Really nice meal. Had vegetarian burger which was tasty although didn't hold its structure well, and the Turkey dinner which was lovely although I could've done with more stuffing & pigs in blankets but overall good. Lovely vibe to the pub with nice lighting and delicious ale.

I would normally rate this place higher but today was a mixed experience with a disappointing main course followed by a very good dessert. The Sunday roast beef was let down by the main event, the beef which was so chewy I had to ask for a steak knife to cut through it and there was nearly as much fat as there was beef. The roast potatoes weren’t crispy and the Yorkshire pudding very dry. The veg were just ok. The service however was very good and a credit to the young people serving you and the crème brûlée was one of the best I have had. My friends had the Sunday turkey roast and their verdict was that it was just ok. I have certainly had better meals there than today’s.

Lovely pub with excellent food. We arrived in a group of 7 adults and 3 children after my husband had just completed a sky dive for the Alzheimer's society. Even though we hadn't booked, we were seated very quickly, and the service was excellent along with the food 😀 I would definitely visit again! I would recommend you try the home made onion rings, they are amazing! Bit beware, don't order a portion each as we did, they're enormous! 🤣🤣

The summer menu here is extensive for vegans, which is surprising considering the location. The bar is beautiful and cozy, and the staff is very attentive and kind. I had the vegan curry, which was very spicy and tasty, but lacking a tiny bit of curry flavor. For dessert I had a brownie with vegan vanilla ice cream. The brownie was a little dry, but had a great flavor, and the ice cream was amazing. Highly recommended!!

Booked for a group of 10 for a birthday/ family reunion. The service was outstanding - the staff could have done nothing more to make it a wonderful afternoon. When brining the cake out, they even sang happy birthday and asked for the name of the person whose birthday it was so they could do it properly! Food quality was excellent (everyone had clean plates)! I visit my parents every couple of months as they live near Whitchurch and will definitely be going again, even if it’s just for a drink. Thank you to all the staff, we all had a great afternoon.

We have driven past The Horse and Jockey a few times and always thought it looks very inviting. As we were staying close by we thought we would give it a try. We went on a midweek evening, fairly late. The young man who took us to our table was very friendly and got us some drinks straight away. We were going to have some tapas as we'd been looking at the menu online, however, we went against our original plan when we read the full menu though. My wife had the duck breast with pickled rhubarb that looked and tasted like something out of a fine dining restaurant, outstanding. I went for a BBQ chicken breast which was incredibly tasty and superbly cooked. The service was excellent and the atmosphere very warm and friendly. We'll definitely be going back and wholeheartedly recommended.

We stopped in for an early dinner on our way home, after being on business further south for the afternoon. This place was easy to park up in, easy access (despite my husband's cast for a recent ankle break!) and warm and welcoming on arrival, with a friendly four-legged face greeting us at the door! It's a nice blend of a local type pub and a modern but characterful eatery. The staff were all very professional and helpful, and we were able to get a table for two straight away (at just gone 5pm on a Thursday evening) but there were quite a few reserved tables for later in the evening. The menu was nice, with some twists on the classic 'homemade gastropub-type food'. We went for a ribeye, and the fish and chips. Both came out quickly and were piping hot, presented nicely and well seasoned. The homemade 'proper' chips are just that...........and were delicious, along with everything else. The fish batter was crispy, and the side of crushed peas that came with it were tasty (and had an extra ingredient that I couldn't put my finger on, but provided a nice difference to the usual mushy peas). My husband was pleased with the steak that was super tender, cooked a perfect medium rare and had cherry tomatoes instead of the usual chunk of cold half tomato you normally get. We're looking forward to another visit to try something else and warm our cockles by the coal fire!

Didn't get to sample the pub because despite walking miles to get there and there google page saying that they were open they were not, and when I phoned the lady on the phone stated I was looking at the wrong website, now I like many others use the Google search engine and when you do you get a site stating open as did trip advisor, so before you make the journey please check if they are open, and just for the record while we were outside another person said they had traveled to get there and another car pulled in saw the closed sign and drove off, we update your web presence, remember google and trip advisor had you down as open

Good selection of local(ish) beers as well the usual ten or so keg beer and cider offerings. I had a pleasant pint from the local (Stoke) Titanic brewery. A large venue made up of a number of semi detached rooms. Quite noisy although not very busy during my visit, Saturday 5pm, few soft surfaces to soften the echoes. Popular with parents of small children (who are allowed to wander about at will and shout and scream) hence three * for atmosphere. I didn't eat this time, but have before and it was fine.

Just left after having plenty of lovely meals here in past, this will be the last visit. Bar area full however only one other table in the restaurant having food, service was extremely slow..we ended up leaving after waiting nearly 40mins for our mains to be cleared to order desert, waited 40 mins for the food to start with. We wouldn't mind when busy however, focus is on the bar only. Strong smelling substances clearly being used (greeted with this on the main entrance) here so very unpleasant for a family visit.

Stayed in flat above. Old tourist attraction leaflets in plastic wallets. An old folilo folder with more old crap in. Everything old and mostly unnecessary. No idea where to put rubbish bags when full. No welcome pack. Just stupid questions on initial phone call asking if we sleeping in separate rooms due to snoring or in the same room as a couple ???? And some old advice on Sat Nav that was not an issue and does NOT take you through Ford. Clearly some idiots have come this way. No politeness. Just moaning if you ring on a Sunday evening and the owner wants "quiet" time after only working 3 days a week. Yet was going to ring on the Monday morning. What when people are driving travelling to location??? ??? 🙄. NOT a quiet location as a local hanging out place even 7pm in the evening. With cars honking to each other. Delivery van honking every morning going next door. Motorbike next door starting in morning and returning 10pm at night. Who ever the imbecile is with heavy boots/footfalls that keeps on going into cafe when it is shut and slamming door every day. Neighbouring property busy and constant visitors. Ridiculous. Definitely would not stay again. Same idiot owner who asked stupid questions half way through holiday knocked on the door and asked us to move our vehicles into a field just for the customers over the weekend. Even though the cafe shuts at 4pm so no-one will be here. And we have paid for the parking as advertised on hoseasons. Only good points. Well equipped with necessities. Value for money.
