The Coppice at Lanner in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

On looking at my previous reviews I see it is a decade since my last visit and obviously it has changed hands since then. The place is still shabby and lacking in atmosphere and there is a damp smell lingering throughout the building. Somehow the building seems wrong but I can't really explain that one away and it is not the fault of the management. Whichever way you look at it the place seems unfriendly and not helped by the various people I spoke to either. Not rude exactly but dismissive and disinterested. We had the carvery but I have to say it didn't look much like the photos on their social media page. The cauliflower cheese was nice but everything else seemed a bit tasteless. The meat was edible but I can't say that about the roast potatoes which didn't taste of anything and the bigger ones were hard in the middle so I left them. My husband also left half of his cider as he said it tasted 'off'. Interestingly my review of their carvery all those years ago also criticised the roast potatoes which were not even brown then, surely it is not that hard to roast potatoes? I appreciate different chefs were involved so maybe it is the oven. The place was not very busy which says a lot considering all the local carveries are often fully booked but maybe it was because we went quite late. There are cheaper and better carveries nearby so would I go back, possibly in another ten years time but not any time soon.

What a amazing place with amazing staff regardless of any negative reviews. Shame they keep the negative reviews and don't post the good ones that I know have been wrote tonight. Went here for my daughters 18th tonight. 20 of us. All food was amazing all at the same time and all with smiles on there faces. Nothing was too much trouble and I love coming to this place every time everything is how it is stated. Always hot always fresh and always enjoyable and affordable. Thank u so much

Firstly, I am local….. Secondly, I speak the truth… Thirdly, I am glad that the prices remain reasonable to the working class family man…… Although the decor might be a little bit tiring, the hospitality compensates…… On the last at least…. This place does amazing food…. Fantastic variety and the special board fluctuates…. I just don’t think that anybody that is down earth Can fully understand what it must be like to run a business. It’s like the same goes spread all your cards out and choose wisely. I have eaten all over the world up and down throughout the UK…. And I don’t remotely care what negativity comments I read on here about the coppice…. I salute every individual under the Employment of the establishment. Therefore, I totally recommend anyone to try this place. If you are too posh to wash and this place is not for you.. And if you do not suffer by piles Then clearly, you are the perfect backside …. And as Dell boy once said…. Bonjour …..

Prior to visiting this pub I read the reviews but felt I would go with a open mind. Well what can I say but the management have obviously taken on board any previous comments. The staff were friendly, well presented and attentive. The pub does look tired but clean . Food was good value for money, home cooked and well presented. A traditional family pub which was busy with lots of children in the play area . I'm sure this pubs like many are struggling to make the books balanced and can't afford expensive soft furnishings and decor . All I can say is give this traditional family pub a try . Good value ,good food and if you want more unfortunately you have to pay more . So long as they serve good food ,are friendly and are clean I will keep going !

Went here for a carvery was bitterly disappointed from start to finish we got seated by a very young waitress right next to a saucepan on the floor because a leak had just appeared even though the weather has been glorious for 2 days. Then we waited for our order to be taken which was fine then when the kids drinks arrived they was served in 1/2 pint glasses with beer logos on them which is a big no no as it’s false advertising and kids should have drinks in beer glasses, Then we was just about to go up for the carvery when I looked into the kitchen and saw the chef cough into her hands then continued to cook without any washing of hands The carvery was ok ish but when we saw one of the waitresses stick her hands into the roast potatoes and start eating it that was too much so we spoke to the owner who agreed it wasn’t on what we had seen however he should be on the floor overseeing the staff sorry but we won’t return it need a serious overhaul decor wise and some serious staff training to come even close to what it should be

Avoid at all costs. The pub is rundown on the inside and looks more like a bingo hall. It’s very dirty. The staff behind the bar don’t seem to care, quite rude and not very welcoming. The cider I ordered tasted like the pipes had not been cleaned, it was very musty. The food was barely edible. The burger was dry and the chips still tastes frozen. The onion rings tasted like they had been drowned in oil. Not what we had expected. Definitely not one to return to.

