Enjoyed the neighborhood pub one evening. The fish and chips were excellent. Great for a casual evening out.

Great place to try English fare and Englisg beers. Loved the Fish and Chips.

I don't usually write reviews unless a place is really special so here we go. From the outside The Toad in the Hole doesn't look like a real pub, unless you are delighted that Spoons has taken over a former Greggs. (If you don't get that comparison you need a trip across the pond to a declining post industrial city like Sheffield to help you understand.)However, inside this place looks right, smells right and sounds right, especially the Brummie behind the bar!And most importantly it tastes right. Good beer, cider and food. It's a pity they didn't have any curry sauce for my chips, (though the barman didn't rate it so maybe it's OK). I've eaten much worse fish and chips in my time and declared them really good. The Cornish pasty was also up to snuff. The beer bores in our group were happy with their bevvies and my cider was also good.Next time I'm in this neck of the woods (from South Carolina) I'll be back to try something different....and the curry sauce.

Bloody Brilliant! Service, ambiance, and owner were the highlights of an Authentic British Pub in the heart of Santa Rosa. Will make this a frequent stop any time I'm in town. Sheppard's Pie, Guinness Beef Pasty and Mash, and Fish and Chips were the highlight. Curry Chips deserve an honorable mention!

Delicious food and fantastic service, I felt right at home. The pasty was perfect, and the bartender Bella couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Big fan of this place and I'll definitely be back

Great Fish & Chips, Guinness on tap - what more could you ask?

Good effort to try and get some of the spirit of a British pub. Having been warned off the bangers and mash, I had the shepherd's pie. Good, could have used a richer gravy, but better than many. Fuller's London Pride tasted washed out and lifeless. Now that could be that I have lived in the US for more than 20 years and call a NW IPA my drink of choice or it could be that it doesn't travel or was not well kept.. I would have liked to try the pasty for this review but the menu described them as mini, which steered me away.

I love this place. I so enjoyed conversing with Paul, the owner. Its a great little place to grab a pint or three; and they are featuring live music more frequently these days too.

Spent the night in Santa Rosa and ended the night at this pub. Super friendly bartender :) It was just the place to unwind and have a drink. The Golden State Radical Guava cider was so good and the service was even better! Awesome place, hope to be back to try the food. Highly recommend!
First time going, had a few henhouse beers and their ?, I was speechless, done to perfection, flavor and presentation. I'll give it a 10!

Ok this is a hole in the wall but that's what makes it so great. Guinness beer on tap, Fish and Chips was delicious, genuinely delicious. But the real star was their burger. Cooked to perfection (medium-rare), juicy, soft bun, sautéed onions, just the way a burger should be. Honestly I'm coming back for the burger itself. I vote you give this place a few chances, the menu is small but based on the meals we ate, I have no doubt the rest of the menu is great. Plus, service was really spot on. Delightful!

I loved being called "mate" by a guy with a Cockney accent. Plenty of great beer choices on tap.

great fish and chips with a mountain of fries. got a 2 piece for 20 bucks but there was a ton of food and it was great. wait person. is that what we say now?, was a knockout

Come here because they had live music playing that night. The music was good but I personally think the bar is a bit small for having an entire band inside. It made it so no one was able to have an actual conversation. The food is okay, slightly on the bland side, overall would benefit from more seasoning on everything. The server was super on top of it and all the staff was very efficient! I do like a limited menu, but theirs lacks options for picky eaters. I also think if you're going to have such a limited menu the food that is available should be awesome and well done.
