The Griffin Inn Swithland in Charnwood

Wow - what a fantastic transformation! Delicious lunch with good service.Not rushed & great atmosphere.Sat indoors but outside seating also looked very inviting had it been a fraction warmer.Will be visiting again - thank you

Overpriced. Service was good. Establishment is good. Food is average and overpriced. Ladies toilet broken on 2 occasions.

Oh wow, this place was gorgeous. So glad my family took us here. Dog friendly beer garden and wonderful main dining room. Excellent food, views and staff.

Excellent service great atmosphere.Food good location great and plenty of different sitting areas. Arguably slightly pricey but blinking good. 5/5

Visited the Griffin Inn Swithland for Mothers Day. Beautiful place, good service but the food was very disappointing. Three of us had the Cricketers Roast that had a £3.95 supplement, it was described as Beef, Pork & Chicken so we thought we were going to get a lovely meal and portion, in reality there was an extremely thin slice of Beef, a small slice of Pork and a chicken leg, it was obvious that a lot of effort had gone into making the portion so poor. The gravy was tasteless and the Yorkshire puddings were cold and dry. My father had beef which again was the thinnest and poorest portion . All in all we paid £250 and left very disappointed. Would genuinely be hesitant going again as the portion and quality was poor.

Very impressive place. Bar, quiet pub, restaurant, courtyard and garden. Food was very nice.

We had a meal here Wednesday night, calamari batter burnt, linguine overcooked, lobster raw, forgotten drinks, forgotten dessert, you charge but don’t deliver this is the third disappointing meal we’ve had the other two were @ your sister restaurant will not be returning. It’s such a shame, when you have such wonderful places, beautifully decorated, great outside space, expect better so disappointed ☹️

Great place delicious breakfast

We went for the Saturday breakfast, one if the best eggs royal and pancakes we've ever had!

A really nice warm welcome on arrival. The seating out front is very inviting, with a canopy providing cover, lights on each table creating a cozy atmosphere, and a grand olive tree as a stunning centerpiece. We chose to sit in the new barn, which had a lovely atmosphere. The service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. We ordered from the spring à la carte menu, selecting the chicken thigh burger with chipotle mayo and the poke bowl with sticky chicken. Both dishes were well presented and flavorful, though they were really just classic pub fare. Nevertheless, everything was enjoyable, and the setting made for a delightful experience overall.

A great place. Food great and interesting. Staff were great, helpful, keen and efficient. Lovely surroundings and will be great for outdoor summer eating

Excellent! Even presented my mum with a slice of birthday cake, with a candle, despite none of us making the staff aware, or asking! I think they saw her badge and figured it out. That’s above and beyond service, and amazing food, and environment.

Absolutely superb experience. It's the most welcoming pub we've been to. Every member of staff we spoke to were friendly and professional and extremely accomodating. The atomosphere was lovely. The food was exceptional. We had the lamb and the hake which were both beautifully presented and very tasty. The desserts were also brilliant. Highly recommended. We don't leave many reviews but felt the whole team needed a mention. They clearly put a lot of hard work and effort into making it a great place to visit.

Beautifully designed pub with good indoor and outdoor seating areas. Menu has something for everyone, and food was of high quality. Great service with a smile. Look forward to visiting in the summer months.

Polite staff, lovely food, great service and atmosphere.

I met some friends for lunch at the Griffin Inn this weekend. The courtyard area was really busy with the first real sunny day of the year. The courtyard seating area is gorgeous with a covered area with heaters and comfortable chairs with rugs. I was met by a lovely young lady with blue hair and a smile, she directed me to Sam who showed us to our table in the restaurant. Fantastic view from our table, the grounds and gardens are beautiful with fields just beyond. Coral and JJ were a our servers and they were just lovely, both were very engaging and had a good amount of knowledge of the menu and were very accommodating of one of our party. The food was delicious and we even had desserts. We will definitely be booking for our next meet up. Thank you to The Griffin Inn and we'll see you again soon.

Good and service excellent. Waitress could have sold ice to the Eskimos lol. Only issues were it was very noisy (four people, round table, near the bar). We could hardly hear our conversations. Other issue parking because the overflow Carpark was closed and we had to park along way away.

Fabulous meal from start to finish 5 in the group had a lovely evening our server lynsay was great x

I was at a 90th birthday lunch and was bowled over (forgive the pun) by everything about The Griffin. The layout and decor were very tasteful, the waiters friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing with beautiful presentation. I will be back.

