The Hatch Inn in Taunton Deane - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A fellow grandparent standing in the rain as we dropped children off at the nearby scout centre suggested The Hatch Inn when I asked him where I could find somewhere to work and maybe eat nearby in the 1.5 hours until I collected my granddaughter. Well I'm hugely grateful to him, for The Hatch Inn was a find. The staff were lovely and very helpful, the atmosphere welcoming on a miserable early evening, I managed to get some work done - but the food was just sublime. I had a smoked salmon linguini. I don't often order things I cook myself, because you develop a taste for favourites, but this one was perfection. I prefer using soured cream to creme fraiche and I think they did the same as there was a subtle sharpness to the sauce. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the salmon was plentiful in a generous and filling portion. The meal cost £15 and was excellent value for money. Some men at a nearby table said they went there as it was famous for its pies and they raved about their meal when it came. I've asked the family to book my birthday meal here in October and my husband has already chosen his pie!

Lovely little pub with delicious food, 10/10 do recommend.

Recent trip foe business but was instead a pleasure. Stunning room that was immaculate. Some people steal toiletries or towels, if I could I would've stolen the bed it was so comfortable. Love the added touch of having fresh milk available for the room for the extensive tea, coffee & hot chocolate made available inc coffee machine which won me over. Staff & owners really lovely & food excellent & fast service. Will definitely return.

very nice village pub, good room and bathroom also dog friendly. Breakfast was lovely freshly cooked with amazing eggs.

This is a really lovely hotel. We stayed for two nights. The food was gorgeous. I thoroughly recommend you stay there. Stephen W. Crawley

Absolutely fantastic Inn. Beautiful Rooms and extremely friendly owners and Staff. Cooked Breakfast included and excellent food menu for the evening meal. Pet friendly, with a Park nearby. It would be very difficult to find any faults at all. Ideally located for families ongoing travel to Plymouth Docs. Would 100 percent recommend. Thank you.

Absolutely love coming to the Hatch Inn, it’s become an annual thing. It’s in a beautiful location, food is fantastic and the staff cannot do enough. And to top it off they are dog friendly. Thanks again Hatch Inn staff.

A fabulous place to stay! Met with a lovely welcome. Lovely clean room, our dog Molly loved looking out of the window watching tractors and cars. Such a dog friendly stay. Food, excellent! Molly enjoyed all the attention and dog-treats ! Visiting again soon.

Great customer service and very well looked after by the girls, excellent food and a cracking steak. Lovely evening will be back...🍻🍽🍖

Excellent is the only way to describe our 1 night stop over, we will stay here again. Evening meal was great as was the breakfast. The ingredient quality was spot on. Everything down to the napkins has been selected to a high standard but at an affordable price. Can’t praise it any higher.

My partner and I contacted The Hatch Inn quite last minute when we decided to stay overnight on a trip to Taunton. The staff were extremely accommodating and enabled us to bring our dog. The building itself is amazing. So old and full of features. The little village is adorable and very typical old England! We found the staff to be so welcoming and our room was delightful, spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfy, the waterfall shower was heaven and we were stocked up with Yorkshire tea and biscuits! Staff couldn’t do enough for us and our dog! We were shown to our room and given a breakfast choice form to fill out! It’s hard to choose! The best thing about our stay at The Hatch Inn was the evening meal! It was faultless. Along with everything else we ate/drank and our waitress was so lovely! The smoked salmon linguine was sublime. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better…. The breakfast!!!! We will certainly be back! Extremely reasonable and an all round very pleasant stay! Thank you The Hatch Inn!

Terrific place for a few nights stay. Loved the room we stayed in. So did our dog. Not the biggest menu but everything was beautifully done. Breakfast was a great way to start the day, sets you up nicely. It was also good to stay somewhere that was dog friendly. They made our dog feel right at home.

What a find! Had to come to the area for work, with 2 colleagues from Scotland - googled for somewhere to stay nearby. The photos and other reviews looked good so booked. Truly the Hatch Inn is just wonderful. From booking (do it direct not through a booking site) the really genuine warm welcome, wonderful home cooked food…to a room that is 5 star! Cannot recommend more highly. Ask for the family room! It’s STUNNING!

Great meal and well priced £80 for 3 courses and 5 drinks for 2 dinning. Salt and pepper squid was very good as were the beef and chicken burgers. Loads of fries with the burgers and the sticky toffee pudding was Devine. On a half term break but will be back.

