5 /5 Maciek Matwiejszyn: We visited Ye Olde Six Bells today and there were definitely some positives. The pub itself is charming, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food we had was genuinely tasty. The steak and game pie was excellent, and it’s clear the kitchen knows what it’s doing.
Unfortunately, the experience was let down by the pricing. We asked if it was possible to order just a main dish from the festive menu, and were told this was fine. What we weren’t told was that we would still be charged the full two- course price, despite not receiving any starters. Paying £31.50 for a single main course, regardless of quality, didn’t feel fair or transparent.
Update: Following my review, the pub reached out and offered a refund, which I genuinely appreciate. It was handled professionally, and they explained it was simply a human error. A thoughtful gesture and good customer care, so credit where it’s due.
