Ramblewood Inn in Peterborough

Absolutely amazing place. While food is not on the cheap end, the prices are really low of the amazing quality of the food. The staff are really friendly as well. 10/10 would go here.

I dropped in and got a table. Why was it so hard to get a table when the restaurant had only two others? Three others came in, and a large party sat on the platform area. The food was excellent overall, but it was disappointing to get frozen chips. The mushroom starter was very good, and the Cirus chicken was fresh and tasty, but it was spoilt by the chips.

I arrived at Orton Hotel and Spa after looking at the Hotel online and thinking it was a really nice place. Pictures can be deceiving. When I checked in, I was told there was a formal restaurant and an informal restaurant. I chose the Ramblewood Inn because that was the informal restaurant. I ordered fish and chips with mushy peas and onion rings. The onion rings arrived after the fish and chips, so I didn't eat them, so I have no idea what they tasted like. As for the fish and chips, the chips were the cheap frozen kind you can buy in bags from Freezer Shops such as Iceland. The fish was very small, did not taste like Haddock and I think it was also frozen, certainly not fresh. The mushy peas were not mushy, but garden peas. The meal with 2 soft drinks, a starter and a dessert was just shy of £50. I could have poured some items from the freezer into a deep fat fryer and had the same for a few pounds and no doubt it would have tasted better. You go out for a meal and you expect better. I don't go out to pay £50 for food that someone has poured from a bag into a fryer and then put on a plate.

Nothing Special here, We were staying at the hotel next door but the main restaurant was closed Monday and Tuesday. The service was slow but polite but the food was very average the set up was similar to a pub chain no frills sort of dining. It’s a shame you have a beautiful spar hotel next door but a pub to eat in the evening. Certainly didn’t work for me.

Food service was a little slow but the waiting staff were lovely, so helpful and polite. Food itself was lovely. The fish and chips was my go to and very happy I did. Lovely crispy batter. All in all a good price for a main for 4 adults meals and one child with drinks, under £100 ! Would highly recommend.

This place has so much potential but does not seem to be using it. We popped in for a quick lunch following our spa visit next door. I read the reviews beforehand, which I always do before trusting any restaurant, and having seen they were below 4 *, we still gave it a chance. I thought you can't spoil the soup! We had a broccoli and onion soup, which was absolutely disgusting. If I had not been told what soup was served that day, by no means would I have been able to tell the flavour. As a good eater, not a finicky one, I can say, the soup was inedible. And the prices not reflecting the quality. Sadly, I need to say it is unfair these days to offer something like this! It needs to change!

Nice little restaurant with a quaint feel to it. Just had drinks so can't comment on food. I had a latte for £2.50 which is a decent price nowadays!!! Lovely outside seating area and spacious car park. Toilets are all the way upstairs so just be aware of that,they were very clean and well stocked.

We went for lunch on the 7 July the food was terrible and all the chefs was messing around in the kitchen we had to ask twice for the sauces to go with our dinner but demi was a big help but the prices were extortionate I m would not recommend ramblewood to anyone just wish my local was still open they offer a better service

Visited yesterday afternoon for a few drinks and some light snacks. The dinning staff showed very good service and the food was great too. The bao pork buns were the highlight. I will be returning

Ramblewood Inn is a great place in beautiful location. Staff so helpful. Needs a refurb and reinstated carvery. The food is mediocre at present. So much potential. Not sure why it has lost appeal to locals.

The best food ever best service would recommend to everyone the steaks are amazing whoever cooked them clearly knows what there doing

Did not book just turned up. got seated in good time, quick service, drinks ok, fish and chips were fine, paid bill in time.

It’s a cracking pub, smashing staff, very friendly It would be terrific to have live bands! The atmosphere is just marvelous

nice place friendly staff would be nice to see some live band's. In all its a very pleasant place I would definitely recommend the ramble wood Inn.

We organised a family lunch for 12 of us on Sunday February 4th and enjoyed excellent hospitality and service from Andy (the pub manager) and his team. From planning the event, about 10 days beforehand, and right through the actual lunch itself. we were treated like royalty. Everything was perfect and the quality of our Starters, Roast beef lunches and Desserts were at the highest end of the scale of perfection. We had two dogs with us who were also given a very warm welcome with packets of treats and individual water bowls for their comfort. We can thoroughly recommend the Ramblewood and will definitely be visiting them again soon.

