Great centrally located venue. Nice wind in the willows theme. Food was pretty poor. For a breakfast it was more Morrisons cafe than Toad of toad hall! Disappointing

Booked well in advance, based on the excellent reviews I had read. We weren’t disappointed! Highly recommend the steak and haggis pie, especially. Loved the furnishings and ambience.

The ox cheek was superb, but rather small. The place is very cozy and service was great. Drinks were also good and fairly priced.

Where do I start! We ordered traditional turkey roast which comprised of 1 strip of carrot, 1 strip of parsnip, 2, yes 2, brussel sprouts, 2 roast potatoes, two pieces of turkey and two uncooked supermarket quality, pigs in blankets with gravy - all for a wholesome £24 each. When asked if everything was okay, I pointed out the supermarket quality, pigs in blankets were hardly uncooked, to be fair the waitress apologised, but that was it. I later questioned why only 2 brussel sprouts and was told “it’s because the meals are ... read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time today and although it looked really cute inside, I was left very disappointed. I ordered a roast dinner and as I ordered the beef I presumed this came with a Yorkshire pudding as other tables had yorkshires on theirs but when it arrived, there was no Yorkshire. This was strange to me as the table next to ours also had roast beef and they all had yorkshires on them so I don’t understand why I didn’t get one especially as that table ordered after us? My partner ordered a burger and... read more

We've been to the Badger & Co several times over the years and this was the most disappointing visit we have had. The table we had was poor, stuck in the corner of the restaurant. I ordered haggis and steak pie with mash. Unfortunately when it arrived I was told that it didn't come with any additional gravey, really!!!. I asked for some additional gravey and got a funny look off the member of staff. We won't be visiting again.
Business response:
Hi Chris, We’re really sorry to hear that your recent visit didn’t meet your expectations. Our 2 window tables are very popular, and with just 11 tables in total, they can get booked up quickly. We do our best to accommodate requests, and we’re sorry we couldn’t seat you there this time. We completely understand how much a cozy spot can enhance your experience, and we appreciate your understanding. The steak and haggis pie, it’s served with gravy inside the pie itself, but we’re always happy to bring extra on request—just li... read more
Didn't particularly enjoy the food, it was quite bland and unexciting. Service was fantastic.
Business response:
Patrycja, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the service! We’re sorry to hear that the food didn’t meet your expectations. Since your visit in February, we’ve updated our menu with new dishes and flavors, and we’d love for you to give us another try. We’re confident that your next experience will be much more enjoyable. Hope to see you again soon! Team Badger 🦡
Lovely restaurant, good service but the food was not as good. We had both pies and were expecting something impressive from the menu write up but they were small pastry topped dishes, not a pie. Dessert was nice.
Business response:
Stephanie, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere and service, but we're sorry the pies didn't meet your expectations. We aim to deliver a memorable dining experience, so it’s disappointing to learn that the dish didn't quite live up to the description. We appreciate your input and will certainly take it into consideration. It's great to hear the dessert was a highlight, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience next time! Team Badger x
