The Half Moon in Ryedale

Lovely little pub very cosy, excellent food good beer and friendly staff

Excellent ale and friendly welcome

Great pub staff berry helpful and welcoming first time visiting last sat night and locals berry friendly too definitely worth a visit if passing

Excellent real ales. Lovely country pub. I would highly recommend.

Lovely village pub, locals very welcoming and staff couldn’t do enough for you. Will most definitely come back!!!

Me and my partner came into here on a Monday evening with our dog. The owners and locals were fantastic and the log fire made it a lovely evening.

Called in tonight in search of a relaxed dinner. A warm welcome and log burner. Fab honest pub food just - what the doctor ordered! We will be back.

Delicious Sunday lunch - beautifully tender beef and pork, fluffy big home-made Yorkie, plenty of veg and gravy. Just hit the spot perfectly!

We were staying in Acklam and in search of a drink. We arrived at the half moon inn and were welcomed by an extremely nice group of people. The owners, Neil and Carol, were very friendly and a lot of fun. We came for just a few drinks and ended up staying late into the evening. Some brilliant beer, some great characters, and some charming dogs. Thoroughly recommend.

Very nice pub. Very well priced.

Delightful old fashioned pub in beautiful Yorkshire countryside run by a lovely couple We went for Sunday Lunch today and it was beautifully cooked and far more than we Could manage - great value for money and at just over a Tenner each - dog friendly Too which is a plus!

We booked a table for four as we were staying locally. It was our first visit but won’t be our last! The pub internally is immaculate, with really good Covid-19 practices in place. We ordered three steak and ale pies and one scampi, various drinks and a bottle of wine. The pie was absolutely delicious and I’m assured the scampi was too. We went on to have a dessert, one sticky toffee pudding and one raspberry cheesecake, which again were both delicious. I can’t recommend this pub highly enough. It has a really lovely atmosphere, really fabulous food and was very reasonably priced. All four of us said we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thanks so much for the wonderful food and service!

Stumbled across possibly my most favourite pub ever… and I’ve been to a lot! Fantastic food, friendly welcoming staff and relaxing atmosphere. The best part, dog friendly! It’s worth a visit!

My first time in The Half Moon lnn very helpful people the meal was very very good such a friendly atmosphere with all the people 💯

Lovely and friendly pub with great food and pub dogs! What more could you want?

Beaut pint of hand pulled tetleys 👍

Off the beaten track, the Half Moon is well worth the couple of extra miles for an evening meal or a Sunday lunch. The inn is cosy and clean, with a warm welcome from Neil and Carol, and serves excellent home-cooked pub classics. From a good range of traditional options, their exceptional steak and ale pie is my favourite. Depending on the day of your visit you’ll find a specials board with curries, fish and chips, tasty steaks of various sizes or a proper Sunday roast beef dinner. With very well kept Tetley’s to wash it down, what’s not to like? The well stocked bar usually has another guest ale e.g. Osset Blond or a Wold Top beer. A limited takeaway service has been available during lockdown 2 but I am already looking forward to sitting down again next month to enjoy a pie and a pint - cheers!!

Amazing steak and beer is always perfectly kept! Lovely landlord / landlady - highly recommended! Thank you!!!

We live locally and had not been in this pub for years. Following a recommendation, 4 of us enjoyed a great evening in a very friendly atmosphere. The steak was excellent, as were all the tasty bits served with it. The men very much enjoyed the beer. We were really pleasantly surprised just how nice this place is and wonder why we have not been for so long?! This is definitely the place to visit if you are in the area and you want a delicious meal in a pleasant country pub with good beer and friendly welcoming staff. Do hope the word spreads about this place, they certainly deserve to do well. Thanks Half Moon!

Best Sunday lunch no question - consistent - fish and chips Friday is also excellent! Lovely friendly staff !

