TheForkUserGreat food and efficient and pleasant service. We got the window seat we requested and had a lovely meal. I'd recommend this venue.
TheForkUserThe staff were very welcoming and professional. Meal was plentiful and well cooked, maybe warm the plates to keep food hot. Knifes need replacing as very blunt to cut meat, although we should have asked for replacements. Nice atmosphere.
TheForkUserI’ve just met up with four friends I’d not seen for 45 years - and TWE completely ticked every box - from being welcomed, seated, hot plates and good hot fresh food - it didn’t disappoint and there was no pressure to leave our table. I don’t know when I have ever had really good food that met everyone’s tastes and needs. I can truthfully say that on this occasion the staff, attention, food and ambience was outstanding. I’m also conscious that there are a number of staff behind the scenes and in the kitchen who don’t get praise/tips directly from the customers and trust they will hear this review too.
TheForkUserWe booked a table of 3 adults and a large labradoodle. They made a big fuss of the dog, which he loved, and made us very welcome. The food was great with a huge choice.

_TI***jwThe Trent Lock Inn offers a fantastic dining experience with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service from Yuliia was exceptional, making our visit truly enjoyable.
TheForkUserWe had a great lunch - the soup starter & roast were absolutely delicious & the staff made us feel at home - a wonderful pub in a beautiful village - will definitely be back!!
_TI***zmI had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious and high quality, with plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. The staff were incredibly accommodating, especially when it came to modifying the menu for my grandma's needs. Highly recommend for a special occasion!
TheForkUserThese lovely people are trying so hard, they deserve recognition for great food and impeccable service. The management are ex-Kayal (and we know how good that is), branching out by themselves. They know how to look after customers and they know how to cook! Certainly giving the other Indian restaurants on Maid Marion Way a run for their money and way cheaper.
TheForkUserBrought my mother for a Valentine's Day treat and was very impressed with the quality of both the food and the service. While quite expensive, the food was arguably well worth the price in terms of flavour and presentation, despite delivery being a little slow considering that the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. The waitresses were all lovely and helpful, with special mention to Melissa and Alice, both of whom went out of their way to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. All in all a wonderfully pleasant experience which I would highly recommend.
_TI***13I had a wonderful meal with my family, and the food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was perfect for our special occasion.
