Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Absolutly amazing staff, we were refunded for the kids meal, we were accidently charged for it, but we hadn't even noticed, they came over to our table to tell us (very honest of them). The bar staff Chloe, was lovely, she bought our 4yr old...over an icecream, made his day. A lady called Val sat at a nearby table, she was so kind, we didn't realise she was staff as she wasn't on shift, yet she still helped us. I will definately be a returning customer. Just a wonderful kind place to eat with our little boy. We would definately recommend to everyone. Thank you so much for such a lovely warm welcome and atmosphere 😊More

My partner & I called for lunch, he had fish & chips ( not at all greasy), I had the freshest salad with steak cooked to perfection....both for £15.00, thankyou. Barman/ server deserves credit too.

I had chicken, ham hock and leek pie with mash, peas, green beans and lashings of gravy. It was delicious and hot. I then had apple crumble and custard for dessert, and that too was delicious. Plenty of crumble and plenty of custard. The lady...behind the bar took our orders for both drink and food. She then waited on our table, bringing the food when the kitchen signalled with a door bell. This lady worked tirelessly and barely stopped the whole time we were there. Personally, I couldn't fault this place. Excellent service and great value, tasty food.More

Been for a meal with friends. Pub is nicely done out, clean and tidy with pleasant staff. Good choice of menu standard pub fare but something to suit everyone. Meal was served in a timely manner and was fine, very fresh cooked chips, nice piece...of steak but could have done with being hotter, and as with many pubs was served on a cold plate. Big downside at the time we visited, there was a group of very loud, very foul mouthed men sitting around who should have been put in their place or ejected by the staff but they were not and continued with their disgraceful behaviour despite there being many ladies present. We were able to locate in a different area of the room but being small there was no getting away from it. The lack of action or control by the staff who let this bad behaviour continue makes me think that we will not be returning .More

Very good experience with an unplanned/on spec visit. The Green Man is one of three establishments that are close to each other on/nearby the canal and walking path at Willington. We had only fancied a drink so we dropped into 'Green Man' which we had...not been into for 'years'! As we relaxed enjoying our drinks (draught beer and a lager), we noticed a 'Meal Deal' for the day (Burger 2 for 1) so decided eventually to give it a try.. We were pleasantly surprised at the overall table service and also the quality and value for money of the 'Burger meals' we had ordered. (On review, they do other 'meal deals' on some other days). Later on that day we mentioned the experience when catching up with our daughter and son in law who also like walking. Unknown to us until yesterday, they have consequently tried it out and said there experience was much the same as ours. and like us, when in the area, will be returning. Hence I've decided to do a review and hopefully encourage a few more to do the same.More

Popped in for lunch and the food was excellent. The pub was very busy with lots of reserved tables, which is a good indication of how popular the pub is. We had BLT sandwiches with chips and they were delicious. Other tables were having full...meals from fish and chips to steak and every plate went back empty, another good sign. We will return again soon for evening meals, as well as drinks. This pub has a lovely welcoming atmosphere and a friendly team. It's a real local, comfortable pub.More

Having not fancied chips, I decided on the steak, mushroom and ale pie as it comes with mashed potatoes. Mine was not as expected! Steak and ale pie plus chips and peas and a jug of gravy. I presume the gravy was for the potatoes...I didn’t get. The pie was that hot I had to spit out it burnt my mouth! I didn’t like to complain as my lunch was bought for me.More

We wanted a dog friendly pub after a hot day on the canal. Another canal side pub was automated booking so we couldn’t find out if dogs were allowed or not. The Green man is dog friendly and human friendly! Two vegetarians and two meat...eaters had a great value meal, with puddings all round. We sat outdoors. It’s basic picnic tables but the food and service was far from basic. Very friendly, efficient, clean loos.More