We wanted to try the carvery here so booked a table. Restaurant is very odd when you walk into the bar area as you can’t see where the restaurant part is. There was also a stale smell. When we found the restaurant we were seated by a very young waitress. We sat and waited for someone to come and take our drinks order but it didn’t happen even though they looked at us several times just sat at our table. Another couple came in and were seated and immediately had their drinks and food order taken and then told to go up to the carvery when they were ready. We still hadn’t even been asked about a drink yet! We had waited 20 minutes at our table from being seated with absolutely no acknowledgement from any staff so we got up and walked back to our car. I feel sure they probably didn’t even realise we had gone seeing as they paid no attention to the fact we were waiting for so long. Terrible lack of service and no care for its patrons. Absolutely won’t go back and definately do not recommend.

Decided to give the Coppice ago as heard great reviews regards there carvery wow wow this is the best carvery we have had and tried so many around which was ok , It had such a good selection of fresh pipping hot vegetables and beautiful crispy roast potatoes & parsnips and the cauliflower cheese was to dye for lots of cheese in it ,the carvery on display looked so appetising hey guys just need to get better photos of your carvery as it’s 100% better looking than your photos you have up on Facebook , great prices and reasonable priced drinks and friendly staff definitely be recommending you, and can’t wait to be back 😊

Really good carvery at reasonable prices. The 'standard' size carvery was more than enough, so goodness knows why anyone would want to tackle the 'extra large' plate version! Apple crumble portions were massive as well. Service was a little slow at times but very friendly and polite. I think they just need a couple more staff. Excellent meal though.

Booked Sunday carvery for four adults in this dog friendly pub. Made very welcome and given menu on arrival. We all opted for the carvery with a choice of three meats. All meats were cooked to perfection, and a good portion served. The vegetable selection were excellent and cooked yo perfection. All the food was piping hot and we were all satisfied. Great choice of desserts, presented by pleasant and efficient staff. A lovely treat on our doorstep and really appreciated.

Was amazing, food was perfect, decent portions an was reasonably priced all tastes am looked great, service was lovely, and the kids had a blast on the little park an bouncy castle, highly recommend! We got the bus to an from easy, we will definitely be going back, had a lovely afternoon :)

What a fantastic find by my wife, down in Cornwall on holiday, fancied lunch out and found this little gem. Fantastic value and great service with a smile. Our children had a great time at this family pub.

We used to come here regularly 30 years ago, in fact we would bring holidaymakers here it was that good. Having been away from the area for years, we were interested to see how the place had fared. When we entered, there were kids running around the entrance, and we noted a disco being set up in the main bar by a man of around 80, and a young bloke engrossed on his phone. The lady behind the bar, who made it clear she didn't work there, assured us it was nice and quiet in the lounge. We were asked if we would be eating, but the menu looked uninspiring, and the whole place didn't look that clean, so we declined, ordering drinks only. My ale had a slight vinegary taste, indicating the pipes hadn't been cleaned, but my wife's peach cider was excellent. Then the disco started up, at blistering volume, music from the 1980's which was not to our taste, but it was bearable, although when I ordered my next beer I had to do so by sign language, as speaking was out of the question. Another couple came into the lounge and ordered a bowl of chips, otherwise the kids were still running around, a few people in the pool room, with a boy rolling on the floor, but nobody in the bar as it was too painful. Then the music changed to electronic techno for some inexplicable reason, the secret of a disco is to read the room and play to the tastes of the audience, which admittedly was difficult as there wasn't one. I would have mentioned this to the bar person and elderly 'DJ' but conversation was impossible, so we left.

Fantastic food, massive portions and great service. Really lovely little pub with a great beer garden. We will be back!

