The Sailmakers Pub And

We’ve been coming to sailmakers every week for a good year now but the last 3/4 times we hav eaten the steak skillets have been really bad the portions are just enough to feed a child our most recent visit 02/02/2024 we ordered a skillet it didn’t come sizzling like it should the food was cold I asked 3 times for peppercorn sauce which I’d paid for separately ! By the time it did my husband had finished his meal who also said his meal was cold and very small but ate it anyway as he was soo hungry . I complained to the waitress I’ll get you some more chips ? I explained I’d still not received my peppercorn sauce either she was gone ages in the meantime my food was even colder . She brought 2 bowls of hot chips out peppercorn sauce I said the rest of my food is cold my husband has eaten his she said you can still eat the chips I told her I want a refund I’m not paying for a child’s portion of food that is stone cold she said ok I’ll will have to take your meal away so she did and offered a free pudding ? Which I declined This will be the last time I eat in at the sailmakers !!! don’t know if they have a new chef and been told to cut back on portions 11 cold chips an 8oz Luke warm rump as big as the palm of my hand With a table spoon of peas half of tomatoe doesn’t even fill the skillet the plate just looks empty good job we ordered extras 4 pieces of scampi 5 onion rings what a insult

A fantastic place right at the side of the river with excellent views. The food came in quick time and was all excellent. We were served by a young man called Charlie who was very professional and looked after us to a very high standard all in all a thourougly enjoyable experience from start to finish

We arrived early staff very friendly. Ordered 3 coke zesros got Dr Pepper. Our starters came and the corn was cold. We ordered 3 Roast Beef Sunday lunch but when it came the cauliflower was mainky storks and hard, The Roast Potatoes were flat and the roast beef was very fattie.

I have eaten here on numerous occasions as I am a coeliac and you offer a good choice of gluten free meals. On a previous occasion I had the GF Chick n Mix, it was very good and good value for money. As I had enjoyed it so much we thought we would return last night, I wish I hadn’t. I had it last night and to say I was underwhelmed would be an understatement, two small pieces of chicken breast, which looked like a very small breast had been halved, a small white pot with pulled chicken thighs, if the meat in there was from two thighs I would be amazed if the chicken would have been able to stand! The jacket potato was ok, however, please get proper butter not some cheap nasty margarine. The mixed salad was nice. When the server cleared the plates they commented that everything had been eaten, when I replied that’s because it wasn’t a very big portion they sheepishly walked off. On balance I did get a discount using a blue light card so did I get a smaller portion because of this, although I have used it before and never had an issue. Plus point my wife had a steak and she enjoyed it very much. I wish now that I had taken a photograph, mine looked like a child’s portion compared to hers.

Service exceptional Very friendly Food excellent Quick service Highly recommend Will definatelty try again Lovely seating area outside we will try in summer
