The Burrator Inn in West Devon

A disappointing experience all round having stayed for 2 nights and eaten at the Inn for both. It's clearly a locals stop off and can get somewhat noisy if 'the lads' are playing pool in the bar area. The service and food were both a bit lack lustre and not particularly enjoyable. OK we were not expecting gastro-pub or fine dining, but the standard and quality of food was below par. Our room was at the rear of the hotel and overly hot due to a piping-hot towel rail; the window was small and did not help to vent out the hot air, plus we were near the kitchen ventilation/ducting area which was on until late. The bed was fine and all was clean, so no complaints there....but it certainly didn't feel like the pre-booking photos of the place. In essence, this is OK for a stop-over if you've plans in the area but I wouldn't recommend eating here. The best bit is being close to Burrator reservoir and mile or so down the road from the Inn.

Very expensive average food.Ordered chicken schnitzel which wasn't a schnitzel.Just a slab of badly breaded chicken breast,very soggy and greasy. Was brought a meal and waiting for cutlery for a while,place wasn't even that busy. First and last visit here.

Great place for lunch at a weekend. Friendly staff and great service. Will be visiting again for sure

Burrator Inn Lunch deal £11 Last time I visited the Burrator Inn I was staggered by the cost: a glass of wine for the price of a bottle in some other pubs! So when a friend told me of their lunch deal - lunch and a drink for eleven quid we thought we'd give it a go. Tuesday lunchtime was in no way runaway busy but the way we were greeted was quite offhand, especially when we asked for the lunch special. It was not offered even though it was a 'special'. After 25 mins were were told they hadn't put the order through. We weren't offered anything in recompense until I went up to the bar and gently ask for some more drinks whole we were waiting. Again, was disappointed that I had to ask, especially as they sent the junior waitress out to tell us. I always feel its something the leadership team should own, as they have the authority to make a goodwill gesture  50 minutes after our order, the food finally arrived. My portion of sausage and mash was tiny. I know small plates are fashionable, but this was risible. Two small sausages and a couple of spoons of mash. For 11 quid, it's simply not worth it. My wife had the fish finger sandwich, again not the most massive portion. Only after we left did she tell me it was lukewarm at best. So it must have been my meal that wasn't ordered and hers had been left to cool. Then they tried to charge me for the 'complimentary drinks'.

Only a drinks stop, staff were friendly, food looked good.

I stayed at the Burrator Inn from 1 March for about 5 nights. The Staff were very friendly and relaxed. It was very homely. My Room was cosy. Even though it faced the road, it was still peaceful and quiet at that time of year. I was supplied with the the usual kettle and Teas. But I particularly enjoyed the Cafeteria with decaffeinated fresh Coffee from South America? Full English cooked Breakfast was very filling and I requested any additional cereal. I will definitely be coming back here to stay. Though I heard it can get busy in the Summer! It was ideal for me at that beginning of March. Situated near the Burrator Reservoir on the edge of Dartmoor and very convenient for visiting a friend in the quaint village of Yelverton nearby.

Quickly seated and then hurried onto ordering drinks before we had even had a chance to look through the menu. After asking 3 times to be given time to choose in 5 minutes we made our choice and within 2 mins someone taking our food order. Usually wouldn't mind the speed but the server had no idea of the menu items and when asked about the £11 lunch menu was told it wasn't on. I questioned the manager (person behind bar) she was very reserved and almost startled to be asked. I suggested it was on the website and she begrudgingly acknowledged it and allowed us to order. What came out was the worst food item I have ever ordered. Not much more than a kids menu. Ham egg and chips.......a handful of chips, a couple of thinly sliced bits of ham and an egg. Very poor. Staff rude and abrupt, even telling one of our well behaved children that their knives and fork were not correctly laid ince finished the meal. Terrible in all ways. Never to return.

Do not go, shocking tasteless food. In 50 plus years of dining, across the world, I have never had such tasteless food . Don’t waste your money. Go elsewhere.

