Another review from Metro Magazine was less positive, stating that the restaurant's menu was "uninspired" and lacked creativity.
Online reviews of The Franklin are also mixed. Some customers have raved about the pub's cozy atmosphere and delicious food, while others have complained about slow service and high prices. One customer on TripAdvisor wrote that they had a "fantastic meal" at The Franklin and would definitely return, while another reviewer on Zomato said that they were disappointed with their experience and felt that the food was overpriced.

Overall, it seems that opinions on The Franklin are divided. While some customers have had great experiences at this pub/restaurant, others have been disappointed by slow service or lackluster food.
