Food: The chefs need to work on their timing and some basics when it comes to skillet plates (wet onions on a hot plate whilst the steak is sizzling leads to water sitting on the skillet, the steak then is essentially boiling removing flavour from the meat) fix the basics and this becomes a non issue.
Service: Excellent, the ladies in here work their ass off and still manage to keep a smile and be very helpful & attentive. Absolutely faultless.
Atmosphere: Bit rowdy and some of the patrons here can be quite obnoxious, but that’s not a slight on the staff or bar. They probably should keep them in check better.
I visited Local Hero to try their Sunday roast, but to my disappointment, they were out of the low & slow beef rib. Instead, I opted for the traditional beef, which came with mash, peas, roast potatoes, mini Yorkshire puddings, broccoli, carrots, and a generous serving of gravy. I also added a serving of pigs in blankets.
Overall, the meal was adequate, but as far as roasts go, it fell short of expectations. The vegetables offered paled in comparison to your usual seasonal veg, and the beef wasn’t particularly flavourful. The standout element was the pigs in blankets, but aside from that, there wasn’t much else noteworthy about the dish. It wasn’t a bad meal per se, but it’s not one I’d choose to have again. I remain curious about their beef rib, but without that option, I doubt I’ll be trying another Sunday roast from here anytime soon.
We stopped into the Local Hero for Sunday lunch. Our waiter, Donna, was friendly & attentive and greeted us with a smile. The Low & Slow beef was phenomenal and falling off the bone. Great value! Family of 4 spent £50 including drinks. I will be returning.
I’ve been a regular customer of Local Hero for a long time, visiting weekly for lunch., the food is delicious – especially the macaroni cheese which is perfection – always served hot and with only a minimal wait time. The staff are always friendly and (especially Maxine) remember us from week to week, making us welcome. Lovely atmosphere too.
Good customer service in a nice pub / restaurant.
Great place where you can eat and watch live sports and grab a drink at the same time.
Food is nice and presented well, also good prices. They have brill deals on food and drinks on certain days of the week. Shots from £1.
Also has a pool table 🎱
