The Jenny Wren in West Lindsey

@marx13 time out with family.good fun ! Laugh because u can't stop 😭 crying . Mark Branton ❣️ hope u find this review useful....

Held our daughters 21st at the stunning Jenny Wren. Staff were friendly and professional, function room was perfect. Then hubby and myself stayed over, the room was perfect, peaceful and a great nights sleep. Woke early to have breakfast on the seating on the river bank. Beautiful views and stunning sunrise. Thankyou to all for making the party go to plan.

We visited The Jenny Wren at 2pm on a Friday afternoon. We decided to eat inside as it was too cold outside. Our dogs were welcome in the bar area which was comfortable. It lacked atmosphere as there was only us there and no music playing in the background. The young lady behind the bar was pleasant and helpful. The big WOW was the food! My husband had homemade steak and Stilton pie whilst I had fish and chips. The portions were big and the food amazing. You cannot go wrong eating here it just needed a bit more atmosphere.

A beautiful evening spent on the bank of the River Trent. Could only manage two courses as the food was plentiful and also extremely delicious. The young man and the young lady behind the bar were very attentive throughout and extremely pleasant. Would highly recommend.

We visited on Mother’s Day. At the time of booking it was asked if they could cater for vegans and was told yes, the chef will ring you to go through the menu. A few days before we were due to come no call had been made so we rang again to check, again assured yes and the chef would call. The evening before still no call so I rang to make sure. I spoke to a rather stressed chef who said the message had not been passed on. The call itself took 3 attempts because it kept cutting out. The chef sounded stressed and apologetic, my instinct was to cancel but she said she would make something and there would be options. I didn’t hold out much hope and arrived with low expectations. Unfortunately the experience fell below those. The vegan menu had egg and prawn mayonnaise without the mayo as a vegan option. It then took 3 attempts to make sure the remaining vegan items were actually vegan. I ordered the cottage pie and my daughter the roast vegetable dinner. The cottage pie was burnt and fairly tasteless and the roast veg dinner consisted of a roast potato, a scoop of mash and a Yorkshire pudding (my daughter is vegetarian not vegan) all smothered in lashings of gravy. MEAT gravy. My daughter had to ask twice if the gravy was meat. Eventually the chef sent a young waitress up to say she was sorry but she’d made a mistake. I shared the cottage pie with my daughter and we left as soon as we could. By this time the whole experience had been ruined for the entire party even though the omnivore food was good and they’d enjoyed it. So we all decided to leave, including those who were planning on opting for a pudding. This meant 2 people had not the 2 courses on the menu. This was not reflected in the billing. Neither was my daughters meal that was inedible. I did refuse to pay full price for her meal and this was respected however I was charged for a stater which did not sit with the reasoning of there was not an option for one course. I do appreciate that not everyone will cater for different diets. That is fine, simply saying I’m sorry we can’t on this occasion would have been much better than to have this experience which was awful for everyone - the young waiting staff included who were continually sent to front the issues out instead of the chef just popping up to answer a question. I would definitely not recommend if you have an allergy, intolerance or slightly out of the traditional diet.

What a find! What a great find, had a lovely time here. It was our dogs first trip to the pub and he was made to feel v welcome. The food was excellent and the toffee popcorn cheesecake was the best I have ever tasted! Would defo return!

Beautiful surroundings with a relaxed atmosphere. Makes for a lovely evening out. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had deep fried mushrooms, and steak. Seriously good value for money, steak was well cooked to our liking. Chips were chiptastic, along with lovely salad, vegetables and peppercorn sauce. Happy days.

Wouldn’t recommended unless you like wasting money on microwave meals. The starters which are overpriced are straight out the box. Refused to pay for the mushy batter they called fish and chips, (to which the chef didn’t see anything wrong with the undercooked cod) The American chicken burger is no more then a the Birdseye classic. And to top it off the wine glasses look like the been rinsed in week old bath water. While leaving the restaurant after an argument about paying for processed packet meals, we got confronted by the chef at the back door, giving us the worst dirty look upon exit. We then tried to speak to the chef about what could help them improve the food for future reference. at which point she had already ran in back in the kitchen to I can only assume would have been the bing of a microwave.