The food here is so nice! Everything on the menu is well presented, varied and delicious. Great choice of drinks as well! The design and atmosphere is amazing, there is a very well designed restaurant area that has a fire in the middle and feels really modern, a bar restaurant area as well as the pub section. Also, the outside seating area is great for the summer with comfy sofas and tables to sit and eat or drink at. Overall it is a lovely place to be and all the staff are really friendly and professional.

Brilliant staff. Wonderful food

We had a delicious lunch today.. could not fault a single thing and a lovely waitress,who totally engaged with our grandson.. delightful... Great attention to details. 10/10

Really nice experience. Restaurant at the back was lovely, sat next to the window with the running brook which was a great view. Service was perfect and staff really friendly. Would recommend

This was my first visit to The Griffin Inn. I went there with other family members as a party of eight on a Sunday lunchtime, so it was quite busy. Our server was very attentive, patient, and helpful. The food was amazing. It was piping hot and tasted so nice. There were vegan options for my sister, who also enjoyed her meal. The atmosphere and vibe of the place were really good. Whilst we were eating our meals, a waitress came round with additional roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. It is difficult to fault anything about the experience. We left there feeling very satisfied with our visit, and shall definitely go back there again.

We booked here for Sunday lunch for our family for my husband and daughter’s birthdays. Fabulous meal, special, tasty, home cooked. Staff friendly and attentive. Cosy atmosphere with log burner. Children well catered for. I’m vegan and good choices for me. They came round during our meal offering extra roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding! Never known that before in a restaurant. Not the cheapest and my glass of wine was £9! However, perfect for a special occasion and I could not fault any part of the meal. All was delicious. I signed up for emails as expected to receive a free bottle of Birthday Prosecco, but sadly this didn’t happen. However, would 100% recommend The Griffin.

This is a lovely pub with amazing decor and pleasant, helpful staff. However, we were disturbed to see how frequently the main bar server used her fingers to handle ice and lemon, and generally prepare the drinks. At one point she collected ice she had accidentally dropped onto the bar surface and swept it into the cocktail she was preparing. It is not a great look and raises questions about hygiene and training. I am sure they can do better

A nice warm welcome to The Griffin awaited us upon arrival We were shown to the popular and busy bar(which perhaps could benefit from more than one team member) The ambiance was lovely as we took a seat and waited for our friends to arrive. They were slightly late, but there was no rushing us to the table, which was nice We skipped starters and chose burgers, steak and ale pie and fish & chips All food was to a high quality and served by friendly team members A lovely evening all in all A great eatery in the Northern region of Leicestershire

The pub itself is large and spacious, with lovely decor a nice refurb. Menu choice is good and looks impressive. Staff were attentive and very polite. Food was good but not great considering the price point, Mid end restaurant pricing for what is basically posh pub food. A £20 Sharing platter was a few slices of meat, 5? Small ( 5 divided by 2??) croutons a pot of nice tapenade and a few small toms on a small platter. In essence this was a single serving, most definitely NOT a 2 person sharing. Appreciate costs are having a big impact on hospitality and making a profit but if you are going to charge make sure the final product matches that price? Such a shame as we went on such good recommendations.

Amazing country pub with sleek interiors and cozy vibes. Came in as a party of 4. We Loved the service, Martyn in particular was attentive and friendly and looked after us from start to finish. Food was delicious. We will certainly be back

First time here since way back. The food was divinely scrumptious, beautifully served cooked to perfection tasting 'out of this world.' I had the sea bass, hubby the Korean Belly pork with desserts equally brill. Lovely, helpful staff, warm room with real fire & sumptuous surroundings with terrace & gardens outside. We're going back soon.

Visited for lunch today as a family of 6 for my Sons 40th Birthday. As both my sons are Chefs it is very rare we get out all together as a family, so this was special to us all. The transformation of The Griffin is wonderful, so light, airy and tastefully done, but still keeping some of its old charm. The team of staff were all so polite, efficient and welcoming. The communication after booking was faultless, we were regularly updated on local road closures and alternative routes. We all ordered something different and not one of us were disappointed. Sea Bass, Sausage Ragu, House Burger, Beef pie, Garlic Griddled chicken were the dishes we ordered, followed by Biscotti cheesecake, chocolate and orange torte, Tart tatin, Irish coffee, the food tasted superb, well presented, noticeably fresh ingredients and delivered to us hot. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and made our celebration incredibly special. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend this beautiful pub and its restaurant to anyone who appreciates, Good food at a fair price. Thank you to you all. Amanda & family

Beautiful place. I didn't get to eat here, just had a drink, but would definitely like to come back for dinner one day.