We mistakenly gave this restaurant, which is next to the Orton Hall Hotel & Spa, the benefit of the doubt and a second chance. We went there one year ago and it was fine (though nothing extra special), but not this time. On Friday 19th January 2024 we had a meal at The Ramblewood Inn. We are both trying to lower our cholesterol levels (and taking Atorvastatin). With this in mind, my wife chose what looked like a simple meal: pasta and vegetables. But it was seeped in grease, and very oily. She only ate half of it. We mentioned this when the waiter took the plates away. He seemed concerned and asked us if she would like something else. She asked if there was a jacket potato or fresh fruit, but there was neither. Looking back at the menu, all the foods on the menu were fatty and high in cholesterol. She settled for some bread and soup. They reduced the bill, which was fair. However, we had booked a table for Sunday 21st for four people. It was convenient, as it was next to Orton Hall Hotel. My wife chose a vegie burger option (but didn’t eat the chips), so that was okay. My cousin chose the ploughman’s which looked a tad rich, but she seemed okay with it. We asked for the desert menu, but to our surprise we were told that the kitchen was closed. However, thank goodness we did not have deserts, for a few minutes later my cousin said she felt unwell. The restaurant, which was now empty, was suddenly feeling very cold even though she was sitting next to a radiator. She went to sit on another table, as she said she was unwell and was feeling sick. My wife offered to go to the Ladies with her; my cousin tried to stand up and then collapsed on the floor. It was very scary. We called for staff, explained the situation, and then a bucket was brought, and my cousin was sick, several times. We were astonished, and she was embarrassed and apologised. We now all feel convinced that it was the food that caused her to be sick. She had a good night’s sleep and was fine the next day. My wife went to the Ladies after this: it was upstairs and a long way away. My cousin has mobility issues, so there was no way she could have made it to the Ladies. We paid the bill the next day at the Hotel checkout (on the 22nd January) but there were no deductions offered, or apologies, or concern expressed regarding the meal the previous night. We just wanted to leave, rather than haggle. On reflection, and given how events transpired, we thought we should write this review. We will not be going to this restaurant again on our visits to Peterborough. On a positive note, the pool and spa in the Hotel is excellent for health and wellbeing, but the food in The Ramblewood Inn is not.

Staying at the adjoining hotel we ate here on the first night of our stay and had a good meal. All staff friendly and helpful. Good value and convenient for our needs. Very quiet as a Monday evening.

This was the first visit, and I can’t recommend the staff enough. They were friendly, pleasant and intuitive in dealing with us. We were guided to the bar to eat as the restaurant was very busy and loud. Then the table service in the bar was exceptional. We had a slight issue with the food, but this was swiftly dealt with in a very friendly manner. The food could be better, but still acceptable and if the staff continue to work on this, I would have no hesitation to recommend this inn. Will go again.

Visited with 4 friends. It’s a very dated and needs a refurb. Food was poor to awful and very overpriced for what it was. Their non alcoholic drink choices were very limited - just beers and fizzy drinks, neither of which I particularly like. Staff were friendly enough but did forget to order one of the desserts and we had to chase this up with them. Not a good dining experience unfortunately and had I not been there with a group of friends I would’ve left before ordering.

Without question this was the worst ever meal experience we have ever had. It was as if it was staged as how NOT to prepare and serve food as an example of the worst hospitality ever. We ordered a mixture of mains and starters and asked for them to be served at the same time as vegetarians wanted the starters as their mains plus sides. One starter came first without the sides and there was a 30 minute wait for the rest. The goats cheese starter was sent back as the salad was gritty. When offered another we said no as too much risk but would have a ploughman's without the pork pie and ham at which the server said she would ask the 'chef' as ' they can be funny'! The mac and cheese was the most disgusting ever tasted as it was basically mac and no cheese. Judging by the Ploughman's having a tiny wedge of cheese we assumed the kitchen had run out! A salad brought out after the gritty one was sent back also had grit in it. My wife asked for full refund which was given without question. Lord knows what was going on in the kitchen but there was clearly no one who knew anything about food. I can happily send instructions about how to make a decent cheese sauce and wash salad.

Everything that could go wrong -did! We arrived and were greeted by our waiter telling us to wait while he was tapping at the computer. This went on for a few mins. He showed us to a table with very dirty condiments and wilting flowers. It was also next to very hot radiator. We asked to move near the window. It took 10-15 minutes at least to have order taken then further 5-10 mins to get drinks. After 45 mins I enquired where our starters were -waiter apologised that order hadn’t gone through system. About 15 mins later we got our order-my soup was luke warm and a skin had formed. I ate it as was v hungry. The main courses had to be sent back as they were lukewarm. When they returned the sauce was a different colour and my pork steak had reduced in size by about two thirds! Discovered that a member of staff had not turned up so the pot cleaner was acting as a waiter. This does not excuse very average food in mediocre surroundings. Not what is expected at a four star hotel. Probably the worst meal I have eaten at a restaurant for the past 5 years. Avoid .