The Jenny Wren is a lovely place - relaxed, beautiful surroundings and well run. We ate early evening and it was nicely busy which is always good to see! The waitresses were lovely and friendly, very polite and made you feel instantly at home, the food was excellent and great value for money. Will definitely be back, a little gem

My friend and I visited on Saturday 17th July . We had a fabulous night we had a pretty dinner drink on the Trent bank then went to the outdoor area for our meal and entertainment by the Geriatrics band. Great customer service , very amicable landlord snd friendly people. Our meal was excellent such a fabulous night Thankyou to everyone for making it such great fun

We visited today for my mother in laws birthday. Our meal was delicious the onion rings were the best I've ever had!! The plumb sponge was also a big hit

The best Sunday roast is served at the Jenny, great place to have lunch and relax by the riverside and have a drink afterwards. Lovely staff, friendly and helpful.

They have a new menu and chef to go with it and the food is really good we have been a couple of times recently and will definitely be there again. Good cask beers as well really pleasant friendly service

Wonderful fresh home cooked food. Felt very welcome and looked after by staff, relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful building and setting. Will be coming back soon

Haven't been to Jenny Wren for some time so thought a visit was required. Not dissapointed beautiful surroundings and, as previously mentioned a lovely open fire. Starters - battered jumbo prawns and garlic mushrooms with Stilton cheese. Mains sea bass on risotto and haddock and chips - gorgeous and recommend. Finished with coffees what a lovely evening, hope to return soon.

Christmas lunch for 4 at a cost of £55 pp. What can I say? Disgraceful!!Our table was booked for1pm, and it was 3.30pm before we left. Waiting times between courses was around 40 minutes, not enough staff?The starter was good despite having to ask for butter to eat the bread roll. Main courses had items missing, and had to ask. No gravy and again I had to ask. Child's portion of two small thin slices, obviously scrimping with portion sizes. Two sprouts in my opinion not fresh but frozen along with the roast potatoes.The dessert was ok but one arrived in a chipped bowl. Overall the worst Christmas lunch I'd ever eaten and I'm 65 years of age!! This meal shouted all for profit.

fantastic service quality food in beautiful settings with REAL log fire.........very friendly warm and welcoming xxxxx regular visitors keep it up ps veggie stir fry to die for.......

We had a meal with friends at the Jenny Wren, on Saturday evening. This is a beautifully maintained and pretty country pub, with a real fire for that warm feeling on a cold winter evening. We chose tiger prawns with sweet chili dip, deep fried Brie with cranberries, and prawn cocktail for starters. Main course were steak with all the trimmings, lasagna with garlic bread, burger with chips and salad, and best of all - sea bass with a creamy lemon sauce, served on a prawn and pea risotto - superb!!! Everyone enjoyed their meal, it was cooked and served perfectly, and accompanied by a nice glass or two of wine (or sparkling water for me because I was driving ). A few of us managed pudding - cheesecake, ice cream etc. And quite a lot of us managed after dinner liquors (did I mention that I was driving?!)A big thank you to Barry, Sheila, Luke and all your hard working staff - we had a lovely evening!!

Saw on Facebook what was happening on the 5th of Nov, so we thought we would have a ride out, not too far we live in Hibaldstow. We both has Ribeye Steak and both were cooked as ordered, the chips were real by this I mean somebody had peeled a potato and deep fried it, no triple cooked or frozen stuff. The rest of the menu had a reasonable range of choices, we ate in the bar. Also, a good choice of beersThe Jenny Wren has been refurbishment this year, I have not been here before so I don’t know what has been changed. The place has a lot of character and is quite quirky in a charming way.They have a go size sun lounge which would suit a wedding or party.They staff were approachable and very helpful. We will return.

Great food, lovely service. Mixed grill was awesome. Wasnt bothered about liver and kidney so it got topped up with chicken and sausages. Chips are amazing. We'll be back

We walked from the local campsite and arrived very wet and cold. We were given the warmest reception, all clothes were dried by the fire and kids were made really at home invited to play with the toys we had bought,it clearly was a family place. The food was amazing, mixed grill, steaks and fish and chips highly recommended. The chef even made my youngest his own kids meal. The puddings were epic!! As we left we asked if there was a quicker route back to the Campsite, the amazing owner and manager insisted on taking us back, even removing parcel shelves to fit the kids bikes in!!Jenny wren we will be back, thank you for a fabulous afternoon!!

