[Kenson Wong](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106048844946601228495/reviews) ★★★★★

I'd rate the food around 4.5/5. Portions are generous, especially the meat, though sometimes it can be a bit dry-likely slightly overcooked. Other times, it's really good. This place is very family-friendly, with lots of kids around, making it a great spot to bring children and spend a relaxed afternoon. Service is friendly, the environment is clean, and there's a free car park with plenty of spaces, so it's usually easy to find parking.

Come to Clocktower on a regular basis for my children to offload. We enjoy the food, service is great. Atmosphere- a bit loud. Robin was host today she was very friendly/polite.

Disappointed with our most recent visit. We came a few weeks ago with our two year old and got two carvery’s, drinks and the free highchair bowl this was a lovely meal and we spent just over £40 So when our friends came down from London to visit we took them, this time we went large with our carvery’s, got the desert deal added along with our drinks and “free highchair bowl” it came to over £60. However when I looked at our bill I was charged for the highchair bowl, I questioned this after being given the receipt and was told it’s because we’d added the desserts on so it wasn’t valid. However looking at the menu it only says free highchair bowl with paying adult meal no t&c listed. - I also paid cash so refunding me wouldn’t have been an issue. Very disappointed with this false advertising, even though the highchair bowl isn’t a big cost it was very disappointing especially as we’d spent much more than our prior visit.