We visited this great little pub at the end of March and had a great night there ! The meals were cooked well , tasty and great value . The staff are fab and everyone is made to feel welcome. We will be back!! Thank you 🙂

Three of us and our dog visited The Coppice today for the Sunday Carvery. They were so busy it was a lovely atmosphere. Everyone was enjoying the carvery, filling their plates and it looked so good. When it was our turn to go up we had a generous amount of meat and a lovely yorkshire pud and stuffing then helped ourselves to veg. It was SUPERB. So well cooked, the meat was first class. Hot plates, hot food. Music at the right volume so we weren't shouting over each other. Really good. The staff were great. Can't wait to go back. They EVEN gave us some meat for our dog on a little plate. We've never been offered that before at a pub roast and we've had a lot over the years so thank you Coppice, we will be back :)

Stopped in for Sunday Carvery. The food was great, staff were awesome and looked after us well. Very busy as well, which is always a good sign.

Went to watch Lanner Football Club in Saturday 24th September with my wife and son who has autism. After the match all the players went back to the pub. I think it was the landlady I spoke to as I asked if they had wifi so I could download the photos of the match on to my laptop from my camera. Though very busy she even showed me when the plug sockets were. I had a couple of lager shandy’s whilst the wife had non alcoholic beer and my son who is 18 had a cider. A lovely pub that is very clean and friendly

Visited the Coppice twice whilst visiting the area. nice friendly staff and locals good food and plenty of it good choice of beer etc and great value for money dog friendly too

Booked for a large table for Sunday carvery for the first time since the new owners have been in. What a turnaround! The carvery has to be one of the best I’ve had along a long time. Staff were friendly and the bouncy castle on the weekends is perfect for the children after lunch . Desserts are really nice too only wish there were more desserts on the menu to try. Hoping to book back in for our large family regularly.

I had the stake, the steak was u see cooked I asked for a medium rare and received a blue maybe a rare at best, the onion rings were stone cold aswel as the peas, the only thing these “chefs” got right was the chips,sauce...

First visit to this pub and will not be back. Bar staff are fantastic but managers need a course in customer service and manners as they had none at all. They have lost local customers who would of supported them in the winter months shame...

I asked at the Coppice about the possibility of using the venue for meetings and or corporate events. There are two bars available one large, one smaller and another large room with projector screen - ideal for demonstrations etc. There is food available and if the venue is booked in advance a buffet style lunch could be provided. Lovely friendly atmosphere and ideal meeting place for businesses.

Went for a carvery on Easter Sunday , the food was terrible ,all the vegetables was cold and the meat had more fat then meat ,l would not repeat not recommend this place to eatto anyone the staff had a negative attitude when l mentioned it to them

We booked a table for 14 for Mother’s Day the staff very attentive given the place being fully booked , food spot on and kids enjoyed the use of board games after dinner ( while dad watched the rugby)

I have been in to the Coppice on a number of occasions with my friend and always get a warm welcome. Nothing is too much trouble and the food is excellent. Peter, the landlord is very attentive and has always aims to please. Really nice atmosphere and always something going on, like the live music which makes for a vibrant atmosphere. Well worth a visit if you want good food and cheerful friendly staff and great hospitality.

Lunch cooked to order. Only thing that put us off was the barman/Waiter who touched my wife’s shoulder on 3 occasions. Great pity as we were hoping to make it our local lunch stop.

Very warm and nicely set out with reserved table with names on them.They were understaffed but this didn’t hinder the enjoyment of a lovely carvery .The manager and chef worked as a well oiled team .Would definitely recommend a visit

What a load of rubbish The owners have no idea how to run an establishment Really sketchy and disturbing Food is warm and they was only chips Can someone please make this pub good again

Out for lunch with my daughters and mum. So please we stopped at the Coppice! Hot cup of tea. The food was delicious and ample size portions for lunch. Staff very friendly and attentive, nothing to much trouble and took the time to check everything was fine. Peter made you feel welcome and the good looking chef even came out to see us. Very pleasant experience. Thank you.

We popped into The Coppice for drinks with friends after an evening out. We were able to enjoy some locals singing when we arrived, which was lovely. Staff were very friendly and the young girl at the bar even came to our table to offer to get more drinks for us, which she put on a tab, allowing us to continue chatting.

