blast in the play area. HUGE queues at peak times though, so prepare to wait in line a while.

Firstly the staff just seem to be disinterested. They serve while talking to each other and I felt like I was inconveniencing them by making them take my order. The food arrived quickly, but the quality was awful. Overcooked vegetables, chewy Yorkshire puddingpudding and the roast beef was approximately 40% fat and gristle. When I was finished I waited 20 minutes for someone to come and take my plate away but was again disappointed so I just got up and left. I had hoped to sit there for a while and read my newspaper as the place itself is well presented, clean and has a good atmosphere but I was so put off that I decided a walk on the beach would be much more pleasant (and I was right!)

I wanted to leave this review to say a huge thank you to the team at The Denton Pub…read more I received a parking charge from a long time ago which had escalated and caused a lot of stress. After reaching out to the pub directly (I contacted them via Facebook, but phone would work too), the manager went above and beyond to help me. They absolutely didn't have to get involved, but they contacted Euro Car Parks on my behalf and got the PCN cancelled. Given how long the issue had been ongoing, I really appreciated the time and effort they put in to sort it properly. I'd strongly recommend that anyone who receives a PCN related to this car park contacts the pub directly -- the team were approachable, helpful, and genuinely supportive. Thanks again to everyone at The Denton. Really appreciated.

My brothers local pub, so we decided to pop in. We were…read morestarved so ordered an 8oz steak, a chicken burger and baked potato and chips (yes, potato potato). Although the pub wasn't too busy, the food took a while to come to our table and was disappointed that my steak wasn't cooked as I ordered. It didn't come with the sauce I ordered either, so had to have that addressed! The chicken burger was scoffed and so was the potato potato, with a nice touch of melted cheese on the chips. My hubby popped out for a cigarette and ordered me some apple pie and custard, which never arrived. Can't fault the friendliness of the staff, so this rating gets 3 stars.

Highly disappointing! Having heard a lot about this place as…read morebeing one of the best "gastro-pubs" in the area, we were expecting good things so well in advance for Sunday lunch / birthday celebration 8 adults and two small children. As we had a vegan with us, we asked if he could be accomodated and were specifically told, it wouldn't be a problem. We were shown to a large table in a decent room at the back of the restaurant which didn't have the ambiance of the rest of the place but thankfully, we didn't have to get the singer either. I was a bit perturbed to see office style chairs in this area (yet not in the main part) and this didn't really give it a great look. The waitress came to take our orders and had never heard of a vegan ... when we explained, she stated that all that was available was on the menu, despite the fact we'd been assured that something could be arranged. The owner came out and although apologetic, she just passed the buck claiming she didn't know who took that call and on Sunday's nothing could be done - all she could offer him were a salad and some vegtables. When I stated that any chef could knock up a vegan dish without a problem (erm, stir fry? roast tomatoes with pasta? mashed potatoes with roast veggies? couscous? .... ) she said they were unwilling to do that on a Sunday. It was extremely annoying. As a gastro-pub I was expecting something a little out of the ordinary and maybe other days they do but even on something as traditional as Sunday lunch, there are ways of making it that little bit special. Starters on the table were potted shrimp (tasty), prawn cocktail (70's style in rose sauce ... tasty and good portion, a wild garlic soup, goats cheese salad and black pudding and bacon salad. These were the only choices and these could have been knocked up by just about anywhere. There was nothing wrong with them, they just were just a bit pedestrian. Our vegan got a small salad which was basically just 2 cherry tomatoes and some leaves with dressing. How hard would it have been to excite this some? From taking our order, it too about 15 mins for the starters which was fair enough but after clearing our plates it took another 40 mins for the main courses to come which is far too long for lunch. Again the menu was rather dull with 4 types of meat (lamb, beef, belly of pork and chicken), fish pie and wild mushroom mac and cheese (yaaaawn) - just about the easiest menu that could be prepared and everything in advance. Lunch was actually fairly good apart from the dull fish pie (one type of fish and shrimp) in which they forgot to serve the side salad and bread until asked. A huge bowl of well prepared boiled veggies and cauliflower cheese as sides. I have no idea why this would take so long as every dish would have been prepared in advance and could have been put out a lot faster. Our vegan got a bowl of veggies - EXACTLY the same veggies that were in our big bowl and which we had a lot left. Service was very average over all. The girls serving have not had proper training for somewhere that is trying to be on the higher end (reflected in the prices, table clothes, cloth napkins, etc.). The bill came and for the vegan's salad and the bowl of veggies, they charged £9 !!! Considering that they had made the mistake and were unable to correct it, the very least the owner could have done was to comp that (we could have simply skipped his meal and fed him from our plates!) Overall we were all very disappointed and feel that this place can only be "resting on it's laurels" if it gives this little attention to it's customers. Well these are 8 customers, that are unlikely to return.
