"Popped in for a drink as we've driven past the place a few times and the funky outdoor pods caught our eye. As expected, it's a really nice looking venue inside and out a mixture of cosy traditional pub and modern bar. Inside, it's quite snug broken into three rooms which all looked to have an emphasis on food. Outside, there's a large garden area with plenty of benches and a decent sized area for young kids. plenty of parking available. The pods looked really nice and looked suitable for large and small groups. Didn't try the food but everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked really good. Drinks were expensive and the bar service was quite slow."

"Disappointed this time whent today at 1pm, when we've been before the place has been very busy, not this time ,to say it was a Bank Holiday, it was very quiet, ther was only a couple in at 1 pm, the bartender told us the special was fish pie, we don't eat red meat, the wife doesn't like batter on fish, so she ordered the fish pie I had fish and chips, my dinner ok, but the wife's fish pie to much salt, not much fish a lot of mash cheese, the seasonal veg nearly cold, but worst of all was the bartender came to the next table said the special was fish pie chicken mushroom pie, now if he had told us that we both would have had it,that's our favorite, have a chance next week."

"We had a fantastic dining experience last night! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was excellent. The extensive gluten-free menu offered a delightful selection of hot cheese starters, and the steak and ale pie was delicious—perfectly cooked alongside well-prepared vegetables. It was just what we needed for a chilly winter evening. The lovely ice cream served in a charming sunflower bowl was a perfect finishing touch. Dining in a combination of a cookhouse and brewery is always a treat!"

"First time we have visited this restaurant, we booked a table and on the first impression it looked lovely, we chose a starter and main course, when the starter come it was fairly nice but nothing spectacular, we ordered the chateaubriand at a cost of £85 which was for 2 people which celebrating a special occasion we accepted; when the main meal come out it was slightly disappointing the chips where like very standard frozen oven chips from Iceland and the steak was very basic, I’ve had a lot better for a lot less; the most disappointing bit of the night was the very basic trained staff, not once through the night did we get asked if the meal was cooked fine or to satisfaction ,! When the staff come to collect the dishes they just said have you finished!!!! And to add insult to the poor staffing they automatically added a 10% sevice charge to the bill which I have no problem leaving a tip if it’s up decent standard which this obviously wasn’t, It was such a shame as it looks like the owners have spent a lot of money on the restaurant but not spent the money on the staff training."

"If you're in Calverton or even nearby, you must visit Fishable. They offer both takeout and dine-in options. The staff is incredible, and the food is freshly cooked, delicious, and served piping hot. There's a large selection of cod, squid, cakes, and all the classic chip shop favorites, as well as kebabs. I tried the cod and chips with mushy peas (from the kids' menu, haha), and it was wonderfully crispy with no greasiness at all. I highly recommend it! The restaurant and dining area are immaculate, making it a lovely place to enjoy your meal."
