General Elliott in Warrington

Quaint pub with pleasant staff, an array of beers and a nice menu. A friendly greeting as soon as we arrived and great meal with family. Very enjoyable and would certainly recommend.

Had a lovely meal tonight just one problem we where a party of 4 and one of the main meals came well after the 3 of us had finish . Lovely place waitress tonight superb but being let down by simple things .

Food was nice once it arrived to the table but it was a 45 minute wait for starters, no one came over to check if we wanted more drinks or to see if everything was ok. It seemed like it was just one chef on as all the food was coming out so late. It was a shame as we probably won't go back with the service being how it was.

We visited The General Elliot for Sunday lunch with friends and, unfortunately, left feeling very disappointed. The food was extremely poor, particularly the burgers. Three of our friends ordered burgers, expecting a hearty meal, but what arrived was underwhelming—two very small patties that were barely noticeable in the bun. The portion size and presentation did not match what was described on the menu. When a member of staff checked if we were happy with our meals, we mentioned our disappointment with the burgers, only to receive a dismissive response of, "That's how they come." There was no offer to rectify the issue or even acknowledge our feedback properly. We hadn’t dined here in a few years, and sadly, this experience has not encouraged us to return anytime soon. With so many great pubs offering quality Sunday lunches, we expected better. A real shame, as this used to be a lovely place to eat.

Lovely, well cooked and presented food, will definitely go again

Thought pub was beautiful lovley staff, not been for years, food was delicious, but desert apple crumble wasn’t good too sloppy, too sweet not enough crumble, but we had Blade of Beef fabulous, will definitely go again thankyou

Lovely staff , very attentive and most importantly the food was delicious . Everything home made , what more can u ask for . Highly recommend a visit . Already booking our next visit

Food not the worst but certainly not value for money, no vegan options (only 1 vegetarian option ....so had to adapt a meal for one of our party (basically removed the cheese) very expensive for small portions. Also had to ask for forgotten items .. coffees arrived luke warm.

Delicious food and great serrvice at a good price. Nice cosy pub atmosphere. A special shout out for the home made gravy which was absolutely yummy. What’s not to like?

Christmas dinner As we arrived in car park customers who were leaving said don’t bother as service was no existent When we entered told to buy our drinks at bar.1st larger was totally flat and had to be replaced with an alternative which was not much better. Asked for a baileys to b told they had none . were told to go outside to tepi and wait to b called to table .after a 20 minute wait we were called to table looked like it hadn’t been cleaned since last sitting Went to bar to find only 1 staff serving When asked for a coffee was told i don’t work here and told I don’t know how to work machine .after a further 90minutes our starters arrived which were a poor imitation of what was advertised ie smoked salmon prawn capers then had to ask for dipping starter which was advertised but hadn’t been served as apparently had to request which turned out to a bowl of oil with I suspect to b basmati sauce and a bowl of olives and some stale bread As I was with a party of 6 people paying £82.50 per head i was expecting a slightly better service After a few enquiries was told the chef had died a few days ago My heart goes out to his family But why o why did Henry go ahead with opening on Christmas Day There was only a brilliant young girl of maybe 14 years of age serving all the tables who was the star of the day along with a woman who turned out to be henrys mother serving the whole event. why didn’t Henry just cancel the day in respect for the poor person who passed away I could go on and on about the food or service but to no avail as when I went to see Henry in the kitchen I was unceremoniously told to leave as police would be called grabbed by the neck and pushed out of the door Went back to table for his mother to come and whisper in my ear do I live in the village which I replied no to then b told not to come here again Having only had 4 olives Having returned a crusty prawn mush Waited a further hour for main to appear which was totally inedible At this point I was fuming and had to go outside to calm down 40 minutes later the party I was with came out saying they had had enough as desserts had not arrived My partner made a formal complaint to Henry The next day she received a email from Henry saying to supply her email address as he would return £517 .70 As of today 23/1 and repeated emails which he doesn’t reply to we have received nothing Would have liked to have found out why none of his staff had turned up to work

