I've always found the food to be good. We took some friends out there and they liked the food too. Haven't been since last Christmas though. It is a bit pricey though for the overall package.


The service isn't great, but it is a lot better than it used to be! I think I remember when the service was really bad and now I have low expectations, so I am always pleasantly surprised now that the service is a little better! When the service used to be really bad, I asked a couple of times for the discretionary service charge to be removed from the bill and they didn't make a fuss which is refreshing.

Hi Frisco, I think I picked up a card from Le Chardon which had details of the Green on the reverse, so presumably they are connected. We love Le Chardon, but would not choose to have dinner in the Green. Having said that, I do rate their hearty English breakfast's, one of the best around IMO.
The Green is a dive, I went in there with a friend who persuaded me, end of last year (shortly before xmas), and was forced to eat what can best be described as mush. The mash potatoes I had were dire, and I wouldnt be surprised if they were made from Smash or some other dry dubious substance. Steer clear!
The last time I was there I had some dodgy oysters and was violently ill for the next 48 hours. Not surprisingly I have been rather fearful of going back there, although I did go to an 18th birthday party there last year and to be honest the food and service left a lot to be desired. I certainly wouldn't recommend it.
Wow Louisa - strong words from one visit - perhaps a little harsh?! I've been a couple of times and I think it rates alongside Le Chardon. The nights where they have live music are great, but is a little overpriced (like Le Chardon). I believe the owners also own the little coffee shop in the village.
i like it for breakfast - but made the mistake of going there for sunday lunch and it was FULL of children running around banging into our table without their parents, or the staff giving a damm. when we very politely complained, the father of the devil children threatened to "knock us into tomorrow" and said we shouldn't go out on sundays if we don;t like children. i don't mind children, but i get a bit put out when they jump up and down while holding onto the back of my chair while i;m trying to eat my sunday roast... would say the clientele there leave something to be desired.... :X

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
