2/10We have previously been with our dog. This time even though it said ' muddy paws welcome ' at the entrance we were not allowed in with the dog.we were told we could eat in the outside area, which was freezing. We left.

2/10Sunday roast we waited over one hour for meal then the lamb was tough and in chunks not sliced. We were told the kitchen had to cook it in a rush as they had run out of both beef and lamb. I’m no chef but even I can cook lamb. The table behind us was extremely noisy but that isn’t the pubs fault but short of staff is.

8/10The waitor was lovely but rushed off his feet. We were sat in the corner and I think forgotten about slightly. Waited about 20 minutes for a drink at the table trying to get the waitors attention. Once we had his attention and we had our drinks and food everything was fine after that. Food was lovely. Like the refurb, will come again.

9/10Staff welcoming, just we were seated next to a noisy table, which rather ruined it for us. Two of our dishes were not as hot as could have been, but still delicious!

10/10My husband and I popped in for a late lunch around 2pm. We sat outside on their lovely patio- and shared a flatbread wood oven pizza with salad and a glass of wine. The pizza was perfect- the crust divine! Also the salad was terrific- the leaves so fresh. The lady that served us was so pleasant - greeted us with a warm smile. We will definitely be back!

7/10The food was good but not all the food on the menu was available and this was 2000hrs on a Friday, when I booked the table I asked for somewhere quite as a memeder of our party is a little hard of hearing, we were put next to a table of men on a birthday party we all sat in silence due to the fact they were to noisy

10/10We chose The Golden Retriever because of our beautiful Goldie. We were so pleased we did. The ambience was lovely, the food was delicious, and the portion sizes were perfect for us. I had the pasta with seafood and my husband had the burger both were presented nicely and were very tasty, I also enjoyed chatting with the waitress, lovely young girl, and she gave us a little rundown on the history. love the way there are old photos around the walls and funny little messages. There was a lovely bubbly atmosphere of families and couples all enjoying meals together.

9/10The staff were very friendly and efficient. When we arrived, we were seated near a very rude woman, who insisted that we move, as we had our dog with us. Despite us, and your staff explaining that it was a dog-friendly pub, she was so unpleasant that we were happier sitting elsewhere. The staff were very apologetic, but it wasn't their fault. Christina looked after us well, and the unfortunate incident was quickly forgotten. BTW, we drove down from a village near Luton, as we have a Golden Retriever, and I wanted a nice surprise for my Wife, as it was our wedding anniversary. She was delighted.

10/10I periodically take friends and relations to The Golden Retriever and food, drinks and service is always very good indeed. It is also a very nice atmosphere, with friendly staff. It can get very busy at times, so it is wise to book if you can, although I am sure staff will do their best to find you a table.

7.5/10Very pleasant meal, service a little slow especially getting drinks after arrival. There was a problem with the male cloak room in that a light in a cubicle was not working. The other cubicle could not be locked.

9/10A very nice meal and very attentive and helpful service. One problem: the lighting (it was lunch time) is very dim. It may be OK for young people with good eyesight, but is not for individuals of my generation (and another customer was complaining about it). I had to use the light on my phone to read clearly. Please turn it up!