We had Christmas lunch here and it was poor from start to finish. We were shown to our table and waited but no-one came to take a drink order (unlike last year and precious visits throughout the year). I then had to go and wait in a queue to order drinks, only 1 person on the bar who was not in a rush and most beers were off, no alcohol free unless it was Guinness. Waited for the breads/olives only for the starters to come out, asked for the olives and breads, eventually sent olives out and also gave a large table next to us olives in the middle of eating Christmas dinner...no sign of breads. Sons starter didn't arrive, was told quality was not good and they could offer an alternative (fine) which he chose apple. Had to ask for cutlery and chase up his starter after a further 20 minutes, we had eaten ours by the time his arrived. The mains were ok but for a Christmas meal (and basing this on previous years) you would expect a Yorkshire pudding and some veg on the plate, we had 1 carrot and some cabbage.. Food was ok but not to precious standards, the meal was very expensive including our drinks for the day circa £300ish for 2 adults/2 children. For that price you expect good service and a much better ambience. Last year there was a jazz musician too. Instead lots were complaining or leaving due to the service or lack of. I used to love this place but sadly will be out last time as we will be looking for somewhere else next Christmas. If you can't do a good job, you really shouldn't bother.

Food wait over 40 mins and food cold and had to wait to order for 1 hour + and food to expensive (had 1 English breakfast and costes a LOT)

When I made the booking, I told a member of staff that someone in my family has allergy to butter. We told the waitress this when we ordered because she never asked us, obviously came back with buttered bread on the pate starter. We asked again to make sure that the main course and dessert would not be cooked with butter when we were served both courses we asked if they contain butter and the reply was probably asked to see the manager and was told he was hiding in the kitchen and would not come out. Also not impressed with sexist remarks from bar staff.

Staff nice and friendly ,menu on line is not the same as in pub, not a great deal to choose from. Food OK not great

Awful experience very young inexperienced staff cold mulled wine food that came out after we had finished eating that we had waited for and a manager that really couldn’t care less after speaking with me and we wasn’t the only disgruntled customers . Won’t wast my hard earned money there again.

Very poor service. mulled wine cold side dish came after we had all eaten spoke to the manager and he wasn’t interested at all . Will never be going back and we wasn’t the only disgruntled people there was quite a few .

Went today for Sunday lunch with family the pub was less than a third full. Waited quite a while for any drinks order to be taken with the young waitress unable to tell us what draught lager was available her excuse was she is didn’t know, being underage and can’t drink.Tip …train your staff. Waited quite a while for food order to arrive.The chicken Sunday lunch was dry, roast potatoes lukewarm and the gravy tasteless and watery .The roast beef on another was overdone . Maybe better luck with desserts?..The apple cherry crumble had to be sent back as the crumble topping was capable of breaking teeth .A substitute was given when brought to their attention. Chocolate brownie with one scoop of ice cream which was half melted before dessert cutlery was brought after asking.Tip again train your staff and up your presentation on the desserts. Lovely location shame about the food .

We couldn't have asked for a warmer, more friendly, welcome! The entire staff, bar none, were exceptional. The decor was elegant and festive. Music was fantastic. Food was great, but duck was definitely overcooked, unfortunately. Lots of choices for starters and mains for GFO, but slightly disappointing for GFO puddings. We would absolutely return.

Attended a wreath making event at the General Elliott on the 3rd of December. It was a stunning event, so well delivered. The Tee Pee is beautiful andd so festive, the food was gorgeous, the wine was amazing and the company and atmosphere unforgettable. Thank you for hosting such a wonderful evening. Holly

After 20 years visiting the General Elliott this will be our last time.The owner was very dismissive when we said it has cold, he went away shaking his head, he said it was cold outside as well!3 of us ordered Fish and chips and we were it told was not available even though we were first in to dine( one of the most popular dishes)We ordered steak and ale pie,there was no pastry in the pie just some puff pastry on top,the pie had quite a few carrots as a filler and one of my friends has quite a bit of grissle in. Will higher than average prices( ie fish and chips £17) we expected good food and service both of which were lacking. This is the my first trip even adviser review, our friends tried to persuade us not to go after reading previous poor reviews,we wanted to find out for ourselves and were greatly disappointed.

