The Goat in South Kesteven

Seems very quiet and uninviting since the Assistant Manager left to run her own pub. I would travel to her new pub but its 80 miles away! There's no conversation or interaction from staff, no engagement, just a very quiet sterile atmosphere in the bar area. Sure food is great but I visit for a pub experience not restaurant.

Visited with inlaws for lunch. Personal service, good choice of beers and food. Had lovely steak special and good value for money

Was wanting a venue to host my parents 60th wedding anniversary surprise, I had made several phone calls to various places and The Goat was the only one that didn't charge room hire, but they had to cater, which I was more than happy with, they emailed me several menus, all with great choices on,I plumped for £14.50 per head with upto 40 people attending. We were given the conservatory, a lovely bright, sunny room with plenty of table space and seats, I was more than happy. The buffet was excellent with a great choice of sandwiches, quiche, pork pies and cakes to, all really tasty and good quality food...with the bar next door, it was a great afternoon in a lovely setting.

The Goat is personal service, fantastic food and sublime real ale. The menu is big - deep fried chorizo fries for a side anyone? - and there are specials as well. I had the liver and bacon casserole this time which was fantastic.

Well, service during the meal was good. We were initially shown into the conservatory; it was freezing, not good so was moved to a separate room…which was good. Then the mains, well, I’m afraid it was relatively tasteless….just not worth £18.95. Pudding was good though. Been here a few times before but today was not the best. Wish they had kept the normal menu as well. Real ale excellent.

Nice local pub featuring local beers. A good sensibly priced menu. Quite a reasonable welcome. Great parking.

We had an excellent lunch from the specials board - Barnsley lamb chop and a paprica serloin stake. They were delicious. Food delivery was not immediate but what came convinced me that the delay was because it was fresh cooked. Good range of real ales, friendly service and good pricing for the quality given means I'll be back. There is ample parking and lots of seperate dining areas so you won't feel crouded. There's a fenced play activity area by the parking area.

We have not visited this pub for years but just dropped in for lunch. We had a couples of panini’s with chips and salad which were lovely. Good selection of beer.

Very disappointing visit and certainly will not be returning. A previous visit a few years ago was a very different experience and very sad to see such a decline. We visited for Sunday lunch to find a pretty much empty restaurant at peak time. No atmosphere and very dated surroundings. Our starters were ok, nothing special and small but edible. The roast dinners were pretty poor with watery veg and the worst roast potato’s we’ve ever had, however the beef and gravy were nice and the only thing we ate. The kids meal appeared under cooked and whilst they did take back and cook for longer it was very off putting and not eaten. The younger staff there were very pleasant and trying their best but it sadly appears to be a sinking ship. A great location and potential but lacking in so many ways. A perfect project for Gordon Ramsey! Extremely disappointing to spend your hard earned cash on a Sunday dinner to have to go home and cook another meal!

The meal was second rate, I had burger and chips not good my other half had meat pie which was very salty with cooked frozen veg, at least you could chew the meat. Spotted duck was tastless with watered-down custard. My pet hatred is dirty sauce bottles ask three times for a clean one in the end gave up. Not good for £47

Staying in the local area for new year celebrations, took a gamble on a family friendly pub we found via Facebook! Couldn’t have picked a better place! The food was OUTSTANDING. Large portions of hot delicious food. 4 adults & 2 children made to feel very welcome & excellent service. We’ve all left absolutely stuffed! Will definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

Nice and cost in the bar / pub area, restaurant towards the back not used and hence cold in atmosphere Asked the two young employees about the different beers on tab, would have loved to learn more about the wide variety they actually offer Food was ok, nothing great. Liver & bacon was very big portion, while the haddock poached was tasty but a very small portion, Christmas pudding was swimming in a sickly tasty custard … overall an ok experience but would not go again for a meal

We went on Boxing Day for a pre ordered lunch booking. Firstly we were sat in a dinner area on the left as you walk in no one else dining, no atmosphere and cold. One of us was gluten free / celiac disease as per preorder but brought me normal bread so had to remind them, no separate butter for cross contamination of the other dinners we me. Due to being so cold we decided to have our main courses and leave, veg was served in silver servers however the hadn’t drained the water off so was swimming in water. Waitress clearing are starters was clumsy pilling all put at end of table and dropping items of cutlery, over all experience was unfortunately poor. The itemised bill was not easy to understand and no idea if deposit had been deducted, we cancelled too people the very next day of booking and they keep the deposit to. We will not be returning anytime soon.

