Went here for a funeral: the food provided was delicious, though possibly not great if you needed to eat gluten free. Attentive staff and good atmosphere - on the day we were there, there was lots of music from the 80s and 90s.

Three of us ate here last night. We were seated inside but there is outside seating and several pods. My wife does not usually have a starter but the choice was so tempting she decided to join us. We had three different starters and three different mains. All were excellent. I had two of the exotic meats on a hot slate. Very different, and tasty. To finish off we had puds from the specials board. Again very good. We could have chosen from the extensive menu but were swayed by the chalk. Definitely a place to visit again.

Really excellent food, lovely well-kept beer, wonderful service and a great atmosphere. I’m sure it helped that we were there on a gorgeous sunny evening, but this place was a 10/10 midweek night out from our point of view! We both chose “hot rock” options for our mains. That whole experience was fun, and worked particularly well out in the fresh air (we sat in one of the garden “pods”, which were fab). Meat, sides and sauces were delicious, and the chips were incredible - crispy and fluffy and somehow stayed hot for ages! Highly recommend this pub - we will be back to try some other menu items, and particularly keen to leave room for an ice cream sundae next time.

They have a tremendous choice on their menu, including large or small portions. Love the music they had playing which contributed to the relaxed atmosphere.

Nothing was an issue and they were very attentive! The pub is literally a 10 minute walk and feel will be me and partners new local for food. We got the steaks that you cook yourself and they were very good quality. I can’t praise this pub enough. Will be returning.

Just had chips and peppercorn sauce here, and oh my goodness! How moreish? And I've got to say, these are the best chips in the world, bar none, even if you do have to wait a bit before starting to eat them because they are served piping hot. Crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked potato on the inside. Aside from that, fantastic service from the lovely Vickie and Pat, who truly make this place like visiting friends.

The service from the landlord and the two ladies was great too, thank you very much! The guest beer "Abingdon Bridge" was also in impeccable condition, so it would be rude not to have a second one, wouldn't it! All in all a very enjoyable evening, thank you very much Nick, Tina and the Team! We'll be back!

We have been going to this pub for years as my elderly and unadventurous parents liked it. Sadly the quality of food has gone downhill, and a birthday meal recently was very disappointing. My salmon was just a dry tail and tasted freezer burnt. The sauce was non descript. The roasted vegetables were undercooked, and only the potatoes were enjoyable. The other meals were variable and the pork was better. We will take our custom elsewhere in future.

Great place to go for a drink with friends, but the menu is old and outdated. The menu is huge meaning almost everything is either deep-fried or not cooked fresh, and often comes smothered in commercial sauces and flavourings. Homemade is not a word you see on the menu. You can only get a steak (beef, ostrich, kangaroo) if you have it on a hot stone - how '80's is that! I cannot remember when the menu was last changed. This is a potential gem of a place that would become a real diamond with just a few changes like a couple of homemade specials (one veggie, one meat or fish) each week.

Four of us had a late lunch at The Spread yesterday, 17th September. The meal was outstanding. My husband chose the ribs and the meat was falling off the bone as he picked them up. I had Oriental Salmon which was delicious. Other meals were chicken madras and Mango Surprise, also very good indeed. Starters and deserts were also very tasty. The two waitresses were very friendly and cheerful, which makes a big difference. We are fairly new to this Pub but will certainly be making return visits.

Interesting and recently refurbished and extended pub serving breakfast, hot drinks and cakes, a hot food menu and sells a small amount of refrigerated supplies and gifts. The current car park is limited due to building works storage but does have an overflow carpark. Two restaurant areas and a pub bar area with a log fire soon to be commissioned. Arrived at 12 noon for a booking but staff were running around and not talking to us, just a few words to say they would be with us in a few minutes would have been appreciated but just walked past - some training maybe needed on how to greet guests waiting. Ordered the Christmas lunch which was a very good portion for starters and mains though deserts were a little wanting for the bland presentation and taste two scoops of ice cream for the price. Servers were very helpful and friendly after we were seated though food delivery was a little slow due to a 90th birthday party. Only thing I would say about the Christmas dinner was that the potatoes and veg looked and tasted reheated from the previous day as the roast whilst crispy were missing most of the inner potato and the roast carrots were dry and curly but the rich gravy did liven up the meal. Worth a try and will hopefully get better!. Will return to try breakfast next time.
