The Thornton Hunt Inn in North Lincolnshire

An all round lovely evening, brilliant atmosphere, nice food and a fantastic welcome. I could have stayed all night basking in the heat of the open fire. A real home from home and dog friendly too. I'd recommend you give it a try

Really impressed. We were greeted at the door. My mother has a mobility problem so they seated us in a place with plenty of room. I had the pie. It was good. There was no complaints at all on the mains. The landlord asked if there was a problem with the veg as my mother left her carrots, ( she just don't like carrots ). I was looking forward to the bread and butter pudding ( one reason why I wanted to go ) yes the pudding was nice but a little disapointed on the custard, But the landlord maid amends and apologised sincerely. He wanted all our comments if they were good or bad. He really went out of his way to make us comfortable and to try make it better. The young waitress was very professional and made sure all was OK and to call if we needed anything Yes I will be revisiting

Great little inn for accommodation in the area. We chose this place as it was in a little hamlet of Thornton Curtis. We had things to attend in nearby Hessle but wanted to be in the country. The hosts, Rob & Dean were excellent! The accommodation is very clean and tidy. The food is fabulous and hearty. Most of all the welcome and hospitality from the guys was wonderful. If you like inns then you’re be more than happy here.

Perfect accommodation for the price point! Excellent location for us as we were attending a wedding at Wootton Hall which is only a mile or so down the road. The accommodation is separate from the pub, so no worries about pub noise when staying! Room was very clean, perhaps a little dated in terms of decor, but everything you need in there. The hosts were great, nothing was too much trouble and the cooked breakfast was top notch too!

Thornton Curtis is a small village in Humberside, approx 1 mil’s walk from Thornton Abbey (sadly closed to visitors since pre-COVID) and not far from Humberside Airport. We were a family group of 5 seeking great food in a traditional pub setting. This is what we found at the Thornton Hunt Inn. Usually on Saturdays the kitchen closes at 1.30pm but they kindly stayed open to serve us. We had a lovely relaxed meal and met the most gorgeous intelligent collie called Shaun. The landlord was very friendly & courteous - nothing was too much trouble for our party. If you are looking for a fantastic meal with friendly service in a historic setting and are in the vicinity of Humberside, I would not hesitate to recommend the Thornton Hunt Inn. Not our first visit and definitely not our last.

Absolutely gorgeous home cooked Sunday lunch. Gorgeous wine and friendly landlords and locals. 100% recommend. The pub is so clean and the atmosphere is so friendly. They have a pub dog called Shaun who is so well behaved he doesn’t bother you unless you bother him and then he leaves you to it. Never begs or hovers around your table. Wish this pub was my local. Well worth the drive !

Had a slight accident in my car near the inn they was friendly and kind and let me keep my car there until recovery the day after I can’t show my appreciation enough

Stood at the bar for 10 mins with nobody else waiting as the staff member was having problems coping. There was only 10 people in the pub and we was told it was a half hour wait for food. I think this was because the microwave had a back log. The food came out so hot you couldn’t touch it for 10 mins. The food was poor, soggy garlic bread and the lasagna was just terrible. The worst £40 I have spent. On top of all this the room was 24 degrees.

Best service imaginable, really great food and an outstanding pub dog to boot! Ate here as a family of three, all the food was really great (starters mains and dessert) my son made best friends with the landlord's exceptionally well behaved collie and all the staff were sooooo lovely and friendly! Would come here again in a heartbeat.

Fab 2 night stay at this warm and friendly inn situated in the heart of the lovely village of Thornton Curtis. From the moment we arrived, all 11 of us were made to feel welcome by Shaun, Dean, Rob and Rachel - the hospitality, food, and accommodations are outstanding. We look forward to revisiting this little gem in the very near future.

Loved this place! Fabulous atmosphere on the Fri eve when I visited. It was buzzing with a mix of both diners and drinkers at the bar. Service was excellent from the welcoming Landlord, the friendly bar staff and efficient waiting staff. There is a large menu of freshly cooked food. I had the chilli and it was SO good. My friend had the fish and chips and said it was better than what he gets at the chippy. Will definitely be returning at the next opportunity!

Have started coming to this pub regularly for a social drink, as it’s a lovely atmosphere with welcoming staff and the owners were also lovely and welcoming! I had a lovely evening meal a couple of days ago and it was amazing! Large portion sizes (with the option for smaller portion sizes) and the food was so tasty, one of the best I’ve had round the area! The dog that they have is also so calm and relaxed, very well trained! Would highly recommend both for food and social drinks!