Made special effort to drive for a pub meal. Kitchen was closed.

This is now an unrepentant Dog Friendly pub where you can't eat without being surrounded by the creatures. I'm happy they should be welcome but believe they should be kept away from areas where food is being served. Today some of them were so smelly it was horrible and we counted upwards of 12 at one point. I'd always enjoyed the food too until today. My Japanese burger was just battered chicken with not much flavour and my friends chicken stroganoff did not taste like strogonoff at all. The sauce was very watery. We did not receive any discount when we complained. Sorry to say we won't be back any time soon.

Didn't have food but coffee was good and service good. Went for a wake, food looked good and kept fresh, very impressed

Had the after funeral do here was impressed with the staff and atmosphere

Two of us went for an early mid week dinner. I had the mushroom stroganoff which came with chips and my friend had steak and chips. My meal was ok but it was lukewarm and the chips were a bit scraggy. My friend said her steak was quite chewy. Pleasant staff but slow service.

Hidden Gem. Outstanding staff venue and food. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for Sunday lunch. 10/10 Thank you. Chris

The GE is our new favourite local after moving to the area in May. It's such a cosy, homely place with a good selection of drinks and food. We've eaten there a few times and it's always been spot on. Will be going to their firework display this year which we're excited about

Disappointing, took my family from other side of Manchester here tonight after having a positive experience in the summer, went for the Sunday dinner after not having blade of beef on the menu which I can imagine is a big seller, we all went for the Sunday dinner there was no cauliflower cheese or red cabbage even there say there is on there “sample” menu they advertise so the main course didn’t fill us up, 3 choices of starters so we didn’t have any, waiters are lovely but it wasn’t busy, took awhile to take our plates away and also lost out on making more money for the business by not asking if we wanted anymore drinks when we had finished them half way through our meal, poor choices of desserts so we have come home hungry. Not one to complain about food but shouldn’t have too, we will stick with your competitive Sunday dinner restaurants within the area…

Classy but down to earth and friendly. Delicious, quality restaurant food. A lovely atmosphere and dog friendly. Will return.

Waited over 40 mins for food, we ordered two roast beef dinners with extra potatoes. Firstly they brought the extra potatoes out first which where cold, few mins later the dinner arrived, the beef was very tough couldn’t cut it and the rest was cold , only thing hot was the extra pot of gravy. Staff seemed new as they didn’t really know what to do, apart from being told by some guy walking round on a laptop telling them what needed doing. When I complained I was either offered to have the meals recooked ( didn’t want to wait another 45 mins or a free dessert ( didn’t fancy a dessert after not eating my main. Still ended up paying for some thing I didn’t eat , very expensive for awful food , will not be returning !!

Very nice food. Lovely staff but a bit overpriced.

Food was amazing. Shame about the manager though, very rude and pompous. Attitude and demeanour was awful. Wouldn’t recommend

We went for the breakfast on a Sunday morning and the food was delicious! We each had a full English and they were more than happy to swap some aspects of the dish. The atmosphere was lovely and the girl serving us from very sweet and polite. We went to the little shop afterwards and got some lovely brownies as well as some vintage glasses.

Great food, lovely staff and great atmosphere. Lots of money has been spent on upgrading the pub and it's lovely inside and out.

Lovely food, staff are really friendly, and the restaurant itself is very nice.

Simply beautiful. A little gem of a place. Excellent food, friendly staff, beautiful surroundings. Always a joy to come here.

Dreadful food, service & expensive.

Lovely outside setting and nice food

Went for a Sunday roast today and was not disappointed. Without a doubt the best Beef dinner I've ever had. Great portion size and the beef was amazing. Not sure how the price compares in the area but definitely more than worth it and we'll certainly be back.

Lovely atmosphere, superb food, excellent service, and gorgeous view from the patio. Now breakfast every morning from 9.30am.The delicious changing menu does not disappoint. Warm and toastie with a real fire that even the dogs love. The General Elliot store is a real treat. Absolutely gorgeous to sit outside on a sunny day with a coffee and watch the world go by or stop for a rest during a walk or cycle.