Wonderful little pub that does absolutely fantastic, home-cooked food. We've journeyed out a few times from Southway now, the trip takes an easy 15 mins, so easy reach from city, but you feel like you are deep into the countryside. Service and beer choice excellent too. A little gem.

Is The Burrator Inn's Club Sandwich the best sandwich that I've yet put in my face? Yes. It is. And I will gladly go back for more. Also welcoming to dogs and little people with friendly, warm staff. Love it.

AMAZING CRUMBLE!!! We (a group of 10) visited the Burrator Inn for some crumble. We phoned up to book a table and the staff were more than happy to accommodate us- despite only going for crumble, on a Sunday. Their service was fast and their bar team we’re very friendly. Their crumble of the day was absolutely delicious! And they pour a great pint of Guinness. I highly recommend visiting their pub. Its perfectly located, near Burrator Reservoir, which is a great place for a stroll to build up your appetite for crumble!! 10/10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Visited here on a wet weekday and they had stopped serving the main menu so opted for the bar snack menu. The open steak sandwiches and gammon were ok but nothing special. Plenty of tables available.

Paid £28 for a fish finger sandwich (piece of battered fish inbetween what looked like hovis bread) and a steak sandwich (piece of toast with some of yesterday's left over roast beef) and a couple of drinks. Never felt more ripped off!

Stopped by for a tea after visiting the reservoir. Food looked good and there was a good range of drinks.

Although site says food 12-5pm (lunch), this was not the case as advised kitchen closed 2:30 and we arrived a little before as advised 5pm on site. Disappointed.

We had just been on a lovely long walk around Burrator Reservoir and booked a table for 6 at the Burrator Inn for a nice relaxing family meal. Not long after we were seated, a waitress (older than the rest) snatched a wine glass from the table and said 'you wont be needing this!'...did we look bedraggled or something...not good enough for a glass of wine? As it was I settled for a cocktail which was nice. The meals took a good while to arrive (the place was reasonably quiet) and the portions very small considering the price, the puddings also took an age to arrive and were also very small, thank goodness we didnt order the childrens portion for the kids. The staff could do with cracking a smile now and again, the older waitress...RUDE. The male that greeted us and took payments was courteous and friendly, the females should lead by his example. If you are going to the Burrator Inn for a hearty meal and are hungry after a good long walk, I would not recommend the Burrator Inn. The food tasted nice, just need bigger portions.

Not usually one to leave a poor review of a business but truly mean for this to be useful feedback. The restaurant itself is lovely - log burners, cosy atmosphere and some nice touches like the personalised reservation signs. The food was also fresh and tasty, no issues and arrived quickly. The missing piece is the front of house, staff are friendly but lack direction. It all seemed a bit disorganised and frantic when the restaurant wasn’t even at half capacity. Our food arrived before our drinks, these things happen, and we were told they would be on the house - the drinks were wrong when they finally arrived and were still on the bill when I settled up, not fussed about freebies but the inconsistent communication is frustrating. With the right direction this place could be a lovely dinner spot, just needs to get the details right on the customer facing side, unfortunately we were left underwhelmed for the price point.

Didn't stay here but have enjoyed some evenings there great little place. Will go back again.

Had the best Sunday lunch here , beef was tender the whole meal lovely, nice atmosphere, and staff were lovely , plenty off parking too x

Not terrible but definitely over priced in my opinion, had a Korean chicken burger Asian slaw and fries and my wife had ham egg and chips and was a lighter lunch option. Chicken was Luke warm and soggy and wet as slaw was in the burger and would have been better on the side, definitely half a breast of chicken as was really small, Fries lovely and hot and crispy but not many at all and came with a mayo which had definitely been sat in a ramekin for a while as seemed to off colour on the surface, whole plate just looked chucked together not very attractive and for over £15 I personally thought was poor, wife’s lunch was ok apart from hardly any fries. Would we go again… possibly ..although table next to us where asking for refund on fish finger sandwiches so probably would rush back, also older lady FOH was very pushy. Honestly probably won’t rush back

Used to come here regularly. So decided to revisit. Shown to table in the restaurant and waited .............. After 20 mins my friend went to the bar to order drinks but was told no it's table service . So he came back and we waited another 5 minutes to order and another 5 minutes to get the drinks. We ordered food which also took ages to arrive. Food overall was good ,but we both thought not value for money. Got the bill to find that Neck Oil beer was £6.10 a pint 😮 We did mention to the person behind the bar about the slow service. It was because there was only one person in the kitchen.. So that's my problem is it ? Overall got the impression that we were a bit of an inconvenience . Won't be going back.

