Linda and the team at lunchtime today were really lovely. We were so impressed to see the whole team working together and all helping each other out. The food was excellent and tasted gorgeous, would definitely recommend calling in for food if you’re in the area. I know we’ll be back next time we’re here in a few months time.

What an exceptional experience. Staff were caring, attentive and friendly from start to finish. They made a wonderful recommendation to add chicken to the Mac and cheese - wouldn’t have thought of that myself! The festive cocktails were delicious too and I’ll definitely have to pop back in for another spiced rum and raspberry mule. Couldn’t fault this place at all. Update ☺️ we came back for food yesterday and it was great the staff were very busy but still so lovely and the food was great again we had the light bites menu. They are also dog friendly 🐕

Good food and friendly service, will visit again soon. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and the only reason for 4 stars for service was we decided to eat in the bar area and order at the bar, so only a reduced service rather than poor.

The kids meal that we ordered wasn’t available, and then they didn’t have the desert either (chocolate ice cream) We had to ask for missing items from his main meal. My meal came with different veg than was on the menu. The mash was rubbery and the duck was chewy. My husband’s beer was also flat. We didn’t get food until 45 minutes after we arrived, which wasn’t ideal with a two year old. Despite adding a high hair when I booked, we had to ask and wait for one. The table was sticky. We were sat next to a fire exit that was locked, but draughty. I really wanted like it there, it looks lovely from the outside. My husband went years ago and said the food was fantastic, but that wasn’t the case this time. We won’t go back. I didn’t enjoy the evening at all.

The staff could not do enough to make welcome, especially Helen who carried out the main service to the table. We had the set 3 course meal which was plenty for an afternoon meal. The chicken dippers fish and chips and apple and blackberry crumble was superb. We can not recommend enough.

Unfortunately we will not be returning to the cottage loaf. We came for a set meal, but were left waiting over an hour for our starters (3 soups and 1 chicken strips which were smaller than my finger), then left to wait another 40 minutes for ‘small portion’ lunch mains. Due to the long wait, we could not wait any longer for the mains (having asked numerous times for an eta and already expressed our lack of time due to the delay), so we graciously went to pay for what we had consumed. We were still left with a charge of +£36 despite only having starters and a soft drink each. The staff, which we appreciated seemed busy, did nothing to ease our concerns nor offer anything due to our inconvenience. We were not the only table today to have grievances with the food and wait. Very disappointing.

Really sad to say we would not return here for food. We waited nearly an hour and a half for our starters to arrive: a very small bowl of watery tomato soup and a plate with 3 chicken strips the size of a little finger next to some shrivelled leaves. We waited another 40 mins, and our mains never arrived, by which point we were very hungry and fed up waiting. We then got stung with a £30+ bill for the 4 sad starters and 4 soft drinks. Whilst we appreciate they looked low on staff, they should not have taken on food orders if they did not have the capacity. The lighter lunch “mains” that arrived on the tables near to us were not even a child’s portion. Really disappointing as we used to really like this place.

Regularly visit here for the amazing pub quiz on a Wednesday night but booked a festive meal for the Christmas Quiz. Was a little apprehensive after a few issues last Christmas, but wow what a difference a new manager makes!!!! The staff were so organised and attentive from the second you walked in. And most importantly, how happy and jovial the staff all were!! (Such a change after last year!) James put us right at ease by confirming our meal orders we had pre-booked and attending to drinks. The food was very quick to arrive and in our party there were a variety of meals but we all thoroughly enjoyed both main and dessert courses. (The salmon and the gold chocolate cheesecake were especially delicious - my favourite Christmas meal in the past 7 years). It's so nice to see Linda and the team transform the cottage loaf back to the lovely country pub we are all used to. Huge thank you to James, Steve, Ashley and Helen for a wonderful Christmas celebration with family and other regulars!

We had preordered and our food was served all of us together and was both delicious and hot. No mean feat on an extremely busy day. There was a live singer so we had a dance which was great.

Fantastic atmosphere, warm and cosy and suitable for dog walkers and their tired four legged friend to take a rest. Our servers, Kerry and Emily were superb and attentive. They checked on us regularly on the food that were served and if we had enough drinks. Compliments to the chefs, Luke and Johnny. The food was delicious and outstanding, the fish was very fresh.
