Went to Pinhoe hoard today for my partners birthday meal also with our 2 daughters and was so disappointed, had hunters chicken and it was like the thinest price of chicken I have seen, def not a chicken breast, few chips and a piece of lettuce on its own, that was meant to be my salad. Sat us next to a noisy table when the other half of the restaurant was empty and would have been nice to have time together and conversation. But instead just listening to women shouting across the table. They must of wanted to keep the other half of the restaurant clean.

£15 for a disgusting microwave re-heated burger. Chips were cold. Onion rings had been cooked previously then re-heated in the fryer. Both me and my partner now feel ill straight after eating there. Would have have got a better quality burger from a fast food restaurant.

The Feta we had was amazing! And the butter for the bread on the side wasn't rock solid. Our burgers were well done and our halloumi fries were perfect. The waiters could use a bit of work since we saw 3 sat down watching us wait at the till to pay from a corner booth near the kitchens doors. They had to be told to help us by the only guy behind the bar who was making up drinks and cleaning. It's anxiety inducing being stared at from across the pub, no less by the staff who clearly are waiting to see if the other guy will do the work they don't want to do. Also the server we had come to our table felt rather rude when taking our orders and bringing us our food.

I had a very frustrating experience at Pinhoe Hoard Pub. We ordered several items from the menu, but they were unavailable, and instead of honoring our original choices, we were forced to select different items. To make matters worse, the pub refused to refund the price difference between what we originally ordered and what we ended up getting. The food we did receive was underwhelming—bland and poorly prepared. The lack of proper customer service and the overall disappointment with the food make it unlikely that I'll be returning.

Have visited on a few occasions as it's local to us. Stopped in for something to eat after work recently and the food was great. Gluten-free cheese and bacon burger was the best I've had in ages and the battered fish portion the Mrs had was huge. Drinks are reasonably priced and we were well looked after by the lovely Lauren. There is a nice kids play area and plenty of seating outside too.

Amazing service provider by Lauren, I have never seen Lauren stay still for a second. Always adhering to customers needs or clearing areas for the next customer. She always recommends a good choice for food when we’re indecisive. And no matter how busy the establishment is lauren always remains calm and professional. All the reasons why the Hoard is my primary choice to eat out or have a drink. Plus my daughter loves playing in the garden.

Called for an evening meal with wife and daughter on evening of 20th June. Daughter had scampi and chips which she rated as one star. Wife had lasagna with garlic bread. Lasagna was completely tasteless and the garlic bead uncooked in the middle. I had a pie, spoonful of mash, a little sliced carrot and a small amount of green beans. The pie, which resembled a scone, had the weirdest taste, vaguely of chicken but not the vegetarian one that I had ordered. The three of us agreed that it was probably the most horrible meal that we had ever eaten. No member of the staff approached us, we had paid on ordering, so we quickly decided to take our leave and go, obviously never to return. It is simply not possible that any sort of chef was involved in the preparation of this dross; it had to be ‘prepared’ way in advance and bunged into a microwave. What an incredible waste of money.

I don’t normally write reviews but I just wanted to make people aware that this place is a complete rip off for what it is. First of all it’s over £6 for a pint. You wouldn’t even pay that much at popular pubs and bars in the city centre and this place is outside of town. What was even more annoying is that I paid £5 for such a small portion of cheesey chips. There was about 12 chips in the bowl, hardly any cheese and it took roughly 45 mins to arrive at the table. When I asked the server whether this was normal, he completely agreed and said it’s a terrible portion size 😂 Whoever’s running the show should take note and make some changes!