£160 bill for 3 adults and one child!!!! Straight away they didn't know what the soup of the day was and when it came it was the worst soup ever, definitely not leek and potato and it came 10 mins after the others had their starters. One starter was chicken wings said the sauce would come on the side but no it was all over the chicken. Said well stocked bar but no Malibu!!!! Fresh cod was frozen like mush best thing was the curry sauce. Asked for another beer, they forgot that. Kids meal worked out at £30, garlic bread, steak & chips, then a small bowl of ice cream. Staff had no idea and we will definitely not return. We don't mind paying for good food but this was poor service with dreadful food.

Fish and chips - frozen fish. Unprepared staff not familiar with the menu. Unhelpful

Unpleasant greeting, menu unexplained and deliberately written to confuse customers. Staff unfamiliar with the menu ie not knowing soup of the day Had to repeatedly ask for drinks. Frozen fish overpriced. Waiting on staff young , inexperienced polite but no idea how to offer good service.

Attended as part of large group for evening meal and although pub was busy with daily trade service was good meaning we were all able to eat pretty much together. Food was hot and portion sizes very generous. Great views of sunset over open farmland from rear terrace.

Had two glasses of semi flat Prosecco which I complained about and the manager refused to change and cost £16.00. Awful customer service, the view at the back is awesome but staff attitude leaves a lot to be desired.

WE WERE A PARTY OF FOUR FRIENDS. WE EACH ORDERED FISH AND CHIPS . THE CHIPS WERE JUST SCRAPES I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE CHIPS THEY BROUGHT ME ANOTHER PORTION WHICH WAS NO DIFFERENT. THE FISH IN BATTER WAS MASSIVE YOU HAD TO BREAK THE BATTER TO FIND THE FISH.THE BEST THING ON THE PLATE WAS THE PEAS AND YOU CANNOT SPOIL THEM. LOVELY PLACE POOR FOOD.

Lovely setting... Friendly staff very helpful. Food to good taste unfortunately portion far to small ... My grandchildren would be okay but for a adult would defo say not enough on plate... Recommended to my friends but felt a bit let down 😔

Two of us went for Friday lunch and had a fabulous meal. I had the Caesar salad with chicken and it is quite possibly the best chicken Caesar salad I’ve ever had. My friend really enjoyed her steak and Stilton open sandwich which looked delicious. I then had the chocolate mousse which was light but full on flavour and quite filling (in a pleasing way) despite the lightness. The staff were really friendly and the interior is beautifully done. This is my new favourite place for lunch!

The food was ok, staff had to go away and ask about some dish's, the soup had a unusual taste and was returned, bar staff had difficulties with drinks for example white wine and lemonade ordered which came with very little lemonade, overhaul probably we would not return.

The GE has so much potential… but the execution leaves room for a lot of work. A quiet Sunday evening dinner that unfortunately didn’t deliver. The building, outdoor area and decor are elegant and very inviting. Then you sit down to ikea cutlery? We had the Sautéed chorizo and Burrata to start, the chorizo was over cooked and mulch like, but the burrata was excellent but be warned the chilli dressing is not for the faint hearted. Two roast dinners - pork and beef at £17.95 each were just ok. Gravy was almost jelly like and the giant roast potatoes lacked any flavour. All in all, probably won’t go back. Worth noting we did receive a discount on the chorizo. (PS you don’t need to call everything GE on the menu).

Lovely place, service was exceptional. Food was lovely and fresh, especially the salad.

Not usually one to complain about food because I appreciate it’s hard enough out there for businesses however having been here for lunch I was so disappointed. I ordered cod goujons on open sandwich. The fish was nice but 2 pieces was nowhere near enough. The sandwich was a piece of French toast and I struggled to cut through it. The Side salad was literally filling out the plate to disguise the portion size. My wife had the mussels and she was okay with that although she felt it lacked a piece of bread to dip into the sauce. I would say that the surroundings were nice and the staff were friendly but the food wasn’t great and my meal cost £12 inc a glass of coke. Far. Too expensive for what was served and so with that in mind I don’t think I will be going back anytime soon.

