Came in for a roast and wow I was impressed. Had the trio and I have never had a roast like it. Came with all the trimmings and was piping hot and extremely delicious! Thank you to all the chefs! Service also worth 5 stars! Maisy looked after us super well. The young man hosting was also a delight. Can’t wait for next week

Very long wait on food, and the food that did arrive was nothing short of awful. We have been several times in the past, but this is the third time under the current management that we have had a poor experience. We’ll certainly not be trying a fourth time. They really need to do something with their chefs as they will be the death of this business. Staff stood around chatting amongst each other uninterested in the customers experience. Just a very poor birthday meal out.

Me and my husband visited this pub for the first time today. It was very cosy and I loved the wooden beams with fairy lights. Tracy was very welcoming and attentive. The food was amazing! We both had the calamari to start and it was probably the best batter we have ever had. My husband had the burger and I had the sea bass which was equally as nice. The reason for taking off a star is because of the cleanliness of the women toilets, although Tracy sorted it out quickly it was still unacceptable.

Attempted to go for a drink with my father on Friday evening. Waited 5 minutes at the bar then the bar lady said she would get to us, suggesting we should sit down in the bar area. We were ignored from then on despite more people arriving and being served. We walked out after just shy of 15 minutes.

Tried to book for table service was told it was only only bar service. Fair enough but the place was empty !! Asked for lasagne to be served with chips instead of garlic bread, told not possible. Only can serve chips as an additional side order. Had to pay £18 for a pinged lasagne and overcooked chips. Main meal came before starters. Calamari was rock hard and had obviously been kept warm before it was served. Took over 1 hour to clear the plates, in the end, gave up and did it ourselves. Absolutely shocking meal and terrible service. Staff were rude and had no customer service skills. No wonder the place was empty. Avoid at all costs.

My daughter and I found this cafe by accident. Here are our thoughts. 1. too small to allow dogs indoors. 2. could do with a bit of a refresh. The chair pads were stained and there were grease stains up the wall by our table. 3. toilet was very clean but on the first floor which meant climbing some very steep steps. Not disabled friendly. However my daughter who is vegetarian had a really good choice of foods and thoroughly enjoyed her meal. The young staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The coffee was delicious as was my hummus platter with Greek salad. The prices were good and I would highly recommend but I think it could be even better with a bit of a refurb. Didn't get to see the garden as it was too hot to sit outside but from the photos it looks really nice.

Portway Inn, was the best place for breakfats for my family and I. we use to go each week. Todday we were turned away and was told they no longer accept outside customers only residents only. I have taken a picture of each of these. There terms and conditions, there website, their menu and when you walk towards the reception entrance from car park, no where does it say residents only can get breakfast. what a waste of time and fuel. I am so disappointed.

Sadly this pub remains closed. Some work has been done on the building but there is no indication that it will reopen soon. Best to check before travelling. The nearest pub is the Black Horse at West Tytherley which has good reviews.