Well-priced Sunday roast and served quickly. Great beer and cider selection including a good Guinness. Really cosy, welcoming, old-style pub with tons of character, ample parking, a crackling fire and lovely, friendly, attentive bar and waiting staff (not to mention RECENT awards!). My wife and I like to try different pubs wherever we travel and found The Goat right on our doorstep, and would both highly recommend it for its Sunday lunch we had this afternoon and would definitely come back again, the perfect measure of a great pub well deserving of its awards! Well worth a visit if you’re in the area… or county.

It was very disappointing. My fish was over cooked and had a few long bones in it. My wife had chicken and it was very dry. We told the waitress and she said she would tell the chef. She apologised but she didn’t cook it! Should have stayed at home and saved £30!

I have been eating here for a few years now. The food is always delicious. I had lunch today, as I have done many times and I want to commend Kerry Ann, my server and Mark, the chef, for great service, attention to detail and a delicious meal. All the staff including the owner, Richard, without fail make me feel welcome and I am so happy to write this review as my way to say thank you. Paul Benson, a very happy customer.

Decided to stop at The Goat with our three spaniels following a walk at Glinton... it was on our way home, was Peterborough CAMRA Rural Pub of the Year 2022, seems to be independently owned and we had had a great visit several years previously. I'd confirmed via a previous phone call that although dogs weren't allowed in the pub they were welcome in the garden provided they were on leads (perfectly fair enough). I think I'd probably use the term welcome quite loosely in our case... we could enter the large back garden (once we'd confirmed the sign stating 'No Dogs' didn't apply) but we couldn't sit on the nicer and more comfortable patio area so sat on the benches - there was one other couple in the area and we'd have been respectful enough to sit well away from them. Food was lovely and served promptly by a really pleasant and helpful young waiter... tables were clean and garden area neat with a childrens play area for little ones. The menu is concise but there was still sufficient choice, including vegetarian and vegan options - however, we opted for the mezze sharing platter simply to 'get fed and get out' as we both felt inconvenient. I'm sure this little pub is great for many folks but I'll be very reluctant to return simply due to feeling so unwelcomed.

Have been here pre-covid times & always been a huge fan. But went last Saturday afternoon & such a disappointment !! Saturday afternoon & it was empty (said it all really as it’s always been rammed before ), ordered starters & main. Starter was really poor, had the sharing platter, mozzarella sticks were the only edible bit. For main I had burger & chips, chips had clearly been cooked before & then stuck in the fryer again, completely inedible. Burger looked handmade but tasted like very cheap mince, not much seasoning. Husbands ploughman’s was equally grim. Such a shame as this used to be our go to for a bit of lunch, maybe its under new management , I’m not sure ? Staff clearly not interested, didn’t even ask if we enjoyed our meal (maybe the full plates told them that we didn’t), but didn’t care . We won’t be back.

I have been a customer here for close to 4 years. The food is always delicious and the staff are amazing I always feel so welcome especially by Kerry Ann, Mark and Richard.I am already looking forward to lunch next week. Thank you all for looking after me so well. Paul Benson, a very happy customer.

We absolutely love The Goat a perfect little local pub. Really friendly staff, nice and cosy inside and when the weather is better they have a huge beer garden out the back with a play area for kids. Highly recommend :)

We were warmly welcomed by Kerry Anne who showed us to a cosy corner of the bar, next to a log fire. Kerry Anne was able to give details of all the real ales available (with their strengths).....This type of detail is so important for...