Really disappointing meal. Fish and chips, smallest fish, greasy, overcooked and very little fish inside the batter, cold peas. This is the first review I have ever left because I feel so strongly about the poor quality of food. I will never return and not recommend the burrator inn to anyone, sorry. There is no need for poor quality leaving customers feeling ripped off and disappointed.

Slightly pricey but beautiful food and location. The staff are always polite and helpful here meaning I have come back multiple times.

Had an unplanned lunch time birthday meal, excellent service and food choice

Had a nice lunch from the smaller plate menu. The fishfinger sandwich was very tasty and had home made tartare sauce.

Lovely food was like crufts inside three other couples all had dogs one was howling all the time shan't be going back

Haven't been for a while and have read the patchy reviews. The pub and restaurant area were reasonably busy for a Monday evening. Our meals (the trout and the coconut curry) were great and the service was also good. We will be back!

We drove here in our campervan to have a meal and an evening of music because they have a great carparking area We were told that overnight stays were not welcome, Shame really because campervanners can bring great business, for evenings and then a good breakfast, we've found some lovely other places that welcome our business nearby.

Nice clean pub with good value and good quality food. I'll be going back.

The Burrator Inn is located in Yelverton on the edge of Dartmoor. All welcome including dogs. Parking available on left of venue. Came on Bonneville Bobber so parked on tarmac area to avoid loose chippings (laid on rest of car park area), damaging bike. Had light lunch consisting of a mix of starters (4 for £24) which was delicious. Chose Pork Belly Bites (presented in balsamic vinegar glaze dressing, finely chopped spring onions, chillies & sprinkled with sesame seeds), dish of apple sauce, houmous (with pomegranate & pumpkin seeds) with toasted warm flat breads, chicken goujons & mayo, roast potatoes. All presented beautifully. To accompany lunch had pint of lemonade & lime. Highly recommend. Staff very pleasant & welcoming.

We stayed here for my husband’s birthday we were a bit perturbed when we arrived as there was a sign outside that said music all night on Saturdays & we are a family with one child. We booked a table for 7.30 but were told we had to be there at 6.30, okay fair enough as the pub doesn’t have anywhere else around it within walking distance to eat we had to go along with it. When we arrived the waitress showed us to our table which wasn’t the table we were shown when we checked into the hotel, she told us that there were no tables available especially the one we were shown previously & she was exceptionally rude in telling us this! During our time at the restaurant nobody sat at that table!! We ordered drinks which she got wrong then as it was a special occasion we ordered the £30 steak, it was a frying steak & tiny portion-see picture. You can see that the tomato (one tomato, may I add) is half the size of the steak & the tomato wasn’t even a beef tomato! So OVER PRICED, the steak was chewy. My fish and chips arrived COLD! Then we ordered a cheese board that we wanted to take to our room we were EVENTUALLY told again in an aggressive manner ‘we don’t have any cheese’. We decided to make a move to our room but first paid for our meal the waiter asked if everything was okay to which I replied’No!’ I told him about Fish and Chips then showed him the picture of the steak & said ‘would you pay £30 for that’ to which he just grunted. I asked him if he could do anything to compensate for this to which he replied’No!’ Then I asked to see the manager to which he also replied ‘No!’ We went to our room with music blaring until early hours! If you are considering staying here or eating then I would think again!

Popped in here for a quick meal. It was cold inside apart from a lovely roaring fire. Unfortunately we couldn't get anywhere near the fire as two people were sprawled over the chair and the sofa, respectively. We asked if we could sit anywhere nearer the fire to eat but were ignored, despite there being a table next to the fire in the dining room. The huge dining area was completely empty. The bar lady wasn't very welcoming or helpful. Won't be going back.

