About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
The Cumberland promotes live sport with Sky Sports and TNT Sports and invites pre-match meet-ups, making it a dependable spot to watch football with a match-day atmosphere. It publishes upcoming fixtures, so fans can plan around televised games. Food is served from late morning through the evening (11:00–21:00), which works for grabbing a bite before an early kick-off or after a later match while staying for the broadcast.

Dry burger. Overcooked steak, got a well done one, asked for Medium Rare, generic frozen chips and the chicken wings were somewhat gelatinous. It says a lot about a place when the best food item was the onion rings. Beer was good though.
A large pub, dog friendly & has got sky sports! Has a large outdoor sitting area. Customer service spot on. I was a in a party of 6 people on Sunday 7th September. 5 of us had a roast dinner, ( has a vegetarian option) and a pudding of choice costing £12 each which was very good value. 1 had a curry and said it was nice. If you have a car you have to pay £5.50 for 2 hours or £3.50 for 1 hour, BUT, you redeem at the bar when ordering and is taken off your bill. I assume people were parking in thr pub car park when visiting the hospital which is across the road. Don't do half pints on pints, which is different. Overall I had a good laugh with my family and the food was good, so I can't complain. Booking a table for a few people is recommended. Access with deep steps, you would need to contact the pub if there is a disabled access.
Greene King always have decent cheap food with good vegan options. £12.99 for two nice mains midweek is really good value. Edit- I've been hit by a £100 fine for not paying for parking!! I saw no signs and what sort of pub charges for parking and doesn't even attempt to inform you.... Avoid these scammers
Live down the road from The Cumberland, foods always nice at decent prices. And the beers is always good aswell. Friendly staff, good prices! Shout out to Karen for looking after us and having a laugh with us!
Went into the pub and found that i had to scan a qr code to access gluten free menu so i scaned code but the menu would not load i went up to the bar and explained i was having a problem with the menu loading and the man behind the bar was so rude and unhelpful and not prepared to offer any assistance. I sat down and told my husband he then tried to load the code and the same happened would not load he then went to the bar and explained the issue at first the man tried to dismiss him as well until he told him we had paid 9.50 for parking and if we did not eat there we would loose the parking rebate so the man then gave him a tablet for me to pick a meal. I picked a gluten free burger and was then told even though i had ordered gluten free he would not guarantee this. His whole attitude was awful and i feel i was being spoken down to. This man had no customer service skills and made my visit stressful also not impressed i was made to feel so uncomfortable and discriminated against because of my diet needs. The big chain pubs have a lot to learn from smaller pubs that offer a far better experience.