We popped in for a drink after a walk round Bradgate Park and it's a lovely spot! The staff were all incredibly welcoming and friendly to us non-locals, the pub itself is beautifully decked out. Will be back to try the food soon.

Very average quality food and small portions. This pub is very big and the food is all pre heated so sadly it comes out over cooked and lacking in quality and flavour. For the prices charged we expected something much better but it was very disappointing

Lovely place to visit for food or a chilled out evening with live music in the garden

We visited yesterday to celebrate my brothers birthday. The service and food were incredible! Nothing was too much trouble and every member of staff we dealt with went out of their way. Special mention to Emily on the bar, she provided the warmest welcome, smiley, friendly, attentive! My daughter loved her as she was paying her attention and laughing with her, she got her some cucumber sticks which kept her occupied too! She made sure we had everything we needed and couldn’t be more helpful. She is a credit to your business. We visit for drinks a lot and it is always 10/10 here! Thank you all x

My husband and I have just had the perfect lunch at The Griffin. I had the beef pie that was so tasty (possibly the best pie I have tasted). It was served really nice and hot with fresh tasting vegetables. My husband had the burger that had a really beefy flavour. I had the Tart Tatin for desert and was so engrossed in it I forgot to take a picture 😋 The staff are very friendly and their service and the beautiful surroundings make it a special dining experience. Thanks today to Cole, Edie and Aaron for their wonderful service today.

Excellent Sunday lunch x 4. Service friendly & efficient. Very busy including one large group. Sound level in restaurant made it difficult for anyone who had a loss of hearing.

Have visited a few times now and still loving the renovation. It's much more welcoming that it was before with a lively atmosphere. Food is nice and the pub half of the building is really cosy and allows dogs. Book ahead of time if you are looking to dine.

Last minute decision to go out as a family Had a tidy meal just what we ordered. The only things we would say is that the quality of the meat was let down by the poor wine. Went for the Malbec. Great that trying to sell a sustainable product but it was not served well it was chilled and it was not a significant taste for the price at £35 per bottle I would expect a DOC wine to prove sustainability and authenticity of where the wine is sourced. And for £35 I would definitely except a wine that taste better. Kids meals were poor. Burnt small burger and cold chips. Was eaten out of hunger rather than taste They also need to sort out the lighting

We spent our 2nd anniversary there yesterday. It was an amazing evening. We loved how friendly the staff were and how they congratulated us. I would highly recommend going to the griffin. It's an amazing venue with great food, great staff and an amazing atmosphere. We will back next year to celebrate our 3rd anniversary.

Delicious food for a group meal in December. Friendly staff.

Lovely atmosphere and fantastic service. Food very good and great to see some choice for vegan & gluten free people! Cauliflower starter very tasty. 5 people 3 courses with cocktails 🍸 £260. Just wish they gave the option to pay cash. We will be back 🍽️🍾🥂

Perfect spot for Sunday lunch after a lovely walk and dogs are welcome too!! Had a perfect spot next to the fire to warm us up too. We will be back

Today's visit was our second where we were hoping for a repeat of the great experience first time, and we were not disappointed. Lovely atmosphere, very good food, superb friendly staff, all of them. And there aren't many places that would come around with a plate of Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes a few minutes after the mains had been served, asking if anyone wanted more. A simple but very effective touch. Very well done The Griffin Inn for serving up a wonderful experience, it's guaranteed we'll be back 👍.

Fab pub/restaurant in beautiful countryside....dogs welcome.

All absolutely excellent - great service including recommendations from the menu, which we went for and were delighted with.

Dined here recently with family. One person behind the not particularly busy bar making coffees. No welcome. My wife had to track down someone else to serve us drinks before we took our table, as we wanted a drink in the bar first. My starter of beetroot and mackerel look and tasted good, could have done with some toast or a cracker and at £9.50 seemed expensive. My fish and chips were awful, both were barely luke warm and the fish very greasy (I assumed the oil wasn’t hot enough) despite someone else paying I had to send it back, if it was just warm I would have eaten it. Ben, who served us was very helpful. The Malbec I had wasn’t good enough for £35. I don’t know where to suggest as an alternative nearby but I would make the effort to go to the Hammer and Pincers at Wymeswold.

