Square Meal review of The Warrington: ? Write your review

Perhaps the least applauded of Gordon Ramsay’s gastropub outings, The Warrington hasn’t quite delivered on the hype. It promised to bring some culinary kudos to the area, with a polished mix of native British & European food, but the results can be ‘distinctly average’ (one disappointed punter comments that Gordon ‘would have had a field day had he been critiquing this on the box’). That said, the kitchen is prepared to tackle the likes of crispy pig’s head with creamed cauliflower & toffee apple, Rye Bay plaice with chicory & Jerusalem artichokes, or warm pear & apple charlotte. The smart first-floor dining room lacks character, although there’s no shortage of bums on seats & staff know how to crank up the hospitality vibes. On the plus side, the splendid ground-floor Edwardian bar ticks over nicely, while the wine list is peppered with good stuff & real ales are beyond reproach.

I went there for a celebration last Saturday evening. Pleasant enough room but quite boring and actually reflective of what it is an average pub dining room. Food was pleasant but the service was off-hand and the waiters felt they should take precedence over the us. The room was half empty throughout the evening and yet the staff made impatient comments to us when we ordered and interrupted forcefully a conversation during the meal. The tone of the waiters boarded on sarcastic.

Most of the table thought the food was good. The Lamb Shank and the whole plaice were particularly good. It was not sensational but good decent plates of food. Puddings were tasty and generous in size.

Service became more haphazard as the meal wore on. It was the first time I have seen staff bring a hoover into the restaurant while a table is still eating and another table are still finishing their drinks!

The room had been half empty all evening so you have thought they have made the most of our custom.

Nice place – but wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

My wife and I ate there last night (Sunday 22 Feb), we are fans of the York and Albany (and Angela Hartnett in particular) which was booked out so we thought we'd try another Ramsay-owned place. The restaurant, as opposed to the pub, is the epitome of blandness in decor, shades of beige. No real atmosphere, though the place seemed popular with locals. The Swedish waitress was pleasant but her male colleague was off-hand though not rude. A number of menu items were “off” which cut down the limited choice and the first two wines I ordered were not available, so we ended up with a Macon Fuisse which I thought was a bit closed and not very good for the money. The main course chicken and mushroom pie which we both ordered was not overpriced, but lacking character, taste, mushroom and – most of all – chicken. Altogether, we felt, sadly a real let-down to the Gordon Ramsay “brand”.

I recently went to Ramseys for a winter weekend lunch with friends. I had been here 3 times previously, dining in the evening where once had been dreadful but on giving it another chance, the following two times had been more than ok.

Sadly on this last visit, the restaurant was sparse (only one other table), and the food was either overdone, ‘old’ tasting or even flavourless. The salad to start was just so bland, I was certain something must be missing. The chicken pie had a layer of oil on top once I lifted the overcooked pastry lid and the pork friends ordered was a unappealing grey shade and horribly overcooked and therefore tough. Ramsey would have had a field day had he been critiquing this for a show but in the meantime, we had to pay £95 a couple for a basic lunch with wine.

Despite costing millions to acquire the pub and restaurant, there seems to be a lack of focus on ensuring a consistent quality to ensure that the locals will come back again. Great shame – it should be great!