Went for Sunday lunch yesterday, our first time there.First impressions of the actual place were very good. Everything done properly with regards to Covid. The lady behind the bar, the owner I think, was very welcoming and showed us to our table. Because of Covid, everything was table service. The roast beef and all the trimmings was absolutely cooked to perfection, the beef was very tender. I can honestly say that the roast potatoes were the best I’ve ever had eating out. Golden and crunchy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. There were 4 different veggies , all good and plenty of gravy and of course home made Yorkshire puds.I didn’t have a desert, but my husband had the homemade lemon cheesecake. He said it was delicious. It certainly looked good.Future Sunday lunches out will be taken at the Half Moon of that I have no doubt.Highly recommended.

Lovely staff and a friendly welcome. Great atmosphere and brilliant pub, the Sunday lunch is one of the best I’ve ever had! Epic roast potatoes, delicious veg and giant Yorkshire puddings!

Went to the halt moon today for one quick drink, and ended up staying all afternoon til late night. The cook(Neil) and his jolly partner (Carol) Make you feel like we should stay and believe me it’s the best company you can have....had a brilliant day/night with these guys

This is a proper village pub, warm and welcoming and treasured by the locals. We decided to indulge on the steak night, there’s a good range of sizes from 8oz. to a massive 22oz. Everything was beautifully cooked, in our case medium rare was spot on with great chips and sides. Definitely recommended!

Spot on! We stayed in Aclam for a few nights and ate in the local village pub. Despite being a couple of southerners we were made to feel so welcome by Neil and Carol (and the locals) that we went back again the next night too. They've really thought about Covid in the current climate and although a limited menu the food was lovely and homemade and the ale really well kept. Curry night on a Tuesday and then steak and ale pie on the Weds ready and waiting for us after a long days walking in the Wolds. We couldn't want for anymore. Hope you give them a try.

Had a great night atmosphere very welcoming. Brilliant steak I really recommend the Half Moon Acklam. Fantastic hosts Neil and Carol

We have an annual Christmas Dinner and this year we chose the Half Moon.On arrival we received a warm welcome from the staff at this cosy little country pub hidden away in the Wolds south of Malton. It was a freezingly, bitter cold day, but the log burner was roaring away keeping the pub nice and warm. We had pre-chosen our meals from their Christmas Menu. Between the eight of us we had turkey, beef and salmon with all the trimmings and eight different vegatables all perfectly cooked and presented. All of this was served up quickly and most important to us - hot - and there was plenty of it. We had Chistmas pudding with brandy sauce and lemon tart with cream for deserts, yummy, and coffee. The staff were wonderfull and with this quality of food and service along with reasonable prices this venue offers great value for money. We will most definitely go there again.

It was brilliant love the place and the landlady. Food was lovely! 100% be going again!

Lovely little pub, good food at reasonable prices, with options for dairy free.

We stopped here for a quick tea out as staying close by. Very pleasant service and a nice menu, serving home cooked down to earth food, perfect! My husband had steak pie and was very impressed, he was even offered extra gravy during the meal and I had a spinach cannelloni which was very nice. Very pleasant lady cooking and serving and checking we were happy with everything.

Great place to go. Nice little village.

Really lovely lunch.very pleasant landlord.worth the trip there.

Beautifully prepared, cooked and served Home made Steak Pie and generously large Gammon Steak.

Great service, excellent value, enjoyable entertainment (we went on a Friday night) and food was lovely. We both had steak and all the trimmings and they were the best steaks we have ever had. We asked where they were from and were told they were from a local farmer in newton on derwent...they were cooked to perfection! For dessert we had Granny Apple, caramel tart which was homemade and was yummy, it rounded off the evening well.The reasons we didn't give a score of five out of five is because the chips were slightly under done and the pub doesn't take plastic, only cash. However, we will be back very soon and looking forward to it.