This is a nice pub/restaurant with good parking facilities and is easy to find. The menu was not extensive but there is enough choice. We were in early and were invited to order drinks right away which we did. The menu book was on the table so we were able to choose at our leisure. Our order was taken but in face we had to wait quite a while for our first course. The meals were very good and hot. The staff were friendly and helpful. We asked for the dessert menu which was not forthcoming. We had to go to the bar to ask again. We ordered our desserts and again they were a long time coming. In the midst of this a band was setting up - it being Friday night - which meant the outside door was open for a long time and it was cold. This room we were in was not huge and the band's equipment was vast meaning it would be noisy. We did feel that we were being waited on to finish as when we got up from the table the staff moved the chairs and the table so that people could sit and listen to the band. However it was an enjoyable evening with friends.

Large room, not much atmosphere. my steak was average and thats being kind, Was medium cooked but very thin, huge...

Took my other half and mother out for Sunday lunch and couldn't fault the meal we had , piping hot very tasty meal and good value .

Handsdown, this is the best beer garden set up in the area, probably the most important reason to visit during the glimpses of summery weather! Under new management for the past three months, the interior is clean, efficient and a good selection of beers and food in the menu. Now, if the new owner could only meet eye contact, seem warm and delighted to see patrons, I believe he's on to a winner.

When arrived .. greeted with the grumpiest bartender who had no eye contact with any of us..turned his back on us.. no warm greeting!! There was one other family who had ordered before us.. barman said he would take thier food out to them as they were sat outside.. we ordered our food.. we asked the barman to give us a shout when the food was ready and he said he would as we were outside with the children.. he called us to say our food was ready, the other family looked confused as they had ordered before us.. we thought it was because he said he would bring thier food out to them.. when we got in.. we were given food not exactly to our order.. continued to cut up children's food as thought it was a small mistake ( peas instead of beans) then realised it wasn't our order and pointed this out.. he then got angry., grabbed the food off the table and took it out to the other family.. even though we had already cut it up! Eventually got our order.. the kids sausages were the cheapest things ever.. nasty looking and greasy.. the lasagne was plain.. not homemade as advertised and tasteless.. when confronted barman/chef about this matter he was extremely rude and very reluctant to give a refund as meals were unsatisfactory! This place could do with ALL staff learning about customer service and if they can't supply food worthy of eating.. just stick to providing alcohol!

Interesting experience on a Saturday evening in August 2017. The Keltek King beer was great. The pub itself was clean and relatively welcoming. The staff very friendly. Wanted to put drinks and food on a tab so thy just took my credit card behind the bar. The garlic bread as a starter was like a piece of cardboard. The rack of ribs was very poor. The chicken burger and pizza were fine.

Very nice pub, good decorations and very good food. Prices are reasonable and good size meals. Well worthwhile visiting

We called in at this Pub for food and found an attractively re-furbished interior, beautiful garden and Terrace, great welcome from happy staff, lovely pub food, and great local Ales. On the main road between Redruth and Falmouth, it's handy for visiting Gwennap Pit and Carn Brea. There's a variety of live music over the weekend too. Will return !!

Great portions, good food and friendly efficient service. The beer and cider was perfect for a summer evening and the play-area was ideal and safe for the kids.

We had not meant to be staying in Lanner but our motorhome had broken down and we were staying in Lanner while it was being repaired. We were staying at the Lanner Inn but they did not do evening meals and directed us to The Coppice.The Coppice has recently changed hands and has been given a makeover. The bar area we were in was very pleasant with a dining area and comfy chairs.It was a dull Tuesday evening so the bar was not busy and we were able to have a chat to Pete (hope I remembered your name correctly) the new landlord.The menu was fairly short, always a good sign, with a good range of choices. Portions are huge. Food was extremely tasty. I had the mushroom pasta and my husband the spares ribs which he pronounced as delicious. The ale was excellent.We fully intended to go there for dinner on the following evening but the weather was awful, very wet, most of our gear was back in the motorhome in the repair shop and we did not have the luxury of being able to change into dry clothes if we got soaked! This was disappointing because we were looking forward to the Quiz Night.We enjoyed our short time there and wish everyone involved success in their venture.