Fantastic food and service, table of 6 for lunch today. A very emotional day for the family, first year of Mums passing. Thank you team at the goat

We booked a bitt last minute as we're in the area. The pub was presented well, nice old fashioned feel and nice decoration.we both had prawn cocktail to start. This was quite nice apart from the Marie rose sauce being very vinegary and cheap tasting....

As a regular visitor to the goat, I was very disappointed this evening. Firstly to be left waiting to be seated for over 10 minutes and then to go to the bar after no table service to be informed no drinks could be served as...

We visited here recently for a family birthday meal. As usual, the outdoor area was great for the kids and they enjoyed the freedom of the outdoor space, even our 11yr old! The waitress service was also great - we were regularly asked if we...

Had a really poor quality meal here on the 3rd June 2021. It was a treat and a rare family meal out. We booked for a table of 3 adults and 2 children. We were seated on the rickety picnic tables and when asked if...

Had always enjoyed meals at the Goat until today. Went for lunch with two friends, and myself and one of the couple I was with had £12.95/£11.95 meals (gammon, and steak pie) from the lunchtime menu. While we were choosing, the barman pointed out there...

We had a lovely lunch here. The pub felt Covid safe with track and trace in place as well as a one way system around the pub. The customers were well spread out. The food was excellent, really hot and there was a good varied...

This was our first meal out since lock down and we were not disappointed! The service was amazing as was the food, we all had a starter and a burger and it was delicious! The staff were very attentive. There was a slight wait for...

Just wanted to say how welcoming the staff were after 3 months of lockdown. Covid secure but not over the top. food was nice and staff were great .

I have to be sensible and stay away from my favourite lunchtime pub, The Goat. I always enjoy my lunches here and the amazing staff are exceptional. Thank you Kerri, Mark and Richard in particular. I am going to miss you for a little while...

Went for sunday lunch last week food excellent service good and real ale very very good and not to expensive.

Stopped for lunch. Amazing food lovely atmosphere and extremely pleasant staff. Will come again when in the area

Went to the goat for a family meal it is a lovely clean place. Very helpful landlord I am celiac and had to have gluten free food. The food was lovely we all are different things and we're all highly satisfied. Would highly recommend and...

Set menu only tonight, but a the choice was good. Nice selection of ales in the small bar too. One thing which was annoying was the constant hovering to clear our plates - even though no one was waiting for the table

Stopped off for lunch today. Staff are super friendly and food was delish. I had the burritos and my hubby had the liver, bacon and onions. Both of us ate every bit. The portions are not small and it was great value for money. I dont usually do puddings but after a recommendation from the lady I had the double chocolate brownie. It was so light and very tasty. I have already spoken to family and said we will take them there when they next visit.Thanks for a lovely lunch and we will see you again very soon.

With two friends, my wife and I had a lovely New Years Eve evening. The food was really tasty, the staff really attentive and atmosphere great. Will definitely be returning for a good meal again in the future.