Great food and service thank you . Had a great 60th meal 🌟

York Guzzler was very good and the Ossett Brewery Blonde was superb. Six of us chose five different main courses and all were good and served quickly. Deserts were also good, as was the bill, very reasonable indeed. Will we be going back, no doubt about it

This is little gem. Hosts are welcoming, beers are good and the food is excellent!! I'm very sceptical about steak pies but I'd rate this one above all. The menu here is not dressed up with "cheffy" stuff. It's purely good quality home cooking. Try it. You'll be back!!

Super friendly staff and scrummy meals. Check out their facebook page for events and music nights....

Excellent service absolutely out standing friendly atmosphere

Fantastic little pub, We stayed locally and each evening visited by far by pub in this area.Locals all very friendly and happy to chat and pass on recommendations for places to visit.Good selection of real ales & lagersStaff very friendly owners were away for first couple night see visited and lady behind bar was so nice then last night owners were back made us so welcome.Was our son's birthday on last night so we had meal and all of what we had was simply beautiful all home made and fresh would highly recommend the steak & ale pie was best ever had.Food very reasonable priced didn't have puddings as we had birthday cake which they brought out for us and all in pub sang with us but puss I seen going out looked fab.We will definitely visit again when in area.

Great food all fresh and honemade

We found this village pub after looking at the reviews, and were not disappointed, the bar manages is very friendly, and they seem to have different things on for the villagers each night, as well as serving good very reasonable priced food, not a very big menu, but most food is homemade. Would recommend this little pub, for a straight forward meal at a good price.

what a find! Lovely cosy village pub in a wonderful setting-friendly welcome and great atmosphere.The food was superb, cooked to order and was delightful. We will most certainly be back working our way through the menu! Would highly recommend.

We stumbled across the Half Moon Inn at the end of a long and busy day at Flamingoland and were delighted with what we discovered. Tony the landlord couldn't have been more helpful. We were the only diners there but were given a friendly welcome as soon as we arrived and were served attentively throughout our meal which was excellent. Three of us had the steak and ale pie which was excellent and the chips and vegetables that came with it and the spinach and ricotta cannelloni was very tasty too.

My wife and I make a point of calling here on a Monday evening when returning to West Yorkshire after visiting Bridlington. They have a Country Music Night, as well as the best Gammon I have had in many a year, and once more we were not disappointed.Highly recommended.

A very warm and welcoming country pub. Well worth a visit.

Excellent meal old hosts back definitely not closed, great night out

We stopped off for a meal on the way home from a short break. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and even though the menu was limited, the food was excellent. My wife had stuffed chicken breast and new potatoes and I had gammon steak and chips. Proper home cooking! If we're ever in the area again I wouldn't hesitate to revisit.

This is a little gem really friendly serving great food and beer. Set in a small village in the Yorkshire Wolds. Priced very reasonable for both food and drink. Well worth a visit.

CAN, T BE BEAT FOR TASTE OR PRICE

Been tonight with some friends and had a lovely meal..beautiful sirloin steak with home made chips and salad..a very friendly landlord and landlady who did the cooking..a lovely country pub with lovely decor too and a grand wood burning stove..will defo be going back there again.

So glad Margaret and Tony are back at the pub, we have missed coming over the last few years. We both had the Steak and Ale pie which was utterly delicious the pastry was perfect along with the veggies and the gravy what can I say it was the best!! Look forward to our next meal. Thank you

Two couples en route to a nearby Hotel stumbled across this Country Pub and called in for lunchtime drinks and snacks. Very quiet, decent beer and friendly staff. However our meals were unimpressive, despite us being the only diners present. Wouldn't rush back.

Set in a beautiful village within some stunning countryside this is a very traditional country pub. The food is good, loved the sharing platter, I had sausage and mash with lots of veg, all beautifully cooked, well worth the effort to get to.

Just ate here and between us ate roast beef dinner, steak pie, carrot cake and sticky toffee pudding. Cannot fault anything the food was fantastic, all home made and plentiful. Fantastic friendly service too. Will definitely be coming back. Totally faultless.

