Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Patrons enjoy The Tankard for its impressive beer selection and great value for money—an essential combination for pub goers. The friendly staff consistently receives praise for their attentive service, enhancing the warm atmosphere.

Live music events create an electric vibe, drawing in crowds and adding to the pub experience. Many appreciate the cleanliness of the venue, which makes the dining experience more enjoyable.

The Sunday delivery lunch has also garnered attention, noted for its quality and punctual service. These little treats make The Tankard a beloved local spot.

Most Disliked

Some guests mention busy evenings, particularly Saturdays around 8 PM. Navigating through the crowd might be less than pleasant for those seeking a quiet dining experience.

While the patio is a great addition, some feel that outdoor seating could be expanded to accommodate more guests, especially during warmer months. This could enhance the overall experience, particularly for those who prefer al fresco dining. Also, some patrons have pointed out that while the menu offers variety, they wish for more vegetarian options to cater to broader tastes.

We called in for a brunch breakfast. It was excellent, good quality sausages, thick bacon, 2 eggs, good quality bread used for the toast, it was faultless - it's the 1st breakfast we've had for a long time where the mushrooms were cooked perfectly - not deep fried! Clean comfortable seating, friendly, nice atmosphere. We will definitely be back to sample more of your menu.

Lovely place, will definitely call again. Was just passing and looking for food but as we were late and there was a function on the guy behind the bar was very apologetic and suggested The Wynnstay Hotel for food (which was amazing) thanks for the suggestion and your help