Great music…Sunday dinner just dreadful …..and poor value for money

Great food lovely service very friendly stunning ambiance reasonably priced.

Recently refurbished inside and rear beer garden, lovely views but be aware of the trip hazard on the bi folding doors witnessed a couple of trips and a fall while we were there.

We recently held a Big Top Circus event in our local primary school and needed some catering and bar facilities on site for our 600 guests. Henry and the team worked with us to provide a menu that was delicious, easy to eat from picnic blankets, had options for children and was within the budget of our guests. We also had a no glass policy for the school field and this was catered to, to ensure the safety of our children on the field. Their set up looked fantastic, and Henry worked with us to find a layout that worked within our grounds and worked for his team to provide an excellent level of service and great quality food.

Possibly the worst fish and chips I've ever had. The potatoes were like partly baked jacket potato that had been chopped into wedges and then partly fried later. Tasteless mushy peas and fish.

Excellent food and service. Definitely recommend this pub, dog friendly to.

25 March 2024 We attend The General Elliott after receiving poor service from The Swan Public House at Winwick. On entering The General Elliott we were welcomed by an extremely courteous, professional and pleasant staff member who showed us to our table, where she explained current ongoing works being undertaken on the premises and where the toilets were situated. We ordered Salmon, Fish Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding, all of which were hot and delicious. We will definitely make The General Elliott our first port of call for a meal, this being due to the professionalism of our greeting and the quality of food and service we received. We would ask that our comments and thanks be passed on to the young lady who welcomed and served us.

They changed the menu. Most of the dishes on the photos from other reviews are not available. We spent £100 for a family of 4. The fish and chips were completely overcooked, even hard to chew - I was hungry and wish I had one from my local takeaway instead - really bad!, and the "beef and mash" - swim in liquid smoke like in a gravy - may be there was some small amount of pulled beef underneath potatoes mash, questionable quality, I do not know... what this dish was it ment to be?? The young guy serving us was nice and got tips. Been there 14th of march, evening - not returning and not recommending.

Nice place and a decent pint. Good live music also

Visited with a group. Food was good but service was a little disorganised, however this could have been a one off. Having said this I would go again.

Lovely place and staff are really friendly. Food was nice

Very glad this reopened. Lovely food, well presented and really friendly staff who didn't hover and pester you. Will definitely be returning.

Came here for food a couple of times in Jan 24 . Very nice atmosphere. Food was very nice as well . It can take a bit of time to prepare as it all freshly made but well worth . Large car park at the rear as well.

We spent this New Year’s Eve at The General Elliot, having a meal and drinks. We had a really great time. The food was absolutely delicious and we very much enjoyed the music. Thanks for your hospitality and generosity. We will certainly come again next New Year’s Eve.

Service was friendly but very slow. Atmosphere wasn't the best, felt slightly uncomfortable. Travelled out of area to visit family. No wine list - Limited drinks menu.

Had a lovely meal at the G.E tonight, food was amazing and service was great, such a nice chill atmosphere , very homely, can’t wait to go back.

On arrival at the pub you open the doors and think, hmm nice place shame only a few people are in here. despite this fact I had to wait 5 minutes to get served, Not a great start. I thought perhaps the staff were new. We had intended to eat that evening. Having not been in this place before (yet on several occasions passing and seeing it was newly renovated), figured it would be worth trying. So, despite it being like a library, and fear of being overheard when I chew, I was too hungry to try elsewhere. My luck got worse.... the service just to order the food took an eternity, When the food did arrive it was not only cold, but looked like something a child had put together. It is very expensive compared to other quality eateries in Croft, so I expected this to serve top quality produce, crafted by a skilled chef. Sadly every one of the dishes looked uncooked, cold or amateurish. Not at all anywhere near the standard you would expect for £27 average a plate. I hardly ever complain, but I had to say something on this occasion. At this point the owner of the pub walked in and the waitress asked him to speak to our table. We made it clear the food wasn't good ....the outcome..... Totally arrogant man and unwilling to offer any kind of recompense. Not even an apology. Just made out he was too busy. Nobody at any point had a clue about hospitality in this place. It is a shame as the building is lovely, but it is clearly run with someone who has absolutely zero people skills, and clearly no idea how to run a pub restaurant. Even Basil Fawlty would do a better job.

