I honestly don’t know how to put into words but this place is so special, it’s not just a pub or a place to eat, it’s so welcoming and the experience is incredible, it was my son Noah’s 3rd birthday and we got the best, most special treatment, thankyou to the girls for singing a happy birthday to Noah, thankyou to the waitress who served us, thankyou to the women who served us the carvery and a big big thankyou to the women who owns the place as she is such a lovely women. As we was leaving all the staff and customers sung Noah happy birthday, honestly the best experience! X

The best mince and onion pie on the planet. Good beer and lovely staff..what more does anyone want, oh yes, a great price and they deliver on that too! A must go to pub. Hang on, don't, or if you do leave some pie for me 😉

We dined here with family and we're immediately seated. The first server took our drinks order and quickly brought them over. We were given menus and decided what we were having but 20 minutes later had still not had our order taken. Another 5 minutes passed and my husband asked a member of staff if we could order our food. She said yes. Another server came and said that she thought we had been served, she took our food order and we all ordered a carvery. 15 minutes later whilst sat in the boiling hot conservatory we still were no further forward with eating. My husband again asked another server about our carvery. She then proceeded to get our tickets so that we could get our carvery. When waiting to be served we were rudely asked to move out of the way by a server. At this point I just felt like walking out but after nearly an hour of waiting we stayed. Carvery was nice but the service was terrible. We even paid at the till to get out faster. The lady on the bar was so lovely and it's a shame the younger staff aren't as considerate.

We had Sunday lunch at the Haley Gate Inn today; what an excellent meal!! This very attractive pub stands on the banks of the River Idle with waterside access. There is an outside terrace, a beer garden and lots of dog friendly seating areas. (Watch out for Vera, the resident cat though!). There is a choice of a carvery with beef, turkey, ham or pork (or vegetarian option), or a meal from the menu that you can personalise with your choice of vegetables and sauces from the carvery. Portions are very generous and the vegetables are freshly cooked and delicious. Prices are reasonable, £12 for an adult carvery or item from the menu. Child portions are £6. We had a delicious lunch, finishing with a portion of chocolate orange cake, and chocolate fudge cake served with your choice of cream, icecream or custard. This popular venue gets very busy, so be sure to book your table first.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon for our anniversary lunch, fairly busy but not overly so. Manageress was welcoming but waitress was quite rude. 40 minutes after ordering we were still waiting for our food, went inside to complain, the waitress came back out, no apology and asked if we wanted more drinks while we waited and food wouldn't be that long and asked us again what we wanted. Another 15 mins, still no food so we asked to see the manager to be told she was very busy and would be around 10 minutes before she came. Asked for a refund as we had paid on ordering at which point the food arrived, closely followed by the manager who apologised and gave us a partial refund. Food was ok but spoiled by the experience. Sad to say we won't be going again.

We went in on valentines day, with the children, not expecting to get a table seeing as we hadn't booked vut the staff found us one and wete particularly friendly and welcoming to all of us. In fact one of the ladies there was our unpaid photographer dor the afternoon and took some family photos for us.. Can't complain at all. The food was lovely too and service was quick, lovely atmosphere and general cleanliness was really good. We will definitely be going back again. 5 stars doesn't quite do this place justice!

Absolute gem which we are thrilled we found. Good easy parking, fabulous menu of truly home cooked foods. Wide drinks list Beautiful inside with level access and patio area all over looking the run way. Staff friendly and efficient, dog friendly outside although when wind is high ( like today ) the patio is closed for safety which is fully understandable. Will definitely return if we are in the area

Wow what can i say, this is the first time coming here as we were visiting my parents who have recently moved here so they treated us to a meal for my birthday. The food and service was by far a 10 out of 10. All freshly cooked food and decent portions for the price too. I had the Sticky Chicken for starters 🤤🤤and a Chicken, Ham and Leek Pie for main course which was well filled. I loved the deco and how comfortable the crushed velvet chairs were which made it even more comfy. The whole place was clean and inviting to everyone. All the staff we were in contact with with so bubbly and friendly, especially the owner? Who took our order and the lady who waited on us too. The only niggle for me was i was to hot but thats personal preference as im never cold and was sittinf by a radiator. Such a lovely pub its a shame its going to be closing ☹️
