Everything my dad wanted to eat was unavailable. He settled for steak and ale pie which wasn't his favourite. We had to buy our drinks separately which was faffy.
The lad that took our food order was really lovely but you could tell he was a bit embarrassed at having to tell us we couldn't have most of the menu. The birthday girls food was a 1 star. Anaemic chips and gristle in the burger. We had organised a funeral just after Christmas there which had been outstanding so we wanted to come at a less emotional time. We'd been given a voucher as an incentive. We couldn't use it though as the tiny small print said you couldn't use it Fridays. If that was their busy time, they are obviously doing something wrong.
There were empty mayo tubs at the area next to our table collecting water from a leak. There were plenty of other tables they could have reserved for us. The atmosphere was awful and awkward. It felt like the staff had all just had a massive row. We really felt we weren't welcome. It was a Friday night and we'd booked rather than taken a chance because we thought it would be heaving. This could have become our local, but I doubt we'd go again. We are all easygoing and had a good laugh, but as a birthday meal, it is best forgotten. Oh, but puddings were top-notch. I'd have that sticky toffee pudding in a heartbeat. Same with the cheese cake. I'll give it an extra star for the puddings.

Always great at the Fiveways! Food always fantastic, staff are great. Love coming in here with the family, and with our motorclub on a Thursday. Great place to have in the community, especially with the large conservatory available for private functions if required. We had our group Christmas meal here too and that was spectacular. Nothing ever to much trouble for the Fiveways team
Parking: Large free car park, plenty of room.
Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu, the children are always made to feel welcome. Our youngest said the pizzas ar ethe best he has ever had
Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible!

Food was rather enjoyable. The only issue I had was the gravy on my steak was very sweet.
Although the service was quick and friendly nobody came to check if our food was okay.
Atmosphere was dead. Very few people in & yet dance music was playing.

Really chilled place to meet up with friends. It was quiet and the service was great. It can get busy though so if you are eating it may be an idea to book a table.

Our group booked about 2 weeks in advance. When we all arrived thet said the email/booking doesn't go straight to them and they weren't told that we were booked. (About 15/16 ladies)
There was only one chef on, plenty of wait staff but we were rarely checked on and the pub wasn't very busy.
It was Tuesday lunchtime.
We all ordered at the machine and the food came out in drips and drabs. I waited 67 minutes for my steak ciabatta to come out.
Some people waited even longer.
My steak ciabatta was very chewy and I did not receive a steak knife to cut the pieces smaller. One piece was so chewy, I couldn't cut it smaller and it seems I couldn't chew it very well either as it got stuck in my throat. I had to steal my friend's water to be able to swallow it down and struggle with the butter knife to cut them into smaller pieces, definitely too chewy to eat as a sandwich.
When we cut the cake, I asked for a sharp knife to cut the cake (it was a fatless sponge) and was given a cake spatula. So I struggled ( yet again) with a butter knife to cut the cakes as it seems that's the sharpest thing I was allowed!
I was hoping The Five Ways had improved after my Step Daughters absolutely failed Christmas dinner, but HQ should communicate better with it's restaurants!

The service was terrible disjointed, with one person at a time being served with long gaps between each delivery. The end result was 14 people all eating at different times rather than together.

Took 2 hours to be told the chef was just doing our main course, at which point I cancelled it and got my money back
