from across the pond

only thinggoodwas our waitress. fish & chips claims “award winning", that award must be for worst fish & chips! tasted terrible, didn't eat them and had them taken off our ticket. cheese fries were bearable at best... cheese was tasteless. won't ever go back, no need. completes the series of terrible restaurants on bedford-euless rd. no reason to even travel the route.

service is very very slow, the waitstaff is more interested in talking to each other and are always on their cell phones.  menu is ok, overpriced for the portions.  the food isgoodhowever, just dont be in a hurry when going.  and where is the "pub", they only have four or five beers on tap, and limited bar.  if you want a pub feel, fo to the londoner or the ginger man...they have lots of beers on tap.

sok. the people were very friendly. i ordered the fish n chips and shepherd's pie. the fish wasgoodbut they didn't give any malt vinegar!? the shepherds pie was big but needed some more vegetables in it.

where's the pub?. at first glace the prices may surprise you, but the portions are exuberant! take in stride that an item such as the shephard's pie is truly enough to feed three. no joke! the food is quite decent, and all made fresh. the rolls were fresh, and such a great start to our meal. they were fresh and light, but let's just say it. you don't need a ton of parsley all over them with the olive oil. it's not necessary, just overkill. less is better, and these rolls are perfect without all the green!
this was my first time coming here, and i will say this now. ..yes, the food was good, but the atmosphere is cold. no warmth, and the staff, well the menu had more personality than our server. i saw the owner talking to a couple of patrons, and seemed very nice. unfortunately our waitress was very distracted with her 2 tables, one of which was at the bar, and she held no regard for follow up. i tried 3 times to ask for some hot tea or something warm, and finally gave up. i don't know her name, she never gave it. in fact when she gave us our bill, she took off before my husband actually could ask about dessert. i came there, because i sawgoodreviews, and i wanted to try somegoodenglish pub food. the food was good, but where was the english pub? well there was about 3 beers on tap, all of about 7 wine glasses hanging, and no evidence of any real wine to choose from. very limiting, and being that it was 5 o' clock, it would have been nice to just relax. we felt a bit cold, not cozy, despite the sign saying "come in a stranger go out being friends". not just the staff at hand, but the decor could use some warmth to it. it is a pub, right??
regardless of the price of the meal, i will go back sometime and try again. hopefully we just got them on an off day. even on an off day the food was good. my husband's fish and chips were decent. fresh fries, homemade, just needs more cod. two fillets and 2/3 of a plate of fries is a bit uneven. the mashed peas, were great, and the chips n' gravy was really hearty and inviting. you cannot really mess up shepard's pie, it was good, a huge portion, with homemade mashed potatoes to top. this recipe is good, a bit tomatoey, but over all good. i would eat this again. i hope to try other parts of the menu, hopefully next time we will get a server willing to talk, and walk us through the menu. maybe even wanting to stick around and add onto the bill by just making suggestions. we are the customers, we don't know the menu. tell us what is to die for. tell us what is the #1 item, and why.

great food, warm-hearted restaurant. from across the pond is a family-owned and family-run restaurant in colleyville. when you walk in you’ll immediately be greeted by either one of the owners, lee and emma, or another lovely member of their family. soon after being seated, you’ll be served some of the most delicious bread with marinara sauce you’ve ever eaten. i know weird right, italian bread at a british restaurant? well, not so much. from across the pond used to be a pizza/pasta joint, so lee and emma decided to keep some of their delicious italian food on the menu.

speaking of the menu, they have a wide range of foods. if you’re in the mood for italian, they have the usual fare – lasagna, alfredo, pizza – but you must absolutely try their pasta michelangelo. just trust me. it’s delicious. if you’re in the mood for british, they have phenomenal bangers and mash, and their fish and chips are delicious and authentic. i’m british myself and have taken four generations of my family here and we all agree: this is authentic stuff. the menu is going through a bit of a transition now... you can order “off the menu” and get chicken tikka masala (which i have heard is fantastic), as well as scotch eggs and battered sausage. all things i can’t wait to try. and i’ve heard there are more exciting things to come. and finally, if you have enough room for dessert, they have the most mouthwatering bread and butter pudding. not too sweet, creamy with a bit of a crunch.

i love this place for so many reasons. the owners are so lovely and take time to interact with as many diners as they can. you can tell they have put their heart and soul into this restaurant. they have thursday night karaoke early enough to be kid-friendly. it’s byob so i can save money and take my own bottle of wine. they have the largest gluten-free menu around (lee and his son both have celiac disease). add to thatgoodfood at agoodprice point, it simply can’t be beat.

where's the rabbit. verygoodeven if you can't get rabbit.
now if i could get a pint of guinnes it be perfect.
when will you have it on tap????

from across the pond is a great restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. the british menu items are great, and they still have the old joe's favorites for when you're feeling nostalgic. the owners are incredibly wonderful, and their accents aren't fake!! it only makes sense for a restaurant so aptly named to have two people running it that grew up on the food they serve. you'd be hard pressed to find a better local business with asgoodof service or traditional british pub favorites. be sure to stop in and give this place a shot. you won't leave disappointed, or hungry!

disappointing. not sogoodfood, not sogoodservice, and the owner calls you a liar when you try to provide constructive criticism. enough said, you are warned. had hoped this would have been a small corner of home, very disappointed.

the food wasn't bad at all. however, with the name and promise of a british menu, i found their selection very limited. thete was maybe 4 british dishes on the menu and the rest was stuff i could get anywhere. just a bit disappointed. the fish and chips were verygoodbut took forever to get to the table during lunch without many people in the place.
