Visited the Thatch & Thistle twice this week for meals while working in the area.
We ordered on the Greene King app which worked a treat, was not in a rush so rather than stand at the bar - let us chat and chill while the drinks and food came to use when ready.
On one day I had the steak with peppercorn sauce, and the other the chicken skewers mix with fries and side salad on peppers. Both meals served perfectly - and thoroughly enjoyed them.
The guy who came and brought the order over was quick and friendly, service with a smile! Much appreciated.
Only thing that leads to confusion, and hope I'm fine as kept the receipts anyway just in-case is all the signs warning about parking fines. Which I know it needs so we can park there, but the machine to register number plate was out of order on both days. The lady at the bar said it's okay - but does leave a bit of a dread to think if they post a fine anyway.
Could do with it looking at, or a formal sign we can take a photo of just in-case the parking vultures come after us. This is the only point that took it down to 4* from what otherwise would be 5*.

Busy, lots of children literally running around and no one speaking to the parents even though I have heard lots of people complaining to staff about it.
Food is good, but the steak was well done and we've asked for medium rare.
Overall a good experience.
Free parking as long as you sign on the tablet at the entrance.
Really good relaxing atmosphere. Good food, fish and chips especially. My steak and ale pie was tasty but just a little overcooked. Staff were as always very pleasant and everything was clean. One of my favourite places for a quick cheap meal. With two main meals for only £11.99 you can’t go wrong. Also soft drinks at a realistic price.