Lots of potential. Speed of food wasn’t bad and the roast itself was ok, but at £19 you expect a bit more. If you have to pay extra for cauliflower cheese it better be cheesy! No veg with the child’s food. The children’s ice cream scoops were criminal and we mentioned this twice to different staff. the lad was licking the bowl as it was so miserly but no offer of another scoop or an apology! As they were so casual about it we didn’t leave a tip and we always tip! Like i said, it’s a nice country pub and has potential but just a few improvements and a bit of staff training needed. Will come back for a drink again for sure. Has to ask for the bill twice.

Great hotel, really good food and everyone was extremely friendly

We had a roast here last sunday and it was absolutely delicious, the meat was tender and delicious, large portions of veg! Will definitely be coming back soon, best roast around

Fabulous sunday lunch, great menu options, wonderful attentive staff. Looking forward to a return visit!

Really nice location with an ideal distance from the moors but yet easy to get to. Plenty of seating and not an eyebrow lifted when dining in hiking boots. Really cosy restaurant with a nice mellow atmosphere. In regard to the meals, I would suggests you avoid wasting your money on the sausage and mash. I was assured by our waiter that the dish would be sufficient however the dish I recieved was far from it. 3 Cumberland Sausages sat on top of mash. That was it. For the price of £14.50. Somewhat insulting. Other than that we had a lovely evening. I have attached a photo of my sausage and mash dish.

Great pub with great food. Nice menu with classics like burgers and pies-all delicious. I had crab and king prawn linguini with chillies-superb. We will definitely be back to try other very interesting dishes. Friendly and efficient staff. Outside clean and good sitting area, large carpark. Pool table.

Double check before driving all the way out that the menu that states Monday to Friday 12-5 for food is actually going to serve food as advertised......

Arrived after a long walk and given room key which didn’t work. Changed key. Got into room to find it is ok but peeling paint, mildew in bathroom, blinds don’t work but nothing too awful. Go down to dinner where nobody seems to have a handle on what is going on. Get to our table and decide what we want. Waitress takes our order but told first choice sold out. Quickly go to second choice but this also not available. Ask for a couple of minutes to consider third choice. Make a decision despite not really wanting anything else only to be told that this isn’t available either. Make hurried fourth choice but then realise I really don’t want this so cancelled order. Told we must order quickly if we want anything as kitchen closing. Made distressed choice. Chicken and Ham Hock pie doesn’t really taste of anything. Nobody asks how our meals are. Eighty one quid for meal that is mediocre at best. Retire to bar where there is much shouting and swearing; much, it turns out, from people who work there. The jazz, Motown and soul music promised on the posters turns out to be nothing of the sort so give up and go to bed. Woken in the early hours by somebody swearing and shouting as they stumble to the staff accommodation above. Not a good night’s sleep. In fairness breakfast is good and service better but can’t wait to leave. Nobody asks how our stay was as we leave. Was never really sure who was supposedly in charge but it was mostly a bit shambolic. Had been here many times previously, albeit some time ago, but not somewhere you could recommend sadly. Go somewhere else

Sadly, we’ve just left this pub after a lovely walk to sheepstor. The kids were hungry so we thought we’d stop by for a pint and bowl of chips to complete a lovely afternoon ! We paid £4 for literally a handful of chips, it was honestly disgusting! We bought 3 portions which together would not have even made up a full portion for £12, seriously ! Normally I would have complained and asked for a refund, but as we had Spanish friends with us, I was highly embarrassed and didn’t want to make a scene ! The kids were hungry too, but of course still hungry afterwards ! The chap behind the bar was very nice and atmosphere nice, but that has put us off going back, an absolute rip off ! I wish I had taken photos for this review, but again didn’t want to embarrass our Spanish friends !

