This is the second time my husband and I have been to The Hayes for lunch. Everything was amazing - helpful pleasant staff, prompt service, delicious food, great priced drinks - all in beautiful surrounds. Would definitely recommend everyone visit to sample something pretty special.
We enjoyed our dinner staff provided excellent service very friendly and welcoming .
Great service! Amazing food! Meat lover pizza and fish and chips were very nice!
We had the fish and chips which was absolutely delicious, and extremely generous portions. The staff are so friendly from the lovely lady who served us, to the awesome chefs. One thing I would mention is the padded seats look tired and worn, with some having tears in them. It’s not a very good look. We will definitely be paying another visit tho!