Myself and my family visited on Boxing Day and there was a wonderful Morris dancing show on in the courtyard, which was obviously very popular as the place was so busy! Samantha and her team delivered a wonderful service despite how busy it was. So nice to visit somewhere and see the staff smiling even though they are rushed off their feet! Samantha strives to make every customers day special. Can’t wait to revisit.

Lovely Pub recently refurbished to a good level. Great atmosphere. Stand outs were the friendly staff, bar and table service, quality and taste of food for all 4 of us and every course. Extra mile was coming round mid course with tray of extra roast spuds, if required. Good value for money. We will 100% be back...p.s looks to be a great outdoor area for the Spring/Summer. the only minor gripe was drinks to table service a bit slow otherwise 5star.

Thank you to all the team for the great service on Saturday 21st December who catered for our family Christmas get together, we had visited before the take over and were amazed at the transformation in the styling but not surprised after also visiting the Tap & Run

Family get together before Christmas. Great good, great choice of drinks and really dog friendly

Went on the Saturday evening just before Christmas for my daughter’s birthday. FYI if you sign up to their newsletter you get a free bottle of Prosecco on your birthday, result! They also confirmed we could bring in our own birthday cake without any extra charge to us, which was great. The Griffin Inn is beautiful, the decor is spot on and there was a lovely cosy buzz about the place. Owing to the time of year it was very busy, that said the waiting staff were attentive, happy and polite. We got there early and had a drink at the bar, cocktails were spot on, and they do a good draft Madri. They even topped up my coke at not extra charge. We sat at a round table, which I prefer, near the bar. Everything so far was lovely. Unfortunately what let things down was the food, which was not as good as it could or should have been, especially at the price point. I had fish and chips, but they were not very flavoursome, and a little dry. Other members of my family (of 6), felt their choices were also pretty underwhelming. No one choice was great. The venue is outstanding, but our expectations weren’t met food wise at all, had a nice time though.

Just went with a party of 7 of us for my father in laws birthday. Wow, the food was great, service was outstanding. My father in law was made a fuss off. Well done the team at the Griffin. have already booked again

I had not visited this restaurant in quite some time and it was pleasant before, however Saturday we arrived and it was completely transformed and simply amazing!!! Lovely staff, perfect food and amazing customer service & Cocktails... We were so very impressed! Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Great place to dine. The restaurant is lovely but the outside dining and seating area is a beautiful setting for a nice drink and some food. Would definitely recommend!

A great menu, a lovely lunch and excellent service.

First time venturing out to The Griffin Inn, the venue itself was very nice along with the staff. The food was disappointing, I would recommend not ordering the pumpkin gnocchi, it was not pleasant or edible and had to be sent back, we ordered again but no money reduced off the bill. The atmosphere was a little loud, we could hardly hear our friends talk. Unfortunately we will not be rushing to go back to The Griffin Inn anytime soon

We went to the Griffin as part of a birthday surprise. The atmosphere was fantastic and the soft music playing in the background set it off perfectly. Service was great. The staff were friendly and really attentive. I had the Double smash burger and it did not disappoint. I have had the burger the last three times we’ve been and it really is the best burger I have had. The chocolate Torte has got to be tasted to see how good it is, it really is the best! Thanks again 😊

Perfect location for a family Sunday Lunch. Staff, Food and atmosphere were all brilliant

Great Experience liked the setting and will go back again

We went for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The food and staff were excellent 👍

I have been coming here for years and was sceptical to return following the new ownership . However I have been here three times since it had its refurbishment and enjoy it more each time. The food has been 10/10 every time and the service is fantastic! The team clearly know what they are doing and I have recommended the Griffin Inn to many of my family and friends. Will be back soon !

Very nice restaurant that has clearly had some money spent on it. The surroundings are pretty fantastic. Service was very attentive and the food was also great. Wish I could have tried some more of the wines whilst I was there to get a proper feeling for the quality and pricing. Outside areas are also very nice. I bet the beer garden is packed in summer!

Great venue, food and drink offering. Not great service when the empty glasses are left on the table and I have to take them to the bar… I was even watched by a member of staff. Not sure serving 3 small pieces of meat for the Cricketers Roast is that acceptable. Not for £25… then charging for all the extras which I had anyway, wanted to try. Nice touch coming round to offer a second yorkies and potatoes. Just not sure the value for money is there. Meats were cooked lovely and the crispy cauliflower starter was awesome. £91 for 2 drinks, 2 starters, 2 roasts and 2 sides.