At the Ramblewood. Been our usual Saturday night drinking venue for years but after a time of not being able to attend was very disappointed in the service. On arrival (on time )was told our table would be 5 mins. Absolutely fine we went to the bar and ordered drinks but 30 mins later had to go and ask what was happing with our table Explaining we has a diabetic with us who needed food. Was told would sort out. Got our table ordered our food and then waited …. …. 1 hour and 30 minutes after our table had been booked our Food finally arrived. Edible but not outstanding on either of our 4 plates. Restaurant managers feeble excuse about trouble in kitchens not good enough as no feedback to the waiting customers was provided to explain the wait What a disappointing evening in the food aspect. Won’t be back for food . 🥲 So disappointing as this used to be my normal “brilliant” Saturday night go to place for drinks and wanted to show this off to our friends 😞. Shame on you Ramblewood Inn

My partner and I ate here on Saturday night as we were staying at Orton Hall. A very unfortunate decision sadly. We ordered chicken wings to share followed by a Tempura lemon and basil cod for myself and a beefburger for my partner. After 40 minutes our starter hadn't arrived so I informed the waiter. A few minutes later our starter arrived with our mains. Not the point of a starter! Both our mains were £16.95. Which we wouldn't mind if the quality had been good but it was honestly the worst meal either of us have ever eaten. My partner's burger was a pathetic small grey patty with a bit of salad in a cheap bread roll. Accompanying this was a handful of frozen chips. No other garnish. I chose the cod which looked and tasted like something out of the freezer section of a cheap supermarket. The chips were so salty I couldn't eat them. I was also given a teaspoon of peas. Both our meals were terrible and if we hadn't been so hungry we wouldn't have eaten them at all. We politely gave our very pleasant waiter our feedback and he took the 'starter' off the bill. If you are thinking of visiting this pub, I would advise you to have a drink only and go somewhere else for a meal. It was quite shocking. It's not even a pleasant place to sit! It is very dated with cheap furniture and in the restaurant the lights were way too bright. The outside area is unkempt and really needs some tlc.

Gorgeous meal and excellent service! Huge thanks to Rachel, Gemma, Callum and Joshua for being so brilliant and attentive! Wonderful service - thank you x

Came here with my wife for a Mother's Day dinner. The menu a locally printed sheet of A4 paper which was hastily retrieved by the staff. All very well but we should not have been given a used sheet of paper again when ordering dessert. Food stained, grubby, well thumbed and curling paper with the joy of being handled potentially by someone carrying Covid. Bit of a faux par there folks.On the whole, some of the food has improved however, we are still subjected to the ceiling fan downwash which in turn and yet again caused our food to go cold in less the 3 minutes.I suggest you either turn the darn things off or switch on reverse so it sends the air upwards thus deflecting the air flow against the ceiling. The seating yet again saw staff and customers wafting past within a disrespectful distance and this creates further air flow on our food.The food was fine. The cream cheese cigars were quite novel but the cheese was way too mild and very little flavour.The main started out as superb but then with the room being cold soon became unpleasant. Dessert choice was limited and poor and not really very appealing.All in all a rather decent start then ending up a disappointment yet again. You really have not taken into account criticisms over the years. Any wonder your rating has dropped. Well I won't be marking positively and doubt we will return.I was looking for a venue to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday plus wedding anniversary with our family and close friends, 30 plus in the party so well done Ramblewood, this booking will be going to a more deserving venue.

Often get a drink here. Has seemed very quiet since covid.We booked our family pre Christmas meal (11 of us). All off menu (used to be carvery).Meat well cooked, veggies not overdone. Not knock out but tasty. Roast potatoes not good and let it down a bit. Staff are friendly and welcoming. This isn’t fine dining but doesn’t pretend to be. But a warm welcome and decent food for a reasonable price makes it a decent option

Stopped by for something to eat after a very long journey, had an exceptional tasty beef stew (with great cuts of beef no fat at all!) and vegetables that really hit the spot! If we lived local we’d pop in more often ;)

I stayed in the hotel next door on & off for 3 weeks and dinner was served here.The same boring menu with no specials at all, it was overpriced for what it is.The menu is dull having eaten my way through it over 3 weeks, portion size was ok but it needs jazzing up, a specials board would help and the deserts aren’t up to much either. I wouldn’t recommend it for a place to eat.

