Ember Inns Arvostelua 

Looked for an Ember inn close to Potters Bar and found the Ridgeway Tavern.
Worse steak we have ever had.
Asked for well done steak and ended up with cremated black flaking steak which was impossible to cut and could not be chewed.
Won't be going back.

The Crown- Ember Inns-Shirley -Greater London firstly i fancied a Sunday lunch ,as in the past when we went to the Toby it was awful- we decided never to go there again ! ! I thought we ( My son , myself and my sons best friend ) would try somewhere a little more local, id looked on line for the prices and to see if they did a veggie option , and reasonable portions for the price, and all seemed in order. This Sunday was overcast but warm so we diecided to sit outside , Outside in the Crown is a lovely large garden seated area, so we prdered some non alcoholic drinks, which was ok and found a table and ordered . I found out at 4pm they had run out of all the vegetarian options, which wasnt a great start , and so i had to get thme to ask the chef if he could put scampi with my roast , the chef ( if you could call him that ) agreed, So my Son and his mate orderd the sharing dinner ( chicken and ham ) two meats, and veg and potatoes, meant for sharing , but its not big enough to share, so they had one each - and i had a mix up of scampi and veg , and potatoes, . Its describes as coming with a rich gravy - lumpy gravy ! The roast potatoes were overdone to a crisp and had no potato inside, ( i had asked fro roast potatoes over new potatoes, which they didnt adhere to ,, so i actually had potatoes, not puffs of crunch )and the veg wasnt cooked properly , some over cooked some undercooked , quite frankly it was revolting !
I decided that after that revolting roast , id try some of their desert , i thought it cant be as bad , - it was- it was shop bought, i had a caramel cheese cake which was supposed to be with raspberries, and it came with black currants , the boys had sticky toffee pudding, which we all agreed was shop bought, and birds eye custard
! The whole price for the drinks and the food was about £68.00 for the three of us , and i will not ever eat there again ! As a pub its quite nice, the food is abysmal !!!-really not a great experience.as they also didnt h ave non alcoholic Gin, and had non alcohoic guiness and lager, and there was quite alot theyd run out of , ok it was 4pm, but not everyone eats at lunchtime , ! I wont be eating here again , may have the odd drink , or pop in for a psychic night , but the food in april was horrible and it hadnt improoved by June 2024!

The mains (roasts) were shocking especially on fathers day cold & microwaved

Burnt starter of garlic ciabatta bread. Response. Sorry about that. No 'ill feed that back to the chef' or any further comment. Empty words.

Having being a daily regular customer for years spending a small fortune as a drinker and not a diner, the latest revamp of the so called "Loyalty App" has effectively ignored drinkers in attempts to boost poor food sales which is an insult and disrespectful by only awarding the odd discount if not willing to order food!!. It's about time regular customers were treated with respect and given recognition for support to the trade on a regular basis with a real Loyalty discount card !!!

TERRIBLE service due to lack of ingredients, mixed orders, lengthy waits, cold food, what more? A complete embarrassment to all.
I recommend everyone NOT to use Ember Inns.This was The White Horse , Chelmsford.

Bramley Cottage. Ale and wine choice good. Food was fine. New menu has higher prices as with everywhere else and just a few new items. Mini pud no longer includes Smarties which was something unique to Ember have been ditched. Even the Vintage inns (Up market M&B chain) didn't do that.

THE EMBER INN IN MONKSEATON, IS A MUST VISIT. SET IN A LOVELY LOCATION. THE STAFF, FOOD, AND PRICES, ARE GREAT. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED. THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HELP YOU.

OMG, what are Ember doing to the food. The public house (name withheld) is very good, but the food is not. To me it seems to be warmed up frozen ready meals costing a few quid from a supermarket. I had a Sunday roast off the new improved menu, it was barely warm & the gravy boat was even less so. We have eaten here in the past with the family but it hasn't improved much on the food side. Would love to know how the meals are prepared & cooked. We'll go back for a drink occasionally but we definitely won't be eating there again.

Victoria maybank Newcastle staffs , only gave them one star because that’s the lowest score, waited 45 minutes for supposed to be shepherds pie just some mush in a bowl looked like it had been under a heat lamp for hours also told me they had run out of vegetables so I got a spoon full of peas that’s it at 3 pm so it wasn’t late , everyone else meal was very poor too , been a couple of times service very slow but this is a new low if that was possible for the Victoria, I honestly don’t know how they keep in business such a great shame lovely looking pub , I will never go again they have had there chance .

My wife and I stopped eating at the Hollybrook Littleover Derby as the food was really badly cooked and mostly burnt. We gave it another try today, what a mistake. We ordered off the lunchtime 2 for £10.99. Crispy mushrooms and cream sauce. When they arrived they were burnt. Couldn’t put a fork in them. We sent them back and waited for another lot. Next lot were marginally better but we settled for them. So greasy the fat poured out of them and left a bad taste in the mouth. Our main course of Ham Egg and chip’s arrived. The two fried eggs were raw and snotty, peas so hard and inedible. Ham fatty and really tough to cut and eat. Chips were ok. We thought about sending them back but what would the next lot be like and time was getting on then. We wondered why the pub was so empty, now we knew. We won’t be back ever again, which is a shame as the pub itself is ok.

what made my experience great was Ember Inns Bottomless Brunches which are outstanding they're amazing please bring them back they're so so popular with customers thats one of the best deals you do please bring them back i was hoping to book for my mums BIG birthday.
BRING BACK BOTTOMLESS BRUNCHES

Being Saint Patrick's Day I decided to treat my girl to lunch in the best restaurant in London.
The Stag and Hounds in N9 did not disappoint.
There can't be a better manager than Benji anywhere.
The food is very good and the staff are friendly.
God on, treat yourself and those dear to you.
You will not regret it.

Food was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Top marks to Jackie. Went above and beyond to make sure allergies were adhered to, and very smiley too!!

A pleasant place to spend your time , nothing is too much trouble the bar staff females in particular are attentive and customer focused ,service is always of the highest quality, food is very good with a wide variety of choice .. overall as a consumer a very good experience in a beautiful old Victorian building of history .

Just .. need to say .. a chef called Kerry in the stag & hounds Edmonton .. made our lunch . It was absolutely delicious & well presented..
we normally just go for drinks . But will always now be eating there ..,

Thanks to Scott at the bar at the Country Girl for making us feel welcome. Food and drink very good tonight.

Today at The Sandringham, Bristol we were served by Ashleigh.
She greeted us (and our dog) with a genuine smile, and served our drinks.
Later she popped to the table to check everything was alright.
She pops around the pub with a cheery song to herself.
Thank you Ashleigh, for making us feel welcome, and appreciated.

Visited Ember inns Formby site (The Railway) with famiy and was shockingly appalled. The food was awful, after paying over £80 for meals we had them arrive uncooked and not as ordered. We were amazed to find that after paying £12 for a (substandard) burger, we were then expected to pay extra for barbecue sauce?! Even Mcdonalds give this for free! The staff were surly and unhelpful and the barman was more interested in chatting up an old lady at the bar than serving customers. No staff came over after the meals were served, I assume they have learnt better than to ask customers how their food was. This was honestly the worst meal I've ever paid for and wouldn't return if the meals were free.

20th Jan 2024 Sandringham in Downend Bristol. Table pre-booked for 730pm, upon arrival told an hour's wait for food. Order placed, no effort made by staff to show us to our table, no effort made by staff to clear our table full of empty bottles & glasses. Food duly arrived an hour+ later. 3 mixed grills, almost inedible steak and gruesome sausages. Not an enjoyable experience at all for almost £100. Absolute rubbish.