This is a pub which has needed some real dynamism for some years. Went in the other day for a pint to find it under new management. The flooring and lighting have been changed and the staff seemed really eager. They were having some teething problems with the information system at the bar but apart from this all was good. The choice of beer was good and the atmosphere was a notch up on the last time we went in

We visited The Coppice due to the Fox and Hounds just down the road being closed!! The Coppice is rather a large buiding but sadly lacking atmosphere, that was until the band started up and they were really very good but just a little too loud. We did not eat there but would have liked to as the food looked great and I was very tempted to go for it! I didn't spot a dining room, people were eating in both of the bars. I did spot a snooker/pool room which proved to be popular. We were made welcome by the landlord and staff.

Lovely welcoming pub. Beautiful garden and terrace . Childrens play area. Good food and great local ales. Convenient in the nice village if Lanner, on main road between Falmouth and Redruth. We will visit again !

Yes, ok, during the week for a nice drink, average prices. Can get a bit noisy over the weekend with the locals.

The Coppice offers a great choice in food, but for me the Sunday Carvery is a must. A good choice of meats and nicely cooked veggies piled high on my plate was just what the doctor ordered. Accompanied with a good choice of wine and beer in a nice friendly environment made for a great family meal. The only personal thing that I would say as an Aussie is that the Poms still can't make a good coffee

We went for a Sunday evening meal with our 2 kids, good verily on the menu I had fajitas and my wife had ham eggs and chips, I cannot remember what the kids but they ate it all no moaning, back to our meals they came out well presented hot and taisty, the staff were really friendly and after 2 drinks each the bill came to only £45 which I think is very good value for what we got, I will be visiting again for sure.

this place is very clean with a warm welcome. the food is excellent and great value portion sizes are big. wednesday night is quiz night, going back again to try something else from the meal and our luck at the quiz

Lovely meal xxCalled in for lunch, delicious.A lot of good choice with many special deals...Friendly atmosphere, love the landlord & lady xx

Lovely pub with welcoming staff, who served us at our table and were very helpful throughout our visit. Food was tasty and good sized portions, and the coffee was excellent. The kids loved the adventure playground in the pub garden so we got some extra time to relax before home time! Highly recommend.

Lovely place, great food, great staff. Always get a grateful welcome. Families very welcome. In the summer it's a fantastic beer garden

Called in for roast on way to Falmouth,meet by pleasant young girl and asked if there was room for two. Only tables left were very low,not easy for eating. The carvery in back room seems strange but no tables there. Three meats and fair selection of veg only drawback was apart from warm plates food needed to be hot.Don't think we will be coming back for a while.

Called in on passing at 1.58pm (advertised lunch served from 12-2). 'A warm welcome' is writ large on the outside wall. It was more like an icy winters day with the heating broken. The food may be great as in other posts and maybe the kitchen was closing but no offer of even a sandwich or drink. People drinking outside but the barmaid of the day standing behind the bar, arms folded. Maybe it's only qarm welcome for 'locals'. Shame

Being fairly local, but never having visited the Coppice before, we thought we would try it because of the lovely large, safe & well equipped play area. The gardens are absolutely beautiful & very well maintained. On arrival, we were very pleasantly surprised to discover it is run by Derek and jo. (Landlord and landlady of our previous local years ago pre children).We decided to return with children the following weekend for my husbands birthday. The food was absolutely amazing (as we knew it would be). Massive portions, well presented, extensive menu choices and much to hubby's delight a wide selection of real ales. My 7 year old said it was the best ham egg and chips he had ever tasted! Derek and jo's food has always been way above the standard of any other pub we have visited, and we have visited a few!The ingredients vere high quality, it was all freshly prepared and piping hot. Absolutely delicious. We were all so full we couldnt manage an evening meal!Cannot reccomend it highly enough. Lovely surroundings, fantastic hosts, food delicious. Cant wait to return for carvery.