The place is ok, but has an odd atmosphere, where you're not quite sure who's working and who's just lounging in their joggers and slippers. The bar is an odd set-up - one person takes the drinks order, another pulls the pint, another leaves it on the bar for 10 minutes and another then brings it to the table...Weird. The food was...ok (it seems that's the only word that I can use for this place) I ordered sweet chilli salmon and all I can say is that it was the most underwhelming meal I've ever eaten. I was literally bored whilst eating it. My friend had steak, asked for it medium, came out cremated, you get the idea. Just seems to be trying to be posh when it's very average pub grub.

Thank you for being welcoming but the food was lacking a little bit to what I was expecting but you can't have everything perfect all the time.

Went on a Wednesday evening for dinner. 3 of our party were very late arriving but staff were friendly and did not rush us to order once they did arrive.

I went for dinner with 5 friends. We had read the reviews - I remember it years ago when again it was very good but it went down. we were delighted. The menu is varied - prices norm for a good restaurant. All the food is cooked to order and so we had to wait - no problem and worth it, all the meals were excellent one of the group asked for Gluton free - no problem at all. The staff were very pleasant. We will return.

Excellent menu, all freshly prepared at reasonable prices. Very pleasant and helpful staff. The building is very much improved on what it was and is well worth the journey. Highly recommend.

Having booked a table two days before for Saturday 17th August it wasn't as if they wasn't expecting us. The table was booked for 7.45pm and the lady who showed us the table and took our order was miserable and could hardly be bothered to take our order, I'm assuming it was the landlady because the young lady's who came to our table were very attentive. The last time I came I ordered the same food," the sea bass" I got two last time but only got one this time . They had run out of the accompanying dish so I had to have chips. The restaurant didn't finish until 9pm so I can't understand how they could run out of things so early in the night. The food was ok but I didn't enjoy the evening at all, sorry ! I shall have to think twice about going again I'm afraid. I actually do love good food and go to lots of lovely restaurants so it's not as if this was a one off night out. Also being charged £3.20 for a non alcoholic drink was steep when establishments should be trying to encourage no drink driving.

Called in for a coffee (usually do this to check out a place prior to visiting for a meal at a later date); Saturday lunch time and the place was virtually empty - no matter, ordered coffees and I have to say the service at the counter left a lot to be desired a rather surly lady took the order giving off an air that we were causing her a problem by our presence (small order I guess) - moral - good way to test a place!

We went here after our usual place was closed. So glad it was! The food was excellent (I can highly recommend the fish pie) and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful without being too over-bearing. Very good value for money too.

I didn't know what to expect when I popped in for lunch after work. I ordered a mega grill and it was amazing value. Chris the waitress topped it up with her very friendly, courteous and professional service. Will definitely want to visit Witherspoon the missus who has a very discerning palate!

Just been her for a spontaneous Sunday tea. Food was sublime. Proper short crust pastry on the pie....not just a half a**ed lid, but fully encased. Tender meat. My wife had the roast beef and said that was beautiful too. Friendly, welcoming, attentive staff. Thoroughly recommended

Here service is the key to everything. My wife loves salmon. It was there on the menu, but with a chilli sauce to which she is intolerent. "No problem without the sauce. But then the chef came, bringing butter to add a little to the meal. He then promised that if we came back and ordered salmon, he would gladly make a different sauce especially for my wife. I ordered gammon "with pineapple or egg". What a choice, so I asked for and received both at no extra cost.

Love the atmosphere of The Jenny Wren. They have made so much effort with the interior and it looks beautiful, very cosy. Food was beautiful and service was very positive.

3 of us had meals and we all loved them. Great friendly staff.Made welcome from minute we walked it. Will use again next time I'm in the area.down side is it will be in a years time thou

I would have scored “good” but can’t say very good as it seemed as though we were putting the senior staff out. When I asked if we could eat there was a shrug of the shoulders, glance of watch and belligerent “yes”.

Our group of six sampled a wide selection of food from the menu as we visited four times during our holiday and it was all delicious with good helpings! We were made very welcome, as were our dogs in the comfortable bar area. Looking forward to visiting again next year.

Group of 6 adults with 3 dogs staying for a week in Lincolnshire. We had read good reviews for the Jenny Wren so decided to give it a go. The hospitality was great. There was a very good menu with both classics and some imaginative dishes and a very interesting specials board. Vegetarians well catered for as well. We enjoyed our evening so much we came back for dinner on the next two nights. Leave room for a pudding - the large pieces of treacle sponge came with a generous helping of custard and were delicious.

