Lovely setting. Lovely venue. Dreadful service! Sullen, to the point of rudeness waitress. Appeared everything was an effort for her . Waited 45 mins for dinner plates to be removed, order dessert and more drinks. This only happened 10 mins after asking at bar for this to happen. Request was met with more couldn't care less attitude and excuses. But no apologies. Wont be visiting again which is a shame as the pub itself and surrounding area were beautiful. Just a shame about the staff.

Went here to attend a funeral,, so the catering was a buffet. Great value for variety of of cold and warm snacks available. Quite busy for a Monday afternoon. Staff were attentive and polite. Bar area was busy but didn't wait long for service. Only down side for me, was the car parking. You have to book in on arrival, and only one machine working so queued up 5min. And you book a full day. Which confused people, most people we looking for hours. But overall a very good experience.

This is a really nice pub to have a quiet meal, as it's out in the sticks a bit it doesn't get mega busy so there is always a table available, the staff are friendly and the food is decent. They have loads of offers, we usually go for the 2 melas for 11.99 as it's a bargain and there are plenty of choices on there we like. If you like somewhere a bit lively it's probably isn't for you but for a nice quiet meal, it's perfect

Massive thank you to Molly, Tom and Alison always make our visit welcoming and always about for a chat. As soon as my wife and i stepped into the sparrow with my little girl, we were greeted at the door by Lorraine. After seating, the manager popped over to us for a friendly chat. He approached like he knew us for years. Sunday roast are really nice. Other food offered on the menu has been really nice too, the food has come out hot each time with our other dishes. The kids' menu is excellent value for money. Again, thank you for your service and hospitality, Molly, Tom, Alison and Lorraine.

We were supposed to be having a meal at 17:30 but eventually received a lukewarm meal nearly two hours later with no apologies, A few of our party had ordered tomato soup but apparently they had run out ( ordered nearly at least 6 weeks prior) again no reasonable apology, The beer (not cask) was nearly £5 a pint with bottles the same, This is not a place to expect a decent meal for the price and don't bother getting a taxi as alcohol is priced off rhe menu and soft drinks just as expensive giving no reason to abstain , I definitely will not be taking my wife for a meal here after the abysmal service and extortionate prices.

We arrived and were seated by the doors. It was freezing cold and kept our coats on. We had the festive menu and there was no tomato soup starters. The meat was lovely but the roast potatoes, stuffing balls, sprouts and carrots I thought had been re heated from the Christmas Day leftovers!!! Our mains were bought to us and we had to pinch cutlery from the table next to us as the person who bought us out meals just disappeared as I believe there were just 2 of them serving the whole restaurant…. We will not be returning again as we were disappointed on our last visit too.

Came here today with family and was overall ok. We were greeted by the very nice man who was front of house. Very welcoming and helpful. After that, service slowed up (I think due to server demand over the other side of the pub). Order was taken with no issue. Food was alright. Not bad, but not great either. I had a roast. Gammon was lovely, beef was quite poor quality. Everything was your standard stuff which by no means is bad, but weren't incredible neither. Dessert was ok too, Overall, I'm unsure if I would visit again, atmosphere was nice as many people were there but it wasn't too loud. I would recommend trying here, but don't expect much more than your standard food.

First time to this venue, we’re from London and had spent the day at Warwick Castle so this is not a local venue for us. It was beautiful inside, very clean, spacious and all the tables were clean & tidy too. We will be visiting this Brewers Fayre again for sure. We have been to quite a few Brewers Fayres and though they were very friendly, this one has to be the most memorable due to how nice the interior is - all staff definitely were the cherry on the top. Thank you to Tom & his team 👏🙏

Food was delicious. We had garlic bread with cheese for starters, I had the cobb salad with chicken for mains and my husband had the mixed grill. I had the sundae glory knickerbocker for desert (best knickerbocker I've ever had) and my husband had chocolate brownie with ice cream for desert. We had soft drinks and mine was free refills. I had diet coke. The manager (man with besrd) was very friendly and professional. Made us feel very welcome. Our server was also lovely. The premises are lovely and clean. The music isn't loud which makes for a great dining experience for us. I believe they do have live music on Fridays now if you like that. We had our wedding reception here 10 years ago on the upstairs balcony which was lovely. We have enjoyed coming here for about 13 years a few times a year when we can afford to go out for meals.

The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy when we visited yet we were ignored for nearly ten minutes waiting to be seated. Just a nod of acknowledgment or a ‘be with you soon’ from the staff who passed us several times would’ve sufficed. After standing there for ages we were finally seated and the person who served us was pleasant enough. Door was pretty grim, flavourless and not great value. I had hunter’s chicken made from rubbery, anaemic preformed chicken breast. It was such a gross texture and would likely bounce if dropped on the floor.
