"Had food on the 8th of December, Had the ribs to start. Was tasty with a good portion size, it came with side salad and purple coleslaw. Not knowing the portion sizes I ordered a side order of onion rings, which were also very nice. For main, I had the 20 oz T bone steak. The steak was huge. either other places had been skimping on the steak or this place is generous, either way it was cooked to perfection. I had it with chips. The chips come on a separate bowl and the steak was accompanied with a side salad on the plate. At this point I was rather full but I pushed myself to have the desert, which i chose melted Nutella with brownie. We opted for an extra side of ice cream with it. Again the pudding was delicious. The price in my opinion was well worth it. Service was great. No long delay for food and the food was delicious. Overall a great first experience and will be back. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £60–70 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: BBQ Pork Ribs, Steak and Lobster"

"A truly fantastic restaurant. Been wanting to come here for ages and finally had the chance. It’s so nice going to a pub and not having to worry about which menu choices are vegan, because EVERYTHING is! Proper meaty pub classics, and great range of deserts too. I had the Juicy Marbles steak which was amazing. The homemade chips were lovely too. Deserts were beautiful too! Service was excellent. Dog friendly too. Very friendly team, and a lovely owner also. Will definitely be coming back. I wish them every success and a huge well done for having the guts to become a 100% vegan pub and restaurant. Thank you for a lovely meal and dining experience :"

"The breakfast was enjoyable and cooked well. The staff were friendly, and the service was reasonably timely. However, it felt quite pricey. We ordered a large and a medium breakfast along with two cans of Coke. When you order a can, which is displayed on the counter and seems to be around £1, you actually end up being charged £2.40 for a glass instead. When paying by card, you're prompted to leave a tip with four options, starting at 10%. My daughter, being too polite, selected the 10% tip when they mentioned there would be a question before entering your PIN. In the end, the total came to over £26 for two breakfasts and two Cokes. While the quality of the breakfast was enjoyable, the overall value felt lacking."

"We recently reserved this venue for a wake and were thoroughly impressed. The food was beautifully presented, fresh, and offered a good variety. Although we booked for thirty people, everyone had more than enough to eat, and there was plenty left over. The atmosphere was delightful, and we had exclusive use of the front area. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to assist us. I highly recommend this place for any gathering you might need. It offers excellent value for a very reasonable price. Food: 5/5."

"My husband booked the Open Hearth so we could go out as a family for my birthday. It had been a lovely sunny day so we did anticipate that the place would be busy. However, as we had booked the table they knew we were coming so we assumed that that would be sufficient with regards to the service etc. On arrival, we were greeted and shown to our table. The gentleman then proceeded to fire off a load of things on the menu that we couldn 't have as they had run out of ingredients. We put that to one side and ordered our food. We waited a little while for our food but as the bar area was so busy we just put it down to that. In the end, it was the kitchen staff who ended up bringing our food out. The food was ok, just basic 'pub grub '. My husband 's steak was supposed to be cooked medium but it ended up coming out well done. The staff were so busy, there was no one really to approach about this and he didn 't want everyone else 's food to go cold so he ate it. After finishing our food one of the girls from behind the bar cleared our plates away and asked if we wanted dessert. We said yes and waited for her to bring the menu. It never arrived. Eventually the same girl came back and asked again if we wanted desserts and again we said yes. We were given the menu and waited to order. Again, no sign of anyone so I went looking for someone to order our desserts. I noticed on the specials board that they were doing a dessert with strawberry ice cream so I asked if I could just have a dish of strawberry ice cream for my little boy. They checked with the kitchen and apparently we couldn 't have that, we could only have whippy ice cream! Desserts finally ordered and we waited. My husband and son had their desserts brought to them and we waited for my dessert. We waited and waited and waited..........After my husband and son had finished their dessert we were then informed by the gentleman behind the bar that they couldn 't bring my dessert as they were serving food to other tables! I was shocked. Surely, you should finish serving one table before proceeding to the next. By the time my dessert arrived we were just ready to go home. I explained that I didn 't want my dessert as it had arrived too late. The girl who brought it did apologise but it was too late. I sent it back and asked for the bill. There wasn 't ever an offer off taking any money off the dessert as it had arrived so late. They were obviously happy just to scrape it in the bin rather than try to make amends. We paid the bill and left. I have noticed on a previous review that someone has said the same thing about the service and the response from the Open Hearth was that they prioritise their booked tables over their walk ins. However, that certainly was not the case for us. We booked the table over a week before we turned up and we arrived in good time yet they prioritised other food over completing our order. Surely it is basic practise to complete one order before proceeding to the next. Unfortunately, the whole experience was not enjoyable and we all came away very disappointed. We will note be returning again nor will we be recommending it."