Excellent meal, friendly staff and prompt service. Good protions and tasty pub style menu, we had individual steak and ale pie and pan fried salmon

We were with my family!!! I was very tasty and my family loved it!We had salmon and steak... everything was delicious and magical!!! We also want to praise the head chef Joidie and his deputy Ollye !!!!

We were made most welcome as soon as we arrived a bowl of water was brought out for the dogs. The first evening we had our meal in the grounds, the steak pie was the best I have ever tasted The staff were most friendly and helpful, I would recommend the pub.

Really enjoyed evening dinner in nice spacious restaurant, all at reasonable prices in comfortable surroundings. Good choice of menu. Service was excellent too with friendly staff.

Great location, food was delicious. Would recommend, real little gem of a place for lunch. The only criticism I have is we ate in the rear garden and the grass was long- although maybe too wet to cut.

Have dined here many times before with dog in tow but we arrived at virtually empty restaurant for Sunday lunch but were advised that because of Covid our canine company meant we would only be able to dine outside, despite dubious weather. Ridiculous, Don't think Grezley the airedale has Covid though he has been barking a lot of late. Although it would have been nice to support an independent concer no way we we going to freeze. Realise times are difficult at the moment restaurant teams having to cope with Covid regulations but the impression they didn't really care about any loss of business and to be honest the menu hasn't been that great on the last couple of occasions. Ah, the golden days of Little Chef Scampi!

We booked into Ramblewood, the staff where absolutely lovely. We had very prompt service & the food Chicken Burger was amazing ! I actually ate the lot which I don’t normally, flavours where so tasty. It was the best Chicken burger I have ate for a long time, even the chips had seasoning on. We mentioned we was a bit cold due to air con and they put the heating on, could not fault the staff or chef. Delicious.

Ate here 3 nights, and would reccomend a visit. We pre-booked the first night of our stay, (for 6pm) not knowing if they would be busy (or not), and found they were very quiet (which is a shame). Hand sanitiser on arrival . We had the gammon and my mum the Hunters chicken, and both were more than filling. Their lasagne is also very nice, and came with either garlic bread or chips. Desserts were on the blackboard, rather than menu. Staff were very friendly and helpful; thanks especially to Aimee and Andy . Would reccomend a visit.

Food wasn’t great and staff seemed hostile, first bad Experience we have had here, no worries it won’t put us off trying again!

We were loo3king for somewhere nice to eat when my friend remembered going there. The surroundings are fantastic. The inside ok....not a favourite of dogs in eating area. I ordered spaghetti with meatballs and my friend had a lasagne and side salad. Its the first time in my life i have been in a restaurant and not been able to eat more than 2 mouthfuls of the meal I was served. The spaghetti was tasteless and was just mixed in with tinned tomatoes and the meatballs which should have bern on top of the spaghetti was hidden underneath and could understand why. They were dry and absolutely tasteless, was like eating cardboard. When it arrived it looked unappetising but thought I'd give it a try. It was the worse meal i had ever tasted and left it. I complained and it was taken off the bill. The hygiene of the staff serving behind the bar left a lot to be desired. I was asked if i wanted a dessert but declined after seeing bar staff wiping down tables and petting/treating patrons dogs with treats then returning behind the bar and not washing their hands so I declined. My friend ate their meal as they were hungry but it was lacking also. The lasagne was dry. It did not seem/appear like it was freshly cooked more like reheated frozen. I was sorely disappointed.

We came in for our anniversary, me and partner both went for meatballs, they were gorgeous! I personally thanked the chef who cooked it, i beleive his name was peter, Great place to eat!

Rude and unprofessional uninterested staff.Food was warm on the outside and cold in the middle. No staff around, left to sit for 45 minutes before deciding to get up and walk out ! Only then did a member of staff appear from the bar and rushed to the restaurant till.. no words were exchanged as she was obviously not interested in how our food or visit was.Never going back nor would I recommend the place to anyone.

