Back in the 1960's I started working in Park Square. Thirsty work that needed refreshment and the nearest pub was the Town Hall Tavern. While the beer was good, the only concession to food were pickled eggs and plain crisps (no other flavours then). Enough of nostalgia... I visited again last Saturday and was suprised that the spartan (in a... More

The Gammon & Egg was simply devine, the best I have ever tasted!!. My mother had the Haddock (Fish N Chips) which was the real deal,... More

I dined here on Sunday with my partner and parents. I had heard a lot of good things about this pub so decided to give it a try. I was certainly not disappointed. I had a homemade burger which was beautifully cooked and presented. The rest of my party had fish and chips, burger and the beef roast. All of... More

Well after only working not so far from tht i though i would give it a try. And i was left underwhelmed to say the least. Sat down and the waiter takes our drinks order, fairly polite. We ordered our food and the starters arrived 6-7 mins later and this is where it goes down hill. The crackling came out... More

I am very disappointed to see that you did not like any aspect of your meal. I have been away for a few days and will obviously have to investigate when you where in and who the chefs on duty where, I must say that I did not have any concerns upon returning as all the feedback we have received...

Dined here on Saturday afternoon - had been looking for to it as I hadn't been for ages and I was not disappointed. Absolutely sensational food and couldn't fault it in any way. Had the pig cheek scotch egg to start followed by scampi in a basket - both were divine. A nice pint of Blond Witch to go with... More

We chose to try Town Hall Tavern after reading the excellent reviews although we were unable to book we turned up early and got the last table. Due to the limited tables I would definitely advise booking in future but the fact that it is so small adds to the atmosphere & service was great. It's traditional pub food cooked... More

Tim Taylor's Landlord on tap is a great start. I started with Pig's cheek scotch egg which was excellent. The egg was runny, the meat beautifull seasoned and the bread crumbs crispy. For main I had the flat iron steak cooked rare. Again this was excellent, seasoned to perfection, served with home cooked chips, mushrooms and the best grilled tomatoes... More

Extremely friendly and professional service throughout, and ambience only ruined by 8 gentlemen sitting on table next door who didn't know, or care, how loud and annoying they were! The fish and chips was superb - best fish I have had since eating at the Magpie in Whitby.

Hi there, thank you for your review. I'm thrilled you enjoyed dining with us and can only apologise for the lack of thought from another group. We do try to protect our diners as much as possible from rowdy customers, a task that is often difficult to execute! I hope that the food and service was enough to bring you... More
