The Phoenix

Got here at 20:52 and the woman behind the bar was lovely and checked with the chef if he'd still make us food as they finished serving at 21:00 and he did. All 3 of us had the Wednesday burger meal deal, a burger and a pint for £13.50 and it was delicious. I'm not a pickled Cabbage fan but it added a nice sweet element, the burger was cooked nicely, not dry at all and you get a good portion for what you pay. We thought it was going to be quite a small place but as you go through the back it opens up and there is a huge outside area. The music was also at the perfect volume so it didn't prevent conversation. Fantastic place, good food, lovely staff. Would definitely return.

Really great Sunday lunch .it’s improved a lot over the past year. The lunch plate changed about a year ago and the cabbage was terrible at the beginning (too strong of a “burnt” taste) but they have got the balance of the mustard seeds really well and the cabbage is really good now. The potatoes are crispy and the sweet red cabbage is beautiful. Yorkshire is fabulous and the gravy tops it all. Disappointing that there’s no turnip mash anymore but the overall lunch is honestly one worth experiencing. Meat is always good and although there is fat on the pork they add crackling pieces on top of the overall dish which is the best. I’ve had Sunday lunch at quite a few places (being someone from outside of England its been an intentional action to find a good Sunday roast place) and honestly the phoenix is the best. Pity they don’t sell roasts during summer but nonetheless I’ll be there on the first week of September when the start selling it again. I’m at the phoenix most Sundays because the lunch is honestly amazing.

Definitely highly recommend going on a Sunday for their roasts. Ordered the pork and hands down, one of my favourite roasts out there. The meat was tender, and their Yorkshire pudding plus gravy combo was heavenly. The atmosphere was decent the Sunday I went considering the weather, but was also there the Friday before and it was definitely more lively and fun. All and all, really great place to go for any occasions. Also, really love the interior decor. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Went to DYTM with a mate and Jamie and the bouncer were possibly two of the nicest staff members I've ever met. We didn't buy tickets so had to come back later but they remembered us and gave us great recommendations for were to go while we waited. Ended up having a great night and honestly can't remember ever having such genuine and lovely staff. Thanks so much to both of you for your heartwarming and ineffable hospitality. Will definitely be returning ❤️🏳️‍🌈
