Went to The Warrington mid March 2011 , arrived in the afternoon , not many people . Stayed downstairs and had the Beef Burgers 12pounds each with cheese , burgers were ok made well , not very big and when added drinks and surcharges I walked out of there with a 55 Quid Meal .
If you want to book for Valentine's night. Be warned: you are required to email you full credit card details (preferably including a scanned signature) to a "valentines@gordonramsey. Com" (an internal distribution list) before they will confirm your booking! Does that sound like caring for customer's interests?
Went there today for lunch, around 2. We sat downstair, at the pub. Food very good but extremely long wait & very small portions. £12.5 for something which was supposed to be a main, but looked like a light starter.
Had lunch in The Warrington last Wed 18th Nov and was not impressed. The pub has been cleaned up a lot and looks great; bar staff were efficient and polite but the food was seriously uninteresting. Because there was no roast beef sandwiches or shepherd's pie on we both had the mushroom and chestnut wellington at about £10-50 each. We had to wait nearly an hour to be served and it was definitely not worth the money or the wait, being over cooked and bland. But worse than the food were the other customers! The old Warrington was always a bit of a dropouts pub and they seem to still frequent the place. Dirty, drunk and with a smelly dog their conversation and foul language would have offended even Gordon! Perhaps this was why there were only a dozen people in the bar and only us eating. Incidentally, we ate in the bar because the restaurant was not in use that day. Certainly will not be going there again!
Not having visited The Warrington before it is impossible to comment on the previous decor, however the meal we were served with in the restaurant was excellent .
The fishcake actually tasted of fish rather than potato as at many establishments. The steak was cooked to perfection and spotted dick served with ginger ice cream was superb.
The service throughout was excellent and unobtrusive.Finally the extensive drinks menu is very reasonably priced.
I am sure that all of us (6) will be returning to The Warringtonat our earliest opportunity.
I am a lucky resident of W9 and was impressed by The Warrington's commitment to keep the original wonderful interior.
On the positive side, the service is always super friendly, and the Brit menu's varied enough to keep everyone happy (I personally loved the pork belly I was treated to last time, and the wine list is divine).
However they need to sort their booking system out - I was told we could not book in a third person 24 hours before heading in, meaning one guest had to miss out on lunch, yet when we got there the room stayed nearly empty for two hours!
I am in total agreement. I visited The Warrington last Sunday (26/04/09) and it loOKed like Gordan Ramsey was having his very kitchen nightmare.
The dinning room was completely empty and the bar area had very few people in it. I decided to sit outside as it was the most welcoming of the three possible areas i could sit and eat my lunch.
For our main course we had a baby roasted chicken which was ok but nothing special. It was served with boiled potatoes (not roasted), Carrots and green beans which tasted of nothing.
We weren't offered any salt, pepper or any sauces. I was so disappointed as i had been looking forward to all week.
When we handed over the ridiculous amount of money for what we had I too decided never to go to a Gordon Ramsey restaurant again.
I had booked The York and Albany for my birthday in a couple of weeks but cancelled it the very next day.
I was visiting from Toronto and i wandered into a small bookstore near my hotel. The young gentleman suggested I try the Warrington.
I went three time s during my stay and all three times were fantastic. I met some wonderful peolple and we ended up drinking and gabbing all day.
The bar staff were fantastic. I am not a young girl anymore but the boys behind the bar treated me well and with respect.
I had the scotch eggs and they were wonderful. I was in the bar business for 25 years and I believe that Gordon Ramsy knows what he's doing.
Bad reviewers are cheap and envious...you know it and I know it.