Many reviewers of the Goat have an advantage over me in that it was their first visit. My case is different in that I used to be a regular at the Goat up until a few years ago so my review is a contrast between what the Goat was then and what the Goat is today.In short the Goat used to be exceptional. The food that flowed from their kitchen was well above the quality of what you would be served almost anywhere else, the portions were big, the price was extraordinary value really and the staff were highly trained as well as being welcoming and friendly.Now for the Goat as it was on the evening of 18/12/19. Our party of 25 was placed in the rear part of the Goat where both wall radiators were not working & a small plug in oil filled radiator was futilely trying to heat the space. All of the guests were cold and we had to ask for more heating. A second oil radiator turned up but it only 30 minutes from leaving before I dared to remove my coat and this was more due to the body heat of our 25 guests than the inadequate heating.The delivery of the food was on time but was disorganised to the degree that the staff started to emit visual annoyance which several of our guests detected. It was obvious that this was not a well oiled machine and some of the staff did not seem to be well trained at all which only added to their inability to pull it back and regain control.The saddest part for me however was the food. It used to be faultless. In the past if I had ordered cod and chips at the Goat it was going to be close to the best cod & chips I had tasted anywhere. The greasy lump of batter I received yesterday was therefore a real indicator to me that something has gone terribly wrong. I asked my wife (also a past regular) what she thought just to make sure it wasn't just me and she confirmed that she wouldn't want to eat there again now and that she wished she hadn't waxed lyrical about the place to her guests prior to the event.In the past if I was asked to rate the friendliness of the staff I would have given an unhesitating 4.5 out of 5 (5 being unobtainable). Today I would give them a 2.Then there were other things such as going into the male toilet and seeing an open plastic tupperware catching excess fluids from the urinal waste pipe. Best case would be that it had only started leaking that day but given how easy it is to fix a low pressure waste fitting it shouldn't have been there under any circumstances in my opinion.To add to the ambience of the warm country pub feel at just after 9pm you were treated to the peaceful reverberations of a vacuum cleaner ringing in your ears. Logic suggests to me that given people are paying good money to come and sit in nice surroundings with soft music you might want to wait until they have all left before commencing the industrial activities.In short I would no longer go to the Goat myself now and could therefore not recommend it to others. Perhaps if you don't come with the baggage of knowing what it was however (and other places you have eaten in have not been of a particularly high standard) you might well be satisfied.Given that the Goat had such a big reputation from the standards it previously set it will no doubt be able to trade in its present format for some time before seeing damage to the bottom line but its always sad to see this occur. I can only take a speculative guess that perhaps the Goat is under new management since my last visit and that the chefs they used to have have departed but that is just a guess. I do not know what is going on with it.I am now seeking a new Goat that can offer what the old Goat used to offer.

Mum and i visited here for the 1st time on sunday, mum had the steak and ale pie and i had the burger. The best pie mum has ever had and same for me with my burger All the staff were very friendly and helpful Will be back again soon

I popped in for lunch once again. My previous reviews tell of how much I like eating here. I thought I would write about my recent lunch experience so that potential new customers can see why I rate The Goat staff so highly. There was trouble in the air when I walked in exactly at 12 noon, opening time. It could have been a disaster because a staff member had not turned up for work. Poor chef had to work his day off! A large group was about to arrive for lunch! What happened? Did I get my lunch? Oh yes I did, with the customary smile and good service.They don't make a drama out of a crisis here at the Goat.All was well under trying circumstances and Ienjoyed the meal as much as I always do. Thank you once again for looking after me so well with MY USUAL milky latte and delicious prawn cocktail with chips. The manager, Richard must be very proud of his staff. Paul.

My friend & I visit the Goat from time to time for lunch. Our visit last week was very disappointing. The beer was disgusting. It was called something like 'Silly Boy' and we were very silly to choose it. The landlord refused to change it even though we had only each taken a sip. I warned my friend that from a previous visit the seafood platter was disappointing. She chose it anyway. The seafood comprised a few prawns, heavily coated in breadcrumbs. My liver & bacon was fine but we will not be eating there again.

Family had travelled down from Sheffield for lunch yesterday and my daughter in law booked us in with you having had a great meal previously. However yesterdays experience was far from great. My step son ordered a panni and I the Frenchie.. His panni was rock solid! Completely burnt. You did however remove this from the bill. I had the best excuse for the reason why my chicken was dry!! I'd ask for crispy bacon! Apparently because I had asked for crispy bacon the chicken and bacon we're cooked at the same time! I'm unsure if the chef is in training but a chicken fillet and a couple of rashers bacon do not need to be cooked for the same length of time even if the bacon was requested crispy. To top it off the bun was burnt, very badly burnt! I just thought it was the best excuse ever, nothing was done about it as I had requested it! So for £13.95 I had a few chips two slices of brie and two rashers of bacon!!! I'm still gobsmacked! Last point, your sauces for steak are extremely over priced at £3.95 for a small jug and the same price as the additional Scampi you can add to your steak is just unacceptable. Will not becoming back! We were the only people in the restaurant, so food should have been tip top. I know nothing will be done about this but I felt others should know.