Lovely pub, very quick service. Staff were attentive and responsive when we were there on a hot evening with a grumpy baby. Disappointed by my onion bhaji burger. I assumed it would be a big crispy onion bhaji in a bun with mango chutney and raita but it was two patties that weren't really like onion bhajis. The bun was nice but I think there was mayo in there but not raita or chutney. I've heard it so many times - meat free food is harder to flavour, you have fewer ingredients to use but when you have very well established food conventions and ingredients, firmly in the public domain (as opposed to faffing around with aquafaba, for example) but they are left out, I'm stumped. It's also very quick and easy to make a nice onion bhaji. The chips however were very nice.

Restaurant offers imaginative choices at reasonable prices. Quite tasty but certainly the lamb main needed more meat. The pork roulade equally lacked some of the flavours in the description. We enjoyed our overnight bed and breakfast stay, the room was very comfortable and the fan provided was put to use to keep the temperature down. In room refreshments good with fresh milk readily available. Breakfast was excellent with a pleasing range of choices.

A really comfortable place to stay with a warm welcome from truly genuine owners. The room was well decorated , bed very condo and everything you need at hand. Dinner was delicious and breakfast very tasty. Well priced and such nice people .

a lovely welcome again, bar service to our room as the pub was closed huge fresh cooked breakfast in the morning to set you up for the day we will be back

Great evening with family and friends, atmosphere was welcoming, log burner was lit, service was friendly, food was spot on, recommend trying this country pub, we will be back. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Went for a meal at the Hatch as the pub nearest to our premier inn at Ruishton had stopped doing food. First night we eat off the main menu and the food was excellent. I had a really nice steak and ale pie and my colleague had the belly of pork. We enquired about returning the next night which we were told was pizza night. We did return and I had a lovely pizza. The beer was excellent and the staff were very helpful and attentive. A very positive experience.

Homely rooms and friendly staff, best breakfast ever. Really enjoyed it, great beer and food too, highly reccomend

What a lovely find. Great welcome friendly and helpful. Not open on a Monday for food but given a great recommendation to the farthings hotel along the road. Breakfast was excellent

A very warm welcome to The Hatch Inn from Clare and Tony. A beautifully place to stay. First class food served from the restaurant, including a good breakfast menu. They made my birthday weekend an absolute delight! Even lit the real log fire for me! 5 * all the way!

Had a lovely weekend at The Hatch Inn from the 16-17th October. Had an overnight stay as a present and the staff were really accommodating for our Labrador and retriever. The bedrooms are really nice and spacious and the dinner and breakfast was really good especially for the value. Will definitely stay there again if down that part of the country

We stayed here for one night on our way down to Cornwall. The evening meal was lovely and the breakfast options were really superb. Owners are really friendly and the pub/restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. We would definitely recommend and come back for another visit.

We booked four rooms at the Hatch Inn for a two night sray. It was the perfect venue to prepare for our daughter's at nearby Hestercombe Gardens. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The staff were amazing. Very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We ate in the dining the evening before the wedding and the food was delicious. Thank you

Very friendly staff, Our room was very clean including bedding etc ,However TV was virtually unviewable as it was close to the ceiling , No room cleaning was done whist we were there, Rubbish bin was over flowing, No bed making , No topping up of Tea Milk ,Plus No Towel changing etc. The pub was under going extensive building works interior & exterior, A bit of a very noisy building site to say the least. The food was substandard burgers in buns ,I changed to a Steak & Ale pie one night, and left most of it as the meat was extremely tough inedible.Pointed this out to owner, Who made no real comment, and we still paid the full price, No adjustments are made. Furthermore the pub had various beer signs around bar, but did not have anything i asked for ,ie- No popular Ales ,most pubs usually have. Summer Ale was only on offer, which was nothing i have ever heard of . The cost of our stay we thought was extremely expensive, Considering our overall experience of everything mentioned ,Poor food & noisy building works ongoing We would unfortunately never return to this Pub.

We have just returned from a night at The Hatch Inn. The staff were so friendly and we felt very safe with the Covid measures that were in place. The food was delicious, I had liver and bacon and it was possibly the best I’ve had. Breakfast was lovely too, the avocado and poached eggs were very good and there was plenty of toast. Plenty of parking and warm and comfortable room. Thank you, I’m sure we’ll return.

Arriving in the village on a very wet day and our hotel room had no heating on we hunted out the local pub (Hatch Inn).We received a warm welcome from the locals and a log fire.What made this visit for me was they sold Black Cow Vodka, which saved me a visit to Beaminster where it is made, as I have been wanting to try it. We enjoyed the experience so much that we visited the following evening to have a meal and was not disappointed. Would go back again.