This pub is great for a meal and/or a few drinks, I couldn’t recommend visiting the pub enough. I don’t live in the village but have been made to feel very welcome by both of the owners every time I have visited, they’re great with absolutely hilarious senses of humour! I will definitely be visiting many times in the future! Plus their dog is the sweetest, well trained dog I’ve ever met. If your looking for a good time, it’s the pub for you!

My recent visit to the Thornton Hunt Inn was an absolute disaster from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was met with a rude and unwelcoming attitude from the landlord. It's clear that customer service is not a priority for them, as they barely acknowledged my presence and seemed more interested in scowling at customers than actually serving them. As if the landlord's demeanour wasn't bad enough, the presence of their unruly dog just added insult to injury. This dog seemed to have zero obedience training and was allowed to roam freely throughout the pub. Not only did it jump on tables and disturb patrons, but it also ignored any attempts to control it. The noise and chaos created by this dog made it impossible to enjoy any semblance of a relaxing atmosphere. I attempted to order a drink, but the landlord's dismissive attitude made me regret even trying. It's clear that they have no interest in providing a pleasant experience for their customers. I witnessed them chatting with a select group of regulars while ignoring newcomers like myself, which only reinforced the unwelcoming vibe of the place. Unsurprisingly the negative reputation of the landlord extends far beyond the confines of the pub itself. Throughout the village and among local businesses, tales of their rude and unwelcoming behaviour have become almost legendary. It's not just an isolated incident; it seems to be a consistent pattern that has unfortunately defined their interactions with the community.

My partner and I booked a room for the evening and its safe to say we regretted this decision. Not only are the rooms extremely dated and need a good clean the owner is incredibly rude and ignorant, my partner and I both left feeling completely flabbergasted as to how or why he is working in the hospitality industry. Although this is the only "pub" in the village there are much better options available on air bnb for accommodation. Don't waste your time and money.

After a recent visit i will not be returning. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired and sticky tables and a dog left to roam and approach us while eating wasn’t really appropriate. The staff looked miserable as did whom i presume was the owner, we also overheard a staff member swearing not really what you expect in a small village pub. It’s a real shame as its the only one in the village i believe.

Lovely food and great owners and staff. Had a brilliant meal and evening here. Highly recommended! We are coming back again soon

My recent visit to Thornton Hunt Inn left much to be desired. The presence of an unruly dog inside the pub raised concerns about cleanliness and hygiene. The staff's dishevelled appearance added to the disappointment also. Tables and floors were sticky, and restroom conditions were appalling. Improvements are urgently needed to restore confidence in this establishment.

The food was excellent the service was excellent the young man and young lady behind the bar were so welcoming we will be back very soon Home cooked food is second to none

Visited as a party of six for dinner Saturday evening I have visited this pub before but many years ago and it had a good reputation then locally as I remember. First impressions were great, the place is very well kept and immaculate The landlord was very friendly and chatty, declaring ‘tongue in cheek’ that they all work for Shaun the sheepdog, who is their pet. Shaun certainly set the standard for his team as he is a beautiful dog, very friendly and loves to interact with the punters. The entire evening just got better and better as the food was served, all freshly prepared and ‘top notch’ which served to complement the well kept ales , Timothy Taylor’s ‘Landlord’ and ‘Boltmaker’ We wholeheartedly recommend this unique pub and will certainly return

We had fish and chips. The menu misled me at first, stating that it either came with veg or salad. I was wrong (thank goodness...), fresh or mushy peas were offered, washed down a pint of Pedigree. Lovely. A great portion of very well cooked...

Lovely traditional pub, had a great meal for two. Really good food. Service was excellent, friendly atmosphere, just what every village needs.

Visited on Wednesday lunchtime for lunch with family. Friendly welcome. Food perfect as always, particularly the soup for starter was extremely tasty. Portions generous, even from the lite bites menu. Most importantly the Covid safe measures were extremely reassuring to see and will be returning again soon as felt very safe with the new safety measures.

We enjoyed another fabulous home cooked meal in my favourite pub. All health and safety measures were in place but it didn't distract from the usual relaxed ambience. Can't wait to visit again next month for a lunch. Excellent food with great hosts - thank you!

Hello decided after pubs allowed to open again to go for a meal tried here for the first time,with covid 19. rules barman once where told to sit plastic menu ( ideal for clean down ) plenty to choose from my wife choose the hotpot lamb and myself mixed grill left to eat with nobody coming across nothing you while you eat,my wife had a cherry crumble as it says on menu 15 mins which was correct and my wife loved will be back.

