About This Pub

Ah, the Dog & Pheasant – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews and the website, it's all about that classic British pub experience: gathering round for good chats, enjoying a pint of ale, and tucking into some hearty, home-cooked meals. Most folks rave about the welcoming atmosphere and the friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, whether you're popping in for a quick lunch or a full evening out. The food sounds brilliant too – think fresh, tasty dishes that hit the spot, and it's even dog-friendly, which is a nice touch if you're out with your four-legged mate. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect; there have been a few grumbles about service being slow or orders getting forgotten, which could put a dampener on things if you're in a rush. Still, with an overall rating sitting comfortably at 4.4, it seems like the positives far outweigh the negatives for most visitors. If you're in the area, I'd say it's worth a visit for a relaxed afternoon or evening – just maybe keep an eye on the time for food service to avoid any disappointments. All in all, it's a solid spot for us pub enthusiasts looking for that authentic feel without too much fuss.

The atmosphere is just lovely – it's a proper traditional pub that's welcoming and perfect for catching up with mates or family.
They've got a cracking selection of drinks, including those tasty cask ales that really hit the spot.

Cons

Food service might wrap up early in the evening, so it's worth checking times if you're planning a late bite.
Parking at the back is a tad tight, which could be a hassle if you're driving over.

The 1 star forthefood is because we never actually got any. We arrived and were seated by a young waitress. She brought menus and then took our drinks order 2 drinks only. After 20 minutes waiting no drinks ks arrived. We looked around and saw two other tables were still sat with just drinks no food. We decided enough was enough and stood up to leave. This prompted another waitress to come over and ask whether we were ready to order. When oli told her we were leaving due to the poor service she apologised and explained the drinks order hadn't even been placed. Sorry but that is not good enough.

Lovely pub, food is pub grub and of what I sampled was delicious and very filling... Love the rag puddings. There was a singer on too which was fab. Nice, welcoming pub as I'm not a local to Waterloo area it was nice to feel welcome and relaxed. Definitely recommend 5*

Cosy pub with parking at the back (bit tight). Wednesday evening. Two ales (pedigree and wainwrights). Had fish chips and mushy peas. Very good. Cooked to order. Real chips 😋. Ale good 🍻, not too cold. Food seem to stop about 830pm. Friendly landlords. Will definitely be back when in the area. Highly recommended
