I am going to give a Four as overall the food deserved the score however elements of the service could have bought the score down. We booked in for a late Sunday lunch at 4 pm but were assured on the phone that it would still be available. Once sat down we were told there were limited portions of Lamb and Pork available but as we ordered straight away we could have them. 10 minutes later the waiter came back and said sorry they had all gone but they did have Beef left so three of us ordered this. The meals were then served but without Yorkshires, despite the description on the menu including. We asked where the Yorkshires were and the waiter went away and came back 5 minutes later to say they had run out of them even though a simple batter mix is easy to make. As we are from Yorkshire this was very disappointing and with the meat situation and this we may have ordered something else off the menu of we had known. The beef was well cooked and the majority of the vegetables good but the Roast Potatoes were smothered in Garlic and maybe too much for the majority of people. One of our party had the Lamb Rogan Josh and said it was excellent. The Fullers beers were well kept but the Sticky Toffee Pudding was not the best and they had put chocolate sauce on it too, even though this was not mentioned in the menu description. So maybe 4 is too high and 3.5 should be better but i am trying to put the facts over. The other food coming out of the kitchen looked good and maybe the waiter was just trying to get rid of the last of the roast beef!

Staying at Ibis Budget approx 5mins drive away before flying to Heathrow in the morning. Did a search of local area, so glad we found this place and chose to come! It’s a traditional pub, cute decor but menu has a twist. There is the usual ‘pub classics’ but also some authentic Indian dishes. We had the Chicken Tikka Biryani - portion was huge, chicken was so tasty - loved it and the Lamb Rogan Josh - the lamb was so tender! We also tried the Pizza Samosas which were amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area, my only disappointment is that it’s not at all local to us so I can’t come back again!

Very good food among local people. It is a restaurant appreciated by local customers, but we also liked it very much. Good comfort food, employees fun and an interesting map. Trip Tip: save yourself some room for Sticky toffee pudding. It is to fall on the ground (with ice cream).

I turned up at this place after making reservations for dinner. When we arrived we were plonked on a high table in the pub section, the waiter who took our order did not bother to inform us that it would take at least 45 mins for our food arrive- as most decent pubs would do. We had starving kids waiting over an 1 hr and when questioned the waiter merely shrugged and said they were busy. Order was taken wrongly as well. Do not recommend going to this place at all Very poor service.

Dear Customer Thsnk you for visiting and taking the time to review. We are sorry you didn't enjoy your experience with us on the night in question. As you would have seen it was busy and we did well to accomodate your booking in the first place but got swamped with extra people due to an event at the college across the road unexpectedly. That said you are correct, the waiter should have said something to you regarding food timings and we hope you accept our apology on this occasion. We will be speaking to all our staff who usually (and should always) relay this info to guests. Things did go wrong that night for you and that is not the norm. We know you have based this review on the service but sincerely hope when you finally received it, you enjoyed the food.

We only live 3 miles away on the other side of the (Heathrow) airport, and never visited Cranford. But what a find! Very friendly, well run pub. The Fullers London Pride real ale served by pump is crystal clear and in excellent condition. Full marks on that. But I then tried the Queen's Chicken Makhani curry and was also very impressed. Authentic food by an authentic Indian chef, but was told his fish & chips are the best! Bottom line: We will be going back.

My three children and I visited this restaurant and was very excited to do after reading the reviews. I must say that the lamp chops, fish n chips and curry chicken were great! However, the salmon was not good. Both of my daughters ordered the salmon, one daughter ate some of it because she does not feel comfortable sending food back, the other daughter just could not eat it and asked if she could order something else. The manager came out to tell her that she still needed to pay for the salmon, satisfied or not. It was not so much of him telling her that, it was his tone, totally disrespectful, sarcastic, and not at all interested in making the customer happy. This was the worst I have ever seen from a manager, and I have been in the restaurant industry myself. If you expect great service along with your food, don't go here!

Dear Customer. Thank you for your review. As discussed with you on the day and on other review sites already. We couldn't possibly exchange a perfectly cooked dish because your daughter changed her mind after one bite. Your other daughter had the same dish with no complaint so we do not think the blame is at our end. You also mention that your other food was great. Thank you. Restaurants would go out of business acting in the manner you demand. Had the fault been at our end we would always try our best to fix the the problem. On this occasion however the fault was not at our end. We have been operating for some years now and are proud of our food and service as is demonstrated by our reviews on various sites. I think your comments regarding the manager are a little unfair as you were always going to be unhappy with the message he was delivering.

