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.

Was a nice family warm environment. The food was not as described as on the menu, for example 4 plates came without roast potatoes and 1 had them, my friend politely questioned the waiter about the lack of roast potatoes on the plates and she...was told ‘roast potatoes don’t come with the roast’. This was a lie as one our friends had roast potatoes and also the menu stated that ALL roast dinner come with ‘crispy roasties’. Also we had to wait 50 minutes for our food to come and it was like warm. There was also lack of vegetables on my plate.More

We held our wedding reception here in the back room. The landlord Mark was very accommodating in the build up, giving us some great ideas to enhance the evening, and the bar service and homecooked food was excellent. We ordered the beef hotpot which was...so good in fact many guests went up for a second helping! The room was a perfect size for the number of guests (60ish) and everyone was complimentary about the pub in general including the rooms which were booked by friends and family. Would highly recommend!More

We were last at the Bowling green in 2019 and it was all good from service to food & drinks. Unfortunately on 13/08/2023 it was not good at all. The staff were non interested in helping us to get a table indoors and said we...can sit outside. Outside tables were dirty and we were sat at table 201 which still had dishes on which were cleared b a member of staff but he made no mention of he was coming back to wipe the dirty table down, which he didn't. I went in after 5 minutes and asked for something to clean the table with and was handed some blue roll and a bottle of spray. Cleaned the table which was pretty dirty (it's now probably the cleanest table there). Beyond that and the lack of interest from staff plus seeing someone send their meal back because it really wasn't up to the quality that used to be at the BG, we decided to leave. Unless this place improves , we won't be back which is unfortunate as my parents had wanted to book a stay here as they had thought it much better than a chain hotel.More
