The Griffin Inn At Eccleston

Visited this evening (5.30pm) for a meal. As soon as we arrived we were told they would need table back for 7.00pm as quiz is on. We said that’s ok as we’re just having one course. I had family visiting from Canada and Ireland and wanted to take them to a nice English pub for dinner. We were sat in a tiny cubby at a table at back entrance. With two men sitting at table beside us who we didn’t know, for such a small compact space…it was a bit odd to sit two separate parties in this one little space which only has two tables.

We went to the griffin for my birthday meal which i might add everytime we have been there before was amazing but tonight well i dont know where to start! I had steak which i always do the mushroom was greasy, vine tomatoes where basically had lack of oxygen my shallot was half dead... fish batter was very wet n could taste grease... chips do not get me started on them first batch was burnt when they changed them the 2nd batch was raw... nicest part of the meal was onion rings.... our waiter didnt catch his name was a lovely young lad who tried his best even sung happy birthday to me when he brought my cake out which we purchased elsewhere. Overall very disappointing visit... go as far as sa...

First visit, looks gorgeous on the outside and clean inside but won't go again. Overcharged for items, food just overpriced pub food, staff unhelpful and unprofessional. Had issues with a rude staff member and spoke with the so called manager who was not interested at all, didn't ask who the member of staff was so obviously this happens a lot.

We have visited this restaurant four times since the new Manager and Head Chef joined the team and introduced a new menu. During our latest visit, I started with the Queen Scallops, which were cooked perfectly and incredibly juicy.

Second visit this year and yet again was charged for both food and drink we had not had. Please if going check your receipt before paying. Food average but service poor. Second time this year but will not be going again