Under the previous licencee's, Phil & Sarah, the Burrator was a friendly, sociable pub, welcoming locals & visitors alike. Since it's refurbishment it's changed & although decoratively, it's much improved, it no longer has a welcoming feeling. At best I find most of the staff are generally indifferent to the needs of customers. Such a pity, as potentially, the Burrator could be a very good pub.

Family meal excellent.service great meal

We visited for a nice beer after our hike. Staff were friendly and quick service. Timothy Taylor’s on tap was fresh and delicious. The food, contrary to some recent reviews, was tasty, with some surprising, innovative flavours, not too expensive, and all hot and well made. The atmosphere was great, chilled music, seems to be a nice locals pub, and dog friendly. Nice to play a game of pool too! Would definitely recommend, and suggest not believing all of the recent negative reviews. We will certainly visit again.

The way I see it this place is going to have to choose between being a decent gastro-pub serving well cooked & priced, innovative food with an excellent wine list in attractive surroundings or a place where the local youths can gather & shout & swear round the dart board. It's a shame if they choose the latter but it's their call

Appalling attitude We booked a Christmas meal for 12 and were requested to arrive at 11 30 to have drinks when we paid the deposit. On arrival the Inn was shut and we were told we had to wait outside in the rain until 12. When we expressed our surprise and said we weren't happy the response from Staff was Whatever! We left and won't be back.

We booked a Christmas meal for 12. Website and all signage said the inn was open from 11am. We arrived at 11:30. Door was locked and man inside tapped his watch and would not let us in. Staff eventually opened the door and told us shortly they would not open until 12 and we would have to wait outside in the rain until then. Not a very warm Christmas greeting. We were appalled at the attitude and left.

Very friendly good place to visit

They were very busy but the food when it arrived was good.

Like many Pubs they are having problems recruiting staff in this case in their kitchen. I ordered French Onion soup which was cold on arrival and had to be reheated. It tasted more like gravy with onions. Other members of our group were also presented with cold food which had to be reheated. On the positive side it was acknowledged by the member of staff behind the bar and the cost of our drinks were removed from our bill.

We stayed here for three nights to go walking in the moors and to visit family nearby. The service was excellent and so was the food. Would certainly consider staying here again.

Don’t know what’s happened to this place but it’s gone downhill used to love it here was told food wasn’t being severed until 6 was made to stand waiting at the bar with two children for 40 minutes while food was coming out for other customers with cocky rude bar staff never will I come here again

Loved the food, staff were friendly. Top experience

We went here following the refurbishment in 2022 and the food was amazing. Revisited today and felt so strongly I’m typing this in the car home. Food was below average for the price. We paid £59 for two roasts, a child’s meal and drinks. The beef was really tough and there wasn’t a lot of it. Cabbage was nice, small amount of potatoes and random kale the plate? Everything was quite cold. We were told an hour into our booking that we had 30 minutes remaining and basically to pack up and leave - no time for a desert. The blonde manager was rather rude about it. When complained at the bar that the meat was really tough her response was ‘oh’ with no follow up. I think this place has been taken over since our last visit and we won’t be returning. What a shame.

Ideally situated for easy access. Pleasant service. Dog friendly.

Came in for a Sunday roast with some friends - table of 7. We ordered as soon as the waitress came to take our order, ate at a normal speed but after clearing our plates for mains (we had no starters) we were told they needed the table back for the next seating and needed to clear the table. We’d been an hour in total at this point. The kids wanted to order dessert but this wasn’t even offered and instead they brought the bill. The food was average really and unfortunately feeling rushed out the door when we hadn’t even really finished wasn’t an experience to make up for it. £130 isn’t ground breaking for a group of 7 but it’s enough to expect to finish your meal 🤣

Popped in for lunch after a visit to the Abbey for their lunch deal. The food really was excellent. The portion sizes were about a standard portion, meaning if you're worried about calories, this isn't bigger than you would have at home. Perfect for me. Best Welsh Rarebit I have ever tasted. I wanted every dish at the table and all looked pleased with their choices. Very attentive service, thankyou for a lovely meal and lovely atmosphere.

