Popped in here on our way to our holiday accommodation and felt immediately at home. Luke the landlord is very welcoming and attentive to all his customers. Food was great so we booked for Sunday lunch. It was really busy, lovely atmosphere. Sunday lunch was fab with 3 sizes to choose from which is good for those who don’t have a big appetite and those who do! Before leaving to come home from our holiday we went again for lunch and had the tempura veg for starter followed by the Yorkie Wrap which was chicken and stuffing served in a large homemade Yorkshire pudding with roasted new potatoes, peas and gravy. Absolutely gorgeous, piping hot dinner. I can also recommend the sticky toffee pudding. I wish it was our local here in Bristol! Recommend for atmosphere, welcome, food and price. Thank you Luke, we’ll definitely be returning.

Went for Sunday roast and we weren’t disappointed. Food was excellent and huge portions. Staff were friendly. Can’t recommend enough. Best Sunday lunch in a pub I have ever experienced

The pub itself is cosy and has a great buzzing vibe, they have music playing quietly, fairy lights and just felt nice to be in. Service was really fast but food also tasted so fresh and hot. All staff were very polite and great at their job. Amazing roast dinner with all the trimmings you can imagine, cooked really well and yummy gravy. Also had dessert which was great. Lovely play area for kids too! One small thing I would feedback is that the beef was a little tough, but I think myself and my partner potentially had the burnt bit and the end and it wouldn't stop us going back again! The best place to be for a family Sunday roast :) another thing I noticed was that even though the building is dated the toilets were absolutely sparkling clean.

We have just come home from the most pleasant experience. A table was booked for 6 adults and 8 children. Upon arrival Luke seated us in the tented dining area and explained that the kids were welcome to use the space as they wish, which instantly made us feel relaxed. The orders were taken and food came out extremely swiftly, serving the kids meals first which is a rare custom nowadays. The food was of excellent quality. We didn’t feel as though anything was too much trouble and will be recommending this place to family & friends. Thank you Luke & team.

Myself and my family stayed at the Finlake resort for the week. We weren’t keen on the small portions/highly priced food, so decided to try the Claycutters. It was a beautiful sunny evening and the food was amazing. The staff were attentive and friendly upon arrival, and when ordering food. The manager constantly ensured all visitors were attended too and had food/drinks etc and the atmosphere was lovely. A truly lovely evening had by all.

We were on our family holiday to Devon when we visited The Claycutters Arms. From the moment we walked in the service was amazing, very attentive and accommodating. We started outside as our children wanted to play in the play park they have (which they rated highly) but as the weather started getting chillier we asked if we could go inside when our meals were ready, which there were no quarms about with the staff that were serving us. Our food came out and was amazing 👏 good portion sizing and great taste. My husband has dietary requirements and they accommodated that well and even checked when the meal came out that it was all OK for him. Great value for money aswell. We loved it so much that our children begged us to return before we finished our holiday. Which we did and yet again the food and service was spot on! Very consistent with their food quality and staff friendliness. I would 100% recommend go anyone in that area. Thank you 😊

Staying at Finlake lodges and booked here just because it seemed to be the closest place. We had a call a few hours before the booking to ask if we could arrive 15 minutes later due to a big party booking and they didn’t want us to have to wait for food. This impressed us before we even got there as they could have just let us turn up and have a long wait. As it happened the food came very quickly, the staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. We were served by Luke, Jaz and India who were all fantastic. The restaurant is clearly very well run. The food was also really lovely, good portion sizes and value for money. Highly recommend.

