Mr Thomas's Chop House

Had a Sunday lunch here yesterday and the food and atmosphere was very good. The service was a little on the slow side, but bearable. We had the roast beef dinner and there was certainly plenty of beef on the plate, maybe even too much. We could have done with a little less beef and more vegetables. Unfortunately, the gravy was a bit tasteless. But overall we enjoyed the meal and would go back again. £15 for a roast dinner does seem a little on the high side too. A little thing that annoyed us was a beer on our bill which we didn't have, but they did quickly remove it. We always find it annoying when service is added to the bill which it is here.

Love this place both for drinks in the pub area and for the food. The quality of food is good and a nice size, service has been great and the bill is spot on (£70.00 fro two courses and two wines for two peeps). Downside is always ask for a wine cooler as the wine is often warm but otherwise a weekly treat!

I would not recommend this restaurant especially if you want to book. I booked 2 weeks in advance and turned up fifteen minutes early. They did not have us down on the booking. The man at front of house made no attempt at apology. made a phone call and said 'okay then' . I said does that mean you want us to come back at six and he said yes. We came back a few minutes before six and he had given our table away. Once again he made no attempt at an apology saying that he called our name but we weren't there.

We could have had a long wait for another table - this together with the rudeness influneced my decision not to eat there. It also looked very cramped in the eating area so you would feel very close to the people on the next table.

I therefore have no idea what the food is like but but i definately wouldn't eat there if I was paid to.

The staff at Thomas's always make you feel welcome. That is why i have been going in the place for 20+ years. Derek and Sharon run a tight ship and if there is anything you are not happy about, tell them and it will not happen again! You don't ask, you don't get !

Steak and kidney pud is my favorite, along with the corned beef hash and fish and chips. All the food is great and the wines are usually up to scratch.

Myself and 14 of my fellow builders are going in at Christmas for a bite to eat before we hit the town and i can't wait ! Merry Christmas fellow Chop Houser's.
