A nice enough meal but service was lacking. Didn't feel welcomed at all. Reluctant to ask staff for anything, had to, not usual way when you eat out.

I have always liked the Old Hatchet, it remains a pleasant spot for a drink, and the interior is not without charm and staff are generally welcoming. However, it seems to have been struggling on the dining side for sometime now. Although priced at the same level, the offering (menu options and variety, quality, delivery) compares poorly to nearby equivalents and our recent visit was very disappointing - bland taste, burnt, sides clearly out of a freezer bag. I believe there have been a number of changes of ownership over recent years but these haven't come with any noticeable shake up of the offering, nor any ambition to revamp the look, feel or focus (including the outside area which feels like more could be made of it)

Recently enjoyed lunch with members of a book group. There was a good choice on the set menu and the food was tasty and portions generous. The chef catered very well for one member with vegetarian/dietary requirements. Very welcoming staff and good value and service. Will certainly come here again.

We had dinner pre theatre, and had never been to the Old Hatchet before. Everything was wonderful, from the fire burning, cosy atmosphere, welcome from staff. But the food was sublime! We had a roast chicken and steak and kidney pie. The pie was the best my partner had ever had, with so much meaty filling and chips that were astonishing good. And my chicken roast, with superb gravy, so flavoursome, dauphinous potatoes and roast carrot was absolutely delicious. A feast of flavour and beautifully presented. The staff were exceptional. You don't find food this wonderful and staff this good at what they do in many places. We can't wait to return.

The staff were friendly, professional and very attentive. The bonus was that the pub was as good as I remembered it. We will definitely be going again.

The restaurant was empty but we waited 45 minutes for our food to come out! We then ordered dessert which again took a very long time to come out. No one came up to us to check on us throughout the evening. We waited for a good 20 minutes for Someone to take our payment of our bill. As No one came so we gave the payment to a member of staff standing by the till and as we walked out, a member of the staff shouted across the pub that we hadn’t paid. He was actually very rude towards us. It would appear the staff were having a good chat with each other behind throughout the evening. It’s such a shame the pub use to be so lovely but this time the staff really ruined our experience and I don’t think we will be returning

This was our first visit to a bar following the easing of lockdown and we were so impressed by their covid protocols. Since then we have enjoyed a superb sunday lunch and dined several times under the bedouin style tent, complete with lighting and heating, in the large garden area.The food is excellent and beautifully presented served by a well trained and knowledgeable team. The emphasis is clearly on using top quality ingredients skillfully prepared. The menu offers a good choice with daily specials, "Wings Wednesday" has developed a strong following and on Friday there is a a fish special.The wine selection is well balanced and very reasonably priced. The Old Hatchet is a great addition to our local dining choices.Highly recommended give it a try.

One of my favourite places to eat but today had an awful roast lamb Sunday lunch. So much fat on the meat, I never ate any of it. Pointed it out to the waitress who didn’t do anything. Coupled with a flat Diet Coke that had to be replaced - very disappointing birthday lunch.That said the chocolate brownie was delicious so (brownie) points for that!

Last year, a road closure led us on a different route, saw the Hatchet & decided to pop in for lunch; so glad we did as we keep coming back!Great food especially whitebait, fish & chips and the burger (best I have ever had), plus a recent change of the amazing pie to my favourite of steak & kidney pudding!Post closure, they have done a great job managing the whole distancing, table service & track-trace, plus a great clean down post leaving. Best I have seen in the way they have approached it, staff all masked up & quick order to delivery time on drinks / extras. Have invested in bringing the inside outside with a huge awning / marque has allowed more people to eat in the current climate whilst undercover.It is now our No.1 place to go & wish it was our local within walking distance vs a 15 min drive, the best combo of ales and food I have had.Well done, keep up the great work

Four of us went for a Sunday roast including a 12 month old baby. The pub was very friendly and baby friebdltSince Covid they have a really lovely outside seating area and are following guidelines The roast dinner was really good and I would really recommend it.The only thing I would say is there were a few tables with dogs and they were walking there dogs around and getting close to the tables. When my daughter became restless in the high chair and we took her away from people to have a look around while we waited for the bill we were told to go back to our table due to Covid guidelines. However, those walking dogs around the tables and getting close to us were not told the same advice.