Booked for Sunday lunch last Sunday, choice of beef, lamb or pork but we both opted for the lamb. Lovely tender meat, good selection of vegetables and just about the best yorkshires I've had in a pub Sunday lunch. Excellent service from the two young waitresses. Would recommend anyone to give it a try and just wish we lived nearer so we could become regulars.

We booked a table at the Hatch Inn for our wedding anniversary. The meal was absolutely beautiful and the service we received was excellent from happy and welcoming staff. Well done and thank you for a lovely evening. We are so lucky to have such a lovely pub on our doorstep.

Lovely spacious and spotless room for an over night stay. Clare and Tony were super helpful. Super breakfast, everything you needed and catered for the children. Hope to return.

Would highly recommend The Hatch. Lovely twin room, clean and comfortable. Staff were attentive and followed current guidelines. Lovely meals, both dinner and breakfast. There were clear procedures in place to ensure social distancing was adhered to and visitors were abiding by them. Relaxing and enjoyable stay.

For the last 11 weeks in lockdown the Hatch Inn has designed an excellent ‘Ready to Eat’ range, which can only be described as absolutely fantastic. We look forward to something new and delicious to try every week. Clare and Tony have worked really hard to provide this superb service to customers to enjoy in these difficult, challenging times. The Curries, Cod and Prawn Mornay, Pies, Tapas, Meze and Mexican Fiesta have all been absolutely delicious . This pub must be visited to enjoy the full experience of a superb, friendly, family owned country pub, serving delightful home cooked food.

The Hatch Inn is our local pub,and during the lock down we are trying to support the pub at this difficult time.Tony and Clare are doing takeaway heat at home meals, which are absolutely fantastic. The lamb tagine and the curry are fabulous. Also on a Sunday, there is a hot Sunday lunch which is to die for. This accompanied with takeaway real ale is as close as it gets to visiting the pub for lunch.We just want to thank you both for trying to keep the village spirit going in such troubled times. Cannot praise you enough. Looking forward to when we can all get together again in this wonderful village inn

During the lockdown the pub/hotel is closed but they are offering takeaway (heat at home) meals at the weekends as well as a Sunday Roast to take home and heat.We live in the village and have tried to support the owners as much as we can, last night our takeaway of chicken enchiladas and a pepperoni pizza was just perfect.Thank you guys for doing this to help our wonderful village get through this difficult time.We look forward to the day we can walk in again for a drink and one of your lovely meals.

There is a lot of competition in the area when it comes to a good Sunday roast dinner. We couldn’t fault the Hatch Inn. Generous portions and great service.

This is a great traditional pub with accommodation and a really good restaurant. It is a little off the beaten track but well worth the effort to visit.We met up with an old university friend and his wife for a very pleasant evening. The beer is kept well, the wine selection whilst limited did not disappoint either.The menu caters for all tastes and the food was prepared perfectly - generous portions too. We will definitely return the next time we are in Somerset.

We found this little gem not far from Taunton on our way home to Dorset. We stopped off for a bite to eat and was not disappointed. I had the burger with blue cheese and my husband had the pie. Both were cooked beautifully and we thoroughly enjoyed them. We really did not do the menu justice as we wanted something quick but will definitely go back to make a proper night of it. The pub is lovely with a cosy dining room and the staff were attentive but not intrusive.

Sunday roast. Not busy although service rather slow and food not very hot, vegetables barely cooked, good Yorkshire pudding but not much flavour in the rest. It was ok but nothing to write home about.

As we were staying the night on Saturday 28th at The Hatch Mill (See separate review) we decided to have our evening meal also as the bar/restaurant was ideal for our dog. The property has a relaxed informal restaurant with a nice log fire and ample space between the table and chairs and a good atmosphere in the bar section. Having perused the menu my wife and I both agreed we would have the Dover Sole Benoit £18.00 with Fowey mussels and a white wine creme fraiche sauce, boiled potatoes and broccoli. The fish was cooked to perfection but lacked flavour as you could not taste the white pepper, lemon or dry cider for Benoit and the sauce was also insipid. Once starting to eat the broccoli that was under the fish was under cooked and cold (Ben our waiter asked if we would wish to have the broccoli exchanged but we said we would just leave it). My wife finished off with the lovely Plum and Amaretti Crumble with custard (I know as I had a couple of spoonfuls).To accompany our meal half of San Miguel £2.00 and Black Dog Gin and tonic £5.30 and round off with double espresso £2.00/Amaretto £5.80. The service by Ben and the bar lady were attentive and friendly and if in the area we would try again but was surprised that there was no deduction off our bill when I paid in the morning.