Busy, even on a Monday. Lots of tables. Friendly service. Food was good and plentiful. I had mushroom wellington and it was delicious. My friends also reported good food. Only off note was ‘cheesecake’ which tasted more like a light raspberry mousse. Did not seem to contain cheese.

We visited following a visit to Crowland. Nice and peaceful at 5.30 pm. Very good food (two mushroom starters, two roast turkey, two roast beef, two pavlovas) and plenty of it (more than I could manage!) The men were very happy with their beers (Speckled Hen and Red Kite) and the girls enjoyed a well-chilled Belvoir raspberry lemonade and a tasty Sauvignon Blanc. Sadly the coffee machine wasn't working. All staff we had contact with - from telephone booking through to paying the bill - were very pleasant, polite and efficient.

I have to say it would have got more than two stars. I was originally thinking of one.

a first time hear for us very nice outside and in good size carpark very clean place staff ok food fresh and nice and hot good menu but i think a bit dear in price but that just my opinon and my support worker out side back and front eating area good selection of bear (ect)

Good food but let down by hard carrots an poor presentation( chicken and sauce placed on top of all veg) veg brocly new pots and carrots would have been better served separate.

This is my second review of The Goat. I am amazed by the way the staff here care about regulars like me. As always, I enjoyed my Sunday lunch immensely, as I do whenever I eat here.Everybody, including the manager take time to make sure customers are happy. Thank you for looking after me today and every time I visit.. Paul.

Last minute decision to take family for Sunday lunch. Great food enjoyed by all. Would highly recommend a visit.

Really good Sunday Roast dinner. Great atmosphere, friendly and professional staff. Children were well catered for and there is a safe play area for them.

Meal=friends had chicken enjoyed there's but me no. i had veg lasagne[ no veg

Mid-week meal was not good. Stated that the coleslaw seemed to be "off". After a short investigation, their response was that the date on the tub was fine but the mayo used could be more "tart" that normal. Rubbish, it was "off" - tasted fishy and was warm for goodness sake! The starters were not good. Had a brie melting pot thing and the chutney was put on top instead of separate. Had a soggy burger and the salad garnish was as limp as it could get. Never going back!

Took our family of 5 today for a late Sunday lunch. Excellent service, staff very attentive. Food was all very hot and good portions. The special pie was excellent as was the Sunday lunch.

You will receive a warm and friendly welcome from the staff.

We have recently moved to the area and had visited this pub many years ago, it was great back then.

The staff here are excellent and the food is great.I always feel welcome here and I will visit here as often as possible.

Me & my partner visited yesterday wanting some good pub food, however unfortunately we didn’t receive this. My partner ordered chicken strips to start - £6, he got 2 very small chicken strips with a spot of bbq sauce! For mains he ordered seafood combo - this was just basically scampi - everything battered, which it does not state on the menu! I had lasagne which was average - much smaller than it used to be, which came with some dry garlic bread. The bill came to just over £40 !!! I only had one soft drink and he had 2 beers, whether it’s changed owners I’m not sure but prices never used to be that much! We didn’t complain at the time as we just wanted to leave as it was very warm in there & the couple behind us was already complaining about the food & the waiters were fairly nice. We just know for future, not to return.

Booked a table for 3 on a Saturday night in July for 8.15pm

Following a disappointing visit to another pub 3 friends and I went to The Goat. Friendly staff, good sized portions representing value for money. Thank you.

Visited the Goat and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Decided to eat in due to the heat outside and didn't fancy being in the conservatory. The pub was extremely hot and had no aircon, another customer came in and complained that the heating was on. The staff stated they couldn't turn it off. And yes I checked the radiator and it was on full. It was so hot inside that it totally ruined the meal and my daughter left most of hers. I did complain but the manager was not in.

Went here on a recommendation from my sister, simply great food and service throughout our meal. Smiley faces which as you all know makes a big difference when you are out. Have been back several times now and pleased to report, it`s all good. Get yourself down here if you are local or pop in if you are passing. You won`t regret it.

