“if you can find somewhere else....do!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Hvaig booked a table of four, the staff seemed surprised when we arrived. After some confusion we were shown to our seats upstairs and were promptly ignored by the staff. 5 minutes after seating we were told it would be better if we went downstairs to the bar area as there was a party of 25 people expected in the...

“Our lost booking, poor service and a real shame as lots of potential.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011 via mobile

We had heard a lot of good things about The Green via google reviews. We were due to eat there as a large party, but when we arrived the waitress appeared to have not booked us in. We were given some complementary prosecco whilst we waited for a table to become available, only for the service to continue in a... More

“Cute pub & restaurant - a pleasant surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2011

As there is only 1 bad review I felt I had to defend the Green! We ate here for a quick meal before heading next door to Dans Le Noir and were pleasantly surprised. The Thursday night crowd were out in force so the Pub downstairs was loud and busy. The cosy restaurant upstairs has a chilled atmosphere with fairy... More

“Pretentious - better to be a good pub than a poor restaurant”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010

person found this review helpful

The Green is the perfect example of the nonsense now called the Gastropub. I expect a pub meal to be substantial and if they want to throw gastro in then do a twist on traditional fare. The menu was uninspiring but the portions were worse. This mediocity was only surpassed by the poor quality of the food. My roasted bavette... More
