    We had a meal on Christmas eve for my birthday. .although we appreciate the waiter was new , so we still tipped him. There were several kids running around ,climbing under our table and jumping off chairs next yo us, nothing was said to the parents. We waited 35 minutes for drinks. My meal because it was under starters came out first, when we asked one of the waitresses it we were told its not my table. Manager then took my meal back after we explained to him. We then waited another 30 minutes for 3 meals. We attend chimneys every Christmas eve and have done for several years. We will now be looking else where

    Booked a table for 3 on a monday - arrived on time - and were seated , probably a 10 minute wait before drinks orders were taken , drinks arrived and we made menu choices - unfortunately the wait for the food was over 45 minutes , it was enjoyable when it arrived , but presentation and service weren't really up to scratch. I would return again as the food was good and well priced , just let down by slow service. We had booked in advance , but a table of 4 that arrived just before us , without a booking were served first and had all finished by the time we had got our food.

    Really lovely food and generous sized portions. The children's roast was a really good size. The staff were really friendly. There appeared to only be two members of staff working the tables, although they were busy they still took their time when with our table and didn't rush us, which was appreciated. Look forward to returning again.

    Great helpful friendly barman. Pool, darts etc good for kids. Accomodating for dogs. Food disappointing and sweary customers (fine in a pub setting just would avoid with kids). Would go again for a drink but not food.

    This was our second visit in three weeks to the restaurant and we were not disappointed. The service and food was extremely good. Our party of four chose from the wet evening menu which offered a wide range of dishes. Our starters were the king prawns followed by a range of main courses from steak and chicken to frittatas, all of which were served promptly. Our waitress was friendly and very professional and offered the finishing touch to an excellent evening.
