Nice food, could do with slightly bigger portions. Mains need to be substituted with a side to be full. Good cocktails.

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast at this beautifully decorated restaurant. The generous portions of veggies were perfect for sharing, and the cocktails were fantastic. The only downside was that the back room was quite cold, making it hard to relax without our coats. However, we love this place for its food and ambiance, and we’ll definitely be back!

food was great especially the tomotoes on toast with whipped feta and the roast was amazing, shame some of it had to go to waste if only they had containers for me to take it home.

What a lovely find. We were in the area for one night and Googled places to eat. Google certainly delivered! Our meals and drinks were delicious and the service from Summer and Leah was excellent. Really friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness. I’d definitely recommend The Malt if you’re in the area.

As always, the Malt never fails to impress. You receive a greeting upon arrival at the bar, with a very friendly member of staff and promptly shown to your table. The menu caters for all tastes and pockets. The dishes vary every time you visit. The food is always well presented and tastes delicious. All the staff are friendly and approachable. You can't rail to be impressed. The restaurant is rustic and well present. It is advisable to book, especially at the weekend. The only thing that let's it down is the parking, it is limited, which does cause a problem at the weekend. Unfortunately, they are very restricted with space, due to the local railway line. Taking this into account, this would not stop me visiting The Malt.

I'd read all the reviews about how dog friendly this pub was and so had booked several days in advance to take the family for Sunday lunch, noting in the booking that we would have our dog with us. Our parent's are in their 80's, so logistically we have to be organised. I got the confirmation for the booking on the day that I booked it, so just before 1pm, the time we'd reserved, we arrived on the car park. As I was helping my Mom out of the car my phone started ringing and I realised it was the pub calling. As we were on the car park, we went in, intrigued as to why they were calling us. The bar where we entered seemed to be in darkness and the young guy behind the bar told us to walk up the three large steps where someone could help us with our booking. So we helped Mom (who uses a wheelchair normally) up the stairs, where the waitress told me that they'd tried calling me to say that they did not accept dogs. I said that 2 mins notice was crazy and could they seat us outside - where surely dogs are ok? She "had a word with the Manager" and he agreed that they would put the lights on in the bar and serve us Sunday lunch there. So, we tried getting Mom back down the steps and unfortunately she stumbled at the 3rd one, jolting her back. This knocked her quite sick and we had to leave the pub. As we walked out of the door we passed two other parties of people coming in....with dogs....The whole experience was truly awful. For anyone that is an unpaid carer like myself, trying to organise 2 elderly people for Sunday lunch is an all day affair, so for us to have to go home without lunch was a horrible end to what should have been a lovely day. I should have known when we pulled onto the car park that the pub wasn't very 'elderly friendly', as there were crates loaded up on the disabled parking space, so we couldnt park there anyway. My advice is - dont bother with this pub, there's plenty of others in the area that are friendlier and more professional.

Probably the most consistent pub/restaurant in the area - always great. Constructive feedback - more seating required for the non-restaurant visitors, the big tables (6-8 seaters) often get occupied by a couple so you run out of space quite quickly.

Really disappointed with our visit here on 10th February. My father in law had booked a table for 10 on the 9th January and asked for us to be seated all together. On 10th Feb he receives a call to say they won't be able to sit us all together and tables would be apart. Fast forward to us arriving and the tables were nowhere near each other. Can't understand why they didn't cancel the booking if you can't accomdate for large bookings. The staff didn't want to even try to rectify the situation. And to top it off gave one of our tables away whilst we were still in the restaurant. It was almost like they didnt want our custom.Shocking service and based on this will not be returning there are far nicer restaurants with better service from staff. Ended up going for a curry Sat all together and had a great evening!

The food here is outstanding and the atmosphere is very homely and comfortable.

The phone was ringing off the hook when we visited and nobody picked it up but had a few members of staff standing at the desk, which is clear why nobody picked up when we attempted to call the previous day to confirm our table numbers. Apart from this it is well worth a visit!

Brilliant place to visit with fantastic views in a hidden location, definitely worth many more visits, the service was warm and welcoming which definitely added to our experience, my only negative was I felt the menu was not vegan or vegetarian friendly and seemed a little confusing, but apart from that it's a place most people will enjoy visiting.
