Reviews
However, on our latest visit, things were clearly stretched. We had a 2:15 pm booking on a busy Saturday, and the place was packed. After ordering drinks and two regular carveries, we were told to expect a 20-25-minute wait. In reality, it took closer to 45-50 minutes before we were called up.
When we got to the counter, a few items (like roast potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and sauces) had run out and needed restocking. Once everything was ready, though, the food was as delicious as ever, with the same high quality we’ve come to expect.
It seems the delays were simply due to how busy they were and the kitchen struggling to keep up. There’s a new kitchen extension being built, so hopefully this will help ease the pressure in future.
In summary: The Merry Monk remains a great, well-priced carvery, but just be prepared for longer waits during peak times. Go earlier in the day for the best experience.
We sat in the conservatory which was light and airey.
Literally everything on my plate was delicious. Special shout out to the honey glazed parsnips, layerd potatoes, cauli + broccoli cheese and the lovely tender beef.
Love the call out system that one table at a time gets called to the carvery and you will find your plates there ready for you, adding a civilised experience with no pressure to keep the queue moving so you end up with a delicious plate of your liking.
Just wish our waitress explained the system better as I was just looking for a plate to jump on the carvery and didn’t know there is a wait list
It’s fantastic customer service like that which will guarantee we return time and time again.
Thanks team. Brilliant.
Pleasant staff, quick stiff our drinks.
The food we had a carvery and it was absolutely delicious, all piping hot and the choice of veg was a delight, the meat was cooked to perfection
Would highly reccomend to anyone looking for a fantastic place to have lunch!