Great local pub in our village, would recommend to anybody be local or passing through 😁

One of the most delicious meals I've had in a long time, and service to match. Pub food done at the highest level in my opinion. We went for my mother's birthday 🎂...I have no complaints whatsoever. Definitely worth a visit. The bar area decor is top notch 👌

Wonderful country pub with good food. Check out the teepee in the garden for a special experience

First time back here since new management. Service was a bit slow but the food made up for it. Really enjoyed our meal. Staff were polite and helpful. Music was a bit loud. Will be back again in the new year.

Lovely food service was spot on

Went to the General Elliot for the first time tonight. From the minute we stepped foot through the door, the service was amazing. The food was just delicious and the staff could not do enough for you. To top it off, there was a really good live band. Felt very christmassey. Will definitely be back. Thank you

We have been here several times over the years. And it has always been good service good food .Also been twice this last 6 months. But sorry to say the food was average and the service was poor.We didn't get are food orders together .Some had finished one course before and others hadn't received theirs. Ordered drinks and they arrived intermittent again .Got the bill and had items on it we didn't order. But was that disappointed couldn't be bothered going through a question and answer situation. So just paid the bill and Left. Won't be going back any time soon.And not be recommending it to any one.Not the staffs fault purely down to management. Organising is a shambles.

Hada meal here with colleagues. Good choice on the menu and not too expensive

Large party with pre-ordered food. Slow, small portion, cold food. They didn’t look happy, maybe there was trouble in the kitchen

Great food, service, and atmosphere, called in while staying in the area and was glad we did. Excellent menu here and it actually delivers as described in the menu.

Our visit here yesterday was after a family funeral. The room provided couldn't have been better. Nicely presented and prepared buffet-style lunch with attentive staff. Thank you.

Lovely ambience. Warm and quiet, with background music. Took rather a long time for meals to come...about half an hour. Approx £15-£20 per main course. Good sized portions. Tasty food. Need more staff on, but those who were on were helpful.

First time here with my family what a lovely place for a Sunday lunch. The food and staff was lovely

Mixed feelings. Having had Sunday lunch here a few weeks ago, which was great, we gave breakfast a go today. It was a very mixed experience. Firstly, we asked if they did fresh orange juice, which the young lady serving us said they did. When it arrived, it was a tiny serving, and definitely not fresh! I suspect it was a bottle of Britvic 55. Not a nice accompaniment to breakfast, and definitely not ‘fresh’! My husband and I both ordered the Full English, and as I dont like mushrooms, tomatoes or black pudding, i asked for extra beans and bacon instead. On arrival we were really disappointed to see very pale, barely cooked streaky bacon. The fat was so soft and meat pale pink you could barely see what was meat what was fat. We asked for it to be cooked more, so that it was ‘well done’. We don’t like eating the fat, but as there was so much fat to meat, we felt that if it was cooked really well we could eat it. It was returned cooked more, but definitely not ‘well’ so we had to spend time cutting the meat out - an unnecessary faff ! Why cant the chef order back bacon, the same as virtually every other restaurant serving English breakfasts?! The sausages, rosti, egg and toast were lovely, and my Scottish husband was delighted to get Stornaway black pudding, as he really doesn’t like Bury black pudding due to the chunks of fat. The GE baked beans were a huge disappointment. Clearly ‘home made’, we both really wished the chef had stuck to tinned! Some of the beans were soft, others hard and not pleasant at all. The beans themselves were tasteless, but the very thick, limited sauce tasted overwhelmingly off herbs. We both left over 3/4 of them. We ended the meal with a coffee, which though nice, was the smallest cappuccino we’ve ever had! So, a very mixed experience, but key elements were so poor that we definitely wouldn’t return for breakfast.

An absolute amazing place. Everything was top notch. The lady who served us was very friendly and helpful. And the food was super delicious. We cannot wait to return again. Definitely 5 stars for this amazing place ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Nice, home cooked food and a bit of a different menu than your standard pub fayre. We were sat in the conservatory and it was a bit chilly so I had to keep my coat on! Would definitely return though.