Delicious food. Friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff. No photos of the delicious food, we were too busy enjoying it

As far as roasts go this was very average, but I do like to be transparent! Positives: lovely gravy and Yorkshire puddings. I personally really enjoyed the red cabbage too. The pub is gorgeous inside since it’s renovation. Their day to day menu has some great options! Friendly staff. Good presentation. Negatives: very fatty short-rib beef, there wasn’t much meat to it at all. Roast potatoes weren’t crispy either which is a must for a roast! We all found kale to be an interesting choice for a roast and it was just a limp and tasteless… surely some roast parsnips or carrots would be a better accompaniment? Pigs in blankets were £5 and you only got 4 of them - quite steep considering they were small! We all agreed that the desserts were very mediocre at best. The crumble was incredibly dry and just tasted like porridge to be honest, it didn’t taste like a crumble at all - wouldn’t recommend! Worth noting that the service was incredibly slow and no one came to ask if everything was okay with our meal. Seems to be poor communication amongst the staff as we had 3 people come over to ask for our drinks order when we first arrived and same again for desserts (after waiting about 15 mins). We enjoyed our roast but there’s definitely some areas for improvement! Won’t be rushing back.

Proper steak and ale pie with shortcrust pastry. Real ales on sale Good friendly service. Reasonable prices.

Popped in at about 16.45 for a bite to eat only to be told they don't do food until 18.00

Lovely meal shared with our friends. Excellent food and friendly service and of course it is dog friendly

Service and food were awful.... ran out of mostly everything by 4:30 Sunday so we had to have 3 burgers and a child's burger.... all were swimming in grease !!! That plus 4 drinks 3 cokes and a fruit shoot we were charged £80 plus pound, absolutely unreal !! Champagne surrounding lemonade service... and awful food. Would not recommend

Some of the food came cold had to be sent back. Not all the cutlery was clean. Some of the portions were small so expensive for what we got. I will not visit again.

Used to be a great pub, now the service and the food is terrible. I Loved it when this place was first renovated, with its new menu, not sure what’s happened lately, but I wouldn’t go back.

Visited for a roast last Sunday and my friend didn't talk to me for the whole meal. He was so impressed he kept pulling this weird face as if he was in heaven. Please see photo. I guess he enjoyed it.

Popped in for Sunday lunch, surprised just how big it was. Delicious roast, portion size was plenty. Lovely atmosphere. Staff were a credit to management.

Car park a decent size and Internet was fast. Do not eat here.

We didn’t stay in the hotel just had a evening meal with drinks on. Tuesday evening. Had a lovely evening meal with visitors from Australia. We had local sausages, pies and Chicken main courses and everything was cooked to perfection. We would have given five stars but for the wait for our food. Whilst we realise it was all cooked to order, we still felt that we waited a long time for it.

Great location, in the past had okay experiences but this week hasn't been great. The waiter bought a coffee over and said 'mocha' and I said do you mean cappuccino to which he said 'I don't know' and walked off. When my sister cappuccino and my mocha had arrived well it was so bad I left it, it was all watery with no milk at all, I used to have this here all the time when the lady (who wasn't there today) makes them it's nice. We also ordered two chips, one came immediately and the other we had to chase after 10-15 mins. Not great service and terrible drinks, the chips were chips but a tiny portion.

Definitely worth visiting. Friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful pub but unfortunately the food was not as nice . Left almost a full meal and won't be eating there again. It really was not very nice at all and a lot of wasted money.

Excellent base for exploring Dartmoor with good beer and food.

Beware, website says kitchen open till 8.45pm on a Sunday. In fact, it shuts at 5pm. However, nearby Rock Inn in Yelverton does a bloody smashing Sunday roast til8pm

Friendly and efficient service, very tasty food, and a comfortable pub with lots of indoor and outdoor space. Dogs are welcome too! Nice spot for lunch after a walk round the reservoir.