My family & I were visiting from the St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands and found this beautiful gem with friendly service, delicious cuisine and an ambient environment. Our waiter Ricky, was top notch and worked efficiently. Towards closing we also met the amazing owner Pree that greeted us with a big smile! We will for sure dine here again when we visit London. 😊

We are staying nearby on a layover. Over a six-week trip of France, Croatia, Spain, Portugal and Italy, this was our tastiest and most satisfying meal. The fish was a large piece, golden brown and served with the right condiments. (Though mushy peas must be an acquired taste). The chicken burger was a generous filet, perfectly cooked, on a brioche bun. Rarely is fried food this spot on hot and fresh--it did not disappoint. It was not inexpensive, but the value is fair. Thank you for the "last supper" of our trip.

Girls night out. Only 4 of us this time however we cannot fault the service we received. Salmon is highly recommended as are the ribs. However the chicken and mushroom pie was a little tough. I would however offer the suggestion of sausage and mash / beef pie rather than chicken / and scampi. But this is just our preference Will we go back. Yes

We dropped in here with my wife and daughter for lunch on the way back from London. The menu didn’t have a great selection for kids but they went out of their way to cook a child’s portion of one of the mains. My partner and I had the half rack of ribs which were amazing! If you are flying from Heathrow and are looking for somewhere to have a good meal before you leave, check this place out.

As a foodie, let me tell you, the food may be slightly overpriced.. But worth every penny! We tested the Lamb Chops, Chicken Tikka and Buffalo Wings for starters 10/10 for taste, presentation and portion size. Lamb chops were better than all the local Indian restaurants in Hotels by far! We had the Pie & Mash, Crispy Chicken and Half Rack of Ribs. All I can say is, that this is a culinary delight hidden away near Heathrow. Don’t tell too many people, let’s keep it a secret for as long as we can 😂

I came in for lunch while waiting for my cousin, we were attending a festival opposite. I ordered food, they were happy to take my money, when the food was bought over to me I was told to leave and take my food with me, I was accused of being too drunk to sit there. If this is the case why did you take my order in the first place??? You also took the food and only refunded me half of what I paid. Your security is so rude and your management is awful. I would never step foot back in this place. I would still like my full refund as I didn’t get what I paid for

Dear Customer The fact that we put security staff on at lunch time says something about what we had to endure on the day in question due to the behaviour of your fellow festival goers. We apologise if you feel you were treated unfairly but speaking from experience it very unusual for security to intervene in anything inside the pub. This says a lot about your own behaviour, obviously not mentioned in your review. Having spoken to the manager and security asking you to leave was necessary for the sake of our staff and other patrons. Unfortunately we realised this too late. We gave you a refund for the food you had ordered in cash. Perhaps you weren't in a state to remember? Along with other residents we will oppose the festival being held nearby again. We do hope you keep your promise though and not step back in to the premises if you find yourself in Cranford again.

Dear Customer. Thank you for visiting us and taking the time to post feedback. We are obviously very disappointed that you did not enjoy your experience with us on Sunday. We are however happy with our current Sunday Roast offering which runs alongside our daily main menu. Both recieve positive sentiment as demonstrated by our other recent reviews. Our team went out of our way to try and tailor your individual meal to your requirements on a busy Sunday but evidently this did not meet with your approval either. For that we apologise ....but in our defence it is strange that the rest of your group appeared to finish all their meals (including Sunday Roasts) without any issue. All the meals were prepared together so perhaps the problem doesn't necessarily lie at out our end? We do sincerely hope you find a restaurant which can match your expectations in the future.

We came here, came running away from another place to be precise, with high expectations as we'd been told this was a popular fullers pub in this locality. Upon arrival we were greeted by warm friendly smiles by the bar staff who tended to our every need. We had only just ran from a disgusting place which entertained drug users and ex-convicts so suggesting we arrived her with a massive sigh of relief would be an understatement. My Wife and I enjoyed an amazing Sunday roast complimented with a pint of lager for me and a glass of wine for herself. We befriended another couple sat close by who funnily enough was also their first time at this place. The service was prompt and timely and the bar staff did an absolutely fantastic job in meeting our every needs and ensuring our visit was a memorable one, a true testament by the which this pub is managed and run. Hats off to the Management. If I ever venture back down to London again I'll be certainly paying this place a visit, hopefully with a few work colleagues this time.