We were here last nightThe whole experience was a disgrace!Noodles not cooked and served cold (it was quite clear it was microwaved)Gammon came out with a big slice of white rubbery fat on the top(it was requested well done so in theory the fat would have been as well !!!! It’s not rocket science)The gammon was sent back to be cooked more and came back in the same state!!!The waitress couldn’t have looked more miserable and she never came back to us to clear the tableWe cleared it ourselves!???The restaurant was EMPTY????There was a very Loud larger lady who looked like she had just got out of bed with the attire she woreThere was another member of staff dressed in black who looked depressed .... not surprised really considering the uniform given was 4 sizes too big!!!Bar staff were blunt and unfriendly I don’t know who are writing the GREAT reviews about here as they must be easily pleasedSuch a shame as the pub itself is lovely .Management should be sacked!PsThese are facts

The Inn is attached to Orton Hall so it is a place to come for a more relaxed place to eat. Unfortunately the menu is very limited and does not cater for people who want a lighter meal such as a salad. I had a steak which was tender however the chips that came with it were un-eatable. The mushrooms were cold and the peas were anaemic looking

Yesterday I enjoyed a delicious meal !!!According to the rules of etiquette, food should not be very hot (it was just like it should be hot). But yesterday all the food was excellent !!! And even better food than I had before in other restaurants of our town !!! Thanks to the cooks and waiters !!! (my rating is 5 *) !!!!!!!!!

Service was great... friendly girls behind the bar and serving Food was good too... one issue that warranted the 3* was although my meal was hot the vegetables were not! Shame Otherwise all okay

Come on Ramblewood and Orton Hall Hotel sort out your car park!!! Boots absolutely caked in mud and carpets in car in a similar state!!!! I was only visiting for a drink in the pub but I am wondering what a wedding party's shoes would be like!!!

We had booked the festive menu and preordered our three courses,it was therefore a surprise to find the restaurant largely empty, the starters were okay but not inspired.The carvers was served on cold plates,the meat chop off in doorsteps,the vegetables were clearly reheated from a previous day and were at best tepid,dessert was again bought in.although we had been told the festive menu was the only option diners around us were eating other choices

6 of us visited on a week night and ordered from the Christmas menu,the service was good and the food was lovely and hot all being delivered by very attentive staff. Gin choices were immense. We all said we will definitely return.

Good food, very busy but accommodated and good service, food was of good value and quick service, too quick as mains brought out before starters finish, apart from that goid

I had book the upstairs room for 18 people, it is a perfect size room for a private party. We put all our ballons and banners up in the afternoon so the room look lovely, there was a mixture of ages in our party, so the menu adults and children had plenty to offer, Henry was taking care of us all he was excellent, friendly made sure we were happy with the food which was lovely nearly all of us had ordered different things, everything was hot all came out at the same time no complaints at all, there were jugs of squash for the children on the table every little detail was taken care of, it was a perfect evening.

Had a lovely visit this evening trying out the new menu. We were sat in the restaurant and made to feel welcome. Staff were lovely and the thoughtful young shift manageress Lauren kept on checking back on us regularly in case we needed anything. I had the sticky ribs, which were absolutely delicious and kids had pizzas of the kids menu, that looked very cute and they have enjoyed very much. My husband had the new steak and cod combo, which came with flavoursome garlic mushrooms and many more sides on the plate. He has thoroughly enjoyed his meal and said it was cooked to perfection.

Popped in for lunch on Sunday and never having had the Carvery we weren’t sure what to expect, much to our delight the meat was cooked to perfect the vegetables were fresh and steaming hot ,hands down the best Sunday lunch we’ve had in along time .

Popper in for an afternoon half of IPAas we had been walking nearby - very friendly pub - brilliant to he abke to sit outside in the sunshine

Please vote as helpful if you find it so.

Came in on sunday for sunday lunch with mates. It was beautiful, really nice meats. Lovely staff, very attentive. I come in here regularly for a few drinks, it is always a great atmosphere!

* Please vote if you find this review helpful*

Have eaten and drunk here a few times. Staff very friendly and helpful- the bar has a good atmosphere. Very good range of gins and ales. Dog friendly as well which is a bonus.

Took my friend there for a birthday meal. Big mistake. Had to ask for the dip accompaniment to my calamari. When I queried the total lack of bed of rocket I was informed “it’s only leaves” (really, not a commemorative model of Apollo 11 after all?) and the reason for it’s absence was that the kitchen didn’t have any! Having settled for the half rack of ribs as there was no fish for fish and chips, my friend discovered that underneath the glaze they were virtually raw and as such inedible. We abandoned them and left without complaining because my friend was so upset at her birthday meal being such a disaster and I felt there was little point having been already been looked at by our server like I was half cracked because I’d had the effrontery to expect the dish as described on the menu and paid for in advance. We won’t be back.

