The Burley Inn in New Forest

I have recently returned from a few days at this fabulous hotel . Lucy and her staff are so friendly they put you at ease as soon as you walk in the door. Food was excellent during our staff breakfast was so much choice to choose from . So much to do in the village of burley certainly recommend this hotel

This was a lovely place to stop for a family meal. Excellent food and customer service. Thank you to all the staff for a warm welcome.

Needing a break, wanted to be in The New Forest and not wanting to travel too far, we decided on The Burley Inn. We couldn’t have wished for more. We were greeted by a friendly member of staff, who showed us to our room and upon entering it, it was oh, so, warm. The room was very clean and with the fresh bedding, the bath towels were huge! (Just as well for chubbo, here )First dinner of our 3 night stay, the spare ribs were excellent. Just a glaze on top, not smothered with sauce. Tasty.Dessert was the cherry cheesecake..... jeez, that was delish!Anyone wanting to gain weight, have the four layer chocolate cake with ice cream! I did... Awesome!Breakfast was spot on, tooTwo keys were given. One for the room and the other for the front door, just in case we were late back.Plenty of free, onsite parking and free wi-fiThe Burley Inn is a great place to stay and we intend to stay there again, in the near future.Thanks to you all.... Keep up the good work.

We visited today for lunch and were seated straight away with no issues and pleasant staff. Food was amazing and rather generous portions which neither of us finished. Will definitely eat here again when we are in the area again

We stayed at the Burley Inn for the weekend. On arrival we were met by a very friendly and helpful member of staff who showed us to our room. When we went down for dinner we were shown to our table and a drinks order was taken whilst we perused the menu, The choice of food was a little limited but we knew that would be the case before we arrived. The food was delivered promptly and was a very tasty and generous portion. The staff worked so hard and were on the go all evening.

Burley is beautiful and what better way to visit a lovely village than stay in a brilliant establishment.The team are friendly and attentive. The pub and rooms were clean and up to a great standard.Breakfast was Devine and the coffee was magnificent.Nothing else to say apart from this is 10000% worth the money!

Lovely place lovely staff always get good service always go there when visiting Burley dog friendly as well what more could you want

dined twice and had very good meals reasonably priced,good choice and very friendly staff would reccommend

Waited for over half an hour for a cup of tea, asked twice and still no cup of tea, the rest of my party had their drinks. In the end I asked for a refund very bad service and the staff weren't very friendly either.

Not a bad place to eat but I have been to better. This had a limited menu and was average food expected from a pub.

Slow service throughout our visit for lunch. We didn't expect quick service but we waited 20 mins before staff took our order and the food took a long time to arrive. Food was fine when it arrived, typical quality for a pub meal. Not a terrible meal but let down by wait time for service. Wouldn't visit again.

Uninspiring menu, but we were hopeful that it might still be good home cooked 'pub grub '. Sadly not. No better than a wetherspoons. Ploughmans with brie described as 'having a wedge of soft oozing brie' but was a sad looking plate of iceberg lettuce, a quartered tomato, a pickled onion cut in half, few slices of cucumber and a random couple of slices of radish and celery, a stone cold 'bake at home' style baguette and a solid wedge of the coldest & most flavourless piece of brie I've ever had. Gave up after a few slices of the rubbery wedge. Definitely not as described. Ham, egg & chips should be a fairly straight forward option. Chips & eggs were fine, but were served on top of 3 slivers of wafer thin packet ham. Other meals were of a similar standard. Happy to pay for decent quality, but sadly this was not.

stopped off for a quick bite, friendly staff and good variety of sandwiches. Fresh produce and good selection of beer to choose from will be back!!

Pros: * decent food. * excellent beer. * absolutely top notch cheesecake. * surprisingly fast service. Cons: * menu could have been a little more adventurous for our tastes. A solid 4 1/2.

