Easy to store and cook with instructions even I couldn’t get wrong. The quality and quantity of our Xmas dinner was amazing and better than we normally have (don’t tell the in laws)! read less

We’ve been coming to Mangetout since they were in the little place round the corner and it’s ace to see it go from strength to strength without forgetting that that main thing that matters is the quality of the food (and good service!). read less

Service was very good by the Girls, Efficient and the very important check back.
Food.., Fries and sweet potato fries excellent
Camembert bites, nice quality Cheese but came to the table cold
Burgers....Wow, packed out, but mine defeated me virtually impossible to use hands just too much going on, so had to use knife and fork half way through...BUT quality Burgers, Bacon and Cheese was the winner between the Chicken special one though, as that kept its self together with a real decent Beef patty.
Crab sliders...Mmm...well really can't see the buns are fresh baked as the menu says, again served cold and some parts of the bun hard,not really the taste I was expecting either wouldn't order those again, personal choice.
Wings....sticky Bourbon ? No sticky Bourbon sauce as such(see photo), passable, but not as described on the Menu.
Biggest let down...Mama's Ribs.....Looked fantastic, very meaty. but not saucy...but totally salty and the kitchen even added sea salt over the top (see photo), I eat anything but too salty for me even, sent back and the kitchen/Chef agreed and these taken off the menu at the time, so something went wrong, was offered the other version but we declined
Garlic bread excellent. and ALL portion sizes bigger than expected, right up my street
What saved the day was it was Buy one get one free on Burgers which I didn't know until the bill came, the agreement from the kitchen that the Ribs were not good, (obviously the Mama's ribs refunded as was the Wings unexpectedly) good service and good burgers.
Should have been 3 out of 5...but we got treated right,so its a 4 out of 5
will return to try again. read less

Arrived a little early for our table and we were met with quite a churlish front of house lady who lacked any warmth or welcoming.
We were directed to the bar and the guy that served us was great so thing were getting back on track.
We noticed that what looked like our table had been ready for some time but for some reason we were not taken to the table. Many people who came in after us were seated before us and in the end we were taken to said table 10 minutes late which we couldn't understand!
The menu is good and a great selection of food. We both plumped for the burgers and they both tasted really good. Our only point of contention is that the service is slow between courses.
If you get a better front of house then you'd get a 5 stars from me.
Food worth exploring as it is good. read less

This is the second time since it moved location
The food is back to its best
True cant fault the food
It was amazing
The portion was massive but the flavour was out of this world
And the menu has updated since we last visited and its as good as before the move if not better
As hard as that is to believe
I didnt like the app menu way to order
I totally understand businesses are trying different ways with the coronavirus
But it spoils the mood and you can't appreciate the menu reading it from your phone
Plus i find there isnt really any chance for any personal service
But the cold slaw is back!!! Which is a massive relief for me
I cant work out how they make it so nice read less

Stack out burgers and lots of (man vs food challenges) however the last year or so has been abit hit and miss and lacking staff which is a shame as being a business owner myself they are missing the most important ingredient. Last time we visited the waitresses that I know from previous weren’t serving food and taking orders but actually cooking and it seemed That they were holding the place together? They have recently relocated up the road but things still aren’t right in my opinion. read less

Delivery was faster than expected - ordered at 3.30pm Saturday, delivered by 4.20pm. We had a classic burger and Almighty burger (which was huge! missing the onion rings which was a shame, but still so tasty). The chunky chips are the best chips we’ve ever eaten and the chicken tenders were perfectly seasoned and cooked, really juicy. Even the blue cheese sauce and garlic mayo were gorgeous!! It is expensive, but the portions are huge and it’s worth every penny. Restaurant quality delivered to your door! They forgot one item, but I was able to message on WhatsApp and they were so apologetic and immediately refunded. Great food, great service, well packaged, smooth contactless delivery. We can’t wait to order again! Would highly recommend. read less

Never made it to the old venue but am now thinking I might have missed out. There was a new lunch menu that had plenty of choices. I opted for a Buffalo Chicken jacket potato and have to say was very impressed. The blue cheese dressing was excellent, complementing the spicy chicken really well. The side salad was tasty and, for me, just enough. Reasonable prices as well, meal for 3 with drinks a tad over £40 so @ £15 p/h to include service felt it was well worth it - I will be back read less

Great Roast! One of the best roast dinners I’ve had in a while, very attentive service and great atmosphere. Lovely evening.

Always a good atmosphere in here, particularly when it's busy of course.
The food is delicious & nicely presented. The staff are all very friendly & welcoming & we have got to know quite a few of them personally over the years.
They have a DJ Friday & Saturday night but for the moment do not have any live music on a regular basis. read less

Both was very enjoyable but I'd highly recommend the brisket. Then for mains we had the Almighty burger, Mama Fried Chicken, Loaded Smokehouse Fries and Onion Rings. My partner enjoyed the Almighty burger but had to take it home as it was so big. The Mama Fried Chicken burger and the Onion Rings was very nice. I would also highly recommend getting the Smokehouse Fries. Me and my partner shared them and every mouthful was amazing all the flavours. The only down point was we had to wait a long while for our main course. Which on previous occasions we didnt have to wait long. Also I ordered violet gin and tonic and received a parma violet cocktail. The first time I ignored it and drank the cocktail. However the lady made the mistake twice and I clearly said palma violet gin and tonic. I sent the cocktail back the second time so I could have what I had actually ordered. Apart from that we enjoyed our experience there like the two previous times. read less

Considering the global situation, there were quite a few tables full of people and I can understand why.
We each opted for a burger, ranging from Vegan, brunch and mama burgers, with fries. We all said how delicious they were, the fries were great, service was excellent too. Amazing burgers, we all left very full!