A large party of us for our annual Christmas meal the food and service was excellent the venison which I had really tasty but all the meals were very good

We have just had a lovely couple of nights at the Hatch. Spotlessly clean, room a tad small though. Lovely friendly owners and staff. Friendly locals in bar. Was made to feel very welcome. Breakfast was perfectly cooked. Just one thing bothered me, which was eight pounds for a large wine, personally I feel that's expensive for a pub, but that was our only negative.

Lovely pub with lovely decoration and furniture. Went for an evening meal and both chose the pie of the day - it was lovely - all cooked beautifully and so hot with plenty of gravy! Really friendly and helpful lady serving us. We will definitely stay here next time we come to Somerset.

Outstanding food and service. Two menus - English and Indian. Ordered the shrimp from the Indian menu and the lamb from the English - both were fantastic.

We wanted a quick meal after a long day. We enjoyed the tasty Proper Pies full of tender meat. Service was good without being rushed. Would recommend.

Nice meal in pleasant and stylish surroundings. Apparently the pub is renowned for its pies.I tried one and it was a real 'raised' pie. Very nice. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Ate here Wednesday 03/07/19 as a party if 3 and our 2 small dogs. Sat outside as the evening was warm and dry. Exemplary service from the ladies that served us. Menu choice great, and food was very good. Ate here again Friday 05/07/19 and had lovely table inside, and again made very welcome, as were our dogs. Thank you all. Highly recommended.

Went there for a meal while visiting Taunton. Great food, service very good and really nice draft cider. Good atmosphere, will go here again if we are in the area.

Staying locally and booked for dinner. Friendly attentive staff and a small but varied and interesting menu. An excellent home-made "proper" pie and lemon sole were beautifully presented and served quickly. Recommended.

Have been popping into this pub for many years its really good to see it has been transformed over last few years into a very tasteful and inviting bar and restaurant -with food and beer to match. I haven't seen the bedrooms but can imagine that they match the rest of this very pleasant place. There seemed to be a happy and enthusiastic local clientele which bodes well for the future

Just off the M5 and A303, this is a fab spot for lunch if you are en route somewhere and don’t fancy a service station. Boxes of toys for our two young children kept them happy, the children’s menu was good. Sunday lunch was delicious with the best ever Yorkshire puddings I’ve eaten in a pub. Decor is modern and pleasant.

Just enjoyed an excellent family lunch near Taunton on our way back from Fowey to London. Efficient and friendly service and kids well catered for. Our 8yo loved the pasta with meatballs, fresh sauce and the 5yo enjoyed his mini burger but the warm doughnuts for pudding went down especially well. Husband’s steak pie with triple cooked chips hit the spot as did my gourmet burger. We couldn’t resist taking a portion of homemade pork scratchings away for later. A real find!

We visited The Hatch Inn as we were staying in Hatch Beauchamp for the weekend. Luckily the main restaurant/bar in the village was also awesome. Food was excellent - local produce and a small but varied menu. The service was on point and food came out quickly and hot. Recommend reserving which we did both nights as it is a small place so fills up pretty quickly.

Lovely lunch for mother’s day. Staff very attentive, they can’t do enough for you. Will come back

Visited during our stay in the village, food lovely, staff really friendly - went back the following night for dinner and drinks again. When we visit next time we will be staying here.

Whilst driving back from Lyme Regis to Bristol, we were randomly looking for somewhere for dinner.. saw the ‘eating’ sign on the main dual carriageway and followed the road into Hatch Beauchamp …and came across the Hatch Inn. And what a wonderful experience it was to dine there… most notably due to the staff. The meal was quite nice.. lovely Country Inn dining.. but what we were impressed with was the attitude and approach of the staff. In my experience of dining out these day, the experience can vary so much depending on the way the staff interact with you. And these days, it seems it’s very rare to have a pleasant, engaging and pleasing experience of which you attribute to the engaging staff.

Starters were good. Only beef on the menu as they had run out of Lamb, which most of us would have chosen. Veg good, cauliflower cheese had mustard in so was too hot for the children and was not very pleasent to eat. The beef was chewy, yorkshires and roast potatoes under cooked, Apple crumble stodgy and tasteless. Not great generally and quite expensive. I have eaten better and cheaper recently. I won't be returning.