Staying in nearby St Day, we came here for dinner on the first night of the holiday. The inside of the pub is a bit dingy and tired and we both said that, if the weather was poor and we needed to sit inside, we may have gone somewhere else. Whilst we don't expect someone to welcome us with open arms, it was still a bit difficult to raise a smile out of the person serving us. The atmosphere from the locals there made us feel like we were the outsiders too.That said, it was very pleasant sat outside the front of the pub and the food itself was nice, though the pesto on my wife's pizza was a bit overpowering and so she couldn't finish it.Perhaps we came here on an off day, but the place could be fantastic with a few changes.

Came here for Sunday lunch had roast ,we have never been before but heard good things. Food was very nice, with friendly waitresses. You have to pay at the bar before you eat and you get given a token which you take to the chef serving the roast. Would recommend .

New menu - fish platter pictured was simply excellent £11.25 with feta cheese starter about £5 Also 2x8 oz steak sizzlers £18 are now on the menu - well worth a visit

Fantastic value meal , on the specials today sardines , salad , and two crispy rolls with butter , however there is an extensive lunch or evening menu anyway , to include eat in / takeaway pizzas , very hard to fault this popular inn .

Excellent service all round. All our food arrived on the table very quickly and all food was to a high standard, tasted great! Wide variety of beers and ales and a pleasant beer garden to enjoy the sun. Would definitely recommend to others.

Went on Monday lunchtime for meal with friends. All the food was excellent and served in a polite manner. Had a nice pint after sat by the roaring log burner. Very enjoyable.

The sign outside offers 'a warm welcome' er OK! On entering met the landlady behind the bar who barely spoke, ordered drinks and food. The place was very quiet and we were the first to order food, basic pub lunch fayre, after 35 minutes wait the food finally arrives without a word from the landlady. I mentioned that they don't exactly rush themselves in the kitchen, to which the reply was " well it's only me and 'im here" as she stomped off!!To be fair my ham egg and chips was perfectly OK, my partners sausage, mash and gravy had dry mash and undissolved gravy granules in it.You know that feeling when you meet someone who just shouldn't be in the hospitality industry. . . . . . . .

Wanted to have a nice pub lunch with my parents before leaving tomorrow and some friends of theirs had recommended here. It was flat for my Mum as she had broken her leg recently and couldn't get around well yet.We had been warned there was a wait as they had some walkers in for lunch, but we were relaxed and not in a hurry.Didn't think much of the lack of attention and struggle to get attention for a menu as friendly customers at the bar offered theirs.Waited well over an hour for the food even though the group had eaten and left a long time before and the place was pretty empty. Initially it looked okay, but the three battered fish were awful. Either they had been pre cooked a long time ago and kept in oven,or was very freezer burnt as they were very dry and chewy all the way through.The friendly landlady from reviews had a face like thunder and looked very put out stomping around clearing tables, so we decided not to complain.When I went to the bar to get some more drinks the landlord looked at me briefly and turned away and disappeared. Waited about ten minutes then decided to call it a day.The customers at the bar are the only positive there as they were open and friendly.

A group of 15 of us went for lunch following a walk in the area. We pre-ordered a variety of meals - fish and chips, jacket potatoes etc. All the meals were cheap as were the drinks. The service was friendly and they did manage to bring an extra meal to the group for a late eater. The meals did take a while to come and the meals reflected the price.

Very welcoming , wide selection of beers and reasonably priced wines , extensive menu , both for lunchtimes and evenings , incredibly good value for money , freshly cooked and presented . As an add on bonus , a superb selection of eat in / take away pizzas , a must visit . Regular quiz nights , meat draws , and carvery on Sundays . And if you like it , live entertainment on pre arranged nights . Brilliant ,

What an AMAZING place to eat, Lovely landlord xxxA must a call in, such AMAZING delicious meal deals........Can't wait to call again soon xxx

Went for lunch with the family and we all enjoyed the food and the friendliness of the staff and owners, great value for money and a good range of tasty real ales.......will be visiting again!

The best pizza that I have ever had! £10 for 16.inches! Unfortunately, couldn't eat it all,but was given a proper pizza box to take the remains away in! Dominos who?!! My friends had a couple of steak sizzlers cooked to perfection too. Our dogs really got welcomed also, landlady had treats for them!