A wonderfully welcoming pub, with good customer service at the heart of what they do. The food was delicious (we had a burger, a Yorkshire pudding wrap & a kids meal, plus dessert) and the pub had a great vibe to it. Paul (the manager), the young lad waiting our table & all the team were really polite & attentive whilst retaining a classic village pub feel. Highly recommended

Had an absolutely delightful meal here at the weekend. The menu selections were impeccable and I struggled to know what to try first… will definitely be returning to try more. I went for the sweet and sour chicken balls which was an excellent choice. My partner had the chicken and beef burger which he said was also incredible. The service from Luke and his team was friendly and attentive which made our night out with friends super relaxing and nothing was too much trouble considering we also had a newborn baby with us. Will definitely be back to try more at this cosy pub

Always a good Sunday lunch bet, tasty and hot. This time really poor, belly pork been in oven too long, tough and and stringy, barely warm and no taste to anything whatsoever, carrots hard, cauliflower cheese an unpleasant colour that put you off even eating it, toasties barely roasted, Yorkie seemed like it was made of hard paper, gravy was brown but tasted of water, sorry guys, not sure what went wrong 😔

Went to have dinner last evening 11/04/2024 , drinks arrived promptly as did our meal. My partner chose the Coq au vin, the broccoli was undercooked, the mashed potato was bland and in with the chicken was gristle. The broccoli and the gristle were discarded and he ate the rest of the food. My choice was pie of the day, beef and onion. To start, my plate was cold and would like to know what beef was used because the texture was unusual. We had finished our meal and the waitress took our plates away and asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu ,we said no and she immediately said, rather abruptly, do you want your bill. We felt we were pressured to leave.

We visited yesterday for a family 40th birthday, a group of 10. In the booking we had requested a highchair, there was no highchair when seated so we asked the guy who seated us for a highchair for the baby, he never came back and neither did a highchair. The girl came to take a drinks order and we again asked she came back and said there was none left. Can he sit on a booster, not really he’s 1, so she came back with a highchair with the straps missing, so we had to make do, the baby kept slipping down but hey ho he had a highchair. We ordered and had a long wait for food, we didn’t complain as it was busy, food eventually came and was good. We then ordered deserts, all the deserts came bar 1, we mentioned this after about 5 minutes when they came to see if everything was ok. The final desert came out and pretty much straight away the bill. Once the bill was paid within a minute we was told we needed to leave as there were people waiting for our table, bearing in mind the missing desert had only just arrived and the long wait we had for food in first place. Up to this point we had enjoyed our evening but it seemed a bit like we have your money now f**k off approach. Very disappointed and will not return or recommend, like we would have done. We never leave without leaving a tip but on this occasion after that, we did! It ruined what was a nice evening. Now we are aware of the timings for seats but surely you factor in the delays for food and the delay because of missing deserts.

A very disappointing experience at this establishment on Sunday 3rd March 2024. My husband and I came in on Tuesday 27th February 2024 in the afternoon for a drink and to have a look around and to enquire about booking for Sunday lunch on Sunday 3rd March 2024 for our 7th Wedding Anniversary. We were very impressed by the attentive service we had on Tuesday evening, just for drinks (we stayed for 2!) and liked the lay out of the dining area/restaurant so we decided to book a table for Sunday 3rd March 2024 to celebrate our 7th Wedding Anniversary. We were given a choice of 3 different tables to choose from and we chose the small one in the corner by the fireplace. We both spent the next few days looking forward to Sunday... When we arrived at approximately 2.50pm for our 3pm booking and gave our name I said we'd booked the table in the corner and was told "that one's not available anymore, we've had to make some changes and move you". "You will be sitting over there". The table that was pointed out was the one by the toilet and neither of us wanted to sit by the toilet so politely asked if we could sit somewhere else. This was the first disappointment given that we had been able to "choose" our table on the Tuesday. We were led to our table and a drinks order taken. We also placed our food order. The drinks arrived promptly and the food arrived very soon after, within less than 5 minutes. Upon starting mine I noticed that some of it was 'hot' but not piping hot like I would normally expect and some of it was just warm. At no point did anyone come to check if everything was alright so I had to get someone's attention and explain that my dinner wasn't hot enough. I was asked if I would like it re-heated. I asked what this meant and if it would go into the microwave because this would ruin it and was told by the waitress that she would go and check. Another waiting staff member returned, who said they would 'blast it in the oven'. I had actually expected a fresh one to be produced but nonetheless felt this preferable to microwaving. My dinner was taken away and returned promptly within about 1 minute but yet again it was warm in parts and hottish in others. No one came back to check if it was o.k My husband eats very quickly and doesn't mind not having his food piping hot like me but unfortunately I'm not that way. I like hot food to be piping hot because I take quite a long time to eat mine. I ate some of it and my husband finished off the rest. We had a look at the dessert menu but I was so disappointed by the whole experience that I chose not to have anything. This is not like me as I always have a pudding after my main course given the opportunity. I went to the counter to pay and feel that I was greeted rather bluntly. I said I wanted to pay the bill and was presented with my receipt. I asked if I was going to be asked "Was everything alright?". and was told "Yes I am going to ask you but I'm just giving you your bill to check that everything is correct on it". I was then asked me if everything had been alright and I relayed the above. I was asked what time we had booked in to eat and I said 3pm. I was told that 3pm is staff change over time which may have affected the service we received. I don't really feel that this is an acceptable explanation or justification because surely the customer service at 3pm should be exactly the same at 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, etc. The lady that I was dealing with said that she could take off the drinks. Upon reflection and having had time to think about it and sleep on it I don't feel that this was a fair resolution for the disappointment experienced. I have tried to bring this to their attention to see if they wanted to make contact with me but a week on have had no response so I have left this review which is something that I have never done before. .

