The decor is nice, the food was tasty, well presented, nice enough. Maybe a bit pricey. But unbelievably limited options for GF. Especially in 2023! We had told the pub on booking one of our number was GF so it was not a surprise/unexpected drop in. They didn 't seem to care. Particularly as the menu a) has a huge bread bias...brioche here, toast there, burger buns and soda bread elsewhere and b) is not easily available online. When there we asked what was suitable for a GF diet...there was such a limited choice unless you wanted mussels/baked Camembert/pate/soup with nothing to have with it. Surely in this day and age it is not beyond the wit of man/restaurant to have a GF bread available?...
I am not a regular at this restaurant, even though I live locally. I had enjoyed good meals during my previous visits. Without being able to view the menu beforehand, we took our time to look through the menu and special board. I was particularly excited to see that whole sea bass was a special at £19. After ordering drinks and food, we had a nice chat with our friends. Starters arrived - my wife and I shared the Camembert for £13 and also had 2 parfait for £11 each. For mains, we had 2 Asparagus tarts for £16, pie of the day for £16, and the sea bass for £19. All the dishes arrived in a timely manner except for the sea bass, which took an additional 5 minutes. When it did arrive, it was ove...
We have been coming to the John O’Gaunt in Sutton for some time now and have followed Jane from The Hare and Hounds their previous venue. Always a great welcome from Jane and you are immediately struck by the welcoming atmosphere and the lovely way the pub/restaurant is presented………make’s you feel welcome somehow. The food is great too……..I like to be presented with a small but enticing menu to choose from and you just know it will be well cooked and well presented which it is. My tip……have a bowel of olives and a glass of wine or beer and then look at the menu to decide. We had king prawns and spiced cauliflower fritters to start and as mains……pie of the day and mushroom burger…..both with...
Ignore the moaning mini this pub is wonderful. Ate here again on Saturday night and when its so hard for ever business but especially the hospitality sector we are so lucky to have such a good local pub. Staff wonderful and smiley Decor is just lovely Food very, very good. Lots of clever little touches highly recommend the chick liver with comes with this amazing little blob of puree curried dahl with totally lights the dish. Beef had a little dumpling lid and my son said his burger, which comes with shredded lettuce and a fab sauce, was the best ever. Oh yes and everything is beautifully season with salt and pepper. This place is so worth a visit time and again. Thank you team John O'Gaunt

A very disappointing Sunday lunch, very few vegetables a couple of spoons of cabbage, one very small piece of broccoli. Seemed to want to fill us up with mashed potatoes, 2 roast potatoes and large Yorkshire pudding. Two skinny pieces of beef. Not up to their pre Covid standard and expensive for what it was at £20. Used to be superb food … not any more.
Overpriced, underwhelmed, miniature portion of vegetables and defensive owner I will never return Ordered cauliflower Mac and cheese with vegetables Imagined cauliflower steak, large macaroni with thick strong cheese sauce and a selection of veg. Sadly my hopes didn’t materialise. Received a ramekin 2/3rds full...
We visited this restaurant for the first time and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, the service was great, and the atmosphere was lovely. Our steak was cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and attentive. It was not a planned outing, but I'm happy we decided to go. We would definitely return.
I highly recommend this great restaurant with unpretentious yet attentive and precise service. The imaginative combinations of fresh ingredients are delightful, and the seating arrangements create a calm and intimate atmosphere despite the bustling restaurant.

Lovely Sunday lunch here again. Warm welcome and attentive service. Lovely menu, I had the vegetarian options, tempura asparagus and sweet potato curry. My partner enjoyed the soup and roast pork. Two lovely desserts. Highly recommended.