When we arrived we asked for seating for 8 which we understood was a lot, young girl said no problem you can sit through there move chairs tables as you need, great we thought.So we moved 2 chairs to make 2 tables instead of 3., Making 2 tables of 4.I went to the bar which was absolutely crammed full of dirty glasses and asked do I order at the bar ? No it is table service someone will be over, so we sat and we waited and waited, the tables were very sticky, the wooden railing was thick with dust, but we were really hungry so looked past it.Then two other tables 8 people like us came in and sat down, the waitress went straight up with menus and took orders ! When she how to create a finished eyes excuse me but we were still 10 minutes before that day but we haven't even been seen and you've taken their orders, she came over and said sorry I didn't realise that you haven't been served she then asked us to move the table and chairs back and we explained that the young lady said we could sit two tables of 4 rather than 3 tables but she said no, so we moved it back, she said I will be back with the menus, we waited and waited she didn't return.At this point we decided to leave on the way out I found her and said don't worry about the menus we are fed up with waiting and are leaving, she apologized you was first greeted by a new member of staff that's why you were missed.That doesn't explain her not returning with the menu !On the way out I remarked that it was disgusting, this young girl heard me and shouted at me rude ! I was like excuse me, you are rude she said ! I said I wasn't talking about you personally I was talking about the service that would received been overlooked the sticky tables the pile-up glasses on the bar the whole atmosphere, she replied well that is us because we're the waitresses and I think you're extremely rude ! I said I wasn't rude I was being honest , I left to the young girl in a raised voice rude old woman !!! I don't consider my self old, but to this very young girl I probably was, I ran a hotel as a manager for 17 years so I know exactly what Iam talking about.Those glasses on the bar should have been trayed and moved out of sight, never move the blame onto another member of staff , when guests are already upset do not say to are going to do something and not follow through.Blaming it on a new member of staff, just shows a lack of training.After being shut for so long surly the need for income and profit is much needed and you let at least £80 at least walk out the door probably more like £160.00 .I will say it again a disgusting cleanliness of and service.

We had a very nice young lady meet and greet us on our arrival to the burley inn. We had booked earlier in the day and our tables were nicely reserved for us. We are a party of 7 with 2 young children and an elderly disabled mother. All the staff were very friendly during our stay and the food was by far the best we have eaten whilst on our weeks holiday. We had a great selection of food and everyone enjoyed their meals.The vegan pie was extremely tasty and you don’t have to be a vegan to enjoy this nice food. The deserts were also a nice size and the Dorset apple cake was served with coffee.Very nice, and welldone to the Burley inn team !

Just arrived. Phoned on day to book. No problems here. Table outside clean. Drinks came on time. No tab outside and had to pay for everything when you ordered. Felt like they did not trust us but it was the same for all who sat outside. Food was good. The desserts were excellent. I had the crumble and the custard was not too sweet. Decent size cakes. Helped with nice weather.

Best pub we visited during our week staying in the New Forest last week.We parked in the village car park and had a wander until we arrived here. We were a bit early for lunch but said we'd go back and put an extra hour on the car park ticket when we were told we were welcome to park in their car park as we were having food.We sat outside people watching!Ordered food and drinks. Quick, friendly service and the best Ploughman's lunch we'd had for ages. Certainly not overpriced based on other pubs we ate in during our week away.Would highly recommend.

Me and my partner came to this pub for a bite to eat today and couldn’t fault the place. The food was so lovely and well priced. We were served by a lovely lady called Lucy who was nothing but welcoming and very helpful

Loved our stay here although we had been to Burley many times for some reason we’d not been to the Burley Inn before. The staff we were chatting to were lovely so friendly and welcoming our room was clean and had all you would expect. Breakfast was perfect especially as they had Marmite served with the jams for our toast always a bonus for me My only regret was we didn’t have our evening meal here as we went over the road to the Queens Head to eat which was a mistake.Overall a well run delightful Inn with staff the management should be proud of. Highly recommended and we will be returning

Excellent service, very friendly staff. Had lunch here and it was very nice. We sat outside but inside the pub was lovely and old. Very clean and had lots of character.

Food was OK but just cost more than it was worth really. Service was average but they were friendly. Maybe a 3.5, but I would expect a far higher quality of food for the prices. Not an unpleasant experience.

