Great new pub very well laid out and nice fire place area as you walk in. Menu had some lovely choices. Staff where friendly and helpful and quick to serve. Only 1 pointer was food was not as hot as it could be.

Lovely atmosphere, and friendly helpful staff. Large patio and seating area inside and outside. Will be fantastic in summer. Food was amazing and very hot. We had the craft beer and that was very good too. We'll definitely be coming back again.

Really enjoyed my first time here definitely will be back for more yummy food. But its very expensive. Could not eat it all I got that full. I enjoyed it. Very nice friendly staff. It's very busy so I recommend you book a table as it's new everybody is going to want to explore this new restaurant. So what you waiting for come join The all new (The Strawberry Thief). NEW FOR 2022 from Ben

A beautiful pub/restaurant that is really comfortable, however i must say the service is far from satisfactory. And for me service is important as I could make my own food and drinks at home.Today walking in the entrance of the strawberry thief the staff looked at me and my wife but there was no greeting or offer of seats and they do have a reception which left us confused as to whether we found our own seats but we felt it was rude not to even be acknowledged. After this I asked at the bar if we order there and the member of staff gave a confused answer of do you have a menu, he then gave us one and we found our own seats. Someone then came over and asked if we’d like to order drinks but no drink menu which left us guessing which hot drink to order with our brunch.Then we sat waiting wondering where to order again which was frustrating and unpleasant. All in all your service does not meet expectations.

They've thought a lot about the décor, it looks great. It's huge both indoors and outdoors and has parking. We went for food on a Sunday when there was a good pizza and a drink deal on. The pizzas came out super fast and were good, excellent for the price. There was also enough choice for vegetarians.

Very lovely venue for a drink and food. Clean, modern and feels great with a warm atmosphere. Recommend.

Very impressed with the service. With a large number of staff available on the bar we didn't have to wait long for drinks.Food although cooked to a good standard was a little bland and desperately lacking spice. (However the waitress did bring us hot sauce on request, so good service there.)The large patio area was nicely laid out with plenty of seating available, however with no grassy areas available it's not particularly child friendly.

Wonderful pub, lovely beer garden. However service is quite poor, no napkins supplied, no offer of sauces. Found a huge bone on my pizza which then put me off my food. Had it been a plate of meat then fair enough but not expected on a pizza

Great decor & outside area but long queues for the bar. I Bought a pint & a glass of white wine, pint was great but the wine was warm & I had to wait a long time for it to be swapped for another which was also warm. All in all I spent 30 minutes waiting for drinks.I’m hoping to be able to give five stars in the future.Update…. Waiting times seem to have reduced but I think the actual bar itself could have perhaps been bigger to enable people to spread along it more but that said it’s a beautiful pub & well worth a visit.

A wonderful evening out with super food and excellent service. Reservations are a must over the weekend as it gets very busy, however, despite how busy it was, we were served quickly by very attentive staff. The food was beautifully presented. The tacos were very good indeed. The bao buns were soft and fresh. The flat bread was delicious. The cheesecake was okay but, in my opinion, slightly bland and lacking in flavour.Reservations are a must over the weekend as it gets very busy.My only complaint was that a huge spider came in, which I trapped under a glass for it to be rescued, but, as I was looking for a member of staff to take it back outside, another staff member stamped on it and killed it.