Went back the The Old Hatchet after a very very long time due to a terrible meal the last time we went, now new Management and Staff. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our table, the menu was not the biggest in the world but for a Sunday lunchtime it had a good selection, the food arrived as ordered and was a good size portion and was good quality, maybe a little on the pricier side for the area but still nice. However, what i do strongly object to is eating my lunch with dogs wondering around some not on leads. One owner was sitting on the leather soft with his BIG dog sitting next to him ..... It was soaking outside so the dog must of been wet and dirty to, after he left i saw a couple wiping down the seat so they could sit on it.... The table next to us had a dog on a lead who kept jumping up and the bar area was full of dogs. I'm sorry but even as a dog lover I do not want to sit and have my lunch with dogs all around me, its a restaurant not a Dog Kennel. Leave your dogs at home they don't want to be there ! - What about people who have allergies to Dogs, I'm sure something would be said if someone had a peanut allergy as I was sitting eating a bag of nuts. - Maybe make the top bar area dog friendly and the restaurant dog free maybe ?

The place is still steeped in character, with a nice long bar and open fireplace, but the difference in the staff and food is amasing. Canadian waitress was a delight and the bar staff very attentive. The food prices might be nominally above the norm for the area, but it not expensive - starters, main courses and a bottle of wine was £60 for two. Keep it up guys, the area needs places like this.

It would be good to see a few pub staples at a slightly cheaper price. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed all our food & will return for a special occasion.

Amazing Succulent food and so well presented that we cleared our plates even though our tummies were full. On such a cold damp day we were warm and satiated. Big thank you to all the team for making our time with you such a lovely experience.

Having used the bar frequently since the new ream took over around six months ago and listening to glowing recommendations 4 of us dined a couple of weeks ago. We were not disappointed. Starters of avocado and seafood and Cesar salad were delicious and beautifully presented. Mains of duck and rump of lamb also excellent. Again presentation was excellent. The wine list offers a good choice at sensible prices. Combine this with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic front of house team under the watchful eye of the new owners and you have a truly winning combination. We enjoyed the experience we booked to go back for Sunday lunch (served til late) and enjoyed the best Sunday roast we have had for a long time, the beef flavourful and tender and melt in the mouth lamb and vegetables served on the side. Excellent.

Three consecutive meals with friends and family have been brilliant here since it reopened. We’ve just had a Sunday roast, steak and kidney pie and the octopus special to start and absolutely beautiful. Very happy to recommend and lovely old pub with an unpretentious feel, great food and really lovely staff. Also REALLY nice wine glasses.

Decided to give this old favourite a trial under the new management. So so glad we did. A lovely meal was had by all enhanced by the wonderful ambience and attitude of staff— all of whom were superb.

We have not been to the pub for a drink or meal in the restaurant for quite a long time. We were impressed with the friendly service and general ambiance of the restaurant area. The food was very good two of us having the nights special tomahawk pork chop and one the pigeon. Everyone enjoyed their food very much, and even though the pigeon was a little difficult to eat after the plates had been cleared away the waitress came back to the table and said that meal would be taken off our bill. This was excellent service and handled extremely well by both kitchen and front of house staff. We shall all definitely be returning in the future.

I went with friends for dinner at the Old Hatchet. None of us has been there before and apparently there was a rumour that the chef had changed, which is not always good news. However, whether there had been a change or not it certainly didn't affect the meals we had. It was excellent and the service exemplary

Four of us dined at The Old Hatchet last Friday for the first time under the current ownership. It turned out to be a wonderful evening. Pre dinner drinks in the comfortable bar followed by a superb meal in the busy restaurant. To start, the avocado seafood cocktail was both delicious and beautifully presented, as was the ceaser salad. Of the main courses the duck and rump of lamb were outstanding. The wine list offers a good choice and is good value. Factor in attentive service from enthusiastic staff and this is a winning combination. As the sign outside says "You gotta eat here". A first class restaurant set in a lovely country pub.

