Lovely warm atmosphere, good mix of people, service was great and food absolutely delicious. My Hungarian goulash was full of flavour, good size portion and really well priced. It was great to receive the food hot (doesn’t always happen when you’re out, right?) therefore the whole experience was spot on. For locals or passers by I highly recommend.

Excellent food. The two curries were delicious. The bar could have been a tad warmer. Local beer was good. Outside let's this pub down. Circular tables outside need removing or completely refurbished. There was litter in the car park and the grounds could do with some TLC before the spring.

We had a very nice lunch at the Temple Inn today. I recommend the heritage tomato and goats cheese salad on a toasted sourdough bread! It's very special. The chips are huge and cooked to perfection: crispy outside and soft&fluffy in the middle. Overall, it's a really good English pub and worth a visit. We'll be back for sure.

Small and smart pub with pleasant garden (tables, parasols), decking (blankets, fairy lights) and inside areas. Polite and helpful staff. Consistently enjoyable food from compact menu. Above standards of larger pub chains in my opinion. A little pricey, but everyone needs to make a living, especially these days. Well worth a try..

Went for a family drink and was accosted by the drunk chef on his day off!!! He decided to sit at our table uninvited and interrupt our private family conversation because he was ‘bored’ !!! Appalling. This would never have been allowed to occur with the previous manager… come back Craig and Amy. Unfortunately The Temple needs to have a complete overhaul of its staff and where the future lies with this local country pub. It was packed previously now very few people there. I now know why …

We've been visiting the Temple Inn for a number of years now for both food and drink. Recently the manager of the pub has changed and the change isn't a good one. On 2 separate occasions now last orders has been called before 1030 with the expectation of the pub shutting before 11pm (both times have been a Saturday night). On the last occasion it was clear that the supervisor just wanted to go home, and made his displeasure at us finishing our drinks at 1050 known. To be honest if you want a pub for food then this one is okay but don't expect to be able to stay until the published closing time. I for one won't be going back as my last experience has tainted the pub for me. There are friendlier pubs in the area who would welcome you business. This one doesn't so you're probably better off supporting those pubs that wasn't your business rather than this one that doesn't.

We had a nice bottle of wine reasonably priced and three rounds of drinks. £180 with a tip. Rounds of drinks could have been a bit quicker as it was very quiet but not a Big issue.

Always a friendly welcome at The Temple. Felt very safe, as they are following Covid guidelines. Food, as always, delicious, although some might think them slightly on the expensive side. They do have a great loyalty card system in operation though, which gives discounts for birthdays, etc. Great place to go with family or friends. On this occasion we ate indoors, but previously we have eaten under cover outside. Definitely would recommend and go, whenever I get the opportunity :)

Lovely meal, been here several times since pubs have re-opened. The food has been good both times. Service was great, friendly and attentive. COVID wise everything feels very safe, the tables are well spaced, masks are required when walking around and it’s simple to scan the COVID app when you arrive. Just a few things that could possibly improved on - we weren’t keen on the outdoor heaters, they seemed to give off more smoke than heat! The tube patio heaters would be more efficient. One member of the family also ordered the sweet and sour pork which was not the best unfortunately. Saying that, we’ll be back because it’s a great place and no where is 100% perfect, would 100% recommend to anyone!

We have been here a few times as we are local. The roasts are really good. The other meals we’ve has were okay, nothing special, and a bit overpriced for what was served. Putting that all aside I would go back if it wasn’t for the rude customer service. The general manager is very rude, not only to us/ our friends but we also saw how he spoke to other customers, who also seemed shocked by how they were treated. A real shame for a small village local.

Today I came to have a drink after work. The Manager (Craig) was incredibly rude and I’m disgusted by the way he spoke to me and my family as we are meant to be loyal customers. I am genuinely shocked how someone that rude can be a manager of a pub. Bret, the assistant is always incredibly polite and always insuring the customers are happy. However when we walked into the pub we were immediately greeted by unnecessary rudeness and abuse. I would recommend not going to the temple inn, the manager (Craig) has no respect for the customers and only cares about money.

This place has managed to incorporate a high standard of Covid precaution without making you feel on edge. Plenty of spacing, clear instructions but staff remain friendly and relaxed. One point to note, allow plenty of time, the Temple is working with reduced kitchen staff in line with capacity and this can mean you wait for your food. But I fully understand why and would not deduct a point for that.
