The Golden Ball

We had a fabulous meal for 5 last night. The best pub meal I can remember. I had fish and chips. The fish was huge. The chips crispy. Mushy peas and tartar sauce finished it off nicely. My friends had a salad, curry, pie and pizza. Everyone was very happy with the food and the service from Louise & Bev.

Nothing. The quality of the food is great Having a voucher is good as well

Excellent Sunday dinner, trio was spot on, the Mrs had sea bass and loved it. Lovely pub, very friendly staff.

Excellent service and friendly staff, I have dined at a few high end restaurants and this was most certainly up there with the best of them for perfection, will certainly recommend and visit again

Lovely Sunday lunch,staff very friendly and good service

We have been before as a family as we enjoyed the busy friendly atmosphere... However on this occasion it was not as enjoyable! It was very busy, and we had to wait at our table (15mins ish) before getting a drink, BUT this was not the issue! The issue was when we came to order our drinks, I myself ordering a bottle of wine, for me and my daughter. At this point the server asked for some ID. which in itself is completely normal... not on this occasion. She stood gawking at the ID for at least 3 mins, saying to my daughter "born in 2001 were you"???? and holding it towards the light so she could "see better"!!! When she had eventually finished I said "Wow" that was intense! Which she replied, "yeah well I have to be sure" Let me just start by saying I completely understand the importance of ID checks and the management of under age drinking is something I fully support! However, my daughter is 22, and looks it! and for her to be humiliated like that in the middle of a busy restaurant in my opinion was completely unnecessary! We were out as a family having a meal on a Friday night in Whiston for goodness sake! having a glass of wine with her meal! Like I said originally I fully support ID Checks but just a word of advice...Teach your staff to ask for its respectfully!! We wont be revisiting...

My friend had to send a steak sandwich back as it was chewy, but it was dealt with efficiently and without a fuss, she ordered a chicken burger and it was really good. We all had a good experience.

Food was nice. No issue with service other than it was busy and they looked a bit under staffed on the day we visited.

Service was good and very helpful, bar staff friendly and inviting. I was driving so would have been nice to have had a couple of Guinness 0%

Very good food. Quick, efficient and friendly service. Good choice of food and drinks.