Booked a table for two one night in January and enjoyed the food we had. People were friendly and food was nice. Will definitely be back....

Food was tasty. Table for 8 and by the time the last meal came out i had pretty much eaten mine...so that let it down.

Dinner was excellent. It's fair to say that any restaurant that sources its ingredients from local and I mean local sources gets my vote.

Hayley & I went after work one evening & we recieved a warm welcome. Ordered Beef lasagna with home made chips & Hunters Chicken. Food was so so good to have sat next to a warm fire on a cold night. Lemon cheesecake was just nice to finish off. Will defenately be returning again T & H

Just had a great lunch at the Jenny Wren the food was excellent and Jess was her usual pleasant self. It is great its reopened and will definitely be using Jenny Wren on a regular basis again. Try it you will not be disappointed.!!

We had a great meal at the Jenny Wren on Friday 1st of Feb. Burger with blue cheese was the tastiest I’ve had, ever. The lasagne was excellent as well. Very well prepared and presented food in a pub with a friendly atmosphere.

I came to the Jenny wren last night and had a meal here, the food was delicious however I found it very unprofessional that the staff were sitting down having a chat about the things they dislike about the management team on the table next to us and another member of staff was sitting down vaping , I found it rather uncomfortable whilst I was trying to eat my meal.

Went for lunch today and we had a lovely meal. It had been snowing and the roads were tricky but our journey was well worth the effort. There was a lovely welcoming log fire and the friendly waitress seated us right in front of it. We were the only ones who had ventured out but there was no faulting the welcome and the service throughout the meal was excellent. The food was very good, well presented and tasty and with generous portions. We had not been here for probably ten years but I'm sure we will be back much sooner.

Husband & I had a lovely meal ,presentation very good & excellent service with a good atmosphere also a well logged fire .I chose the salmon off the menu & my husband had a sirloin steak ,we wasn't disappointed,it was beautifully cooked ,the steak came just as he asked for it done ,reasonable priced too .we will be back .

Excellent food, staff, ambiance. We phoned to book and asked for a “dog friendly” table. We got a lovely welcome, with a wonderful wood burner lit in the appropriate room (which was perfect). Jess ( the waitress, bar maid etc was lovely, so warm and friendly and made such a fuss of our dog! Thank you

My partner and I visited the Jenny Wren today for Sunday lunch. We had heard that it was now under new management and although we hadn’t booked we took a chance that we could get in. The new manager Jess gave us a very friendly greeting and showed us to a table for two by the window. We ordered our roasts and although we had to wait, the food was very good and well worth the delay. There was a beautiful blazing log fire adding to the cosy and comfortable atmosphere. All the staff were very friendly and attentive and we will certainly be returning soon.

me and the wife went for a meal on 11/01/2019 we had the mixed grill it was exellent lovely tender meat homemade chips and onione rings very big portions will be going back highly recomend and great service

My son and his partner took my wife and me here yesterday for a late afternoon birthday lunch. We arrived about half an hour after the lunchtime period ended, but were unaware of the meal times. The very friendly barmaid asked the chef if he would be able to cook for four people and he happily did so. The food was excellent and both members of staff were cheerful, polite and friendly throughout. Set on the east bank of the River Trent, it's an ideal location at any time of the year. Yesterday we had the benefit of a real log fire to make the experience cosy and welcoming.

I have used “Sussy Pub” for over 50 years,first under its original name The White Horse, which was just a drinking pub. It then metamorphosised into the Jenny Wren and we have been frequent visitors ever since but not so frequently in recent years as it has had a chequered existence. The Wren had been closed down until this summer when it reopened after refurbishment by its new owner, so we didn’t know what to expect.

6 of us had a set 3 course meal with wine. The food was excellent, we had a variety of different meals between us and all were really tasty and well presented. The meal was excellent value for money and the service was brilliant. Jess looked after us so we'll. Highly recommended.

Having recently reopened decided to make a tea time visit on a sunday. Nice to find somewhere open at 5pm.

Second visit in a few months. New manager in charge - very pleasant lady doing an excellent job.

I last visited this pub in the 70's as a young teenager.... It's changed a lot since then.