I booked this property months ago, just to have a rude lady calling today to say that they need to cancel because its been overbooked and the other party booked 3 rooms so they have to cancel my booking. I told her this is not acceptable as we booked for a wedding and its in 11 days her answer to me was that she is not calling to argue with me but just to let me know that they are cancelling and that they were trying to call me many times-not true. I had a message on 21st Oct from them on booking dot com, which I didn't see (i already had an email confirmation so wasn't checking, that the booking was confirmed) stating that they having some essential maintenance not that they over overbooked. So with 11 days to the wedding we are left without accommodation. I would avoid booking this place so you don't have to panic on a last minute like me now.

We visited for a friend’s birthday and what a treat ! Gorgeous surroundings and lovely food. We had a mix of starters and mains including goats cheese tart and garlic and chilli king prawns. It was a busy Friday lunch time but the manager Sammy made sure we were well looked after and helped us to make a great friends birthday a fabulous one. Great food and fab service.

We popped in to book a particular table well in advance. On the night we arrived staff seemed annoyed we requested to sit where we had pre booked. However after being advised service would be slow because of our choice of table it was in fact really good and we had a lovely time. The wait staff were lovely. Food wasn’t fabulous for the price but it wasn't bad either.

The Griffin Inn is a little gem in the most beautiful village. We went for Sunday lunch and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Firstly, the staff, although very young, were very welcoming, friendly and professional. Now the food - this was one of the best Sunday lunches I have ever had. The food was hot, very tasty and they came round with extra roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. Extra gravy was brought out with the meal too. We all had roast beef which was cooked to perfection. For dessert we had the roasted peach Eton mess - again very delicious and a good portion. With a glass of wine it worked out at £42pp with a good tip, which I felt was good value for money for the quality of the food. One little criticism, please add roasted parsnips to the meal and it would be absolutely perfect!! A special mention has to go to the lovely staff. We were well looked after and nothing was too much trouble. My friend is disabled and they opened the side door onto the car park so she had easy access to the car. All the young people were very friendly and helpful and they all seemed to be really enjoying their jobs. They were well trained in being attentive but not overly so, opening a bottle of wine properly and great customer service! The ambiance is very modern in an old pub with some nice touches. The toilets were immaculate and beautifully appointed. I would definitely recommend this venue and look forward to returning on my next trip to the Midlands xx

Very poor food. Was surprised how bad it actually was and very poor value for money. The staff were all excellent and efficient but that’s no substitute for terrible food. Would never visit again or recommend to anyone.

Delicious food with lovely portion sizes Friendly staff Would have been 5 stars for atmosphere as amazing guitarist but where we sat was rather noisy. Definitely would visit again! Highly recommend

Great place, great food and great staff. What more could you want.

Lovely breakfast and cocktails, in beautiful surrounds, was a lovely birthday treat for a friend, the bottle of Prosecco was a lovely thought and she was thrilled. Good friend service, we really enjoyed our relaxing morning.

Nice setting but a bit cold even though the open fire was great to look at.

Excellent lunch great friendly staff great food & atmosphere new refurbishment can definitely recommend will be back

The food was just average and overpriced. I won't be returning.

A very pleasant evening for my husbands birthday

Lovely food, great service and easily accessible for wheelchair.

Quite pricey upmarket pub. The restaurant is noisy. Food is good, service very attentive.

My partner and I had a wonderful evening dining out, made truly special by the exceptional service from Sebastian. From the moment we arrived, his warm and friendly nature put us at ease. What stood out the most was the personal touch—Sebastian remembered our lovely greyhound, Harvey, from a previous visit. This small, thoughtful gesture really touched us and made the evening even more memorable. Beyond his warmth, Sebastian was incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with expert recommendations that were spot-on. Every dish he suggested was absolutely perfect, reflecting his deep understanding of the cuisine and our preferences. Sebastian’s attentiveness, combined with his genuine friendliness, made the whole experience feel special. He turned a simple evening meal into something truly memorable. We look forward to returning soon, especially to see Sebastian’s familiar, smiling face!

Food and the staff were lovely, the setting is gorgeous too

Absolutely lovely. Will be back with friends. The food was so nice and perfectly done.

What a beautiful venue and fabulous service. The food however is lack-lustre abd disappointing. We had 2 smash burgers and 2 fish pies ... the fish pie was the worst I've ever eaten (more onions tvan fish/seafood). Need to get the recipe books out and have a read!

Fabulous meal, great service. Love it here. Great for a special meal but relaxed and informal.

