About This Pub

Ah, the Chain Bridge – it's one of those pubs that really grows on you once you pop in for a bite. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are the real stars; they're super helpful and make you feel right at home, whether you're asking for a table switch or tweaking your order. I love how they've got this great selection of food that's spot on for sharing with the family – think burgers that kids rave about or a solid steak that hits the mark. Plus, with that beer garden and patio, it's ideal for soaking up the sun with a cold one in hand, and it's brilliant that they welcome dogs too, so you can bring the whole gang along. On the flip side, though, there are times when things feel a tad off, like staff not looking quite as polished, which might leave you scratching your head about who's managing the show. And let's be honest, there have been a few moans about food not always being spot on or availability issues, which can take the edge off an otherwise nice evening. All in all, it's a solid choice for a casual get-together in Boston – the good bits far outweigh the niggles, but it's good to go in with realistic expectations for a balanced night out.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, accommodating, and go the extra mile, like sorting out table changes or complimentary desserts when things go awry.
  • The food is a real highlight, with tasty options like juicy burgers, steaks, and pizzas that hit the spot, especially for families with kids who give it top marks.
  • It's a proper family and dog-friendly spot, complete with a lovely beer garden and stylish patio for enjoying a pint or a meal outdoors in the fresh air.
  • Full table service makes it so easy – no need to queue; just relax and let them bring everything to you, which is perfect for a laid-back catch-up with mates.
  • They've got affordable deals and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like a local favourite, with events and offers to keep things lively.
Cons
  • Some staff aren't in proper uniform, which can make it confusing to spot who's in charge and might come across as a bit unprofessional at times.
  • There have been occasional hiccups, like food not being available or other little issues during visits, which can put a dampener on the experience.
  • The overall rating is solid but not outstanding, and recent reviews show it's sometimes just average, so it might not wow everyone straight away.

Staff are always lovely! Very accommodating with any questions or requests of change of tables or alterations in meals etc. Especially Lily and Emma who we have seen much more regularly. Always a friendly atmosphere and the staff make it a local favourite pub to visit.

Absolutely disgraceful, none of the staff wearing uniform couldn’t determine who was actually management and who I needed to speak to about the problems during my visit. Wearing Nike jumpers, trainers and leggings is not professional, as it seems it is run by children, not a single person looked over 21 I assume to keep your wage budget down. Ordered a veggie pizza with extra chicken that arrived and looked like it had been hacked at with a chainsaw and not a pizza cutter, why are you serving your pizzas pre cut and not with the pizza cutter so the customer can decide how their pizza is sliced, like the restaurant has done for the past 7 years? Sent the pizza back it came back the 2nd time with no chicken and half the size…still pre cut. My partners bread bun on the burger was not remotely toasted but stale and was served with precisely 15 very anaemic chips, for a £13.59 burger and no dip pot of burger sauce is criminal, even better my 2 years olds waffles completely soaked in I assume dirty oil seen as they were practically dark brown. Just to top it off it took 3 members off staff to finally get a refund for my chicken that I didn’t receive, fair enough I was refunded for the whole pizza which was appreciated but a single “sorry” with no offer of a receipt to show my refund or even a heads up that it’ll be back with me in a few days, luckily I knew this already maybe an offer of dessert to the table or a drink might’ve improved my mood and would’ve stayed for dessert but wanted to immediately leave after the absolute shambles of a meal that was served. Haven’t been in over 2 years and was persuaded to try it again but never ever again! You may think I am being picky or know a bit about wage budget…yes I do, I was a staff member here for nearly 5 years, 1 and half of those a member of management leaving in 2022 so yes compared to what it was like previously I am incredibly disappointed. Pictures below show the 1st pizza then the 2nd 15 anaemic chips and fake tan waffles.

Came for a datenight with my partner, I had a steak with the sweet potato fries upgrade, my partner had the ultimate chicken burger. Both were absolutely amazing. Food came out faster than expected too. Staff were really friendly, and the dessert was also really nice. We sat on table 28, which was a booth seat, it felt really cozy and was all round a really nice experience. Looking forwards to returning