I visited with my husband our children and my mother in law, the pub is lovely inside they had a lovely open fire burning

Nice place, very welcoming, effusive manager. Menu very unispired and everything with chips. It was a kit like foigmback to the wasn't a particularly busy lunch time but service was slow. I enjoyed the Cajun chicken which was tasty and not over cooked. Everyone else was disappointed with their main meals. Puddings were OK but unfortunately serve ready made custard. The

A very warm welcome from the staff. Really cosy with a real fire. Excellent food & good variety on menu. Good size portions. The couple that run this place are so welcoming. and dogs are allowed in the bar area. It’s definitely a place we will be returning to.

An old friend, recent TLC and a pleasant warm welcome. Some fair choices of ale in a nicely re shaped dining bar. We all felt that there was a food range to suit most palates, and a more limited specials board which ?changes more frequently.

On arrival my wife and I were seated and menus given and drinks ordered. We then asked the waitress if they had a specials board. One was produced albeit small. There were 5 or 6 dishes on there; what the waitress didn't realise was which were starters and which were mains. There was no prices on the specials board either; again annoying. Anyway, after some confusion, our order was taken; wood pigeon and garlic and white wine mushrooms. The waitress looked like 'a fish out of water' trying to do her job. Anyhow, the pigeon was beautiful. The wife enjoyed hers too. My hand pulled pint of ale became flat after one mouthful. The wife enjoyed her lasagne. I had the lamb shank. When it came out I noticed very little gravy on the plate, therefore I knew I would require some more. At no point did the waitress come back and ask if everything was okay; annoying to say the least. I had to go to the bar and ask for some gravy. A few minutes passed then it arrived in a gravy boat. I took one look at it and realised immediately that it was instant gravy granules and boiling water. Absolutely disgraceful! Even worse, the lamb shank cost me £15.95. There is no way I would have had it knowing it was that price. My pint cost £3.60. The wife's Moretti cost £4.90; that is an outrage! Before this pub reopened we visited it several times and it was very nice. It has gone down hill in my opinion. They are way off the pace charging those prices and dishing out gravy like I had. It is way too expensive. We shall not be returning.

Lunch at the Jenny wren , Susworth. well what can I say - Great welcoming, fantastic food , will definitely be going back , well worth the visit for lunch .

We have just been to the Jenny Wren at Susworth and had a lovely evening! We chose prawn cocktail and garlic bread for starters, followed by fish and chips, and sea bass and prawn risotto for mains. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Many thanks to Jess and all the staff!

You will not be disappointed in any way shape or form if you come here! What a Gem!

How lovely to be welcomed in such a cheerful manner. Fantastic staff, excellent service and really well cooked food. Wine great and beer🙂 Will definitely return, well done to transforming this pub as it has such great character with its open fires and quirky style.

Been here a few times, new owner is very helpful and has brought this place back to good times, food was excellent and the service friendly and efficient. It's a nice place with a traditional feel.

Very warm welcome on arrival taken straight to table and drinks order taken. Staff excellent and food very high standard and cooked to perfection. will certainly go back

Excellent food good menu a, not doing Roasts at mo but assured to come. I would recommend to my friends to give it a go as it is still a work in progress 😊Good luck in the future we will definitely be back.

The antipasti was excellent. T Bone cooked to perfection. Good wines, first class service. I could not fault any aspect of visit. This place has been transformed by the new owners!

Very welcoming, nice clean environment with great food, staff are fantastic and actually enjoy what they do which is very rare today, Log fire was a bonus Will eat here again on my return

Went for Sunday lunch with friends. The pub and restaurant has been recently refurbished and is lovely inside. Unfortunately was very cold the time we were there but sure this will be remedied when the fires are all lit.

Every Tuesday night is let’s get quizzical clean restaurant friendly staff reasonable prices from the menu to choose from when buying soft drinks pay for one drink then go back to the bar for a refill free of charge

Been very nicely decorated and looks fresh. Not currently selling food and pop up pizza was overwhelmed as wait for food was over an hour decided to go elsewhere. A long way to go out of your way just for a drink.

The Jenny Wren is under new ownership and has been recently renovated and restored to pristine condition. Barry, the owner, and Fernando and Vicky have worked wonders to restore this old country pub back to a clean and comfortable area where everyone is welcome.

Lots of places do sunday lunches ,but the lunch at the Jenny wren is a cut above a lot of others,so well worth the time getting there

Of course the main reason for eating out is to get a good meal and that is abundantly available at the Jenny Wren. Friendly and prompt service, good beer and an inclusive menu. However, if you go at the right time, you may be lucky enough to see the Aegir (tidal bore) come roaring up the Trent, which is just over the river bank outside the pub.

