Hen & Chicken

Good light and ambience, great attention and service.
Had the BBQ Wings, which where served with a bit of salad, and tasted really great, and the Henburger, loved the bread they serve it with.
In both cases the meat was juicy and tasty.

I went to the Hen & Chicken for a family birthday and Sunday Lunch, and while the food wasn’t amazing, it is a great pub with an awesome vibe.
First and foremost, the hen & Chicken is a pub — and a good one at that! It is big, set over a couple of levels and has a really nice central bar. While all very standard, they serve a decent selection of ales, ciders, largers and spirits. It’s everything you’d expect from a pub bar.
The atmosphere and clientele differs slightly from day time to night time, when during the day you’ll find a full range of people, and night times being a slightly younger crowd. From Friday night and over the weekend, it gets very lively, is open later and has a great atmosphere.
They also do some really good comedy night in their comedy room upstairs. I’ve never ben to one, but the line up for Jan/​Feb looked great and I’ve heard from others that it’s really good. Definitely one I need to check out!
The Sunday lunch wasn’t amazing; the beef was lovely and the Yorkshire pub was also really good, but as a lover of veg, I was a bit let down. The gravy was super tasty, but was really thin and didn’t really stick to anything, so didn’t really add any flavour to the rest of the food, which was a real shame.
I’ll definitely be going back for drinks, a night out, coffee in the afternoon — but probs not for Sunday Lunch.