They had a lady who was training but took our drinks and food order efficient. The pub was quite busy, but food arrived swiftly and piping hot. There were a lot of choices on the menu and also a very good specials board. Portions were large. We had a very chilled and enjoyable evening. Special thanks to Georgia and Katie for looking after us, plus the landlord and Olive, the pub dog. Good luck, Georgia, for your new child

Just enjoyed excellent, reasonably priced, Sunday roast. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. I am a vegetarian and have a serious mushroom allergy. I phoned the day before to alert them to this. I was amazed to find that, because the vegetarian options both contained mushrooms, they had sourced a pea protein based roast ‘chicken’ especially for me. What service! The manager even came to our table with the packaging, so that I could check the ingredients for myself. Fully reassured, I was able to relax and enjoy my meal..There was a good variety of fresh vegetables and they were not overcooked. I would definitely go again and highly recommend this restaurant, especially for those with special dietary requirements.

We hadn’t booked but luckily they fitted us in for a late Sunday lunch. They are open until 7pm we found out so will remember this as so many other pubs stop at 2/3pm. Good choice of food as apart from roast they do other meals, scampi etc. We all had the roast which was delicious. The roast comes in 3 sizes and was very reasonable…I had the small which was plenty and came with a huge Yorkshire pudding! The service was excellent and we didn’t wait long for the food to arrive. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning!

The food, the beer and the service was flawless from start to finish. So much so we booked for the Sunday lunch the following day. Again the whole experience was great. The Sunday roast was lovely. I had beef my wife had chicken and my son had chicken nuggets. Next time we’re down that way we will 100% go back again.!! Thanks to all the staff

We popped in tonight after seeing it advertised at Finlake Holiday Park. What a lovely warm welcoming pub with lovely staff and great food. Can't complain about any of it! Plus we took the dog. Definitely worth a visit.

The place wasn’t as clean as one would hope to find it, and the food on both visits was utterly awful: tasteless, overpriced, very clearly microwaved, haphazard, thoughtless etc etc. A bacon bap or sausage roll from Spar is significantly more tasty, filling and worthwhile.

This is a regular for us, however I’m becoming increasingly fed up with the managers attitude. Once again we were over charged recently, asked the female manager to resolve….. no apology, just a feeling we were bothering her. This manager really does need to sort her customer service out please.

We love this place so much that we booked a table for 3 consecutive nights during our recent stay at Cofton holiday cottages. We enjoyed every night, the food is great, the beer selection is good and the wine list is also good. Probably my favourite pub