Like other reviews this venue is unwelcoming.. And the man behind the is usless! Couldn't handle the till, underpoured our drink no please or thank you let alone a hi or goodbye. Kept ignoring us & was giving away free doubles ( customers paying then asking if he could give a cheeky top up... free pouring spirits! Obviously not the first time ) Young lady pleasent and friendly (when spoken too) very clicky one group of local clientele were rude to us personally. Didn't eat but the food did look good. More of a social club than a pub.

Visited twice in mid August, once for a drink and again for a meal. The selection of ales and ciders was good, and our food was very good! Staff friendly and helpful.

We have enjoyed are time at the coppice, the food was amazing and such friendly staff. It's we worth a visit.

Went here tonight for an evening meal with family down from Devon. The pub was very empty when we arrived (on another couple in there). There were two staff stood by the bar, free, when we walked in and neither said anything to us or offered us a menu. So it wasn't a very warm welcome. Then when we asked for a menu they just handed it over, again without saying much. We then sat down, decided what to eat and ordered. One member of staff couldn't even use the system to take our order so had to wait then for the older of the two to come and help. Again, she wasn't overly friendly. It wasn't looking promising, however my opinion changed when the food came out! The portion sizes were massive, good quality for money. We also didn't have to wait too long for food. We all left afterwards very full. I would go again but not in a massive hurry. For a small village it is a good place for pub grub.

My wife,myself and 4 kids arrived at 8:30pm after a day in Falmouth and we got a table along with 3 more family of ours. The menu was quite varied and the food very good, as was the service and to top it off we won a large whole chicken in a meat raffle being drawn that night as each pound you spend on drink or food gets you a raffle ticket. This was a great idea as we were excited about winning a prize whilst having our meal. The desserts were great too and all very reasonably priced. Will be going again next year,Wednesday if we can for meat raffle.

Arrived ten minutes early 11.50 signs outside said food served from 12 o'clock onwards but all the doors where closed we could not get into the place so much for the warm welcome the signs said outside of the place when we did get into the place at 12 o'clock after asking a staff member could he let us in we arrived into the bar area and a lady that's putting it nicely we asked her was there food being served she said I don't know if there is a chef available but the worst thing was she was dressed like she had just woken up out of bed she gave off the vibes she didn't want anyone in the pub there was no warm welcome and seemed to me the staff didn't have a clue what was evening happening very unprofessional and to be honest wouldn't tell anyone to go there and we left after feeling like we where not welcome there it was a joke and a not funny one keep away from this place until they realise they are running a establishment not a home for under dressed tired people who don't care and don't brush there hair and remember the customers or lack of them are always right

Visited here a few times with my family, always lovely extensive menu and lovely safe garden for the children to play, which has a great play area.Tried the carvery and it was gorgeous, lots of fresh veggies and generous portions of juicy meat and I'm a sucker for gravy, will be back again and highly recommend it to anyone, first class friendly staff, very helpful.Thank you x

Me and my family went out for a sunday meal today and the staff and place was welcoming and really nice but when it came to our food we had to wait half an hour and 4 out of the 5 meals were the wrong ones and they either cold food or the wrong order and one of the meals had a gone off steak and the other meals were cold rubbery or no taste

Went for a family meal.Extremely strange layout for a pub, but clean and comfortable.We ordered food and drinks and then more drinks and more as the starters took 45mins to come out, however a table of 8 had just ordered before us but we were the only two tables eating at the time. After 1 1/2hrs the mains came out. Food was nice, good sized portions. However don't think it was worth the was wait. I went up to the bar to order more drinks and the lady behind the bar was obviously not impressed that I disturbed her conversation and she didn't even engage with me to busy talking to the locals at the bar, my change was dumped on the bar, very rude. Reasonable prices good food but not really an inviting family pub more of a local pub for local drinkers.

went for an evening meal ,the service was good and the madras curry was excellent,wife and daughter had the american chicken and ate most of their meals as did i but the portions are very big and we all struggled to finish but noneof us managed,will definitely go again

4 of us went to the Coppice for Sunday Lunch, it was great. We all had the Carvery, you could choose between Beef, Pork or Turkey. I had Pork and Turkey (loads of meat) with Yorkshire pud and veg, it was super. For dessert I had sticky toffee pudding and custard, lovely jubbly............... oh the beer was great as well.The service was great and the staff were really friendly, will definitely go back.

