Recently this chain pub has improved somewhat. It has a much more comprehensive menu recognising vegan and vegetarian needs and extending their broader offer. Staff appear more thoughtful, helpful and motivated. Also good value.

Tablet booked, seated as requested with ventilation. Tablet was a bit small for 4, l thought. Meal was 15mins wait. Cooked well, vegetables disappointing, only green beans and carrots! Choices were excellent, we all chose 2 course menus. Great value for money

We have used the Bowling Green pub twice in the last month for Sunday lunch and cannot praise it too highly. This is fine dining at pub prices. Every member of staff so obviously well trained, from bar staff to table service.Well done to Emma Mathews and the management team, please keep it up.

This week I have been to The Bowling Green twice. Both times have been fantastic. Fabulous food, friendly staff and fast service. 6 of us went on Friday for dinner, all the meals were delicious and the puddings too! Looking forward to going again soon 😁