We ate the steak and ale pie with triple cooked chips and ribs with home cooked skinny fries. Followed by ice cream and homemade apple crumble. A full English breakfast in the morning. Amazing food. Delicious.

To start with you notice the open fire and well stocked bar. In the bedroom you notice the modern, well coordinated bedding and large spacious bedroom with roll top free standing bath in the large bathroom. There’s a posh coffee machine and a huge tv.

Lovely evening meal, wine and surprised at how reasonable the bill was. Would definitely recommend and definitely go again.

The inn has a number of hotel rooms as well as the bar / restaurant. Clean, very comfortable bed, good evening meal and good cooked breakfast. Lots of character and friendly staff.

I took my girls (kids) for supper here after wanting to find a local pub with good food.

We stayed at The Hatch Inn for 4 nights, we had room 2 which is spacious and well appointed, the service from all the staff was great and very welcoming. Breakfast was always on time and had great options and serving size. We have family in the area, so this is our new go to spot.

This was an amazing luncheon from a great choice of meals.We were attended to throughout by the owner.This was one of the most hospitable inns on our John O Groats to Lands End Cancer Research Carity cycle ride.

Interesting menu. Great barman. Entertaining and efficient. Good menu. Starters were interesting with large portions. My roast beef was a little tough although the rest of the meal was good. Nicely cooked vegetables.

My friend and I ate here twice whilst on an upholstery course at Ball Hill Farm and staying at Frog Street Farmhouse. We had a warm welcome by the very friendly staff and the meals on both nights were superb. There is an extensive range of gins, we didn’t get to try them all, but had a good try.

We have been here a few times as a couple and have enjoyed this place every time, the food is well presented and full of flavour.

Although a fairly limited menu, our party of four all had completely different lunches and they all looked delicious. I went for a homemade burger, others had a homemade pie, a fish benedict and a mixed vegetable dish. Very friendly staff (and they are also a good bed and breakfast hotel, too. I stayed once when the local hotel was full - and it was a great experience!) I took an elderly relative from the local nursing home. They had to put down a ramp for the wheelchair but did so willingly with good humour and helped me get the chair over a tricky bump. We all enjoyed our lunchtime. I recommend this place as a lovely stop off for lunch and pleasant environment.

We ate here twice whilst staying at Frog Street Farmhouse. Fish of the day was very tasty and a reasonable sized portion, West Country faggots were delicious and a real trencherman's portion size.

Walked to this lovely establishment from a local b&b; and couldn’t have been more thrilled with the choice, quality and inventiveness of the menu and the friendliness of the staff.

This Inn is in a delightful hamlet in rural Somerset, not far from Taunton. A warm welcome on our arrival. The owners have worked hard to provide lovely accommodation and give a first class service in this building of character. We had time to wonder around the village lanes and visit the lovely Church before relaxing at the Inn for real ales locally produced food.

Lovely relaxed greeting, very homely and welcoming. Room 2 was a very generous size. Evening meal delicious. Steak cooked lovely but a bit overpriced. Came with just chips and nothing else.

We spent 2 nights in Hatch Beauchamp and we ate at The Hatch both nights. The staff were very friendly and the service was efficient but what we will really remember is the food..... delicious, hearty, great value. We'd recommend this place, especially the pie.

Great food, wine, beer and gin. A very interesting menu and good value for money. I liked the lamb chump navarin.

We stayed (2 adults and 2 children) at the Hatch Inn just before Easter on our home and I couldn't fault it. The staff were all extremely friendly, the room was extremely comfortable and clean and the food was delicious (including the follow day's breakfast). And their collection of Gins is something to behold! Would definitely stay again.

Booked a table, arrived early, warm welcome. Roaring fire. Drink order was taken, then sat down at our table for 5.

The venue is dingy and unloved. Service was sporadic and lacking quality. Furniture was worn out (one chair on our table was broken). Menus provided were confusing. Indian menu and food quality was great however so if you can ignore all of the above and go just for the food its fine. However I would not go out of my way to have a meal there unless these issues were addressed.

Firstly my main gripe was the menu situation. From the website it looked like there was a choice of English or Indian but on arrival was told the Indian menu was the only one available. I had lamb rogan josh which was ok if a little bland. I had mashed potato with it which was a nice touch. My girlfriend's chicken korma was over cooked with not enough sauce (in our opinion) Was offered complimentary drink but declined as we wanted to get out because the room was a wee bit chilly. Overall disappointing

Popped in on a return trip from Taunton with son for lunch. Place was daft busy with a big Xmas do, but the head barman was very helpful and set us up at a great table by the excellent fire. Really nice beer, which is apparently their own. Son had a steak ciabatta, which he said was excellent, and I has steak and mushroom pie with swathes of additional gravy, and, bizarrely, some really excellent kale as an accompaniment. Pretty superior pub food, and as a pub it had all the important features - darts board, spirits in bottles not optics, decent looking gin and rum, and proper Russian vodka.

