Went for breakfast on Saturday morning. Week later got parking fine through post for 60 pounds. Didn't see any signs no staff said anything to us....won't be going back here.and will advise everyone I meet... avoid !!!...disgusting ...food was only just warm and ended up standing waiting for eggs to be cooked...please find somewhere better it won't be hard.

Very good service, clean and tidy, we went and was relatively quiet which was nice, toilets were clean, and good value for money when it comes to the food

Good food for the money and sunday carvery is great but make sure you book and try to go earlier rather than later.. the Stonehouse app is worth a look for discounts etc

Got there at 09:15 for breakfast. Buffet breakfast was scrumptious, good selection of foods, included was sausage, Bacon, fried egg, mushroom, black pudding, some sort of cubed potatoes (delicious) and best of all my favourite, fried bread. I was amazed at all this choice ( and it was very well cooked) this breakfast was great value for the money. Couldn't comment on vegetarian options as I'm not a vegetarian. Staff and Chelsey , who looked after us, were very polite and efficient. I will definitely be recommending the Haywain. Based on the breakfast I am looking forward to trying the main meal selection, in the not so distant future ๐

Staff seemed nice but I didn't rate the carvery at all. Pretty much tasteless and gravy was really thin. You could go to a Greene King pub and get a much better carvery for the same price. Won't be returning, unfortunately.

The food was obviously popular as the tables were all in use, with mainly an older generation enjoying their meals. The place was buzzing with conversation, but I chose to sit in the extensive garden in the sunshine with my beverage.

Lived in the area for 25 years and today was the first time I've visited here. Had a lovely mid week carvery, well worth the ยฃ9.49. 3 meats and plenty of veg to choose from, will be going back to try the homemade pizza next..

Food was overcooked, chips were like warm at best. Have to get sausages and mash at the carvery side even if it's busy. Sausages were solid and overcooked, the cheese burger was like chewing on tarmac and the cheese was tasteless. Dough balls arrived hot, but the garlic butter didn't taste like anything. Lady behind the bar was nice, but they opened the bottle of prosecco straight from the cellar as none were in the fridge. It was a quiet Friday afternoon before the rush hour. They didn't come back to check on us so couldn't get any other sauces, had to search the dining area for mayo. Kids cucumber was cut into big chunks, could be a choking hazard luckily we spotted it. Also only got two sausages when promised a third one they never bought it over. Not that you'd want another anyway. Didn't stay for desert after this.

Went for a carvery today and never like to judge a book by its cover by reviews here. So, I gave it the benefit of the doubt here. The food was cold, and vegetables were well over cooked. The roast potatoes were disgusting like they were days old reheated. Gravey was watery, with no consistency at all. Overall, this was the worst carvery I ever eaten in my whole life . Maybe the chef should try and eat this rubbish they cooked. Desert chocolate brownies were stale awful. Would I come here again, no. Would I recommend you definitely not. Staff were lovely and looked embarrassed to be working here because of the chef poor lack of cooking skills. Guy behind carvery was rude to my disabled daughter. All because she thought she needed a tray for her food. We were new customers and definitely won't be returning again. Good food needs to be cooked with love and passion. And if the chef doesn't enjoy his/her job, then leave. Because good food is all about right timeing and flavours when cooking it right. And you would think by now with all your customers negative feedback, especially the chef. You would think you have improved the food by now. All you can say to your negative feedback is we make it better next time, lol. Really sounds like you're ignoring negative feedback, hence why your reviews are getting poorer. If you're not improving things, it will never improve. Also this pub is not disabled friendly. I wouldn't even feed a dog the food you serve it so bad. And to top it of me and my daughter and I both spent the night throwing up from your old reheated disgusting foods.

This is the third time I've been here and I've been disappointed every time. I thought I'd try again thinking I must just have bad luck. No, it's consistently bad. The serving staff are nice but the young (chef?) carvery server was clearly not where he wanted to be. No manners and not pleasant. The beef was dried and looked old, the gammon didn't look much better which gave me a choice of 1, turkey. 2 and a half slices! The roast potatoes were dried up and covered in a white powder. I had to dig down to find a few that were edible. The stuffing was just an embarrassment as it sat shriveled and dry in the tub. Lastly the 1 choice of gravy was hot but lumpy. Not a happy experience. I will reiterate that the serving staff were fine.

after 5yrs its about time i updated my review. at The Haywain i still cant fault the service, cleanliness, food or prices. if i had a niggle it would be the poor phone and wifi signal, so ordering at the table using the app can be iffy, especially if youve got a voucher code (if youre unsuccessful on the app and then try to order at the bar the voucher comes up as having been used)

Our 1st visit here and it was an absolute joke of a place food never turned up after an hour and forty five minutes of waiting with young hungry children the staff just avoided the dining area as much as possible it seemed and we had to find them to get any information the other guests where having the same problem and when food turns up on another table we overheard them complain that the burger was stone cold after our lengthy wait we asked for a refund and left as we couldn't wait any longer and went to McDonald's we won't be going here again and now waiting to be refunded. Update of review spoke to a manager called who told me they would chase up my refund and call me didn't call me that was now four days and it's been ten days and still no refund tried to call yesterday with no luck so the poor service is still happening as I can't seem to get my money back from these lot.

Not so good got there 9.30am no sausages, no backon eggs were very snotty not really cooked enough. It's disappointing it's as if they don't care. There was no tray on the toast machine so if you had toast it flew out on the table. Wasn't overly busy so no need for not having food cooked at that time of the day.

We popped in for Sunday lunch just 3 of us . Wasn't to busy . We had our roast then ordered puddings. One arrived and we waited over 20 minutes for 2 more to arrive. In the mean time we were told we would have to leave our table so a group could come in . I think that was so rude considering we didn't even have our puddings at this point . The Guinness was frothy and took ten mins . Also when we went yo get our carvery we waited 10 mins to get served.
