The Auberge Menu offers excellent food with great value for money . Been a few times for lunch over recent times with different groups of friends and on each visit the menu and customer service has impressed . None meat eaters in our party chose to eat 2 starters from the main menu when the Auberge was a meat main course and the scallops and prawns looked amazing . A definite recommend.

My friend and I travelled 2 hours each (met in the middle of the country) to have lunch here and we were not disappointed. The greeting was warm and professional. The bread I assume was homemade was lovely. In fact our starters of scallops for my friend and chicken liver pate for me was delicious, we both chose sea bass -again very nice. We were to full up for dessert however very impressed when we saw some of the desserts bought out for other customers-looked like works of art. If ever I was in the area again would definitely make a reservation here and would recommend to anyone. Envious of people living nearby as a great place to eat.

From the staff to the food, it has been amazing. The menu is one of those that you struggle to chose from because it all looks so good and I genuinely don’t think you’d be disappointed with whatever you chose. Everything was so well cooked, presented beautifully and tasted divine. The staff were all friendly polite and came across really genuinely happy to have you there. We unfortunately live an hour and a half away, but if we were closer we would definitely be a regular here. Absolutely lovely little place and I cannot recommend enough.

A Saturday night meal out with my wife, have wanting to visit for a long time but only just got round to it. First impressions were great - a nice welcome, given a choice of tables from friendly staff. We both had three courses and and enjoyed every course, leaving very full! If I’m being very picky, the Guinness I ordered was a bit strange, not a creamflow Guinness that you would get in any pub in a England, it had a foam head, not the best. The steak I had was great but a little chewy on one side so I think could have been rendered down a little more - I also ordered medium rare and and they gave me medium but by this point the food is being served and I just want to eat it not send it back! The rest of the dish and other 2 courses were absolutely top notch. All in all a great night out and will be back.

Excellent all round experience with food, service and atmosphere. Delicious starters of goats cheese and beetroot salad and king scallops. Excellent main courses of salmon with peas and asparagus and crusted cod fillet. We visited the Joiners Arms on spec so felt it was an expensive meal, ideal for a special occasion, but worth the cost for the quality of the ingredients and ability of the chef. We would certainly book again.

We booked here as our first dinner after lock-down, and took advantage of the 50% off offer. We were welcomed and informed of the Covid procedures; the tables were well spaced and the room airy. They are running with a reduced menu (5 or 6 choices for each course), but a good selection with vegetarian dishes included. The food was very tasty and well presented, the staff helpful if rather busy. It was a very enjoyable evening, and will be returning. My daughter is already booking for later in the month. Well worth a visit.

My sister and her husband treated to Sunday lunch at this venue as a birthday treat. We arrived at 12:20 lunchtime to a deserted dining room set up ready for lunch. The place filled up rapidly and there was a gentle murmur of conversation as people tucked into their lunch.The food was delicious.There was a good range of options for every course. I had the melon and sorbet starter which was fine, the beef and vegetables to follow was fresh, properly cooked and well presented, Finally I had the liquorice panacota with blackberry sorbet which was sublime. I couldn't fault the food and neither could any of the seven us sat round the table find cause for complaint. The owner here has got his act together and is running a well organised eating establishment. I heartily recommend this place as a venue to try food that is a cut above the rest.Prices were a little on the high side but this was reflected in the standard of the food, the service and the venue. All of which were excellent. It was a delightful lunch.

Visited here for a Christmas lunch choosing it purely because it was half way between where we and our relatives live. Although the online reviews were promising, we had no prior experience of what it was like. Straight away it gave the impression of being very well run. The meals were excellent value. Whilst not Cordon Blue, nor are the prices, and the food was well above the average pub restaurant food both in in quality and imagination. I am sure if it was in a large conurbation rather than a small village prices would be much higher.