Chose to eat here as we could take our dog and the evening started well with a good gin menu and free dog biscuits, but the food was poor. Two of our party chose meals from the menu to be told they were not available, which is fine but we were told the fish pie was off because it was ‘terrible’. Judging by the standard of the food we did get it must have been pretty bad for anyone to have noticed. Prawn cocktails lacked taste so we had to ask for extra Marie Rose. Lincolnshire sausage was not Lincolnshire at all - curled like Cumberland and not a trace of sage. Mashed potato was like school dinners - lumpy and bland. Generally just all felt a bit sub-standard and the service was not great either. Waiter cleared our starters and brought our mains then left us with nothing to eat with, so we had to get up and fetch new cutlery ourselves. We won’t be back I’m afraid.

Went to the pub for evening meal due to staying in the hotel. Table was dirty , meal choice is pretty limited , order sausage and mash , wasn’t that hot , mash was shocking , poor gravy. Then sat waiting for about 10 mins for someone to take plate away , another 10 for someone to ask if I required dessert menu. Really poor fudge cake - little taste and close to being stale. The staff seemed to spend more time laughing and joking with each other than servicing the small amount of tables - it seems the bar is the priority.

First of all can I give credit to the staff. They are great, friendly and I would give them 5 stars without hesitation. Sadly, the Ramblewood Inn itself is dreadful. The carpet is so filthy it’s shiny!! The food isn’t good. Halloumi and avocado salad with a tablespoon of brown mushy avocado (yes really!), beef stir fry with beef you can’t eat because it’s so chewy, strawberry sundae with no strawberries. In the end I ate cheesy chips just to eat something. I don’t normally eat chips but these were acceptable. We obviously mentioned this to the staff who did the best they could under the circumstances and it certainly wasn’t their fault. Stay the hotel by all means, it’s great. But find somewhere else to eat.

Juliette has to be the most amazing lady ever. She works so hard and is so friendly and lovely. Then there’s Mason that has taken some grief off ‘locals’ and that local should learn some manners!! He didn’t even bat an eyelid.

There was a long que at bar waiting to get served. Tables not clean. Food was below average. Pre made and microwaved. Overheard the couple behind me saying that their food was disgusting.

Great service, 30 meals from the main menu, all tasty, lovely; lots of clean plates! Thank you Peter. Tables were all organised for the quiz even with individual team name. Charli and co always go that extra mile. See you again soon.

I visited the restaurant twice this month and on both occasions received a warm and friendly welcome. The fact that Charli remembered the wine we had ordered on our first visit was amazing. The visits were at different times of the day but the welcome and service was the same so this must be their normal standard. The atmosphere is very relaxing and is great for any occasion. Even though we live locally we had never visited but this will now be our restaurant of choice for any occasion. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu.

We are always greeted with a smile by all the friendly staff. The food is always lovely and tasty. They are very accommodating to people's likes and dislikes. There is a nice selection on the menu including vegetarian and vegan meals. Charlie did a great job serving us today and as always she did an equally excellent job in front of house as she does in the kitchen :).

Recently got married and we were looking for somewhere to host an intimate family lunch for after the ceremony and we chose here due to the location. From our initial contact with the pub Charli was fantastic making sure everything was covered from tablecloths to the colour of the napkins, meal choices etc.

First visit to the Ramblewood Inn. Booked a table for 1pm. When we arrived the restaurant was quite quiet, albeit several tables had reserved notices on them. We were worried with being quiet perhaps we had made a mistake. How wrong could we be. The staff were extremely friendly and polite. Two of us ordered from the main menu. I ordered the Sunday carvery. The waitress came to our table to inform us the mains were being plated up which gave me time to get served at the carvery so we could all eat together. The two in my party commented that the meals they ordered were extremely tasty. I had turkey as my meat with all the trimmings you could imagine which were ready to serve yourself. I can honestly say it was the best Sunday dinner I have had eating out for a long time, and excellent value for money. Thank you to the staff that served us today, and thank you to Ramblewood Inn. We definitely will be back.

Pub grub but served with a smile and as a large group looked after well. Food to a good standard and served in a reasonably time frame

We were staying in the hotel this pub is part of so obviously this location was convenient. We arrived late on our first night so decided to eat there. To summarise that was the only meal we took in that pub during our stay. When travelling with our dog we prefer to eat in pubs in order to be able to take her with us rather than leaving her in hotel rooms. The welcome and service were great, staff made a fuss of our dog offering her biscuits. They have a very impressive selection of gins available. Problems were the mac and cheese burger which was actually penne and cheese burger ( I would not have minded if this was mentioned when I ordered or even when it was served) the meat inside was dry, the sausages in the sausage and mash lacked taste and seasoning. As I said, only meal we took there.