Second visit since lovely mothers day meal for daily reunion with Australian relatives party of ten.Staff efficient and attentive food arrived on time well presented and delicious.Thankyou team for a great experience.

Quaint little pub that does reasonable food. Quite a varied selection on the menu, bar staff were pleasant and friendly. Food was nice, decent drinks on tap. I'd go again. not in a rush but if I was in the area.

After ordering at the bar, we sat outside as we had the dog with us. Our food was delivered quickly, was very tasty and good portions, we really struggled to eat a dessert but managed!!! Finished off with a latte, nomnomnomnomnom. The pub was closing at 3, the young girl came out and told us in case we need to us the facilities, also stated that we were welcome to stay chatting for as long as we wanted. Well done to all concerned a very enjoyable experience, will definitely return.

The last time I ate here the food was not up to it's usual standard. Went there with visiting family for a Sunday lunch. Previously the food had een excellent, howver, on this occasion it was quite poor. I have been to the pub since and had bar food which was better than before.

Went for supper with a friend. Friendly service with bar tender coming to table to take orders (I am disabled). We both had very good helpings of good food. They also have good beer.

Visited today with friends came all the way up from Norfolk service was very slow and food very expensive portion of chips over £3 and weren’t even home cooked tasted like a supermarket own brand don’t know how they get away with it never visit again better of at a local chippy

Celebrated my daughters 16th birthday with a meal, we were not disappointed, very friendly staff, very good food and good portions. Definitely recommend. Thank you to all.

Yet again another fantastic meal took our friends. All had a lovely time sitting in the beer garden. A very nice Birthday time.

As usual we hadn’t booked, but, The Goat although busy, welcomed us and made a table available very quickly. I have reviewed this establishment before but credit where credit is due and therefore here we are again. Lovely Staff all pleasant and professional. Excellent choice of ales etc. The food was delicious, excellent in fact. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The deserts also were lovely, I had sponge pudding with custard and it took me back in time, my traditional favourite. Thank you all very much.

Went for drinks and was surprised that there was little choice of different brands (especially vodka), considering other places have invested in many brands to appeal to customers. Quiet place for a Saturday night which meant it was easy to get served. Bar staff friendly and helpful. Toilets clean. Decor dated.

Wonderful Mothers Day lunch service roast dinner excellent,exceptional customer service very attentive.Lovely friendly atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. Highly recommended.Thanks to the great staff well done all

Last minute decision to have lunch out with my daughters. Everyone was happy with their meals as usual and staff were happy & efficient. Be back soon! 😃

We as a family came for my birthday meal. The food was excellent, and the service right from the word go was brilliant. The two young girls that waited on us were just lovely.

A time warp pub, all patterned carpet and dark furniture, but unfortunately very quiet with no atmosphere on a weekday lunchtime. The specials menu had 2 out of 5 items unavailable. The food was ok, the highlight being the home cooked ham and chips but really nothing special. One of our party ordered liver and bacon but was particularly disappointed with the presentation as it was literally swimming in gravy in a dish, making it really hard to eat.All the sauces were in packets and even the milk for tea was in long life, single use cartons. At least the tables were clean, judging by the gentle aroma of bleach. Disappointed.

Been here a few times and always found the woman at 'front of house' very, very pushy, LOUD and overbearing....

This is a regular meal out for us as a group of friends. Always looked after really well, the staff...

Poor service, ditsy staff that can't tell what drinks should be served, food was poor, we certainly won't return here...

The plan was to have a pint and a sandwich, but then we saw the menu. A fantastic pub lunch,...

Just turned up on a Sunday lunch 4 adults and a baby, seated straight away in the conservatory which was...

We have eaten at The Goat several times while visiting family in the area and always had a lovely meal.

A very wide range of food and drink, prepared and presented excellently by knowledgeable friendly staff , in a nice setting.

We go to The Goat regularly and always very impressed with it, especially the service.