Lovely country pub, nice food and reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Había alrededor de 12 de nosotros para el almuerzo el domingo de Pascua. La comida estaba bien, aunque nada del otro mundo. Sopa de verduras que tenía el país para comenzar y sabía como sopa de paquete (estoy seguro que era) seguido por tradicional carne asada, etc. Las verduras eran abundantes y la carne estaba bien. La cerveza era excelente y el personal era amable. El pub podría haber sido un poco más caliente (literalmente).

Visitamos en una noche muy tranquila, pero la bienvenida marzo era cálida, y la relación calidad-precio comida abundante y genial. Sin duda volveré a este pub está en una zona preciosa y merece apoyo.

Nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos tan pronto como llegamos allí gran variedad de comida que tenía champiñones con ajo para empezar todo caliente y muy sabroso. Comida principal tenía pastel de carne con cerveza con patatas fritas y salsa de verduras comida encantadora mi esposa tenía patatas fritas y ensalada de piña y sobresaliente de col y dio el mismo comentario. Desierto mi esposa pudin de nuevo disfrutamos. En general, la comida caliente sabroso y abundante

Tenía dos platos con mi familia y pasamos una estupenda comida.

El primer truco para encontrar el Half Moon en Acklam está negociando su camino a través de un laberinto de estrechas de tierra - caminos cubiertos con muy pocas señales.

Visited Sunday evening and had steak and ale pie, which was very tasty and plenty of it.Really rich gravy and tasty. Plenty of seating available and the pub is nice and warm and cosy.Even though its a short distance from main a roads you feel in the middle of nowhere.Lovely staff friendly and at tentative. Will be calling again very soon. Couple of nice hand pulled ales.

Good food and very friendly staff will go again

Great food and drinks lovelly log burner

If you fancy a trip into some beautiful countryside and a bite to eat at a friendly country pub then I recommend this spot, situated between Malton, York and Driffield. We went for a family lunch on a Saturday. There were a couple of other tables of diners but it was fairly quiet at that time. The landlady took our order and was very pleasant. Everyone enjoyed the meal. The homemade steak and ale pie I had was delicious. The menu has plenty of choice including various vegetarian options. One table had their dog with them and we'll be doing the same next time. The pub is having some renovation work done so I look forward to seeing what they've done to it when we return.

Went to the half moon today at 1430 and were very warmly welcomed by the landlady who was also more than happy for us to take our dog in too.Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.A couple of different real ales that were kept perfectly and pulled just as well. Decent selection of food including starters, mains and desserts.I had sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection and very very tasty.The other two meals were haddock, chips and peas and lasagne with chips and salad. Everything was just right.I assume that the chef was the landlord who came into the pub for a chat. Very friendly and I complimented him on the food, especially the steak.We will definately be returning very soon.Thanks to all.

Visited this smashing pub in our campervan. We were most welcome and allowed to stay over in the car park. We were joined by family so there were six of us plus dog. The pub is dog friendly.We ordered a variety of main courses which arrived in good time. All were good quality home cooked dishes. The service was excellent and efficient. The landlord and landlady were really nice people.The beer was very good too.We shall definitely go again.

Four of us plus 4 month old baby visited, had lasagne, gammon & cumberland sausage followed by sticky toffee pudding, chocolate cake, carrot cake & jam roly poly - lovely food & very attentive, helpful hosts. We would definitely go again!

We had family to stay who are vegetarians and they were very happy with the vegetarian menu and the children particularly loved the lasagna and pizza. We enjoyed the lamb chop special. We have visited the Half Moon many times and are delighted with the food and a warm welcome guaranteed. There are often special events such as music nights, quiz and on a Wednesday there are a few bridge players.