We booked the Ramblewood for my Father in law’s wake and the staff couldn’t have done any more to help us. From the moment we walked in to enquire to the moment we left after the wake, all the staff were amazing. The food was fantastic and such good value. They worked so well with us on food allergies too. They even did us a special play list of background music. Would definitely recommend it as somewhere to go for a relaxed and perfect send off.

Staff were very attentive and patient. Food was lovely and plentiful. Their amazing gin menu (40 of them...) was certainly a challenge! Well recommended.

Fosters has been dodgy for a week now. But it is a great pub with friendly staff and lovely locals hopefully the line will be sorted soon.

The best way to describe the Ramblewood Inn is fantastic. The staff were amazing and friendly the environment was welcoming. Booked my 40th last minute with Brittany and she was so helpful and so friendly and an absolute pleasure to talk to, went down the following day to finalise details and was greeted by charli who was amazing and so friendly. On the night of my birthday I was made to feel special by these two lovely ladies who went above and beyond their duties. I would highly recommend the ramblewood the whole team are fantastic and myself and family will now be regulars and have visited the ramblewood since my birthday and was recognised instantly by charli. Fantastic fantastic fantastic

Friendly welcoming staff. Brilliant service. The food is lovely, good choice especially their new menu from 1st April. Looked after by all the staff especially Zoe. We will be back soon.

We were welcomed by Zoe with a smile. She was very professional and very chatty. Zoe is a great asset to the ramble wood and we will definetly visit again. The food was also amazing.....sweet potato and carrot soup was delicious! Great choice of menu and prices are fair. Thank you for a lovely evening and meal.

We have visited with family a number of times and our experiences have varied. Today was very good and the service excellent. The new improved menu includes a range of vegan and vegetarian options.I was disappointed to find that the veggie burger had been removed recently but thanks for rustling one up for me. It was great but please reinstate it on the menu! On another note, we noticed the signs for being dog-friendly and thought we would bring our dogs next time but I read the review about people being turned away when they arrived with a dog and the dog-friendly tables had been reserved. You're either dog-friendly or you're not so this undermines our otherwise positive experience.

Great entertaining night at this pub in the grounds of The Orton Manor Hotel. Mason, the young waiter was charming. The crispy beef starter was tasty but the lamb shank was very tough and we gave up the fight. The dessert all had nut traces so my husband dodged his allergy by sampling from the extensive gin menu. We had to laugh as we saw tables being laid up by one server, with care and attention to immediately be cleared by another server as soon as the original turned his back! We had a great night. The staff never stopped working.

Vast selection of different types of gins. A good selection of drinks overall. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We come here for a Drink, We used to come here for the Carvery which we thought good, but for the past Year or so have been very unimpressed, getting the meat carved, going on to get the veg ect... where are the Roast Potatoes, the Broccoli, Stuffing balls, replied with oh they must be in the Kitchen, terrible so lapse. Have complained twice, Nothing changed so we simply will not eat at Ramblewood.

The food was good and value for money it did as it said on the tin. The staff were very friendly particularly Zoe and Andy. Being disabled the parking is very good with easy access.

We had our daughters 1st birthday party here Saturday and I can not fault the staff and venue , the food was amazing the staff was so lovely, went above and beyond. All our guests said how amazing this place was so beautiful inside and out. Thank you to everyone who made the day extra special. We will be booking more parties with you guys soon. Thanks again :)

Had lunch here the day we arrived and made use of the 2 for 1 offer on food. Good selection of dishes well cooked and great waiter Service. Following evening ate here again with friends and just spent the whole evening eating and drinking in a good atmosphere with attentive waiting staff. When the bill arrived, was plesently surprised at the price.

Drove here today as saw the Inn was dog friendly on all advertising. Arrived to find all the dog friendly tables were reserved for a wedding party that were not using them, the area had 2 people in it and about 8 empty tables. The restaurant section was empty but we were told we would have to sit outside to eat (it was 8 deg C and windy). Staff were totally inflexible and unfriendly, bordering on rude as there was lots of empty space in the pub if they could have been bothered to sort us a table out. The pub was an untidy mess and looked a bit like the morning after a student party so wasn't particularly inviting anyway. We went to the pub in nearby Holme and had an excellent lunch with our dog, sat in the warm.

