No idea about the rooms, but based on the rest of the pub, they'd be good. Lovely menu, loads of GF options, wonderful staff who dealt with 13 of us rocking up unbooked, and ferried all our food outside for us. A really lovely way to spend an afternoon :)

Went for a meal mid week, which was a perfect time, nice and quiet in the restaurant area. Our meals were freshly prepared to order wonderfully tasty. My creme brulee came with a cinnamon shortbread , which was a nice touch, the flavour was delicate and delicious.

I've never been to a place where a restaurant refuses to provide a bill for each couple. The feisty manageress or whoever she is, made us all get our phone calculators out and have a 20 minute maths session whilst we worked out who had what. To top it off those who had cash stood in the queue to pay at the till only to be told those who had cash had to wait until he card payers had paid. So, we won't be returning as we've never seen such a farce. I've seen less silliness in an old mother hubbard sketch. Laurel & Hardy could run a place better these comedians. At he end the manageress had the cheek to say we were a pound short! Well that's what you get when you missed maths class at school and can't be bothered to do your job. As Anne Robinson used to say, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!

Been to little John before and it’s always great, went today and OMG was the food and service amazing. My partner had gammon (she’s eaten a lot of gammon in other restaurants), when asked to rate it.. a resounding best she’s ever had! I had a special from the chef and boy was it special! Rated 110% a must visit!

A lovely pub on the outskirts of Ravenshead and on the edge of lovely countryside with a great outside area for walkers and dogs. The waiter on duty in the restaurant was welcoming, polite and attentive. The food was delicious!!! The squid starter was the best I'd had in a long time. The pub and restaurant was clean, well kept and, despite being quiet (it was a Monday evening) had a lovely atmosphere. We will most definitely be returning and highly recommend a visit

Great service from the lady seating everyone on arrival which was during a busy Saturday lunchtime with 2 large tables for Birthday parties and a lots of other customers wanting to eat before the Woodland Disco Festival at Newstead Abbey. We were seated quite quickly and although there was a half hour wait on food it really wasn’t that long. The Butternut squash salad was delicious as was the HUGE Portion of Fresh Fish and chips.

Every time I visit The Little John, I am greeted by a warm and welcoming team that make me feel right at home. The atmosphere is wonderful, blending a cosy charm of traditional decor with a lively, friendly vibe. It’s been the perfect spot for me on many occasions, for quiet evenings out, celebrations with friends and family and for numerous work social events. The food at The Little John Inn is spectacular - whether it's their hearty pub classics or one of their specials (their specials curry dishes are amazing), every bite is a testament to their commitment to quality and taste. For me, what truly sets The Little John Inn apart is its exceptional customer service. The staff are the heart and soul of the pub and restaurant with their genuine warmth and attentive care. The Little John is more than just a pub and restaurant. It is a cherished local treasure where every visit feels like coming home. Highly recommended for anyone seeking fantastic food, a cosy atmosphere, and the best service around. Thank you to all the team for some cherished moments.

I used to manage the quiz night at the Little John on a Tuesday evening and we built a good number of teams who enjoyed playing. However pub management decided to change to. a Monday evening, which is their prerogative, and this decision did not go down well with the quiz regulars , to the point we only had four teams this evening.. We also run a card game called Sticky 13, which had a jackpot of £320 and tonight they would not let us play this card game. Why I do not know, we were allowed to do the quiz but not Sticky 13. As custodian of the quiz I asked them for the Jackpot monies and they refused to hand this over. I was stunned to say the least, the monies belong to the quiz players who contributed into it. The monies certainly doesn’t belong to the Little John as this was only a venue used by myself to hold the quiz. They know this and until they refund the jackpot cash I will look to take this further. Very disappointing to end an enjoyable relationship which benefited a lot of people including the management of the Little John. Regards. Rob {Quiz Organiser]

Decided to switch up where I meet friends for food and a catch-up. I'm certainly glad we decided to try this place. Great selection of starters and mains. The food was very well presented and tasted great. Lots of dishes you won't find on a typical pub menu and great for trying something new or different. Hopefully by the time you read this, Google will have updated the map location. Currently, it takes you about half a mile down the road. I'll certainly be visiting again, hopefully taking my partner out for something to try. Very relaxed atmosphere, and for us, it was perfectly balanced of not being too busy or too quiet.