I was very impressed with the quality of the food. I was also pleasantly surprised by the interesting dishes on offer. It isn't an extensive menu, however I often think that is a positive thing and in this case it is: what they do they do well! We went for a family lunch and there was something to please everyone, from young to old, meat lover to vegetarian. The staff were cheerful and helpful and the waiting staff clearly know the menu and were able to advise and recommend.

Sorry to say it was just a soggy mess. Thin over cooked beef, soggy potatoes and Yorkshire a with a mean serving of vegetables and watery, runny tasteless horseradish. The whole plate was saturated in a tasteless gravy resembling a plate of soup.

Lovely pub is quiet location. Visited on Sunday with my partner. Food was really nice and not to expensive. However menu was very small and so were the portions. It was good food but not enough of it in my opinion. Lots of other places to chose locally which offer better value for money.

We went for Sunday lunch yesterday. We hadn’t booked but were early so not a problem getting a table. We both had roast pork and it came with an enormous Yorkshire pudding which I love. Plenty of roast potatoes along with a dish of four different vegetables. We both had a dessert which was part of the two courses for £20.95. I had warm chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream along with some summer berries. It was delicious. Hubby had sticky toffee pudding. The service was brilliant even though the restaurant had started to get busy. Would definitely recommend a visit here. Will be back for sure.

Risotto Monk Fish mmmmmmm and the dipping sauce with the sweet potatoe fries exotic and delicious. What’s great is the consistency every time Now. AND alcohol free gin! Thank you we will be back.

Went on Friday night with a group of 14 to celebrate 4 birthdays. From the moment we booked, communication was excellent (which is reassuring when you've suggested a venue) and Friday night didn't dissapoint.

A little out the way, but pretty as a picture, this is a pub I've always admired on my way to work each day. A friend and I visited for dinner and, although the staff were clearly busy, we couldn't fault the service nor the food. The salmon and risotto were of high restaurant standard and generously portioned. We started the night in the pretty garden and made our way inside the cosy pub for nightcaps as it got cooler. Not the cheapest place but worth every penny

Just had Sunday lunch here and we loved it. Restaurant was busy and buzzy but the staff were still really friendly and efficient. The camembert was excellent as was my husband's pork belly roast. My fillet steak was a little overcooked but was very tasty nonetheless. It was our first visit but we will be back.

Place was clean and very welcoming. Booked for my sons birthday he's 9. Paul was especially fantastic, great teacher and very patient with the young ones learning. He was calm in situations and made sure the boys knew what they were doing to keep them safe. Thank you so much Paul (Bob) for the awesome time the boys absolutely loved the experience and can't wait to come back. Paul is a great asset to your team and should be awarded for his professionalism.

This is a lovely hotel, situated in a little village. We booked for lunch , the restaurant had two areas one large by the bar and entrance with a smaller area to side. We were sat near the kitchen door, service was slow as only one person was taking the orders and the restaurant was busy. The menu and food were disappointing and over priced. The arricini was ok ,Fish and chips were greasy, the chips were frozen and not cooked properly. The burger was raw inside ( we assumed they would ask if we wanted rare) . The sea bass was ok though it went back as I had asked for the sauce to be on the side. We had to ask for cutlery. The staff cleared the table while I was still eating and talking . Overall this was a disappointing visit with overpriced food , poor service. It’s not a place I shall be returning to.

Restaurant smells old. Service was really slow. Food was bad, but we were so tired it was eat or go hungry before sleeping in the Premier Inn. Car Park had many signs warning of Car Thieves Operate in this Area and Police Hotspot etc, I was genuinely a little nervous parking my car there.