Went here on a Saturday night we had a nice bowl of soup.... Nice mains... Puddings nice also... This pubs off the beaten track but food is good staff are nice and they take taste card without a fuss.. 5 stars we will be back thanks for nice meal and nice welcome Homemade food and good value and large portions worth going off beaten track for thanks again

Although at first sight it seems an out of the way place to go for lunch, it isn't. Once there you are given a warm greeting. We ordered drinks and were then given plenty of time to make a selection from the menu. The food was very nice and we all enjoyed what we had ordered. The service was good and it was a pleasant way to spend Sunday Lunchtime.

Used a 2 course meal for two Groupon voucher which was good value. A varied, real, wholesome and sensible food menu including lasagne, fish, steak pie etc.Great food, huge portions, friendly service.

Absolutely brilliant. Great staff.very homely.the foods excellent and the portions are very hearty. Infact be prepared to be rolled out.

went to yorkshire for few days had a groupon offer we chose the steak and ale pie was huge meal and very tasty as was the pudding the owners were so friendly came from notts i would recommend a detour to go sample this place.

This is a very quaint pub serving lovely wholesome food, good portions and excellent value for money, quiet but the Landlady was brilliant, very welcoming and extremely clean and tidy. I wish local residents would support local businesses, this applies to all rural areas not just this. It is such a shame.... we will absolutely visit again..

We went for a meal on a Tuesday evening and loved it. Staff really friendly and couldn't do enough for us! Soup was freshly made and tasty, good sized portions, fresh warm bread. We both had steak and ale pie with chips and peas for main and its was lovely! Loads of tender meat which really scrumptious! We have had other family members that have had meals here and also enjoy it, they have told me to roast dinners are great. Would recommend a visit! A lovely little pub in the heart of Yorkshire! A true Yorkshire gem!

Took 4 of my grandchildren to Half Moon Inn Acklam ages ranging from 2 to 10 years, the pub was warm dispite the wind and rain outside, Food was good and well cooked suitable for children and adults alike. Even managed a few games of pool as we asked for a break between main course and dessert which even had gluten free carrot cake on the menu. So nice to find somewhere suitable for children . Also benifited from 50% off food with taster card very good value . Will return

We have visited the Half Moon twice recently, once as a couple and once with friends. On both occasions we all had a thoroughly good meal. Our friends eat out a lot, and they felt that the Sunday Lunch was as good as any they have had. The pub is to say the least "off the beaten track", but is in delightful countryside on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds. You can tell how rural it is - as we drove away out of the village, a large fox trotted across the road in front of us! The landlady was very pleasant and welcoming, and our waitress likewise. We will definitely go again. Drinks and meals all very reasonably priced.

Went in a prty of four on a Groupon offer. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Food provided was very good and quite large helpings. The owner Karen and her staff could not do enough for us. Very impressed with the food that we got. Definitely worth a visit

We booked a 2 course meal for 2 with a Groupon deal and then added two extra people to the reservation. After travelling through lots of countryside we arrived at 5pm and parked in the car park at the back- a bit rough and ready looking up a steep slope. The outside looks nice for a country pub. On entering we thought the place smelled very musty, foisty and of ancient cigarettes and looked in need of a revamp. The place was empty as it has just opened. Our reservation caused a minor problem as it was on the computer but not written in the book. Friendly staff who took our order, explained the menu and brought the drinks. A good selection of music playing which was modern pop and then classic 60s songs. The food arrived after 20-30 mins and looked delicious. The portions were huge. A light snack of a chicken panini could have fed two! We also ordered the gammon, a starter of garlic mushrooms, half chicken, lasagne (best I have tasted) and then a chocolate brownie to take away. The chips with the meals were home cooked and crispy but just too much and nobody could eat it all. The gammon steak was duly wrapped up to take away without problem. The total cost with the voucher, 4 drinks and 2 extra meals was an amazing £26. Friendly staff and locals that arrived around 6pm as there was a charity night on, which would have been good to stay for but was too far away from home. A much better experience than we initially expected and we would return if in the vicinity.