Perfectly situated for a good walk, so much countryside around even though it’s on a busy main road. Plenty of outdoor seating and area for you to exercise your dog. Nice and spacious inside very clean, nice decor, well laid out, the tables aren’t on top of each other. Clean, bright and airy ladies room. Friendly staff, make you feel welcome straight away, great service, food top notch, so filling and nicely presented. I didn’t take a pic of the soup or the cheesecake, but both were delicious; the Gammon was a good size and home made chips 👍; the tomato and courgette lasagne was delicious and very filling, served with garlic bread. Little John Inn, definitely worth a visit 👍

NOT GREAT, firstly waited almost 5 minutes to be seen to after entering, no members of staff to be seen. Booked via email and received confirmation back of booking to be told that we have no booking? Seated at a table, menus issued, completely different menu to the website and Facebook page. Meal was not as described on the menu. No follow up check into the meal. When asked was everything ok during the collection of the plates we informed the waiter, just a mumble of sorry, no questions asked why?? Disappointed

Kids meals, where very good value 👌 Lunch time menu is good value 😋 just a bit dispointing when a menu says seasonal vegetables served with your meal and you just get peas and to be charged for a full price side portion of fries in place of the salad on the lasagne is a bit bad( maybe just an up charge so half the price) my wife had pie and chips, the chips had a strange taste to them(not there fault prob just the type of potato, not what they had been cooked in) also her meat in the pie was tough (i tried it),however my pie was delicous. My own overall experience was good I would happily visit again.

We came when the pub had recently been taken over by new management and had an excellent meal. We came back on boxing day with the same expectation but unfortunately feel the quality of food has gone down. We were given the main menu and not the Christmas menu as we were told on booking, but just picked from main as assumed things had changed. The table next to us then were given food from the Christmas menu?! Burger served without onion rings and salad, mentioned to staff when asked if everything okay and nothing done, no apology or reflection on the bill. Was told they have a new chef on and he must have forgot... Paid our bill as we are not people to kick up a fuss but feel the situation could have been dealt with better. Hopefully will return in the future and have better experience.

Servers were trying their hardest very good effort, place was nice and the environment was good. Issue was the drunk middle class locals hitting on my wife at the bar, grabbing her arm whilst trying to pay for our meal, people bringing their dogs to my 14 month old son even though he was clearly upset and didn’t want to touch or play with the animal and the hysterical very drunk, obnoxiously loud and the rude people in there, which sadly, respectfully, means I won’t return. Nice meal but £17 for new potatoes and a piece of sea bass to have to share my peas between three meals was overpriced.

Atrocious service! Shocking food. Where do i start? 25 people for xmas dinner…. 2k spent by the whole party. They made a mess of the timings by 1 hour at least. The tables were cramped, we were shoved in like animals. The service was also awful. They served food with missing items i.e. no sauces on the table (mint/apple sauce/cranberry) with our dinner and the plates of undercooked leeks were late. We were missing Yorkshires and apparently they don't serve these with the turkey, but the menu states beef or turkey with all the trimmings. Additionally the tables were left with glasses on all night long. We were also missing items such as petit fours and the mince pies were out of a packet would you believe, the cheapest ones. Would you expect this for 80pp(adult)? Tea & coffee was served with no tea spoons and saucers, we used knifes to remove the tea bag and mix the sugar. The roast potatoes tasted stale and old, they were awful as was the quality of the potato's used. The rude lady serving us couldn't muster an apology all night, they were just happy to take our money. There was also no butter with bread for starter, such as soup. The menu stated roast beef and horse radish yorkshire for appetisers, but it was minced beef! Shocking robbing liars! The place was over crowded and maybe a few did enjoy it but most didn’t. Maybe they are under staffed it seems or alternatively just poor management. I would never go here again and wouldn’t recommend, it was truly shocking. Its also worth noting that the table was booked for 4pm and we arrived at 3.20, we had our dinner at 5.40(main) and left at 7.30 due to delays between meals and the 1st failed attempt at seating us, which further indicates towards bad management. It did ruin the Christmas dinner for most and I hope someone decent takes over and the head chef needs sacking along with a review of the management of waiters/staff. In response to the comments below, the 5 Yorkshires you bought out were inedible, cold and cremated. Serving butter with the bread for the soup is basics, you would find this in restaurants serving a higher quality food then your selves, as for the mention of a school canteen your toilets mirror that of a public toilet in a council park, you should maybe self reflect first.

40th birthday celebration booked for 7.00 for 12 people. Pre-orders given. At 7.40 we were informed the food would be 20 more minutes so we would have been waiting an hour! We had 3 and 10 year olds in our party so we said this wasn't acceptable (plus 2 babies). We had booked early and pre-ordered food why was it not ready? More drinks were ordered. The 3 year old's food then arrived. Half an hour later the rest did! The pre-orders were incorrect- food missing, rubbish portions for the price and the chips finally came when the mains were finished. Shameful for a restaurant. Regarding drinks- they just kept forgetting to bring them! We asked and asked, even water was hard to get and came minus a glass! At about half 8 live music started in the adjacent bar it was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves speak. Why not shut the bar doors?? We spoke to the chap serving to ask for our drinks and the girl 3/4 times. They were both clearly harassed. The restaurant was full with only 3 people serving. No wonder they were harassed. The chap agreed to remove the cost of all drinks from our bill but what what was meant to be a lovely celebratory meal for our daughter was ruined by shoddy, over priced food, poor service (although the guy was very nice and we did feel for him) and loud noise. Having been here at a lunch time this experience was the polar opposite. Do not take bookings if you do not have the staff to serve. Seems you also need more kitchen staff.

