Grand Junction Arms

I am extremely disappointed with this restaurant. The service was very slow and many items on the menu were unavailable. I will not be returning.

A group of 9 visited for lunch on a beautiful sunny Sunday. The pub was very busy but service was very good and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was very good. Good menu choice. On the basis of this visit I would certainly recommend a trip. Thank you.

Wonderful service by Lauren. Very professional and friendly. We came across this lovely pub by the Grand Union canal by chance and ordered sea bass which was delicious with gorgeous flavours. Particularly liked the fact that it was a whole fish with its head and not filleted. The mash was great as well. Speisekarte ansehen

Went last night for a meal last night It was minus 1 outside .when we got there they didt have heating on .we were seating close to window was so cold .asked if they could turn heating on .they did for about 20 and then turned it back of .we did ask if they would turn back on but they never did .it was so cold

So I have previously written a review back in August. This was my second visit. We reserved a table in the outside area (beautiful sunny day) Once again , I have to say the service and food were outstanding (special mention to Hannah) The pub garden was really busy but the staff were not flustered and the beverage and food service flowed well.

This dining experience was quite disappointing. Despite pre-booking, we waited an hour for our main course. The service was poor, as we were seated upstairs in the restaurant where the staff seemed overwhelmed and short-staffed. The bar was unmanned, and the manager was nowhere to be found to address the issues the staff were facing. However, when the food eventually arrived, it was delicious. It seemed that perhaps the restaurant had too many walk-in customers who were served first, rather than informing them of potential delays. Speisekarte ansehen

Very excited to visit this restaurant as it was part of the Akeman group. From the moment we arrived I should have known it wasn’t going to go well. We weren’t greeted, had to get the staff attention. Then left way too long to take our order. The portions were small for their price, I had Scotch egg that was way too salty, and slightly undercooked. Spoilt my meal. Then had to go to the bar to get service for puddings. Didn’t clear away until pudding came. Overall really disappointed. Do t feel they had the staff to deal with the customers and shook at how expensive it was. If u enjoy your meal you do t mind paying but 3 of us were disappointed!

Although part of the usually excellent Oakman group we found the Grand Junction disappointing and not up to the standard we expected. It has the potential to be a great pub and restuarant but overall our experience was very underwhelming. Given that the restuarant was not busy we needed to wait a long time for our food to arrive. The young staff were trying their best but were clearly new aand inexperienced. The main courses were not unpleasant but were not great. The puddings had clearly been hanging around for a while as the ice cream was melting on a pudding that could hardly be described as warm. Considered sending back but couldn't bear to wait longer. Not one to recommend or go back to...

The venue, garden, location, and staff were all satisfactory. However, our experience was dampened by two issues. Firstly, there was a strong sewerage odor in the area, which was unpleasant during our lunch. Secondly, several of our dishes were unsatisfactory. I personally found my ham and chicken pie to be bland, while another guest was surprised by the level of chili in her pasta. Some of our group left significant portions of their meals uneaten, and the service was a bit slow. We spent over £320 for a group of 9, which is acceptable for a good restaurant but not for low-quality pub food. We do not plan on returning until improvements are made, such as changing the chef and addressing the... Speisekarte ansehen