Food really good and reasonable,well cooked and delicious. I would recommend the special the skate wing pan fried lovely and fresh ,and a delicious treacle tart.

We had dinner here during our stay and tried the sausages and local pie. Both were eccellant washed down with good beer and wine. The service was friendly and excellant - Thank You

The Hatch Inn is about 5 minutes from the M5 and we popped in for lunch on our way to Exeter.

We had an evening meal at the Hatch Inn and were pleasantly surprised to find a varied menu which was different to ' the usual Pub Menu'. The food was well cooked and presented and was obviously prepared from well chosen ingredients.

Great little find. Lovely place with friendly staff, food was terrific tasty and well presented. The only criticism was they do try to rush you to order but on the whole a pleseant experience.

Had our evening meal here whilst staying in the Farthings Hotel about 100 yards away. We were on a budget so decided to avoid the hotel menu as it was out of our price range.

Another excellent Saturday night meal at the Hatch with my elderly parents. The menu has a good variety with something for everybody with a good selection of beer and wine. I am especially enjoying the variety of Gin on offer with Elderflower and Grapefuit tonic my current favourite. Thank you Tony, Claire and team.

Despite not being locals we were made to feel very welcome, the service was outstanding. Reserved a table for Saturday night. Good menu and the food was hot and delicious.

The Hatch Inn serves very good evening meals. I particularly liked the faggots. The staff are friendly and efficient

This was my 'local' some 45 years ago; it went downhill in the late 1970s but it's good to see that the recent change of ownership has improved it enormously. I met a friend there for a mid-week pub lunch and wasn't disappointed - a reasonable menu without silly 'gastropub' nonsense and pleasant, courteous service. Much quieter now that the A358 bypasses Hatch Beauchamp too!

Weird! Very weird! A rather comfortable dining experience

First time we have visited since a change of ownership, and we loved it. Went for a cheeky mid-week lunch and had the most delicious meal. Hamburger and pie and chips and both were superb. Fresh ingredients with special touches like the corn bread bun with the burger, very tasty. Dessert was just as good, but apparently they can't be shared and aren't fattening!!! (House rules) Friendly service with tasteful decor, this place deserves to do well.

A great evening meal, friendly staff with a good mix of things on the menu, best of all it tasted great

Very pleasant service, good vegetarian options eg parsnip fritters and a stack of roasted vegetables with cheese. Enjoyed.

We had the opportunity to dine here on Saturday (22nd April) and found the food and price to be of very good value. Food was excellent with great service!

Live music made for a lovely atmosphere and the food was good, arrived on time, big portion and was hot.

booked here for one night. Great friendly staff.Room very clean and spacious .Food was fantastic our dogs were allowed in the bar and room. There is a park just down the road ideal for walking the dogs. will definatly stop off here again when passing. Many thanks for a pleasant night stay.

Arranged a meal for my Mum's birthday whilst we were away for the night. The Hatch Inn does have a nice atmosphere. But we were let down by slow service. In addition, our starters were forgotten and our mains did not arrive for 45 minutes. We were asked whether we wanted the starters with the mains but obviously this didn't really work that well and the apology we received was limited. 2 out of the 4 mains we had were nice (off of the specials menu) but the other 2 mains were very bland and both suffered from crunchy peas. Puddings took a further 45 minutes, and I requested to have a different flavour ice cream with my dessert which once again was not fulfilled. Desserts also lacked in flavour. I'm unsure if we were just unlucky, due to the fact there was a very large hen do in.

My wife and I have been to the Hatch Inn before and wanted to try a Sunday lunch there. We booked on Sunday morning and got a table for 2 with relative ease. Unfortunately, easy booking may become a thing of the past once word gets out of this great find! The pub was everything we wanted, open log fire, clean interior and very friendly staff. There was a set menu for a Sunday roast - £14.50 for 2 courses or £17.50 for 3 courses. We went straight for the main course and had a roast pork and a roast beef. As you can see from the picture it was very well presented. What you can't see was that it was also delicious! Very well cooked all round. We then finished off with a rumble crumble and custard and an affogato - both lovely! Very good value and I would recommend a visit for a classic Sunday lunch in a lovely rural setting