What a lovely pub ! A very warm welcome as soon as we entered. The pub was full and there was a good atmosphere, probably the fact it was a theme night plus a meal.i didn’t know what to expect but Miss Sparkle, Kirsty, a Psychic Medium, was very good, entertaining and really very funny.. Some had the traditional fish and chunky chips the fish was big with lovely crispy batter , we went for the steak pie, plus chips and peas, well the chef certainly knows how to make a good pie! Shortcrust pastry plenty of chunks of steak in a rich gravy. It was delicious.. and looking at the empty plates everyone thought the same! I felt to full for pud, but the usual “we’ll have a look” and then we ended up with a selection between us , of Apple sultana and cinnamon crumble , Lemon posset, a delicious Bakewell tart and a sticky toffee pudding , plus custard and ice cream !! All got the thumbs up. It all arrived very quickly and the staff were very attentive to say they were so busy . It was such a good night and when she’s there next time , go you won’t be disappointed..! 👍❤️👍

The interior has changed,it used to be beautiful,quirky and clean,now it’s got horrible blue doors,the separate areas with sofas and general warm comfort feel has gone ,looks more like a showroom for home bargains,and it doesn’t come across as clean and very well looked after,half the car park is now a seating area,not sure why anyone would want to sit in the carpark when there is all the grassy areas ,such a shame,food on some trip advisor pictures looks horrendous 🤮 The owners keep blaming kitchen team for poor food ,if it’s that bad in your kitchen get in there yourself,it’s your business for god sake,really has gone downhill fast,like I said earlier much better when Simon and Louise had this pub👍

Shocking service!! & Came away feeling disgusted. Big table of 16x of us took a while for them all to come out, first person had finished before last one got theirs... we had pre ordered too!! Sunday dinner was just OK... hardly any vegetables . .. 3 measly carrots and spoonful of cabbage, stuffing was missing then they brought us out cold stuffing. We had a few other issues too. Explained problems to lady at front of house just to let them know...who said don't worry "we will sort your desserts out for you" I thought oh nice of them.. told everyone they was offering free puddings to make up for it all. About 10x of us had puddings. To then receive the bill and she's given us 1x for free the cheapest. Wow surely this was an error I thought. Said to lady this is surely wrong as my understanding was "we will sort out your puddings" means free puddings. Anyway she made me feel absolutely disgusted by arguing with me in front of everyone over the puddings. I said she should of been clearer at the start then and said 1x free pudding (Which would of been an insult)- her fault not mine. We had 4x puddings as takeaway and these were taken back!! I dont think she was aware 1x of the takeaway puddings had been touched. In the end after me explaining she should of been more clearer at the start of our conversation. I said I wasn't paying for the puddings going by what she said we will sort your puddings put for you ... she then came back and said the chef said he would take the puddings off the bills... too right! You said we will sort your puddings out. AFTER ALL THIS COMOTION. & taking back the takeaway puddings!! Which was the cherry on the cake - shocked is an understatement. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from her and will never step foot in this pub again. Sorry its long! But felt like you all needed to hear the full story if you have issues in future I just hope the lady is now CLEAR with what she says!!.

Very unhappy with this place we preorderd all our meals so it should be eazy after a hour they started to arrive over a 30 minute period, some had finished as others were coming out meals was lukewarm at best and the cold soul had a stale crust, surly things don't have to be this bad, good luck people

Wow! Just had my birthday meal there and it was gorgeous, the service is second to none. I had chicken and chorizo linguine it was beautiful I felt really guilty for leaving some, the meal was huge well worth the price. No complaints whatsoever

Food not arrived together - two of our party had finished their mains before others arrived. We had the Sunday roast. Not at all impressed. Luke warm, anaemic food. Gravy thin and watered down. Vegetables were very poor -overcooked,tastless. Carrots and cabbage only -didn't quite live up to the expected "seasonal vegetables " as stated on the menu. Staff were friendly, but not at all efficient. It took over an hour for first course to be delivered, and another hour after that for desserts. Desserts were very good. The pub itself is very pleasant, but needs a lot of work on service and quality of food. At over £15 for a roast dinner,they need to seriously up their game to make it value for money.

Definitely a lot better this time around. Our last visit wasn't so good but this time a lot, lot better. The staff as always are super friendly and welcoming, a true credit to the establishment. The Little John Inn is out favourite choice for our group meal. The food was superb, a while arriving at the table, but I don't mind that as they were busy and the food was really tasty, my wife and I had the belly pork, which was cooked perfectly and the portion size was good too and very hot at the table. If I have one criticism it would be that I would like to see a little more on the sweet menu, Eaton Mess and Crème Brulee would be a good addition, that said the sweets we all had were enjoyed. Will we go again? Yes we will, not just because it is central to our needs but because it is a good place to visit, eat and drink.

Literally just finished my food. Fish and Chips, Donner Cob for just over 12 quid. Piping hot still when I got home. Absolutely lovely...

I love this club so much, the atmosphere is amazing and the bingo is so much fun. I love that there's so many choices for non alcoholic drinks and the club is fully accessible! My new favourite place with Sunday fun day being the best. Would highly recommend a visit.
