The Green

3.5 stars, but I’m happy to bump it up to 4.
I came here for a Christmas lunch get together with some friends and overall had a really enjoyable time. The only real negative is that I feel that everything was just outrageously overpriced, which took a lot away from the afternoon. I’ll go into more detail…
Atmosphere:
The Green is a lovely refurbished pub, that is no longer a pub but a restaurant with a fancy wine list and coffee. It’s not a very large restaurant — it’s the size of maybe more of a small café than anything. The ceiling is pretty low, and the entire ambiance of the place has a very cozy feeling to it. Might get a bit cramped, but it certainly doesn’t lack charm!
Customer Service:
They were lovely, but maybe just a tad bit disorganised and hectic. You order at the counter after noting your table number. When I got up to the counter, the woman was spending 5 minutes trying to get herself organised while I stood their looking a bit daft and aimless. A friend of mine ordered a cup of tea and never received it. Like I said, they were sweethearts but maybe just a tad bit disorganised.
Food:
I had a Turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sandwich roll which is a seasonal special (for Christmas-​time). It came with a side of slaw and salad leaves and it was very lovely! Really messy to eat and got my hands sticky for such a posh establishment, but tasty nonetheless. I also organised a side of sweet potato chips and blackcurrant cheesecake for dessert. The chips were maybe a tad bit over-​salted, but they had a great texture to them. I also thoroughly enjoyed my dessert!
All this, and a diet coke, set me back £10 which to be honest, I feel is a little bit overpriced. Although everything was lovely, the portions (bar the cheesecake) were really tiny and I left feeling still a tad bit hungry and unsatisfied.

Overall, I wouldn’t be opposed to coming back to The Green. Nice atmosphere, great people, and great food. However, the price tag that goes along with it can’t really justify a regular visit.