Quickly seated at a table and drinks order taken .20 minutes later the drinks arrived and we asked the waitress to take our order. She said she'd send someone over. After a further 30 minutes and 5 tables that arrived after us being asked for their food order before us, we finally managed to gain a waiter's attention. The order was placed. An hour later a ploughman's, a toasted sandwich , chips and a side order of mushrooms arrived. However on complaining at the delay both in ordering and recieving the meal and commenting that other tables who ordered later received their food before us, the waitress just said "oh sorry" . No real apology or explanation. As we were sitting outdoors it wasn't that warm, so by the time we had finished we were very cold. It then took 3 requests to different staff members before the bill arrived and that was only after asking again as we waited in the toilets queue. So if you are happy to wait for 2 hours for a snack,the food when it finally arrives is well prepared and tasty. Sadly we won't be back as customer service was so poor. Such a shame.

The food here is nice, lots of choices and caters to GF well. We have been back a few times. Great Ploughman's!

We visited yesterday initially for a drink, the young lad that served us was friendly and gave me a good recommendation in Tarka as I usually drink craft beers. Tarka is much lighter in flavour but not a bad choice. We returned for dinner, not a problem that we hadn't booked and we were served by a girl with long dark hair, she was extremely friendly, very chatty and outgoing. Social distancing was grand. I had a lovely gammon (ham really) salad and added cheese which wasn't a problem , hubby had ham, egg and chips. If you appreciate pub grub this is the place for you. Reasonable price. If you want fancy gastropub food this isn't the place for you. We enjoyed our visit and found the staff very friendly and nice. Would go again.

Great quality food and good selection, they change the menu as well so it’s updated. Lovely gardens for eating/drinking out. Inside could do with a spruce up but it’s a nice pub with a good atmosphere and the staff are very friendly.

Having pre-booked our evening visit to the restaurant (even though there was no real need) on Sunday 23.08.20, we were greeted by a young lady (I didn’t think to get her name at the time) who made us feel welcome the moment my family and I walked through the door. Not only was she pleasant throughout our stay, she actually gave my 16-year-old son some excellent advice regarding his imminent start at college the following week (she herself is currently on a ‘gap’ year from University). The whole evening became an enjoyable experience, as the food (succulent chicken breast for me, proper ‘home-made’ lasagne for my wife and a tasty bowl of Tikka Masala, rice and other accompaniments for my son) was excellent and well priced and the overall atmosphere was relaxing too. We all agreed we would gladly visit the Burley Inn again, should we return to the village.

Despite having had a decent pub lunch here a couple of years ago, some recent negative reviews deterred us from visiting for dinner on our current stay in the village. However, given the unusual current climate and everywhere being booked-up, we thought we’d give it a try and first of all were simply grateful they could offer us a table.On arrival, standard Covid measures appeared to be in place and the pub is nicely decorated in seemingly original old-style inn decor. We were shown to our table and promptly seen by the waitress who helpfully advised that while they didn’t have a children’s menu, our child could either order something simple that the chef could make or we could order a smaller portion of certain dishes. Drinks and food came in good time and our meals were perfectly fine for pub standard. Service was suitably attentive, especially given the additional measures they like all restaurants/pubs are needing work within.Can’t say we encountered any of the same sort of issues of the previous reviewers so they may have had a bad day/one-off but I’d urge you to give them a go. We should be doing all we can to support the trade in the current climate and give some slack to where they are doing their best to keep everyone safe by enforcing safety measures and working with reduced capacity/staffing/busier periods.

We ate at the restaurant for 2 nights in a row as the food and hospitality were so great. Fantastic customer service and a safe set up during the current times. Thanks for great meals.