Ya he estado antes, y nos pareció que estaba muy bien, así que reservamos para una comida de cumpleaños 50 pero a pesar de que el restaurante fuera somos, cuando llegamos allí con toda la familia el lugar era simplemente cerradas! !

Estoy de acuerdo con el comentario anterior. Este pub necesita un ordenado y más atención al detalle. El enfoque está en mal estado y fuera de cabina de los hombres era simplemente sucia. WC No es aceptable, no importa dónde estés o qué su presupuesto.

Food was first rate, service excellent and plenty of choice on the menu. Would recommend a drive around the East Ferry, Scotter area. Very pretty and on the banks of the Trent Would recommend.

Tener muchos recuerdos felices de Jenny Wren, en Susworth, mi esposa y yo decidimos, en el repuesto del momento, para intentar una mesa para comer el domingo.

Después de haber visitado el jenny wren por primera vez en enero, me sorprendió gratamente como he pasó por varias veces y no tuve la oportunidad de ir antes. El menú era suficientemente amplia para elegir y hay ofertas especiales en una tabla, la comida era excelente y el personal era educado. Todo tenía un precio razonable y es relativamente fácil de encontrar y accesible. Estaba muy tranquilo en la noche que nos fuimos y nos sentamos junto al fuego, lo cual era agradable y acogedor. Sin duda volveré.

Went out for a family birthday meal, good choice of pub classic meals and food portions were huge. Very tasty, kids menu was brill including fish and chips and steak pie. Would definitely go again.

No había ido a la Jenny Wren por algún tiempo, pero quedamos gratamente sorprendidos por la buena comida y buen ambiente. Buenas porciones de tamaño, la lasaña más de lo que yo podía comer. La pierna de cordero era excelente. La botella de merlot, era muy razonable y aceptable. Menú infantil era muy buena

Hemos estado en el Jenny wren tranquilo un par de veces, y todos ellos han sido maravillosos. La comida ha sido hermosos tiempo y la panceta de cerdo es increíble! Vinimos para mi cumpleaños de niñas 7th, somos el inter tiempo trató como una princesa, el cual terminó en todo el restaurante cantando su feliz cumpleaños. Un recuerdo que nunca olvidará y ni me!

Decidimos quedarnos en el Jenny Wren como amigos ir normal y recomendado. El personal era tan cálido y amable como el pub y fuego! Gran lugar fuera de los circuitos que sin duda vale la pena viajar. El menú no es más complicado y una gran ofertas especiales también.

My wife & I visited last weekend. Very warm & friendly welcome/staff made it a really nice evening. An excellent pianist playing easy listenning tunes was also enjoyable.Only disappointment was the food, which was average. It's a very old pub, nicely decorated, warm and welcoming. Worth giving it a try if you're in the area.

Visited in the middle of Storm Doris. Was made very welcome indeed and so was the dog. Had a great dinner in this pub with a cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended .. we would love to come back in the summer!

I have visited this pub a number of times in the past and really enjoyed it, but after my most recent visit I will not return. I booked for Christmas day. The food was very poor and when I complained to the waitress I did not get a satisfactory response. The vegataria dis was missing a pastry top and was mostly gravy. We were not offered drinks even though it was suposed to be table service. I was going to order wine but they missed out on a sale. I did not get the dessert I ordered and the waiterss tried to tell me I had ordered the wrong thing. All in all my family and I were very disappointing, the food was over priced and rubbish. The service was very poor and clearly the staff were not used to this kind of service. I had told my family how amazing this place would be for Christmas dinner and I was left feeling really embarrassing as my family did not enjoy their meals. I did later complain to the management but I did not get a response. Very disappointed.

After looking at reviews was looking forward to going to the Jenny wren. Made it a family affair and took 11 people.The service was good, beer choice average but the food sub standard.My wife's pie had been burnt on top then obviously some of the burnt pastry scraped off. The gravy with the pie was tasteless - probably a packet mix and my "Rib eye" steak was a grisselly price of rump. Saying that at least it was medium rare like I asked. Can say the Stilton sauce was very good. Unfortunately the sticky toffee pudding was hard in places as it had been over microwaved. Also just looked online and saw this pub was rated 0 for hygiene in September '16So all in all not a recommendation!

