We happened to stop by for Sunday lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the food quality. The Sunday roast was fantastic, with perfectly cooked meat, crispy roast potatoes, and well-prepared vegetables. The portion size was just right—better than the overindulgence you often find at a carvery. The staff were attentive and made our visit enjoyable. However, the restaurant could use a deep clean. The seats and carpet were quite soiled, which took away from an otherwise great experience. With a bit more attention to cleanliness, this place could be even better.

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.