We have been coming to the New Forest for years and always come to the Burley Inn for food and we have never had a problem. Until now. We went on Monday (03/08/20) to be met by a very unpleasant (older) lady. If you’ve ever been to the Burley Inn, then you will know who I am referring too. Face like thunder. She wouldn’t let our bubble sit together so we had to be spread apart onto 4 different tables. God help you if you moved a chair! No social distancing by the staff. When we sat down, we were told someone would be out to take our order, we waited over an hour to finally get served and get our food. Which might I add was nothing to be desired. Do not get the ploughman’s. By the time it took us to get our food a couple who came in after us had eaten theirs and gone! Another family came in, a family of 5, who tried to sit at a table of 4 and went to move a chair. Well, the older lady came out all guns blazing, do not move the chair! She was so rude the family nearly left, until they let them have the chair. I wouldn’t mind, but not once did I see a single member of staff clean the table and chairs, not once!!! And as you know, we where there for a while WAITING! Forgot the mention, while we were waiting my mum went in to ask what was taking so long, and was met by an extremely rude, obnoxious girl (long brown hair) who also told my mum we should have booked a table if we wanted to be together. But the thing is, we did ring and was told we couldn’t book because we had a dog! And might I add, the girl also stroked my dog before turning around to see if anyone was watching her and said “I shouldn’t be doing this, I’ll get told off.” Unfortunately we will never go to Burley Inn again, which is a shame because like I said we have been going for years. I don’t know what has changed but it is for the worse. Unpleasant staff and bland food. I would highly recommend that they send their staff on a training course for customer service because my God they certainly need it! Shocking.

First time I’ve visited the burley inn on a social visit with my husband first of all can I just say £18 for two double brandy’s with coke outrageous that’s enough for anyone not to visit again and also all the food is frozen then microwave served so dissatisfied aand disappointing really overall a nice pub good staff Trying to learn the owners need to step up. No toilet roll in the ladies and all young staff that don’t have a clue bless them.

Popped in for lunch with dogs the staff very friendly and loved our dogs, the food we had was good the cheesecake was delicious, wine nice too, would go again if in area,

We stayed in the Burley Inn and the food was so good we did not bother to look anywhere else. It was very well priced and lots of choice. The staff are amazing, they could not do enough for us.

We visited by chance on Saturday evening and food was great, I had the lamb and it was cooked to perfection! The young lady with dark hair could do with some customer service lessons but food would bring us back!

This is a interesting venue, in the heart of the village of Burley, but something is missing? Maybe I caught them on a down day, but the staff seemed slightly detached and uninterested, not rude or ignorant, just slightly caught up in their own thoughts.Plenty of seating both inside and out, lots of pictures on the walls of local and historical scenes. Wood burning stoves, free WiFi, free car park, decent (if over priced) menu, prices for drinks are north of average, but this is The New Forest after all.This review was on a visit on a dull, wet and windy day in January. I expect that a visit in high summer, with the sun shining, would have a totally different feel?

We were staying at the burley manor and walked up to have a relaxing drink , the young lady was very welcoming and we enjoyed our drinks and left , we decided to return to eat here so walked back and sat by the fire the service is fab young gentleman friendly and helpful we choose steak kidney pudding this was a offer deal which I hadn't noticed but the gentleman informed me I also could get pudding and coffee which was a fab deal ... Well my dinner came and looked and tasted amazing with a separate dish of fresh veg , I felt completely stuffed ! But of course we had pudding lemon tart and chocolate orange which again was lovely followed by coffee , fab food fab service , thank you guys for making us welcome x

Excellent food large portions value for money. Helpful staff. Quick service. Would definitely eat here again.

Stayed for 3 nights in June 2019. Very welcoming experience. Room clean and comfortable and meals varied and good quality.

What a lovely visit we had. We popped in for dinner on a Monday night while staying at nearby Burley Manor. The food was delicious and the pie & pudding deal was amazing value... and we were all offered complimentary coffee and mince pies too! The pub was decorated in fabulously over-the-top Christmas style (never a bad thing in my opinion) and the service from the lovely bar staff couldn’t have been more friendly. We will definitely be back.

Pub was quite busy, but the service was ok. Reasonably priced, adequate food. Nothing fancy, it did the job.

Very friendly welcome. Good choice of menu at very reasonable prices and sufficient quantity . Very quick service Can fully recommend the Red Thai curry.

We booked a table for 5 people and 4 dogs. A good menu choice at competitive prices. They went out of their way to check ingredients for allergies.

The lamb shank and brie and cougette bake where both lovely.

