Had a wonderful night her Friday through til Saturday. Celebrating husbands birthday. The staff were fabulous, friendly and super helpful. They made us feel welcome and helped celebrate hubby's birthday lovely little touches to our stay. The food was delicious! The room was gorgeous. The breakfast was also lovely, fresh and beautifully cooked. Clean and reasonably priced. Thank you The Merlin for everything! Treasured memories of a lovely birthday night away.

Visited for Sunday lunch . We were not disappointed. Party of 3 , all thoroughly enjoyed our starters 👍 unfortunately they’d run out of seabass so had to have fish and chips instead . Very generous portion and plates were clean on finishing . The three roast Sunday lunch was delicious too . Creme brûlée for dessert was also good . Attentive service from the Merlin colleagues . Would definitely recommend.

We went to a 70th birthday meal there on Saturday, 17th August 2024. It was held in the conservatory at the front, it was a beautiful setting for what turned out to be a lovely afternoon. The food that was served was piping hot and very tasty. Well worth the price. Beautiful place and the staff were friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough for us.

Before the pandemic, Merlin was always a go to place. Either to go for a meal with friends or just for a few drinks - the atmosphere was amazing, with reasonable prices and great service. I can’t say the same from my last visit, Sunday 28th 2024 at around 3pm. The food and the service were appalling, I was very disappointed. My wife had Olives and Linguini with seafood and chorizo – She said that her pasta was okay but not special, lack of flavour. 10 washed Olives in water for £4 (that’s crazy), at least put a bit of olive oil and garlic to flavour up, show some care. I had the SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS for starter (£7.95) and a PLANT-BASED BURGER (£16.25) for my main meal. The food wasn’t fresh at all. The mushrooms were like an appetizer and microwaved, the croutons were old and with a funny taste. The burger was served with plain salad in a cup (never saw being served that way before), but that’s okay I suppose, the problem was that the burger had a bitter taste, I only had 2 small bites, something was off. It taken over 30 minutes for someone to come over, but it wasn’t to check how was everything, it was to ask if we had finished. I had to mentioned to the server that I didn’t enjoy the burger, that the burger was unpleasant, a bit off and with a bitter flavour. She asked if I wanted something else. We mentioned that we been waiting for over 30 minutes, and no one had come over to check on us (She had passed over us 3 times and saw me look at her, she choose to ignore us – she could see that I wasn’t eating the burger). She than went to speak with the manager and returned saying that the burger would be taken from the bill. The manager never came over to check what was the issue or if there was something it could be done. Obviously, there’s something not quite right in the Merlin. My concern with this latest experience, isn’t the lack of service and care from the server and manager but that the food it seemed to be off. It’s a shame, I used to love this place. Will not be going back and would advice anyone going there to be careful with the food. I end-up eating at home.(picture in garden)

The food and service were excellent. Polite and friendly staff and service speed was just right. The roast dinners were a very reasonable price for the size and quality. We could only manage a main roast but if the quality of that is anything to go by, the starters and mains would be well worth it. The price of the roast was only within a few pounds of nearly every other eatery we could find. I would highly recommend a Sunday roast here and will be visiting again

I went here for lunch today and liked it very much. If you're in the mood for a casual spot with loud music, this might not be the place for you, it’s a classic, posh pub for families. While the prices are a bit higher than your average pub, the quality of the food justifies the cost. I enjoyed the pepper squid with Gochujang aioli and the sea bass fillets, both of which were delicious. My husband ordered crab for a starter (picture missing) and it was really lovely too. The service was also excellent. Definitely would like to come back here in the near future.

We went to the Merlin restaurant to celebrate my birthday. The service was and ambience was good, but we were disappointed with our mains. Both of us had Fish, one seabass and fish & chips. Both were very dry with the fish being over cooked, but given the mussy peas seemed over-cooked it must have meant the food had been sitting under a heating lamp for too long. Perhaps we had spent to much time eating our starters! The restaurant was pretty empty so I have no idea why the rush to cook the mains.

We held an event in their cube. The communication from the beginning was poor. The amount of food we received for the amount we paid was quite frankly disgusting. The quantities didn’t seem to match up with what we were told. Staff were rude to myself and a few of the party did this to me also. No one came to see how we were. We had to ask for glasses and food to be cleaned away. Then at the end we were summoned to pay but never asked how we had found the time. I would not and will not recommend this to anyone. Which is an absolute shame as the cube is a lovely space! Shame about the service.

The staff were fantastic. Vicky and Brad looked after us. Brad was experienced and confident. Very professional. The food was very disappointing for me. Some of our party did enjoy their food. For example the sea bass was delicious however my chips were overcooked and cheap and the fish was grey in colour. The batter was good but overall, really disappointed. My boyfriend chose the seafood linguine which was swimming in oil. He paid extra for just two scallops. We had a wonderful time though and desserts were quite tasty. Our visit would have been a bit of a disaster if it had not been for the attention of the staff. Top notch!

An excellent pub for a drink and lunch. The landlord is a wonderful hospitable host and welcomes one and all. Excellent selection of beers on tap and a super venue. I'd recommend visiting here, thank you for your kind hospitality 😁👍

We went to the flower pot pub last year when we where on holiday from Australia and again several weeks ago while visiting again and enjoyed our meals that were served with friendly smile and very professional service. As a result it was a very special day for us today being my mother in laws 100th birthday today so we came back for a birthday Sunday lunch. The service was the same as before with the excellent meals and service, on leaving, to top it off my mother in law was presented with a bottle of bubbly, which was a lovely surprise and she was so pleased Once again we would like to thank you for a very special day and would like to recommend The Flower Pot for any occasion. We will see you again soon before our return to Australia Best Regards Reg Jones and family.