We have just been to this pub with our friends for lunch. The meal was one of the best pub meals I have ever had. I had the biggest 8oz gammon I have ever seen. my wife had plaice with the trimmings and our friends both had lamb hot pot. Everything was cooked fresh and served piping hot. The waitress was really pleasant and nothing was to much trouble. Thanks to you all for this wonderful meal.

We have eaten here many times in the past. The last time we visited we were disappointed but thought we'd give it another go. Don't quite know what's happened. New chef? Different kitchen staff? The pub itself is lovely and very friendly staffed. The food however is very average when it used to be so good. We had Sunday lunch. Very uninspiring vegetables and the meals arrived absolutely swimming in gravy. One slightly burnt Yorkshire pud to accompany the beef. Such a shame as we love the pub

We stayed from Friday to Sunday morning our base for a wedding the rooms were lovely had everything you needed very comfortable bed and spotless. Breakfast was very nice plenty of choice. Pub was very nice and a great menu choice. Staff were very helpful and friendly made our drive from Bristol very worthwhile j

Booked a table here with a friend for lunch, spoilt for choice with the menu, so need to go back again. Great friendly service and excellent food.

Had a lovely meal here with friends. It was my first visit and I was not disappointed. The menu is quite extensive and I opted for the fish pie. It was delicious will plenty of juicy prawns, salmon and white fish in a creamy sauce. I'd advise booking and will definitely be visiting again.

Waiting staff really friendly and the fish and chips were locally sourced and superb. was fairly busy on a Thursday night

Never been here before, what a pleasant place to eat, 80th Birthday so hadn't booked due to waiting to see if the young lady wanted to go out. Was greeted by a very helpful chap who was able to slot us in and the food is excellent, homemade pie and hotpot and other traditional pub favs, can definitely recommend and will be going back again.

Second time we have visited Thornton Hunt Inn for Sunday lunch and as previously the service and food was excellent. Although it was full of diners it wasn't noisy as with some pubs, so we could all enjoy our meals. Always leave room for deserts as they are very good and large portions. We will be back.

It was getting late and I needed a mealThe staff were excellent welcoming friendly and helpful. The beer was good but sadly the steak was tough

Visited with my partner for an evening meal. Food was amazing with the best ever home made chips ever. I had superb smoked haddock and prawn lasagne, so perfectly home made and luscious. We will be back - thank you.

Feels like home, traditional look and feel-I last went Im here 33 years ago and it was then, two benches, flat caps and farm talk-these days it’s a middle to older crowd on night we came in-food is top class well cooked, traditional menu-well cooked steak mushroom ale pie for me-landlord is very friendly-he biggest joy for me is the array of paintings relating to fox hunting in the area-The barmaids even say goodbye to you as they are leaving-highly recommended-leave room for puddings. Great selection of ales-well stocked bar-back for more-highly recommended.

Had the opportunity to visit the Thornton Hunt again after a few years, and am happy to report nothing has changed. Same wonderful pub fare, well prepared; same attentive staff.

Went with two work colleagues on the recommendation of another. Couldn’t fault the place. The staff were very welcoming and attentive with nothing being too much trouble. The menu has a great choice of wholesome food and all very reasonably priced. I had the liver and bacon casserole which was spot on! Nice and tender and a generous portion.

We eat quite regularly at the Thornton Hunt, upon every visit we are made to feel welcome by the staff. The pub has a cosy atmosphere of a traditional countryside pub, which has a special charm.

Went with family for my Birthday meal at lunchtime. From the moment we arrived we all felt that the waitress was very unwelcoming. We asked if we could order drinks and were firmly told we had to order at the bar. Once we had our drinks we were asked to order our meals, the food did come very quickly, it was all very tasty. We had dessert and afterwards it was quickly cleared away by the same waitress. We asked if we could order coffee, she seemed quite surprised at this, then shortly after we were brought our drinks we were told that they would be closing at 2:45! We had a few minutes to drink up and leave. Got to the car and the waitress speedily walked to her car and left before we managed to drive off. Overall a nice place just a shame that the staff don’t greet you with a smile rather than an inconvenience. Unfortunately I will not be recommending them because of this, such a shame!! Politeness costs nothing!!!!!

Booked a room as a surprise for hubby, as had also booked a meal. First time we had been and found the ambience very welcoming, a proper village pub feeling. Host was very curtious, nothing to much trouble. The meal was excellent and very generous helpings, the same with the breakfast in the morning. The room was spotless and very comfy. Highly recommended

Rang up at 6pm and got a table after looking at the menu online the choices looked aplenty.

Dropped in Saturday night and had a meal, no booking. Food was very good. Menu was exellent and so was the prices. Beer was good and service superb. All in all, a good meal along with a good pint, Brilliant.