Was very busy and a slow service. Speckled Hen was a good pint and beef and peppercorn and lasagne were excellent. So were the desserts. Chips were undercooked though. Barmaid was excellent and servers ergo I’d. A nice lunch and few hours in pub wereexcellent

Standard of food was ok for the price, not too expensive , and quite tasty. Clean and tidy pub , sullen staff...could do with smiling a bit more. One waitress was cheerful and helpful. The beer wasn’t the best. ( speckled hen usually a good pint) would probably go elsewhere next time.

Nice Inn with good seating outside, although our dog was also welcomed inside the Inn. Service was friendly, food was nice, standard ‘pub grub’, wouldn’t envisage visiting for a special occasion.

This place looked fabulous in the evening when we drove through Burley and we said we had to come back to this place. Unfortunately, the food was awful. Not even an average pub food. Fish and chips is a trap as it's called Haddock fillet and you get a fillet from Iceland. Everything looked as from defrosted packets. Very disappointing for this superb location they have. The Burley Inn should step up their food game. On the positive note the staff was really friendly. The pub we went to in the middle of the forest locally had waay much better food. Would avoid next time.

A couple of us dropped in for lunch. the food was fine as was the service. The beer wasn't anything special.

We had four different dishes between us and everyone was delicious There were plenty of vegetables with each meal and we did not have to wait to long There was a lot of very tasting desserts on the menu but the substantial main meal meant none of us were able to indulge

Went to The Burley Inn with my family. Very lovely staff who provided a great service. Food was served in a good time frame. All of our food was very tasty. Great portion sizes- really fills you up. Offered alternatives for dietary requirements. Reasonably priced.

Als je niet duur en heerlijk wilt eten is dit een aanrader. Wij bestelden gegaarde lamsschouder en die was fantastisch.

We stayed in Burley and ate here twice. I was pleased to see two really good vegan options on the menu - a pie and a curry. Both were delicious, though a bit light on protein. My husband enjoyed his more conventional dishes and our dog was welcomed and looked-after. The wine list was decent and the wines we had were very good.

My friend and I visit Burley often and always go to the Burley Inn for lunch, excellent food, beautifully prepared. Excellent staff. helpful beyond words. My friend has intolerance and had the Gluten free cake with cream, seventh heaven. Always a pleasure to eat here.

Early evening on a Saturday.Dod enjoy the ploughmans and the price was fair,just seemed a little bit basic and old fashioned although the portion was generous,I would go back as service excellent and staff friendly

Stopped here for a drink. Really wasn’t impressed with this place in the short time we were there.

I visited the Burley Inn on Monday 24 June 2019 at 2.30pm, a weekday during term time. I was with one other person. This was my first visit.

This pub is lovely , they do a lovely lunch and dinner and a fab cream tea , staff are very friendly and even to we waited a while for our dinner sat eve it did not matter it was lovely when it did arrive. I would recommend this pub to everybody .

Just returned from a very enjoyable stay at The Burley Inn.

Lucy, Jack and Clayton made us feel very welcome and we were delighted that their menu caters so well for Gluten Free and Vegetarians. We recommend the Thai Red Curry and the Veg Pie with Gluten Free Pastry. It's annoying being diagnosed as Gluten Intolerant as you feel like a nuisance in some restaurants but not here, their menu offers a wide selection of options events Sticky Toffee Pudding was GF recommend this pub and would visit again.

We passed this pub previously and looked really busy which to me is always potentially a good sign.

Whilst staying in the delightful village of Burley we ventured to the Inn twice, first on arrival and then as our last supper.

On approaching the village and entering the packed pub car park, we were encouraged but after our disappointing experience have to conclude they were not customers of pub!

My girlfriend and i came here during a walking holiday - the staff were super friendly and kind!!! They let us keep our bags in the inn whilst we hiked, despite us not staying there, and were so attentive to us when we were having our meal.

Excellent steak and lasagna. Interesting dining guests with scabby chickens roaming around, made a change from ponies!

Nothing was fresh in my view and came straight from the freezer. just not good enough in my opinion when you eating pub grub in an average place but paying a premium price. Service was ok. Small car park - difficult to find a space.

Had lunch here a couple of weeks ago and what a very pleasant experience it was too. The waiting staff were very efficient, interacted extremely well with us and were attentive. We didn't have to wait long for our meals to arrive, it was all well presented, the portions were a good size and we all agreed it tasted delicious. Thank you kitchen staff, it is not easy to produce good plates of food under pressure in a hot kitchen.