We came for a meal after a long muddy walk which felt like a mistake given everyone was so dressed up! Nonetheless, the staff were delightful and did not make us feel out of place. The food was ok, but not worth its price point. The olives were rubbish and half the starters were clearly out of a jar. The main courses were nice, but nothing we couldn't cook at home (which makes £20 a main pretty painful). Lovely atmosphere but couldn't justify the price.

We absolutely love 'The Griffin' also so friendly and attentive, food is amazing .. nothing is too much trouble

Booked the Griffin for a celebratory meal for my son's 21st birthday. The menu choice is excellent, lovely atmosphere and the recently renovated dining area is a beautiful setting and everywhere was spotless. What set the Griffin apart for us was the staff - so friendly and helpful and genuinely seemed happy in their work. They even popped a candle in my son's dessert and sang him Happy Birthday! 10/10

A very good meal food was excellent and so was the service and could not be more helpful found a place for the dog as well.

Highly recommend The Griffin for Sunday Lunch! We ate at around 5pm and wow! It was so, so good! All three courses were incredible! Portion sizes were huge, plenty of gravy too!! Essential for our family! The service was great and they really helped accommodate my 11 month old daughter for her first roast dinner! Great atmosphere and beautiful venue!

First visit . The pub has been transformed. It has been refurbished beautifully. The food , service and atmosphere were fantastic. No hesitation in recommending The Griffin .

These folks know what excellent customer service is! So refreshing to deal with people who are warm and friendly. We chose from the lunch menu - everything tasted and looked delicious. Shall revisit soon.

We had a meal at this place this evening. The service was absolutely outstanding! Nothing was too much trouble. I love lots of vegetables with my meal and when I asked the waiter the size of the portion he kindly went the second mile and brought me a second portion of veg free of charge. All the staff were warm and attentive without being intrusive. We had a short local power cut while we were there and there were immediate apologies and battery lanterns bought to the table. We were updated at regular intervals to the situation with the power, even though it was no fault of the restaurant. The food was of a good standard and well presented. The log fire in the restaurant was welcoming and created a lovely ambience which was matched by the courteous staff who could not do enough for us. We ended our meal with 2 coffees, one of which was cold because the machine had not warmed up sufficiently since power cut. This was politely replaced with a steaming hot one immediately. When we drew attention to the fact that there was only one coffee on the bill, we were told that this was because the first one was cold! If you want a lesson in excellent in courteous hospitality then these guys could teach you a lesson or two! Will definitely return there again!

Went for Sunday lunch, Beef was well cooked and very tasty. Roast potatoes were not cooked enough unfortunately slightly on the under cooked side and not at all crispy. The dessert was good the crumble served to the table was tasty. Not sure why our bowls were so small compared to others around us on other tables. Seemed expensive for the size of portion given to our table. Table next to us not so much.

Lovely restaurant and pub, Service was perfect, food was delicious, varied and priced fairly.

Beautifully refurbished and after hearing lots of positive reviews we were very excited to go for a Sunday lunch. The staff were very friendly and great with our young daughter - one thing I would recommend is taking your own plate if you have a little one as food is served on a normal ceramic plate which is not a good idea for a young 1 year old. The Sunday lunch was ok. Staff came around offering additional Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes which was great, but the roast potatoes were very dry and hard. I had the beef and felt I didn’t get a lot of meat on my plate which was a shame. The desserts were lovely though. If I was to return it wouldn’t be for a Sunday lunch as it’s very expensive an ok dish, maybe I’d give the normal menu a go to see if that’s any better. Edit - we returned to try the normal menu. The selection was quite small, but we all had different items. The appetisers were delicious - would highly recommend the honey chorizo to anyone! The fish and chips was nice, it was served with fries and mushy peas. The desserts again were lovely and the staff again were above and beyond.

Our first visit today. My son lives locally and suggested this for Sunday lunch. First impression was great on entering with a live music entertainer. Class venue with very well trained staff. The food was really top notch and every course was delivered quickly. Can’t recommend this place enough and shall be back on our next trip from Scotland.

Went for a meal with family including 15 month old granddaughter Everyone was so friendly, food and service superb 2nd visit and it won't be the last

Outstanding Celebrating together before we get married everything was perfect the food atmosphere and the staff are amazing

Absolutely lovely venue inside and out recently refurbished to a high standard. Food, service and ambience really nice so good to see such happy staff 🤩

First time visiting the newly refurbished pub and loved it. Lovely atmosphere. Food is delicious (still thinking about those truffle fries!), great variety on the menu. Service by the lovely Shannon was excellent. Will definitely be back!