- 30 minute wait for food after ordering starters. - £13.50 for three small scallops and two pieces of deep fried bacon (see image). - 25 minute wait for desserts after mains cleared. - When offered constructive criticism about delayed service and portion size it was met with nonchalant arrogance. - Goes without saying I would not recommended this establishment.

Made very welcome with our 3 month old puppy, given a nice quiet table, puppy settled right away, able to enjoy the most delicious food. Afterwards, puppy did a bit of socialising with two other dogs. A great night, staff friendly and very helpful.

It looks a really nice place and has a large carpark for easy parking.Staff were friendly and polite. Service was a little slow and the sea bass was good five minutes later than the other mains, which is never good. Menu reads well but didn't quite hit the mark. I appreciate prices have gone up everywhere but this seems a little expensive for what it is. There was nothing really bad about the dining experience it was just a little "meh". We were expecting something a little more. Sorry. Will try again in case it was just an off day.

Lovely meal, the food was delicious and service fantastic. The pub is a great asset to the village-

This pub has been given a great refurbishment. The dining area is very nice and the food excellent and beautifully presented. Staff very friendly and helpful. A great evening out, really enjoyed the experience.

Great gastrobpud feel to what seems to be a newly renovated pub/restaurant, with a nice rural feel to it. Food was lovely and a good selection of drinks at the bar. Will be revisiting soon! Only comment would be that we were sat in a large room with a vaulted ceiling with only a couple tables filled, whilst the rest of the cosier areas were full, so j have removed one star for the atmosphere where we were sat. Would be nice to have such a big room filled with people if possible. However, this didn't take away from the experience at a lovely pub.

First time here for a Sunday roast and would highly recommend it.

Just home from the GE and feel robbed if I’m honest. I sent my dinner back, peri peri chicken. Chicken looked like it had come out of the freezer and been cooked, was placed on a cold, unappetising looking pitta bread, absolutely smothered in mayo with pale, tasteless chips. Quite frankly amazed at how awful this dish was. I tried a few mouthfuls but honestly couldn’t stomach it. My daughters ate some of their meals but simply out of hunger not because they were enjoyable. Extortionate prices for basic, lifeless meals that are even now repeating on us all leaving us feeling quite unwell. Just a taste of cheap, badly prepared food. Nobody seemed really interested in us or our opinions so just paid for what we had and got out fast. We will never be returning. Came away starving and so just made myself beans on toast with cheese that saved the day. Sorry GE but you really need to do a whole lot better.

Today a quiet lunch for my 71st birthday. Food was fab. Service by Kathy was excellent very welcoming and chatty. First visit with new owners what a difference highly recommend

Really nice place well maintained.friendly staff great food tempura fish very fresh plus nice garden for dog...

Fabulous. We were there for a 60th birthday celebration. 🎂

Cannot fault everything here from pre attendance support to on nights service and excellent food. We booked a family of 15 for a visit for our visiting American family. We pre-ordered, all very smooth and friendly. On the night we were served by a young lad who had maturity and excellent service skills beyond his years. He was extremely attentive, friendly and nothing was too much. The food was a great mix of traditional and contemporary dishes and everyone loved their food, all really well presented and super tasty. And the end of the night was stress free, bill settled and everyone thanked when they left. Whether it’s a casual passing lunch or a little more, the General Elliot has delivered for us on all fronts and can’t be faulted.

Wide choice of food, Sunday lunch was very good, very nice puddings

The service was great and to be fair, so was the food 👍 my missus is a chef and it can be hard to find places that cook well with good ingredients. Our only critique would be we think there should be 2 chicken thighs on the Buttermilk Burger! It was tasty, and 1 whole breast would be enough, but for £17, I think it could stretch to 2 thighs! Quite the opposite of my massive fish 👌 In all though, we'll be back as it was lovely!

We popped in with our two girls on the way back from a visit to Liverpool. We were very impressed with the food and the service we received. We would highly recommend.