We stayed at the Burley Inn before for 2 nights before in February. The accommodation and pub itself is lovely but once again consistently let down by the poor quality food as we experienced before at breakfast 3 months ago. This time me and my partner ordered 2 cream teas as we were staying somewhere else and just popped in for tea. The tea was nice but simply not hot enough. The scones were not as good as last time. Something cheap probably bought from a cash and carry and were not heated. Thoroughly disappointed. I did mention this when I went to pay, no refund or partial refund offered or even another cream tea. Will not ever eat here ever again.

We visited this pub twice on successive days, once for an evening meal and once lunchtime. Very good food and attentive staff. If passing by lunchtime I would thoroughly recommend their brie bagette. Dog friendly and we were able to reserve a table for our evening meal.

Had a lovely early evening meal and my bread and butter pudding was the best I'd ever had! Would definitely recomend.

Came for a family day out on good Friday, and ordered lunch when it came we were impressed with the size. But slowly, slowly eating our way through we found a hair in our food and complete put us of , they offered to change it, and we felt happy. So we carried on eating low and behold we find another hair, without being rude it looked like public hair, so we were completely put off and definitely wouldn’t eat here again!!!

We only popped into this impressive looking pub for a drink late afternoon and the service was good, however, the pub was virtually empty (in fact only one other customer plus dog seen) so unable to get a feel of what it is really like. Unable to comment on accommodation or food.

Booked this place never eaten here before. Not disappointed,very busy so always book. Had a selection of mains everyone very happy with there choice.good portions and quick service. I would suggest it's not a drinking pub, unless you sit outside, all the tables were set for eating. But well worth a visit if you want decent food in Burley

very nice place food great good portions staff were very accomodating service very good when we went it was on a friday lunch not over packed just right lots of room to sit

Nice enough stop off for a drink after walking all day. The conservatory area and bar are pleasant enough. Menu looked ok although we went elsewhere to eat. Didn't appreciate the little bit of attitude when ordering but suspect that was a blip.

Really glad we stumbled across this establishment. All the staff were really friendly, I have to mention the young man from Australia he had a lovely personality and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was lovely and the atmosphere was very friendly. We will be back. Thank you.

Same staff attitude as the Queens Head - rude - tables in the dog area full of people without dogs. Told that no dogs are allowed on the carpet area. Asked if we could sit on a table by the entrance and the lady made it quite clear that we weren't welcome and so we left. Dread to think what this place is like on a nice sunny day!

Been twice recently, both times very good, and each time had winter lunchtime set menu of 2 courses for £13.75.

Traditional pub menu - nicely cooked food and friendly helpful staff. Simple set-up - order at the bar - but pleasant ambience. Good value.

We visited The Burley Inn for dinner. I would recommend booking as there were many tables reserved on the Saturday evening we visited. Staff were kind and attentive and the food well priced. As well as the large menu there were a number of appetizing specials on offer too.

Five of us met here for dinner before the Burley Players’ pantomime. We were given three menus which was a bit confusing: their Snacks and Pub Classics Menu, Set Menu of 2/3 courses and Main Menu as well as their Specials Board! I chose Breaded Plaice with Chips. Others had Breaded Haddock Fillets, Salmon en Croute and Mushroom, Peppered Pork and Squash and Spinach Pie. All were good, as was the service. I’ll happily return.

Had a great meal here whilst working locally. We were welcomed and the food was plentiful and of good quality. I would recommend this and a welcoming venue with good food.

We read the reviews before going here and that’s what encouraged us. We were walking nearby and were hungry when we got there. We were only allowed to sit in the hardwood floor area with the dog but this was fine.

Visited on Friday 28th December for a post Christmas lunch with family. Pre-booked. Been to the Burley Inn quite a few timed before and go there as it has a real "new forest" feel to it. As usual there was a good choice on the menu - in fact it was really hard to chose, and one of the beers was a Christmas one which was nice. Enjoyed a very nice lunch soaking in the atmosphere. Look forward to next time.

