Rude abrupt staff, especially blonde girl behind bar. Mains arrived as we were eating our starters, plates dropped and food not cleared up. The napkin I used to cover the mess was used as a stepping stone by other staff. Unclean cutlery, plates, general area just pretty disgusting. Food was only saving grace although puddings arrived cold (sticky toffee) No care by staff, very disappointed!

Table of 4 for dinner. Advised a 20 minute wait which was accurate and appreciated the heads up. Food arrived and was hot and tasty. Zero complaints. Only feedback would be that no one came to clear the plates or offer a dessert / second drink which we likely would have had but then it got a bit late so we left.

Was told food wait was an hour, we then waited for aprox 1 hour and 20 mins before asking staff where the food was. We had booked our table for 6:45, very surprised that bookings can be taken if food wait is so long. By the time the food arrived, the restaurant was almost empty so unsure why we still had to chase it up…had kitchen staff gone on a break before starting to prepare our food?

Never again!!!!! Went in today on a Sunday for lunch was seated at a table was told its table service twenty minutes later i decided to just go to the bar to order. Almost an hour later still no food but after asking they said they were just bringing it out, no apology for the wait. The order was wrong and the chips were hard definitely not edible . Sadly I ate alone while my husband took his back and got a refund. Such a lovely place it’s a shame the staff were uninterested and the manager didn’t seem to have a clue what was going on

Venue felt very busy on arrival but we were greeted warmly and shown to our reserved table. Drink & food order noted correctly but first course took quite a while to arrive. Starters were very good and well presented. Main course arrived quickly after starters cleared. Presentation was again good but steak not cooked to order (overdone). Chicken Schnitzel was very nice but could have been enhanced further with more sauce. Ordered desserts at the bar as our server had been called upon to dispense drinks (maybe a bit short-staffed?). Used the tastecard for 25% discount but wasn't advised until after finishing our meals that it wasn't valid on the 3-course evening set menu. Should be advertised or, at least, explained when taking initial orders.

Although we are locals we very rarely come here as there always seems to be an issue and this visit was no exception. No Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, no Cheesy Mushrooms, no Mixed Grill available. 3 out of 4 of us had to change what we wanted to eat. It seems when you have a voucher on there are always things missing from the menu.

I don't think an 8oz steak, 10 chips and half a tomato equates to £19:50. The only reason I didn't make a scene was because it was mother's day and there were other families there. We were told there's a 40 minute wait, this was fine. Turned out to be over an hour.

Food was good but multiple mistakes were made with our orders that led to delays which isn’t ideal for a work lunch trip. Mains: forgot to prepare one meal - or just got the order wrong. Kitchen clearly had to start from scratch once we pointed out the error meaning one of our party was waiting a considerable time while all others ate. Puddings: Exactly the same error with dessert, leaving one of our group waiting while others ate. Led to having to rush back despite allowing 1hr 45m for lunch. I’ll come again at a weekend but probably won’t be choosing the Pinhoe Hoard anytime I need to be somewhere after lunch!

Oh dear. Your poor staff. It seems they were overwhemled this evening. Maybe you had unplanned absences or simply didn't allow enough staff for a busy Saturday night but everything suffered, including your own people who were clearly distressed by not being able to provide a good service. Some were in or close to tears! They wait for food was not the advised 40 minutes but 120 minutes. When it did arrive it was poorly/over cooked. - and they knew it. No point in mentioning this as I couldn't manage another long wait. Sadly, this is not the first time I have had a similer experience at this venue so I will be cautios about returning.

We waited 40 minutes for starters , 35 minutes for our main course. My 4 year old granddaughter was very hungry by this time. My granddaughter accidentally spilt her drink , the waitress was informed and returned with some napkins which we had to clean up ourselves. My main had to be returned (ceaser salad) as was tasteless and lettuce was limp, unfortunately I forgot to take a photo. My granddaughter ordered an ice cream sundae which was a big disappoint as per photo !! We won’t be returning that’s for sure!!

Would definitely recommend a visit. They have a beer garden with a play area for kids too.

Absolutely terrible service, we booked 4:45-6:45 as we had another activity booked for 7. The waiters completely ignored us after seating us, I had to go to find somebody to take our order, even though the pub was extremely empty. We waited over 1.5hrs for food although we asked after it twice to which they were “just plating it up”. we had to leave without eating as we didn’t have enough time to get to our activity. Very disappointing as this was a birthday meal and ruined our night.

Returned here as friends were saying it is much improved . Hubbie and I had the steak fillet with a mini pie. The food tasted good apart from it being a small portion and £25 . When the waitress put the plate infront of me I nearly said “ where is the rest of it “? I never have the need for a pudding but was still hungry and the pudding selection was not to my taste so I left there not completely full For an expensive dish there needed to be more potatoes and the gravy to go with the pie was also not enough . I think the quality of the food has improved but if your going to charge £25 it has to be a good sized plate of food . Would I return here , probably not ?

Not a great experience to be honest. We on a Monday afternoon, party of 2 and there was only 2 other tables in use. It took 45 minutes for our mains, which is fine and they were tasty, however it then took another 50 minutes for pudding. It was obvious we had been forgotten about because after 35 minutes I asked where it was and was told it would just be a few more. 15 mins later and our half cold, clearly microwaved dessert arrived with no acknowledgement. The place is also filthy, the table, floor, bathroom and highchairs were gross.

Still a go to for special occasions since almost 20 years! Found the seasoning lacking across all dishes we ordered, especially the main event - steak. The service was pleasant, professional and non-intrusive as always. The atmosphere and decor always cozy and special. Hopefully, the seasoning can be less reserved and more confident on next visit! Overall, still our favourite. Visited 29th April early dinner.
