The food was nice well the main meal was anyway. My whole table had there dessert before I had mind.The staff had an attitude when serving are table. I don't expect to be looked down at when being served the food. When my dessert didn't turn up at my table went up to the bar and the bar staff said it wasn't order but we did order it because the clap behind the bar said there was only one left so as it was my birthday I didn't get what I wanted. Many thanks Martin

Empty glasses on nearly every table.My table and menus were sticky (had to wipe them down )Bar was sticky and a mess and there was food plates everywhere so did not know where to sit.Food come out and was not given a knife and fork and there was no check back on the food.Food was OK but the misses said that the onion rings were not very nice at all.All in all I would not come back!!!!!

Coming back from the hospital we ventured into this place we had passed countless times. Plenty of parking. Lots of seating with distinct difference between restaurant and bar. They have deals on drinks but not much on Saturday for food. Our burgers were freshly cooked. Drinks not cheap. I gave it 3 stars because it cost 24 quid for two burgers and drinks and the music was far too loud for a sat lunch.

Absolutely love the food here; the Hunter's Chicken is my go-to dish (I've never tasted another chicken so succulent and juicy). The gammon is also exquisitely tender and the portion is plentiful.The staff are quick as a whip, and the bartender was especially good seeing as he was single-handedly making drinks and taking orders from 10 or so people simultaneously.Coming from a harsh critic, I cannot recommend the Air Balloon enough ?

We went to another pub where we was messed about local to my parents. My brother who was over from Australia said about the air balloon. As we went the previous week for my bday and he really enjoyed it.I took the pun and rang at 6pm asking for a table for 6. Wow what service James answered the phone and managed to find us a table.We turned up and I completely forgot to say one of my family is in a wheelchair user. My big mistake. James had reserved us a high table. I apologised to James and he found us another table.We sat and had fantastic food/drink.Staff asked us numerous time if we was happy. Honestly couldn?t fault anything. Actually there is something. James and the staff at air balloon needs a payrise.Thank you for making our last family meal for the next couple of years enjoyable and scrummy.Thank you team air balloon and thank you James.Parking: Good disabled parking and access

Green king pub with plenty of parking and a good size indoor area.We stopped for lunch and everything was fine. Bar service was a bit confusing with some forming a queue but then just walked up avoiding it?My daughter has already been back again since for the chicken

Food was rather disappointing and we were stuck in a corner ? appreciate its Xmas but even so ... coffee machine wasn't working so we couldn't get a hot drink either. I had a nice time though because I was with my lovely friend ?

Staff attentive and very pleasant and drinks ok. Food was bad, the meat was burnt and tasted like the metal plate where it was served, would not recommended food in here.

Very pleasantly surprised. Not been here in over 20 years! Warm welcome on arrival and very nicely done out. Felt warm and comfortable. Great seating and atmosphere. Ordered via the app. Drinks very quickly arrived as did the food. Ordered from the classic menu, 2 for £12.99 and couldn't believe the value for money. Food cooked to perfection. Waitress was lovely and checked back to see if all OK or anything else needed. Didn't realise it was a greene king pub and was really impressed overall with the food, service, value and feel of the pub. Would highly recommend and will certainly be back.

Came during a very busy time, was short staffing issue was obvious, but all staff worked hard and smiled. Esp bar lady whom handled the que for food and drinks, then cleared tables, total credit to her whom deserves credit ? food arrives and no complaints. Good value for money.Parking: Plenty space visible from inside.

Just had a meal at this venue. So glad they have brought the golden years menu back. It is enough on a lunchtime for us. I had the chicken Diane & my husband & mother had cooked breakfast. It was all cooked lovely & the service & staff are excellent.Thank

Decent pub with food and screens to view football.We arrived to watch a game and found almost all the tables were reserved for guests arriving 2 hours ahead, effectively half of the pub was empty.This was not an issue as the landlady was very kind and quickly sorted out a table for us and others who came to watch the game.So dont be turned off by all the reservations, they are very reasonable and will help you out

We went to the air balloon around 6:30pm on the 23rd of September and when we got there asked if the South Africa Vs Ireland rugby match was playing which kicked off at 8:00pm that night and we were assured that it did by the bar staff and sat next to the TV that we were told was playing the match. One of our group was disabled and therefore we asked before we sat down and had a ordered and food or drink to ensure that we would be able to watch the game, if not we would?ve gone to another pub to be able to watch the rugby without having to make another journey; which without a taxi whole not have been possible for the disabled member of our party. We then ordered drinks and a meal and just before 8pm, when we expected them to change over to the channel to show the rugby, we again questioned if they were going to show the rugby and were informed that someone wanted to watch the football so they couldn?t play the rugby on one of their many TVs. We did complain however they said they could not do anything. We ended up at another pub which was showing the rugby and was very accommodating however this could have been avoided had the manager spoken to us about the rugby not being played especially as it states online that it was going to show the rugby. It made us feel very unwelcome and put the disabled member of our party in a very difficult position as they could not easily move around. I was incredibly disappointed with the service, and although the bar staff were very helpful and apologised the manager was incredibly rude and unapologetic.following on from the response,looking at the poster on the wall how can you be showing the rugby and the football on at the same time when the matches clash.the poster in the pub states that you will be showing both matches tomorrow? how will you amend this issue before tomorrow ?

Great service, brilliant friendly staff, food is tops with good variety, at decent prices, service by app if you want it, lots of sports on or the quieter (large) restaurant section if you prefer it. Heated covered outside at the front plus a covered beer garden at the back. Lots of parking. Great place.

Air balloon is a good atmosphere pub, nice food and lovely staff. The bar staff are experts at their crafts and know how to put a smile on my face. I can't fault this place at all, welcoming staff and decent food and drinks!