Room was very very comfortable with a soft bed. The dog was very welcome too. Stayed for dinner on new years eve also. The chicken curry balti was lovely, and the chicken tarragon was delicious too. Breakfast was great, yogurt, fruit, cereal, juices, tea, coffee, and full English of eggs, sausage, bacon, mushroom and tomato. What really made our break great was Marina and Lucy, and the lad behind the bar who served our dinner (didn't get his name)

Called in for lunch after a stroll in the forest. Really friendly staff and great range of choice on the menu. Was a bit of a long wait between ordering and eating - a bit too long really but food was hot and fresh when it arrived. Even the small appetite portions are generous. No complaints on the meal.

Ordered some food and a drink and was told at least 35/40 mins wait and it is after all New Year's Eve. Some people on the next table ordered after us. Next table food arrived before ours. My wife then went and spoke to a chap at the till who said it was all in hand and the food would be with us very shortly sometimes the hot good is quicker than the cold food to arrive.

We stayed at the onsite hotel and ate in the Pub 3 times during our visit. Every meal was excellent and was reasonably priced. There was a good selection of real ales all well kept. The staff were so friendly and helpful and we would like to thank Lucy for making our stay really special.

There is an extensive menu of 1980s staples and given that a curry couldn’t be delivered in a small portion it must all be pre-prepared, portioned and frozen. This being the case doesn’t explain why everything seemed to take so long and it wasn’t very busy. Slightly gloomy interior and despite a wood burning stove slightly chilly. It was a generally average experience and the whole party agreed we wouldn’t be rushing back.

Called in for lunch and really couldn't fault it my wife had the hunters chicken and really enjoyed it one of the best she has ever had, I had and enjoyed the beefburger, our sweets were equally as good especially the clematine and raspberry tart. The restaurant is very relaxing with attentive staff.

Dropped in with friends and attendant dog for a couple of drinks after an hour’s walk. Enjoyed a couple of Flak’s Double Drop Real Ale, some Aspell Cider and a splendid G & T in a large glass. We had a warm welcome from bar staff in what is clearly a busy pub. A plate of gratis mince pies was also appreciated. We must go back to eat.

Friendly staff and decent enough food for a modest price. Must come back to try the cake and coffee...

We had a meal here as the hotel we were staying did not do evening meals. It is a lovely pub, with friendly staff and a nice ambiance. However, it was let down by the food. My partner enjoyed his pie and chips meal, but I opted for a curry. The curry had a strange texture and bland taste. I did mention it to the waitress, who offered me an alternative, which was nice, but I was just really put off. I would like to suggest that if you are going to serve freezer to table food to consider using a better quality of food. I would eat here again, but I would avoid freezer to table options.

Seems friendly but didn't stay long. Dog friendly place and serve vegetarian meals as part of the menu

We called on spec for an evening meal. A wide menu for all tastes and it was hard to choose! Eventually plumped for faggots and beef stroganoff! Plentiful and tasty, as were the puddings. Bakewell Sponge and Chocolate Torte. Friendly staff as well. Happy for dogs in certain areas. Would definitely return.

Nice food here and good service , we were a party of 40 on a coach and they were very accommodating. . I had mushroom en croute which was lush . . Washed down with a Pink Gin!

Friendly and attentive staff. Good selection of food, all well prepared. Nice selection of “specials”. However, nothing special!

Basic white sandwich toasted with a bit of side salad for £5.70 and a Guinness and a speckled hen came to nearly £10. As the only pub open in the vicinity seems they are capitalising on the tourist trade. Thankfully the staff were friendly or else it would have been very disappointing.

We visited the Burley Inn for dinner one evening with our dog. The dog area was relatively small and already had a couple of dogs in. We tucked ours away but he was disturbed everytime anyone went to the next table, so it didn't make for a relaxing meal.

Atmosfera tipica della campagna inglese. Servizio molto accogliente e professionale. Cibo ottimo e di ottima qualità. Birra lager eccellente (Birra Moretti alla spina!).

Great place to eat. Food well priced and good quality. Staff friendly. Car park ok but a bit restricted although there is public car park across the road. Made a pleasant and cheaper change from our hotel.
