Absolutely fantastic we where booked for 6pm the atmosphere was great the food came out at the right time ie no long waits and the food was superb. We had three course meal and the desert just did me in I was stuffed lol. The staff where very polite and friendly and where very helpful when we want to swap certain food on one of the mains. James was brilliant and we will be going back again .

The restaurant looked so grand from the outside we thought we must eat there. The venue was just as grand inside too and had a nice chilled atmosphere. We chose the Thali dish to get a taster of the food but were rather disappointed with the plainness of the selection (bhuna, tikka massalla and garlic chilli) and the mildness of the dishes. The food quality was good but just not special, though perhaps it was just the dishes in our selection. The staff were lovely and friendly.

We had a family birthday meal for 6 people here. My wife was mega impressed with the Brie, Spinach and Mushroom parcel with all the Sunday lunch trimmings. The pizzas were also excellent, really fresh and very tasty. The service was great and the music in the pub excellent!!

Good food, nice atmosphere.

Great food and service would highly recommend.

Service excellent recommend the pornstar cider,staff friendly...main course only my modules marinera I could have just had a bowl of the broth the mussels were cooked in it was that tasty...hubby's celeriac mash cold pork belly tasty but not crispy enough all in all a nice experience would visit again.

We booked a table 2 weeks before our dinner date, on February 14th. I also received a 'reminder' text 24 hours before. We had read the reviews and some seemed to be quite negative so we were somewhat apprehensive about our booking. However, our fears were quickly put aside as we entered the restaurant (a beautifulbuilding). The staff were excellent and the service was very good. It was a little disappointing that the restaurant didn't serve alcohol as the meals was very good and could have been even better with a nice beer and wine. However, that said, the evening was a wonderful event and we can certainly recommend this restraunt. We will definitely be returning, thoroughly recommended.

excellent food and service. Very pleasant and friendly staff.

Looking forward to a little better than pub grub, but is not there yet. Food not as described and underwhelming Lack of veg to choose from only tempura broccoli in cold dish so went cold and greasy quickly Sorry not there yet, dishes need more thought

Our first visit the atmosphere was great service was good and the steak pie I had was the best I’ve had. Thank you

Beyond disappointed. I dined at the Sultan pre COVID and had a great meal but the standard has definitely slipped. Firstly they don't respond to emails sent via their own website. We emailed a week in advance of our booking to ask if we could take a bottle of wine as we understand almost all Indian restaurants don't serve alcohol but in our experience, most will allow you to take your own. We got no reply so chanced it and asked as soon as we arrived if it was okay. We were made to feel as if we had taken an illegal substance into the premises! Embarrassing encounter with our server and made to take the bottle off the premises which seemed extreme. Absolutely no issue not opening it but to be made to feel very uncomfortable was unnecessary. The food was below average, very VERY oily and greasy, with little to no flavour and very unsettled stomachs the next day. The restaurant decor is tired and in need of a refresh. Such a shame as it used to be a really good place to eat. Would recommend going somewhere else!

Excellent food and great value, highly recommended

My first visit here, and the food was great. Would definitely come again.

Fantastic food welcoming staff a truly remembrable visit I would highly recommend the ship brilliant..

3rd visit. Food excellent on each occasion. Good wine at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend

Cheddar pudding starter is an absolute marvel of modern pub food and the chips were the best I've had in ages. Absolutely bangin' food, good service and good portion sizes. Highly recommended.