We was greeted by Charlie who was an absolute delight... she seated us recomended some dishes from the new menu ..i had lamb shank which was lovely my daughter had beef stirfry which she enjoyed followed by the banoffe pie which was lush and i had a chocolate tart from the special board again amazingly tasty.... sampled a few lovely gins too from a very large menu .. unicorn gin... peach and strawberry all superb. Would highly recomend... Charlie's customer service was outstanding and food very nice. 10/10

Liked the venue was very quirky love the telephone box room, service was ok but he seemed rushed. Food choices were good but I ordered the fish and chips and although the portion size was huge the quality lacked to be honest the fish was chewy as though been frozen and not defrosted properly or refrozen just not in flakes as fish should be. The choice was either mushy or garden peas was never asked so arrived with garden.

I have visited here on a couple of occasions, most recently with 40+ colleagues. I am so pleased we chose this venue for our quiz night. Andy and Charli (Managers) made sure that we were well looked after and could not have made more effort to make sure that everything went smoothly on the night. Hats off to the chef for the lovely curries, jacket potatoes, rice and naans; all fresh, hot and everyone was complimentary. Nothing was too much trouble. I have also eaten off the main and snack menu and cannot fault it. Great venue (lovely on the patio in the Summer), friendly and courteous staff, accommodating and good chef; what more can a customer wish for. Many thanks to all. See you again soon.

two great reasons to visit .excellent service from Harry our waiter . our steaks were cooked just to our liking we will definitely visit again

Set menu for mothers day. Prawn cocktail was disappointing once eaten there was an inch of water in the bowl. I complained to the manager who apologised and walked off! Clearly the prawns were frozen and although defrosted; not drained well, if at all and were tasteless. Lamb was incredibly fatty and chewy. Hardly any veg in the bain marie and what was left was dried up and cold, not appealing at all. Roast potatoes were also cold and not at all crispy and awful and gravy was thin and watery. Apple crumble looked like it had been chucked on the plate with the smallest jug of custard. The restaurant is open until 4 so there should plenty of decent food available until then, at least! For £19.95 I would have expected much better. Not sure I would recommend this place at all. Either chef was having a bad day or didn't turn up for work at all.

Stayed at the neighbouring hotel, who's own restaurant was fully booked.

We visited on Sunday afternoon and were greeted and cared for by the fantastic Mason who was very cheery and helpful, the carvery was gorgeous and when we asked if there was any gin we were told there were over 30 flavors! My only issues were that there were a lot of children in the restaurant making it rather loud but that's just luck of the draw, will be here again!

Andy welcomed and seated us very friendly ... ordered drinks my fav gin... well the menu is huge so tried a lemon drizzle gin it was so refreshing. We had carvery the meats were pork,gammon and turkey very nice indeed. Followed by a trio of desserts and a reeces peanut butter sundae which was lush.Highly reccomend and brilliant customer service everytime

Couldn't have asked for more. The service was fast. Food was great and the portions was amazing. Great price and was giving 50% off voucher for next visit. The staff was all friendly and smiling. Overall great experience

Staying away a lot I rely on hotels with built in restaurants.

Excellent service from all the staff especially Lauren who served our table. Nice food and a great atmosphere with nice surroundings Thanks

We tried the Ramblewood for a family dinner. The food was universally poor, not hot enough bad quality and overpriced for what it is. This would have been a rating of terrible, but the staff were very helpful. Dont go here expecting fantastic food.

Friendly pub adjacent to the hotel which also serves food. There is an extensive gin menu too! The manager and his wife were very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent food, popped in for lunch with family we had the the special which was turkey stuffing and cranberry pie, scampi, and hunters chicken which were all incredible so hot and flavoursome and portion sizes are ample a credit to the chef , the food , open fire and warm welcoming staff made a lovely dining experience.

Very welcoming... very nice food we had a sharing tower and the gammon and mushroom pie was very tasty along with the classic burger. Gin menu awesome sampled the house cherry and my fav mombasa strawberry. Latte very nice as was puds. Andy and Lauren were very friendly with good reccomendations... our waiter was a young man not sure if his name was Henry but he was very good at his job. Love it here we will return.

Food is not very good and not cheap. Atmosphere is not welcoming with locals who seem to frequent every night with one fella who seems not to be happy unless he is the loudest person in the bar. Some people might want to here his silly stories, but I certainly don't when I am 30ft away! I don't feel the beer is well kept and never really feel welcome. Such a shame as is a lovely building and could be really nice.

Had a started which was belly pork and nice, a steak with veg and 2 diet cokes. Came to £29.50.
