Good food, but expensive and sometimes let down by the waiting staff. Bill is the front of house manager and is very welcoming.

We came here as a family for my mum and dads wedding anniversary, I haven’t been here for many years and since I last went, it has been taken over by new owners, we all sat down and had a beautiful meal and the service was great. Such a lovely place in a beautiful countryside. Staff very polite also. Will definately return.

We have been dining at the Dog & Hedgehog since 1970s on and off. Absolutely gutted that it will be closing. One of the best restaurants in the area in my opinion. Made extra special by Bill the general manager. What a character he is! Happy retirement Bill, you will be missed xx

Unfortunately the Dog & Hedgehog is closing for good in a couple of weeks. Food not so good on our recent visit. Sadly though we are losing one of the few pub / restaurants around that are worth going back to.

Absolutely fantastic, excellent food, good beer selection, excellent customer service. Our go-to destination for meals out with family or friends. The menu is fantastic, have sampled most of it (except the vegetarian stuff) and never had a dud, specials are always delicious. Worst bit about it is having to choose what to have, as could gladly eat it all!

We were on a canal holiday and decided to try this pub. We are so glad we did- we cannot praise it enough, all the staff made a fuss of our dog, even had special dog treats. We were made welcome and all the staff including the brilliant Landlord made time to talk to us. The food was excellent, we both had calves liver, beautifully cooked. The desserts were also delicious. The pub itself was nicely decorated and spotless clean. We tried to go there again on return trip but it was a Sunday so they were closed in the evening. Can’t fault it, only wished we lived nearer!

We arrived to find a very well situated pub with lovely countryside views and ample parking. The premises were presented to a high standard, light airy, nicely furnished and tastefully decorated. We took friends for a special lunch and were met by a very dapper host, who after seeing off another party with handshakes for the men and hugs and kisses for the ladies greeted us like old friends. Two of our party ordered gammon, including myself. Oh dear! There it was, the smallest piece of gammon I have ever seen, hiding under an egg, a small egg at that, a desert spoonful of peas and 10 insipid looking chips which had clearly been kept warm for quite a while. The other two had sausage and mash which was better, but two sausages, really! We didn't make a fuss as it was a special day not to be spoiled further. Needless to say, we won't be returning.

Visited here with a friend for dinner. Starters arrived and were fine, main course was mussels. I discreetly went to the bar to mention I felt that my meal had a funny aftertaste, mussels are not something I would chance if I felt they were not fresh. Manager was patronising, he then proceeded to get my dish to pass around the staff to sniff. This was both embarrassing and intimidating. My friend then admitted he had made a comment when we initially received our meals that he had “sprinkled with gluten”, I am gluten intolerant and at this point we settled the slightly reduced bill and left. The Hercules 5 minutes down the road was far more accommodating and reassuring on their handling of allergies.

Went for a family Sunday lunch to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday so there was 10 of us We booked at short notice as our BBQ plans were scuppered by the awful weather Despite fitting us in we were made to feel welcome and had a very nice table with a window overlooking fields with horses in. The adults all had Sunday roast which was served up quickly was hot and tasty with plenty of side dishes of veg (no extra charge) which is unusual these days! The children had smaller portions or something off the kids menu...nothing was too much trouble. The service was second to none and the drinks were reasonably priced too. We had brought in a special cake for my husband and they brought it to the table whilst we all sang happy birthday it was lovely All in all it was a lovely meal with white tablecloths and roses on the table which made it seem so special Thankyou again d&g for a lovely time spent in your great restaurant We will definitely come back

Nice pub and it's dog friendly to boot. Very nice staff but the publican is a bit strange. I asked one of the staff if I might sit on a reserved table as there were no other spaces available and they said it was fine. The owner came over and admonished me for potentially dirtying the cloth (which I hadn't) which I totally understand. There's just a way to speak to people though and that wasn't it. I've been there a few times but before and since but his rudeness has always stuck with me. The meals are slightly overpriced but my experience really takes it from a 5 star to a 3 in my opinion.

Visited today for Sunday Lunch and it was lovely, a spacious pub with different bar, restaurant and outdoor areas, catering for all (Nice décor throughout and the added bonus of a real fire!) . The staff were lovey and enthusiastic to please. Serves traditional pub food at very reasonable prices and we all had different meals and all of us were pleased with the quality of food and service. My only feedback (and this is feedback, not criticism!) is that they only had one 'light' dish on the menu which was a Chicken Ceaser Salad.. which is what 'all pubs do and is probably the most boring Salad of all time lol .. if they came up with a different kind of 'Light Lunch' option then I think it would be a 100% from me, other than that, still 99% (I just had a main which was gorgeous and didn't eat the chips which made it a light lunch). Still gets 5 Stars from me despite this.
