Huge thank you to Jason and team. He had to cope with 24 loud and merry guests for Xmas dinner last night, but service was with a smile and the food was delicious and piping hot. Well done and thank you for looking after us so well 🥳🎄🥂

Quality roast dinner . I went with my wife and mother in law. We all ordered the roast beef . Veg was fresh cooked perfectly, beef was tender and tasty. Gravy was excellent. All our dinners came out pipeing hot just the way we like it .Yorkshire homemade . Waitress didn't catch her name but she was very friendly and polite. Overall an excellent dinner would recommend if you love a roast and a very friendly pub. After our meal we went into the bar for our coffee. Atmosphere was lovely a really village feel ,locals all polite and friendly some of them with there dogs which we loved . Couldn't fault this pub a lovely Gem!!

The food is homemade and excellent. Steak and ale pie, spot on. Shortcrust pastry spot on. Battered fish spot on. Cannot fault it. Tables laid out great. Cosy. Only one downer, only 2 puddings on - Vegan yuk cheesecake or chocolate cake. Good job I was full up, but I thought given the quality of the mains that the puddings would have been cracking. So a disappointment. But still 5 stars. Hopefully pudding next time.

I absolutely love the old farm inn. It was an extremely welcoming place that was packed when we turned up. It was full of punters from the local village having a drink and a laugh. This may not be the nicest environment for a family meal. However, when we turned up, we spoke to the bartender, who got one of his waitresses to show us to our table. We were in for quite a pleasant surprise as we were taken through some doors and into a separate room which had a total of seven tables, dark beams going across the ceiling, and an old stone fireplace. It was an awesome dining area that not only had an extremely cosy atmosphere but also was separated from the main bar. Therefore, there was little to no noise from those who were having a night out. The customer service was very good, and the waiters/waitresses were extremely polite and easy to start small talk with. They had an extensive menu of meals with huge variety, although it was a Sunday, so they were not cooking their full menu. We waited quite a while for our food to come out, about 30 minutes, but I'd say it was worth it for the quality of food in comparison to the low prices. There were five of us eating a main meal and a starter each plus the drinks. It came to a total of about £100 which is extremely reasonable for what was bought. In this case, some of the drinks were alcoholic, so all in all, they are very good prices. The waitress came to check on us a few times and to see if we were enjoying our meal she also offered to get anything for us if we would like something else to eat or to drink. The staff of The Old Farm Inn were extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of the place was cheery and welcoming. The food was very good for pub grub (I'd recommend the scampy for your main). The prices were extremely reasonable; even after taking into consideration the alcoholic beverages that were consumed. The only complaint is that the food took a little while to come out; but it was still hot and worth the extra time. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Old Farm Inn to those who wish to have a cheap meal but with good food or to those who would like to go and have a night out and get a few drinks, four stars.

My Mum recently passed away, when we held the wake we looked around for catering options. Jason, Vicky, Phil and I am sure several others were involved and were amazing in their support for us as well as providing external catering to our wake venue. It was delivered on time, hot, and very tasty.. They catered for 100 guests and there was still some left afterwards. No one went hungry. Our difficult day was made easier by their support! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

As an update, glad to say that normal service has resumed with a change of staff and very happy to report that the beer (Pride) was up to standard when we visited today, glad to say this is still our local. We’ve been coming here for years and always had good beer (love a good pint of London Pride) but recently the beer has been poor and the bar service just rude. I keep trying to come back as it’s our local, but giving up now. Completely different experience at the Cross Keys, with great beer and professional staff

Poor service. Guy brings mine and my partners food out and spills my full drink over the table and all over my baby cousin. She gets upset as she’s now soaked and his response was “it’s fine it’s only water” what a joke. Doesn’t even offer to get some towels to help us get her dried off or offer to refill the drink either as he spilt it, just didn’t care about his actions. Shocking behaviour from all the staff, just none of them looked like they wanted to be there and were super miserable. Would not recommend. 👎🏻

Woman behind the bar who thinks she owns the place, I think her name is Sue. Throwing strops like a child and closing the bar for 5 mins claiming there were no glasses when there was a plenty of glasses. Poor young girl behind the bar looked so embarrassed. Takes an age to get a drink anyway without Sue kicking off. Had to ask for our money back because the food took so long. Very poorly run. A couple of people even served themselves because they were sick of waiting.

The Bar it was extremely crowded, took so long to be served. The food was oki. They given me only the food menu, so for the drink I just had to pick up a classic soda, as I thought they must have it. Not very pleased with the location and service. Also, customer pets were allowed inside, I am scared of dogs ,so I wasn’t that happy to see so many dogs around me while I was at the bar. The good thing it was the garden, the bunch was bit funny, but the weather helped me to enjoy it.

We ordered drinks, sat in the beer garden, and just watched the world go by... I found the drinks to be a reasonable price.. I was drinking Archers n Cokes (double shots😱) BUT never got drunk.. As we were sitting in the garden, I spied a beautiful old car..so took a sneeky pic... The people are so friendly, everyone said, "hello, Good morning, Good bye".. Etc..

Had my husband's belated wake plus belated 80th birthday at The Old Farm Inn. We had it in the garden with marquee as we both have large families. Jason provided everything I asked for, an outside bar, real ale and a lovely buffet. We had several little children who were also provided for with a bouncy castle, football goals and a couple of swings. Made even better by the sun coming out.Very pleasant staff, could not do enough for us and coped well with 140 of my guests. Could not thank them enough, such a pleasant day.

Called as a couple on way to Whipsnade Zoo. Friendly staff....lovely little village pub.....thats where the good stuff ends.Very limited menu-just 4 meals plus 3 different burgers....or jacket spuds or sandwiches.Opted for Gammon, chips & egg. The gammon was actually a joint of ham boiled , not a gammon slice and my 2 slices were raw/uncooked in the middle. I was brought 2 more slices on a side plate while the landlady held out her hand to slap my two uncooked pieces into her hand.....so now ive got 2 cooked slices sat on my plate where the raw bits have been.....have they not done the kitchen training about raw and cooked foods? Obviously not. Chips were dried up. I’d have given 0 rating if possible. Im really struggling to see where or how they have got any positive reviews at all.

A fantastic pub with a wonderful cozy vibe. We heard about the dukes’ rating on tripadvisor and decided to have a roast here. Lovely old listed building with a thatched roof, low ceilings, open fires and dimly lit fairy lights inside make it a very nice place to go. The food was exceptional. I was served the most tender and flavourful lamb and roasties with tenderstem broccoli, carrots and cabbage and I couldn’t get enough of the cauliflower cheese. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. Truly wonderful. The staff were attentive and knew everything about the menu when we asked questions and were quick to take the order. Top marks I’d have no issue recommending this pub.

Visited for coffee and cake, apparently this has been taken over recently so the current service does not seem to reflect the previous reviews on this site. We waited for ages for a couple of coffees and cake to be brought over, was also pretty smoky in there from whatever was cooking. Plus point was that the cakes we had were really nice, the coffee was nice but lukewarm and the 15 minutes it took to get them wasn't great. Also, some of the décor is a bit worn out. The place was not busy when we visited mid-morning so could really do a lot better.

The front of house aspects were understandably good for a village pub offering excellent food and beer choice; however, what I'll really take away from this place is how good their gents toilets smelt! It was sublime! If you're the type of drinker who judges an establishment by how they maintain their toilets, then this place is a winner for you! 👍🏻🙂