We booked the Joiners this week to celebrate our wedding anniversary.Sadly it didn’t live up to previous experiences.The lady who welcomed us and served the drinks was very friendly and polite. The waitress who served our food was less engaging, polite, just not great. Great service is as important as the food.The food, I had cod cheeks, they were really small, very over cooked and served in an unpleasant batter, on hindsight I wish I had sent them back, the chick peas and chorizo they were served on were very tasty. My husband had Field mushroom with poached egg and toast, this was OK, but the toast was extremely small and over cooked.The sirloin steak was OK, the steak knife could have been sharper, the home cooked chunky chips were very good. My seabream was very nice but surprised that the crab ravioli that was served with it was crispy, strange.All in all the experience did not live up to expectation so doubt we will go back.

The Joiners is comfortable and classic, and a pleasant relief from over-modernised pub restaurants. A shortish menu and an extensive blackboard provide a great range of choices of interesting and tasty dishes. Scallops with Conakilty black pudding were particularly good, as was Welsh Hake. A good range of wines that are not overpriced, and pleasant service, if not the promptest. Good value. Well worth the drive to the village.

Went as a couple on a lunch time. It was a special occasion for us so we went al a Carte...my pigeon starter seemed a bit over cooked, duck terrine was good but needed more toast. Chicken supreme was ok. I wanted the lamb, but when I asked for it I was told there wasn’t any!! Very annoying! I went for the steak and it came medium, when I asked for rare it was disappointing. I didn’t say anything at the time because what do you do to correct that...? Cook a new one? meanwhile your partner eats their food, then you eat yours after..? Not my idea of a celebratory meal out. We had ice cream for dessert. We had pre dinner drinks, a bottle of wine and another glass of wine. The service was absolutely spot on. But the food was a bit underwhelming, considering the reviews and with a bill of over £100. I suggest going for the set menu which would be much better value for money.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch here, the food and service were excellent. For starters we had the mushrooms and the chicken liver pate, which was delicious. The mains were roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and one in our party had the cod. The vegetables were served separately, so everyone could take as much or as little as they liked. The only thing I would say is that the portion size of the roast and the vegetables were huge, so there was quite a lot of food waste as no-one could finish their serving. Which also meant that we had no space for desserts. Also it is not a cheap restaurant, but worth it for good quality food.

Had a lovely family lunch on Friday and had chosen The Joiners because of their brilliant Friday fish & chips offer. My grandpa has fish & chips in a lot of places and he said it was one of the best he’s ever had. I agree, the fat chips were delicious!!

We were recommended to visit here by their sister pub at Gt Oxendon. We were definitely not disappointed. I very rarely give top marks but everything from the decor, atmosphere, staff & food was excellent. We chose the salmon & the wood pigeon starters, the dressed crab & calves liver mains followed by a delicious Raspberry Soufflé . Total bill £91 with 2 drinks plus a bottle of wine , worth every penny.

Excellent, as always has been under this ownership - faultless but informal service compliments the very excellent food

We visited for Sunday Lunch with our 5 year old who has to have a Gluten Free diet. There was very little that she couldn’t have, the choice was great and the food was absolutely delicious! We were looked after very well and will be returning soon!

We were impressed with the menu choices. I had an adult portion of the gammon, chips & peas. The egg and pineapple really added to this. It was delicious and so filling I had no room for dessert. My friend went for the small plate beef lasagne which she thoroughly enjoyed. She had room for her second choice dessert. Half of cider apiece was a great choice. The layout of the place was spacious and the decor was lovely. The background music was a trip down memory for us. My mother used to say you can judge an eaterie by the state of the toilets. These were clean, fresh and with extras like lotion, hairspray and feminine hygiene products. We will certainly go again and will recommend this place to others.

Costa Coffeelocation-icon1 George StreetOther cuisines

As it was a busy Costa, tables were left with trays with cups and nowhere to move them to. The staff need to work on removing these so customers can sit at a clean table. Plenty of seats, all taken up of course some by people reading books, but this is a coffee place (really libraries would benefit doing this) We were able to sit and enjoy our beverages and cookie so cant grumble with that. Pricing 'costa' alot lol but was a nice treat.
