Not cooked the way you want it

I went for a meal with my friend and we both had steak meals, I wanted mine medium and he wanted welldone, when the food came out mine was ok but his was still bleeding it was more bloody than mine, I asked them to take it back and cook it abit more, after 5 minutes it came back, still lots of blood coming out, he couldn't eat it like that. I wanted to complain but he didn't so we ate the bits we could and left, so disappointed.

Great staff and service all round

The staff went the extra mile to seat us and our dogs at a suitable table. Good atmosphere in a friendly local pub. The food was good, though you shouldn't expect top cuisine at these low prices!
Quiz night was good fun also, I just wish it could start a little later than 7pm.

Friendly pub with good grub

We’ve just had dinner in the Blossoms pub in Ansdell. The Sweet Chilli chicken served on a bed of roasted vegetables and Basmati rice was delicious. The staff although very busy are always friendly and helpful and we have a soft spot for Sophie who always greets us with a lovely smile and kind words.

The Blossoms, Ansdell

I recently visited The Blossoms pub in Ansdell with friends for breakfast. The Big Breakfast was excellent and great value for money. A member of the staff, Sophie, was very friendly and looked after us during our visit. The Blossoms is very clean we had great seats to watch the Australia v Lions rugby match.

Never a bad meal!

My partner and I have started going to The George in Gravesend, so far we have not had a bad meal. Usually I have a steak and my partner has a steak or a burger and the food is delicious and being on a skillet it is always hot.
We have been once on a Saturday night and the pub was noisy and there was a party so we now just go weekdays. We have never had to wait long and as you order at the bar you don't sit waiting around for service.

Booked on line but no booking on arrival. Treated badly.

Had some really devastating news today so booked a meal at the Spirit of Endeavor Boston. Booked online so should have been a breeze when we turned up.
We was told that there was no booking and told to sit at a dingy table on a busy corner.
I found my booking and showed staff. I was told there was no booking but they found a table that was just about ok. No apologies.
I felt let down and treated like we didn’t matter so I called the local football club Ellenders who accommodated us straight away and the service and food is unbeatable compared to the Spirit of Endeavor.
Not the first time we’ve been let down at the Spirit so won’t be going back.

Great pub and staff

The Blossoms, Ansdell, St Annes is a very nice, clean pub with some outdoor seating.
Have always had lovely meals here.
All staff and management are helpful and polite, but special praise to Debs.
Always friendly, greets customers with a nice smile, keeps busy, and makes customers feel valued.
Debs is a GREAT asset to Sizzling Pubs

Niceeee

Went to The Chestnut in Wolverhampton, the southern fried chicken starter was £5.99 and only had 3 small pieces of chicken so I don't recommend that. But the "Old Faithful" burger was great! Big burger and came with chips. Service was fast and the servers were friendly. Recommend getting the app for a free drink👍🏻

I went to see clinton baptiste at the cleveland arms(wolverhampton). What a great night. Thanks to the manager i believe his name was matt or will(forgive me if i got that wrong) who was super helpful in getting me ticket for the show. The staff were polite and helpful the venue is a gem of a place to go and the punters were all friendly. Clinton baptiste was hilarious and alex lowe the person was a fantastic person to meet. The cleveland arms puts on many events to meet stars so keep your eyes open for them. Thank you all for putting on such events for the public and the great charity work you do.sorry about the late review too. I will be back again. A fantastic pub/venue to visit.

Used burger van at kids football tournament at the ranch playing fields, burgers were good, hot dogs really soggy and the advertised home made chips were terrible, under cooked and were certainly not home made.