Fantastic night. Good location, great outdoor area and Molly the entertainment was A1

Great base for Dartmoor. Lovely pub and rooms, a lovely welcome and the food was absolutely delicious! ❤️

Food was expensive and tasted horrible very dry chicken and the expensive fish pie was the size of a tennis ball, awful food super expensive food and drinks, do not come to this pub it's 16-25 a meal and wetherspoons is far better quality

Good place to spend time with friends and quality meal along with drinks.

Had an impromptu late dinner. The food was excellent. As was the service.

We are here visiting family and had never been before. The food is on another level!! Cooked beautifully, so tasty, and served by lovely staff. Unfortunately we were too busy enjoying our meal to take photos but we will be back! Thankyou for taking such good care of us

After a long (ish) walk around Burrator Reservoir- a well earned pint and decent food. Added bonus of being dog friendly. Highly recommend 👍🏻

Superbe terrasse pour prendre un petit morceau après un tour du Burrator Reservoir. Les propositions pour le lunch étaient bonnes, mais un peu chères pour ce que c’était.

Went recently for lunch,overpriced, terrible food,poor service, won't be going again pity because we are locals.

A lovely pub on the edge of Dartmoor. We booked via OpenTable and then arrived half an hour early. Our table was already prepared. The menu is great. Plenty of variety. We ordered the 4 small plates for £22 deal and a main course each. As soon as the small plates arrived we realised we'd over ordered. The restaurant was very happy to box up our main courses so we could get them to go. The service was great, the place was staffed by friendly polite and very attentive young people. They were a credit to the place. Highly recommend.

Good layout and welcoming, but expensive for drinks.

Could be great- had some good meals a little overpriced but the service has been shockingly poor- losing money by not offering more drinks/puddings etc

Popped in on the off chance . Very helpful friendly staff food was good just what we wanted !!

As we are local my wife and I have had many great meals here in the past but tonight I ordered the fish pie (£19). What I was served with was essentially the size and quality of a single portion Tesco ready meal scooped into a metal tin rather than the plastic one it came in. Garnished with a dessert spoonful of peas and 3 fragments of overcooked cabbage leaf. The staff were not interested merely saying there was nothing they could do regarding reducing the price. We won't be going back.

Good food. Choice of two good dishes for vegetarians. Range of good beers and good puddings too.

Good food, good drinks, excellent after-hike location.

5oz “sirloin” looked more like a piece of smoked mackerel with an inhumane amount of salt and crushed peppercorns, handful of frozen chips and 3 undressed baby gem lettuce leaves thrown on. No garlic butter. £16. Didn’t have the nerve to say how bad it was, think the landlord was our waiter so he was clearly happy to serve it. My partners lettuce leaves were dressed with mayo and crispy onions which tasted strange and synthetic like they’d been cooked in rancid oil or been in a plastic container for a long time. Yet another nice pub in a good location let down by poor quality ingredients, cooked without skill, at rip off prices. Explains why it was empty!

Really lovely restaurant quite busy for a week night. Food lovely. Staff friendly and busy.

Have been here plenty of times in the past and always Was, good wholesome food at a reasonable price. Since our last visit they have been taken over, sorry to say I won't be going back and think the new menu and food is pretty poor. We didn't get greeted very well, they got the order wrong, and we eventually got our food which was OK but not a patch on the old one. Enough to say we won't go back and wouldn't recommend. A sham as the atmosphere and place is nice.

A fabulous dinner and then a fabulous walk around the reservoir

A great Inn offering a good selection of inexpensive food and great selection of drinks.

What can I say, excellent! Really handsome and nice guy working there, I think his name was Isaac! Somebody give that man a promotion😙

I recently visited here and had the Sunday roast. The food was not served hot but only luke warm.

2 * only for the nice seating area outside. Both had homemade pies. The pastry inside wasn't baked enough. After we told the person that cleared the table she only said she'd tell the chef. No other reaction as she returned a second time like sorry which we expected or for example a free coffee. At the bar for my pint of shandy they filled 3/4 lemonade and charged the full price for a beer £ 5,70. Can't recommend it.

Pleasant evening with a friend, they have outside heaters so you can enjoy the outdoors even if it's a little cooler. Pleasant service and enjoyed our cheesy chips