Booked this restaurant on a Groupon deal for a meal this evening. We both had steak and ale pie with chips. The meal was delicious. Excellent choice of menu options, good value for money in a charming welcoming pub. The desserts were off the scale excellent. I'm looking forward to going back again.!

Booked this restaurant on a Groupon Deal for a meal today at 4pm.Had the Starters of Garlic Mushrooms and Roast Beef Dinner and my Husband had the Stuffed peppers and the Roast Pork.Staff very friendly and welcoming,would definitely recommend and looking to return.Many Thanks.

The pub from the outside does not look very aesthetically pleasant and welcoming. It probably looks a little better inside. No proper outside seating area. There are a couple of picnic benches but in a sorry state. The food however was very tasty and wholesome. Not a huge selection to choose from but ample. I did find the staff very friendly and welcoming. Would I eat at this establishment again? Yes I would.

Excellent food, good choice at reasonable prices combined with friendly and efficient staff. Further visits will follow!

We were regulars at the lovely village pub until the owner let it to a couple from out of Yorkshire. Reading the reviews below I can only hope it has changed into better hands. We had the worst food ever, the pub was cold with no atmosphere but with lots of wifi points so you can plug in your lap top??? why, we gave the place a second chance after a year and it was no better. Why do folk think its easy to run a pub?? food was 3rd rate and so was the service and the attitude when we complained was also mind numbingly unacceptable!

We have just with friends had a lovely evening and meal at this typically English country pub. We used a Groupon voucher and two of the group of four paid a small supplement for steaks. The meals and sweets were absolutely first class and the two men had the guest beers which they said were fantastic. The final bill was very reasonable and We as a group give this pub an absolute thumbs up and definitely will return.Thanks to the staff for a great night!

I ate here with my wife and her parents. The pub itself is in a nice location - out of the way. Although i wouldnt say the pub was anything special inside, the food was good and the beer was excellent - particularly the Guzzler (a must try).Nothing to complain about in regards to the food, if i was being picky id say the veg was slightly over cooked - but as i say that would have been picky. We enjoyed the meal - really need to go back for the steak night. Also on the plus side, as we had travelled there in our camper van and the in laws had theirs - we were kindly allowed to stay in the car park. Which we could enjoy the beer even more so.Only one thing is, please pick up the dog mess in the car park. Will definately be returning.

We were staying locally with our son and daughter in law who had a group on voucher for The Half Moon so he booked Sunday Lunch.We all ordered the Roast Beef and had pre- lunch drinks. They had a choice of 3 real ales - very good for such a small pub - and when I enquired about the draught cider for the ladies was offered a small taster to sample. The local draught bitter was very good.The roast dinner was good; the beef tender and succulent, the vegetables al dente, including battered parsnip. One slight grouse, we would have preferred slightly more roast potatoes and less mash.Puddings were also very good. Service and attention commendable. Only two other couples dining there which is a shame. I have paid a lot more for Sunday lunch - that is the menu price, not the group on one - and not had as good a meal.All in all a very nice, yet small, country pub.

As a regular of the half moon inn which i think speaks for itself i'v always found the food,drinks and service to be of a high standard, have been to a couple of their themed nights which were fantastic. Their open mike nights are a great evening out with some great talents on show,will definitely be back.

Living just a few miles away from this lovely country pub we don't really take time to visit places that are local but glad we did with The Half Moon at Acklam.We went for sunday lunch, although there was a great selection of other meals should you not fancy a sunday lunch and all priced very resonable, we had beef sunday lunch and what a plate full we got, all fresh veggies,homemade yorkshire's and the beef was so tender it probably is one of the best sunday lunches weve had for a while.We will defo return to this lovely village pub to try some of the other meals on offer, also the landlady and landlord are very cheery and helpful.Try for yourself you will not be disappointed if you are then there is something wrong with you!!

Visited with family. The food was lovely and a lots of it, couldn't manage it all so took some pizza home. Ignore the bad reviews. Well worth a visit.