We visited today and had Sunday Carvery. There was Beef, Turkey & Pork, I had Beef and it was just lovely, tender and excellent portions, my Hubby had some of each meat, i never seen so much on a plate. There was such a good choice of veg and the Lemon Pud was just to die for. We would go here every week if we could!!!Also there is a nice garden outside.

Went here for food the meal was excellent the staff were very friendly and helpful would highly recommend an wouldn't hesitate to return

We've been visiting this place for many years and have seen quite a few managers come and go. However, the new incumbents have changed the place quite dramatically. Notably there is so much furniture, in the nature of small tables and little stools that I can hardly imagine there is much room for many customers anymore.This pub serves a local brew of beer which may be an acquired taste, my husband doesn't like the stuff. I drink only coffee when out: at The Coppice now this consists of an expression in a larger cup with hot water to top up with. Very strange. I have never been served coffee like this anywhere else before. We haven't eaten here with this management team in place but I was talking with someone I know on our last visit who told me that he and his family eat there at least once every week so that must mean that it is reasonably good for them to return that often.Parking is pretty good and Disabled access is reasonable, there is a Wheelchair Accessible Toilet, but as before stated the main bar is so crammed full of stuff that access is virtually denied everyone.There is a pleasant garden and a terrace to spend time in, but, another but, it is always very windy there so I'd recommend taking something to keep the chill at bay, even on a sunny day.

Arrived on a Saturday at 12 midday . Website stated open at 11.30. Door locked . no one home. Nobody answered the phone. Won't be going back.

We had a very good Sunday lunch at The Coppice Inn, Lanner today.There was a choice of beef, gammon and turkey.and a plentiful variety of vegetables, proper roast potatoes, also very tasty gravyAn excellent carvery,i, about as good as it gets, Thank you Derek and Joan. Frank and Dot.

We visited here Sunday. Opened 12 o'clock. Looking forward to Sunday carvery. Although Opened No Tables Were set up. I liked a coffee but the machine was Not turned on. I had to remind the lady 3 times. She seemed panicked and frustrated. Carvery was served 12:30pm. A lovely Carvery good choice of vegetables with choice of 3 meats. All very well cooked. ( I received my coffee money back. And had a coffee on the house at 12:45pm). Maybe it was a one off day but. May I suggest that The Coppice switch on the coffee machine at the start of the shift to avoid customers having to wait 45 minutes.

Having only recently moved to this area we decided to try out this pub/restaurant as we want to take our friends somewhere when they come down later this month. It was nice and quiet, the landlord and landlady were pleasant and chatty. There was a nice choice of meals and we opted for the lighter bite menu. We ordered gammon ham, egg, chips and peas. There were two pieces of ham and it was really lovely. The chips were just right and the egg too. One of us had a dessert which was a blackberry and apple crumble with ice cream with was delicious. The prices were good and we had a thoroughly good meal. We will be taking our friends here. The seating was comfortable and there was a wood burner in the corner - very welcoming.

We were planning a walk for 20 of us with lunch at the Coppice. One of them came and took our order in advance of the walk, so when we arrived, the food started to arrive quickly. We were also able to pay individually, which is useful for us. There were a variety of meals like jacket potatoes, fish and chips and similar. The portions were good and so were the prices. We all enjoyed our meals and the service was good and quick.

Seven of us rolled up for dinner tonight, we had Soup, Surf&Turf, Cajun Chicken, Curry, Soup with crusty bread, Chefs Pie. The chips are 'real' homemade chips, none of your frozen rubbish. Every meal was perfect, hot and tasty. The chefs Pie was Steak and I have never seen/tasted such a packed out with steak pie. We highly recommend this restaurant - and hope to return before we head off home.
