It was very quiet on Wed eve at half term. We thought would be busier but there were more people sat in the conservatory area which looks out on to the back garden with table benches and a little playground.
The staff were all really lovely,friendly and helpful & service was quick. The table waitress was attentive & the bar staff really chatty & friendly.
The food can be a bit more expensive than a spoons for example but it is really good & plenty of it. I had the jackfruit wings they were great & tried some cheese pie & a bit of chilli- all really tasty.
Had a strongbow which is £5.20 per pint I think & sat outside later with a tub of icecream got 3 scoops & the banana split one was 🙌 wow. There seating outside to the front then round the side more family orientated near the enclosed playground with a little climbing frame etc for children.
It was very clean, nice atmosphere & the music was entertaining cos it would alternate between a song from around the 50s, or even late 40s that I knew from my grandma/parents singing it to modern day songs which completely messed with my head but in a good way lol.
Really enjoyed it & the kids go often & I'll definitely be going back.
We attended a dear friend's wake here with many friends and family.
We had lunch beforehand which was delicious and reasonably priced.
The staff, in particular Mia, were absolutely brilliant, they couldn't have been any more kind or helpful to us all. Serving a large number of people who were drinking and provided a good spread of buffet food.
In all, they were part of the whole thing and we're able to make the occasion an easier one.
Would definitely recommend using The Bowling Green for any occasions.
Excellent place for a family lunch. Plenty for the kids to do and food really good. There is a kid free area as well if that's what you want. Staff were all amazing even though they were short staffed, all doing multiple jobs to make sure the place kept running and keeping customer's happy. They are a credit to the pub!!