Booked our Christmas Meal at the Jenny Wren for this year. Were here a couple of years ago but this year they had set up a long table in the bar downstairs. Open fire, a lady playing the piano in the corner. Food was excellent and plenty. Coffee and mince pies afterwards. Would definitely recommend this place

Always loved it here but past few visits disappointing - but hadn't been for few months so decided to give it another try booked a table 3pm it was quiet we were only table in and a party upstairs as always manager very friendly we ordered drinks. We prompted waitress to sit at our table which was not that clean the bench had crumbs from a previous customer and even a party hat was squashed behind the cushion it was clear she was very un experienced in her role as did not know what drinks were available or what soup it was or that there had been a change from chicken to turkey on the menu but to be fair she was very polite and tried her best. We seemed to be waiting around to order and get our food.The Sunday dinners were average the roast potatoes were soggy far from roasted but my meat the beef was nice my partner had lamb it seemed burnt in places my sister had pork the scratching was soggy the sauces we requested like horse radish mint sauce etc came in huge pots with like half a teaspoon in not enough for one person let alone the table the desserts were ok but again a pot with cream not enough for even a spoonful let alone to spread on your dessert. The bill seemed very pricey for the what we had and our experience. It's ashame maybe one of those days but would not go back in a hurry.

We booked a Christmas meal for 33 of us and were given the function room for the afternoon. Despite the staff having a loud and chaotic family to cope with, they were friendly, calm and organised throughout. The food was beautiful and left us feeling stuffed! The staff were really helpful with any requests and made our Christmas meal a massive success. Can't thank them enough.

Went on Friday night my husband really enjoyed everything and he is fussy. Staff friendly food delicious... Definitely be back

I phoned to book our Christmas Day Lunch back in September 2016 to ensure that we got booked in as we have been for the past two years for Christmas Day and my 83 year old mum really looks forward to the day and thoroughly enjoys her Christmas Day lunch out with the family. I was told at the time of the booking that we were booked in and given the time of our Lunch as 1.30 pm.I phoned 7th November 2016 to enquire when they would like the deposit as previous years we have paid a deposit and was told by the member of staff who answered the phone that they did not require a deposit. Whilst I was on the phone I asked her to check our booking as last year there was a slight error with the number of people we had booked. Ii was told that she could not see that we were booked in and that there was no record of our booking and they were now fully booked. Obviously I was very annoyed as I had purposely booked early to ensure my Mum was not disappointed but she stated that she would "get the manager to phone me the next day and see if he could fit us in". Three days later and I have still not received an apology or a phone call. Obviously with it getting closer to Christmas I have had problems trying to get booked in anywhere else as most places were fully booked. I have previously recommended the pub and food to friends and colleagues, but I will definitely not be recommending them again to anyone and will not be returning.

excellent home made pie ,steak was great .staff very friendly.excellent evening thanks.nice old cosy pub

We recently visited to celebrate our youngest sons birthday as its one of his favourite places to eat (already a budding food critic at 10) there were 6 of us in the party and we all had something different from the menu all the food was well cooked an well presented and very good the service was also excellent.

Visited here with 35 others as part of an organised trip to the area. We had the restaurant to ourselves, which was good.The food I had was lovely - the fish pie was tasty and very hot! Unfortunately others found the roast beef to be a little 'chewy'! The portions were a good size and mine was all well cooked and presented.The staff were friendly and helpful.The atmosphere of the evening was greatly enhanced by the beautiful piano playing of Camilla, which was an unexpected bonus.

Visited today for Sunday lunch and wasn't disappointed. Great food at good prices with very pleasant staff. The server in her first day serving did a brilliant job.

Managed to get a table booked for the piano evening last night absolutely not disappointed. Atmosphere was perfect for a couples romantic meal. The pianist played beautifully.Food was spot on too. My wife said her steak was cooked to perfection and my lasagne was to die for.Finished off with a gorgeous slice of cheese cake and a floater coffee.Only thing that let's the jenny wren down is the run down toilets

Returned here to try it after a few years absence. First impressions as you walk in through the very worn back door is that the place is a little tired and could do with some redecorating. We had the baked Camembert and the Thai fish cakes as starters, but they were nothing special. My meat pie was very tasty, but my wife's scampi was tasteless and a big disappointment. If you want basic pub grub, then you will be ok, but if you are looking for something special, then this isn't the place. Will we return? I doubt it.