At time of visit in Feb 2015 the Menu in my opinion was everything you want as 'PUB GRUB' being a northerner. Good selection, food good, and had fish, meat, vegetarian options and a specials board. We was very pleased with using our Groupon offer coupons and said we would go back, and we did ! They do an open-mic night first Friday night I believe in each month, sounds great, but we couldnt make it due to other commitments in March and hope to go back to see them again soon. Would recommend. Service staff and Manageress very pleasant and portions were good.

My family and I visited here for a family birthday Sunday lunch and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! It was one of the best Sunday lunches I've ever had in a pub. The beef was melt in the mouth and all the veggies and gravy were delicious. My children all enjoyed their meals and I couldn't pick any faults with anything! We had a meal voucher so it was excellent value for money but I would be happy to pay full price for the quality of food we received. It's a small village pub with friendly, attentive staff and we will definitely be returning!

Found this lovely little pub after getting lost! We had roast beef Sunday lunch, the food was lovely, fresh veg and all the trimmings. Lovely coffee.The staff were all very nice and chatty. We would definitely go back again.

I was looking to go out for a meal with a party of seven on a Sunday lunch time. I phoned around and the Half Moon in Acklam had a table available. We entered the pub and it looked a bit dated and uncared for but we hoped the food was good. Please understand that I am not trying to "have a go" but instead I am trying to provide a factual and useful review for others. The menu looked like it had been written in the seventies and we opted for what we thought would be a good option of the Sunday Roast with my wife ordering the soup. We also ordered a bottle of white wine which was pretty awful. The food arrived and my wife gave up on the soup after only 3 spoonfuls. The roasts arrived and The turkey looked very like supermarket slices and the others not much better. One small gravy boat was provided for 6 dinners but the vegetables were ok. The waitress came and asked if everything was ok and I told her that the wine was not good and the soup was unacceptable. She apologised and walked off. I don't quite know why but we thought that the desserts might be better but they weren't. When we got the bill there was no reduction in the price for the unacceptable food or wine and I have never left half a bottle of wine in a restaurant before. Totally dreadful. I would actively discourage any others from going there for a meal. Worst meal ever in a pub.

Went last Saturday evening and was very pleased with the service and food.We had a shared platter starter which was a meal in itself and then the ribeye which was cooked to perfection, and lovely flavour.The hosts were extremely pleasant and helpful and the setting in the pub was laid out very nicely. I would recommend the food there. However it is a bit of a trek to get there and in the dark could be a bit tricky for some. There is one thing the hosts could do to help, and that is to install a couple of sensor spotlights on the car park as it's pitch black at the back.

I was given a groupon voucher as a gift so we finally managed to use it last weekend. We arrived at 7pm & it was very quiet & not very warm despite the log fire.I ordered the Sunday roast with pork & my partner ordered steak & ale pie only to find there wasn't any. He ordered the special of steak & kidney pie with chips & peas instead.The pork was two thin slices that were quite fatty & the vegetables were overcooked - apart from the roast potatoes which were lovely. The parsnips appeared to have been deep fried and the gravy was lukewarm. The pie came with veg (same as the roast) instead of chips & peas which they offered to change but it would have taken too long. Nice gravy for the pie though.Overall quite disappointing after reading other reviews.

We visited the Half Moon to use a Groupon voucher. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Our meals were well presented and very enjoyable. There is a lot of choice on the main menu plus extras on a specials board. We will certainly go back.

Visited with parents for dinner on Friday night with a voucher. In the middle of nowhere but a quaint pub and the staff were very friendly. Enjoyed the food we had, was cooked fresh and the voucher was excellent value. A nice choice of food on the menu.

visted last night for first time . lovley friendly welcome. Nice surronding . Had steak pie and it was the best I have had in a long time will be recomending to famy and friends . ingore the review that says food is awful they can not have been to same pub as rest of us !!!! bit of a treck down country lanes but well worth it not many nice country pubs left well done
