Had high hopes based on the 4.4 star reviews but was honestly really disappointed by the food. We ordered the Tuscan chicken pasta, Jagershnitzel and beef burger. Had to send back the pasta as it tasted overwhelmingly of mustard and inedible. Schnitzel was a bit bland and the burger was extremely oily. Waitress was lovely, but we left still hungry and £55 poorer.

The Moule were incredible. They were large and tasty, and the sauce was stunning. The burger for main was OK, the bun was tough but french fries a bit cold and chewy.
Service I found a bit slow but not too bad.

Great old pub, the food looked nice, but we didn't eat. It even had a pint of my local beer, Otter Ale! Friendly and helpful staff, knowledgeable about the pub and local area, will definitely go back and eat 👍

Cosy pub in the parish of St Johns, visited for food and drinks. Service was good, food was lovely, fresh and full of flavour.

Highly recommend and would visit again when in Jersey.

We were driving round sightseeing and looking for somewhere to have lunch. We checked on Google reviews for this Tavern and they were full of praise for the service and food. We were not disappointed. The service was very helpful and friendly and polite, especially the waitress Laura. The food choice was very good and reasonable prices. I had the Fritto Miso which was on the special board. I've never tried it before, but I will definitely have it again, it was fantastic. There was breaded scampi, battered calamari, battered King prawns, cod fillet and chips, side salad and aioli. The batter on the fish was lovely and very crunchy, so much so that you could hear it as you bit into it! The wife had 1/2 roast chicken and chips and she was equally impressed.
