“ Had such a nice time there! Service was stunning and the food was amazing! You can tell they put pride into their food and you know its locally sourced, great to see business putting back into locally grown suppliers. Wait staff were amazing too, making sure our needs were tended too. Will definitely be recommending this place to our friends!. Our waiter Tom was so good too! He explained the menu perfectly to us! ”

“ Just recently found out about Franklin's so off we went! They have a different menu every day (?). The service is spectacular (well done) and the food? Well, the oysters are FRESH! And delicious . The food is very good and, as in said before, check out the menu before you go so you can always make sure that there's going to be something you'll like. Food is fresh and tasty and cooked beautifully (compliments to the chef ). I thoroughly recommend that you give Franklin's a visit when you can. It's a really lovely place with great food and excellent service. ”

“ Franklins is a local treasure - good for both special occasions and relaxed evenings the food is great, with thoughtful and creative menus prepared with passion. The atmosphere is cosy and friendly ”

“ We celebrated our wedding breakfast at Franklin's in September, and it was an unforgettable day-to-evening experience. The food at Franklin's is always exceptional and distinctive, perfectly capturing their ethos of nose-to-tail cooking and authentic dining. We’ve always loved the restaurant’s unique blend of a relaxed pub atmosphere with refined touches, like white tablecloths, which made it feel both warm and elegant for our special occasion. The staff were outstanding, with Siobhan in particular going above and beyond to make everything perfect. She was relaxed, attentive, and called us a few times beforehand to confirm all the details, ensuring everything was well-organised. I was especially touched when she asked about the colours of my bridal bouquet so she could match the table flowers — a small but thoughtful detail that made the day feel even more personal. The room was beautifully decorated, and the service throughout was impeccable — professional, attentive, and seamless. They took great care of our guests, catering to kids' food preferences and accommodating requests with ease. A few days before the wedding, we dropped in for an impromptu wine tasting, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Thanks to the fantastic team at Franklin's — from management to waitstaff and chefs — our wedding breakfast is a memory we will always cherish. We can’t wait to return soon! Ellis & Nick ”

“ Great gastro pub / restaurant on Lordship Lane. The service was great and a v seasonal delicious menu! We went for Burns and loved it! ”

“ Had a gorgeous celebratory meal at this pub. The vibes are low-key, but the service and food is fantastic. It's the perfect spot for a really special meal (without needing to dress up!) My partner had the veggie sausages as a non-vegetarian and said they were one of the best things he's ever had. Would really recommend! ”

“ We had a lovely evening... Great service and atmosphere. I enjoyed the wine list and also the limited but very interesting menu with options for everyone. I prefer to have set of 5 to 8 starters and same for the mains. I expected my schnitzel different, or next time call it schnitzel with sauce over it and fried egg.. but it was good but very filling (not so light ). Cremant d'alsace (Champagne from the Alsace) was very good. ”

“ Went for a Sunday roast at Frankins. The food was absolutely amazing and the settings in the restaurant are lovely. Highly recommend ”