The goat is very popular with me and my family, excellent service and wonderful food. Plenty of choice on the menu. Plenty of choice with wine and ales.We usually have the garden room just before Xmas for a family gathering.We always take visiting family and friends and like to go for lunch with immediate family now and then.Julie who usually serves us is very welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble.You won’t be disappointed The conservatory is very good for functions/parties

Not locals and we needed somewhere to hold a wake. No problems to the Staff at the Goat, nothing was too much trouble, everything ran smoothly and everyone of the family commented on how nice the place was and how friendly the Staff were. Thank you tool, you made a difficult, sad day a little brighter.

Really helpful staff who emailed menu in advance and offered to adapt to gluten free. In the end did not need to do this, as there was something already suitable on menu. Delicious food for all five of our party and huge portions. Friendly and attentive staff. Will return.

We stopped for an unplanned evening meal. The service was friendly and the waitress chatty. The food was really tasty, home-cooked and well priced. We shall definitely return.

Four of us came here on a day out. The food was superb and lots of it .staff were very good .service great will certainly reccomend and will come again

We went here for a family Birthday celebration: 3 generations all in one room. Everyone was looked after superbly, from the babies to the grandparents. No one could do enough for us. The food was great, though be warned, the portions are big! Pace yourself if you want to make it to dessert, they are worth it. The bar itself is lovely and cosy and there is a lovely beer garden too.Highly recommended.

Lovely country pub, wish the food was good instead of poor, had a quiche which had really soggy wet pastry and coleslaw which was more like mayonaise than coleslaw, side salad had brown lettuce. pork and apple burger was okOn a plus side nice surroundings, good beer and nice staff

Turned up on Sunday lunch time. Waited at the bar to be ignored by the bar staff first...then to be asked in a roundabout way what were we here for and had we booked!! We said no! Waited further..whilst still being ignored by the bar staff! So no drink purchased!! We were eventually asked if we like a table for 3 (as unfortunately our 2 boys were in the toilet at the time), we said no 5 please and just that sharp intake of breath said it all. Customer service at it's worse. Suffice to say we left and ate elsewhere. Would avoid totally.....

We went today for a family celebration and we were very pleasantly surprised. The staff couldn't have done enough for us- so polite, and friendly. Generous portions of food and a lovely atmosphere.

A beautiful pub with great service - I did try to do three and half as it was above average. We both had lasagne which was good, the chips average, coleslaw and salad okay. We both really wanted belly pork which we ordered to then be told they ran out. Would go back as reasonable, local and a nice traditional pub, just need tweaking and no sachets for sauce!!

Good old fashioned pub nosh, great service, really welcoming. Very child friendly with great menu options for old and young.

We recently booked The Goat for large family birthday meals - 11 children and 12 adults. The staff were welcoming, accommodating, professional and so well organised. We were given exclusive use of the conservatory and were able to personalise this for our celebration. The menu was extensive, the food was excellent and plentiful. Julie was amazing and looked after us with great care and sensitivity. Thank you Julie - you made a special occasion very special indeed. We will definitely go back to The Goat and will certainly share our experience with wider friends and family.

To the Frog, at Goatnall, after a two-year absence, where we were greeted and attended to by an exceedingly comely serving wench. A very pleasant midday meal. Thank you.

Used this pub many years ago as it was the in place to eat. I was disappointed with the menu and the quality of food.

Busy pub, decent atmosphere but unfortunately the food was not good. Four main courses, basic food, no presentation, lamb tough and overcooked. Two desserts, one had to be returned, sponge was hard, the other passable.Might call in for a drink in future but not for food.

Not good food served incorrectly and staff very abrupt, not going back told that chef was busy and I could eat elsewhere and pay more

We decided to go out for dinner one weekday evening, the person who I went with has strict dietary requirements so he always rings ahead. He spoke to a very helpful chap, who while on the phone asked the chef about alternative dishes and gave lots of options following these dietary requirements. We arrived in the next hour, spoke again with the chap on the phone who was just as friendly and thorough. We were made to feel very welcome. The food was great and the pub cosy with plenty of places to sit inside and outside.
