We made reservations to have Sunday dinner here. We got to the restaurant, and they do not have us on their list. They said they could have us seated shortly as a group was about to finish. We waited for over an hour. With a hungry group, we ordered what we wanted while waiting for our table. It didn't take long to arrive once we were finally seated.
The food was pretty good. Huge portions! I had the lamb and beef. The meat was tender. Yorkshire pudding was cooked to perfection!
The servers were very attentive to us, making sure everything was okay. Only deducting a star because of the mishap. We would still come back.
Made to feel welcome, outstanding food, plenty of it too and polite, attantive service
Very busy and need to book for lunch but when you do you will understand why. An excellent menu of delicious and varied food with a friendly and helpful service. Brilliant place for a bit of a treat.
We had a very enjoyable evening. The food was amazing, best meal out we've had in a long time. Freshly cooked, good portion size, we took the end home in a box. The salad was fresh and interesting with really lovely coleslaw. Meat was good quality, chips were lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good choice of music too.
Went with friends on their friends recommendation and from start to finish the whole experience was a delight. Spacious character pub with first class service. The menu was extensive and varied. The prices were very reasonable and the portions generous. Absolutely everything was brilliant and we will return again soon.
The Poachers in Metal Bridge is an absolute gem! This pub offers a delightful experience for both food and drink enthusiasts and train enthusiasts alike. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is impeccable, and the food is simply delectable. Sitting by the window with a delicious meal in hand while watching trains pass by is a unique and enchanting experience. I can't recommend The Poachers enough for a perfect blend of great food and captivating entertainment. A solid 5-star pub!
Great pub, great food and great service! Thanks!
The parmo was massive! I didn't eat for two days afterwards
Fantastic service by extremely friendly staff, food was amazing and as others have said I can confirm the portions are huge and well worth the price. Would definitely recommend
Never fails! Ate there countless times and never had a bad meal.
First time since 2012, and I took my mam for lunch as was her birthday. Service was excellent & food was great. Portion sizes are unbelievably large & well worth the money.
Highly Recommend
Great food for our meeting and fantastic service from the staff. Easy 5 stars from us
Food was really nice, good portion sizes with lots of selection. Disappointed some food items weren't available but the food we ordered was lovely. Staff were nice and put up with our banter for a large table. Would definitely recommend 👌
Really nice Sunday lunch, Friendly staff
Decent food, fair portions as I upgraded my chips to sweet potato chips for less than £2 extra and they sent a sharing plate of them instead of a portion for one (but I can't complain, they were nice and everyone got to have at least some) and service was good. Only thing I can say is there were a few large parties of people in there when I was so it was louder than I think it would have been otherwise.
Very busy place. Food very nice but huge portions. Steak & mushroom pie with chips lovely, veg (turnip, Carrots, garden peas ok) prices good.
Beautiful food and far too many nice things to try. Will take a good few visits to work through all the lovely menu. Lovely friendly staff
Fantastic little place lived here since I was little and have never been there.
We have been twice now and both times the food was fantastic the portions are good prices are good too all in all 4 stars from me
Hell's teeth! Make sure you're hungry because the shear mountain of food you get will floor you!
I can eat, but, a starter and a main had me questioning my life's decisions.
So much to choose from on the menu and friendly staff make it well worth a revisit....just get a designated driver because you won't fit behind the wheel!
Visited here for our anniversary meal. A lovely pub and place to eat overall. We both had starters and had a parmo for the main. The chips were delicious and got loads of them! The parmo wasn't the best we've had but fairly nice. The chips made the meal though. It was very busy when were we here so highly advisable to book as a couple we past on way in must of waited around 40 minutes who hadn't booked. Will definitely return.