We actually set out to go to another pub for Sunday lunch, but couldn’t get in as it was too busy.

Had a fab lunch here today. Food Exellent and fresh cooked. Service was over and above. Oh and the price was good too. We ill be back for sure.

Very nice little cosy pub would advise booking because always busy great food the pate is one of my favourites around lovely staff

We went to try and have some lunch at a pub in another village but as we hadn't booked we couldn't get in. On our drive back towards home we said we'd look out for somewhere else. We chanced on this lovely little pub and decided to stop. We were greeted nicely when we arrived and told that they were still serving. The chap behind the bar was extremely pleasant and helpful. We ordered two Sunday lunches, one beef and the other lamb. Our son had a sausage baguette with a side order of home cooked chips. The food arrived in a timely manner. It was all hot, fresh ingredients and home cooked. The portions were a good size and everything was delicious. The pub itself is very comfortable, clean and homely. What a great find.....we will be back.

To counter some of the more downbeat reviews I would say that in the last few years we have been staying, eating and drinking at the Thornton Hunt, we have never had a bad experience The food is always excellent and well served, hot and tasty. Peter, Steph and the team are always pleasant and nothing is too much trouble. Yesterday as always the Sunday Lunch was excellent Beef perfectly cooked and vegs and potatoes delicious.

We called in on bank holiday monday...the place looked great as we went passed...so good infact that we turned round and decided to give it a try

I've had three or four visits to the Thornton Hunt for food, the most recent was last week. Nice, quiet pub with good beers and good pub food. Service was very quick and friendly and very little to fault. The chips felt a little greasy this time and not like homemade chips, but everything else was lovely. Happily go again. Reasonably priced, friendly and welcoming and good sized portions.

Stopped by for lunch today, our first visit which is surprising considering it's only 20 minutes away from us. The pub had really good reviews so thought it was worth checking out.

overall performance can only mark as excellent . the rooms were good surroundings in and outside the hotel /pub were spotless . Lovely greeting on arrival and departure nice to see the old fashioned courtesy still is out there in this day and age

Been for sunday lunch on a reco.endation the roast lamb was to die for and amazing desserts. Nice friendly atmosphere and attentive staff will return

Had a fun family Sunday lunch there with eight of us including two young ones. Love the pies and their desserts such as jam roly poly and bread and butter pudding.

Two of us called for a pint and dinner around 18.30. Selection of real ales was good and the beer excellent. I chose haddock and chips with vegetables of the day (cabbage and carrots) whilst my son ordered sirloin steak with pepper sauce. All was good with one very big exception\; the cooking of the fish. Both the batter and the fish inside were soggy with cooking fat/oil which gave the impression that it was a little bit 'past it'. I would not risk the haddock again. The prawn cocktail with apple and celery was surprisingly good, as were the cheesy potato skins. The bill for the food came to £40 which was about £6-£7 more than it was worth. Would we call again? Probably but never for the fish and chips (go anywhere in Grimsby and it would be better).

Another most enjoyable long weekend break at the Thornton Hunt Inn. We return here as the accommodation and meals are excellent.

I have stayed twice and ate here all the time plenty of choice and cooked well everything I had was spot on

Five of us came together at the Thornton Hunt for lunch today and, we were not dissapointed. From drinks from the bar to the service of our lunch, first class. The food was presented

The food is always of good quality here, they have only limited serving hours for food though, and the menu is always the same, which is not so good for locals.

Lovely friendly welcome from the staff. We booked a table on the recommendations of a work colleague. We were not disappointed and if like me you are trying to cut down on your portion sizes then you can have a lite bite which is just the same but on a smaller plate. Everything was cooked to perfection. We had a ginger and white chocolate cheesecake for dessert which was delicious.

My parents, my brother and his wife and my partner had a beautiful meal for my birthday. We all had starters, all different and they all came together and the same with the main course they accommodated our individual needs. Excellent traditional home cooked food.

Booked for an evening meal with my cousin, the owner and his staff are very friendly and the food was exceptional. The pub has a really pleasant "old world" atmosphere with lots of pictiures, exposed beams and it is all genuine!! Certainly worth a visit and we will be going back when next in the area

We booked a table for 11 people for my dads birthday, and pre ordered our meals a week in advance. The timing and personal service of our meal/evening was impeccable. Once we were all seated and all had drinks our starters arrived. All 11 starters arrived in quick succession and all exactly as ordered. All 11 starters resulted in clean plates. Then after an appropriate wait, and attention to offer more drinks, our main courses arrived. As with the starters, all meals were exactly as pre-ordered. Everybody in our party was happy with their meals and there were no issues at all. Some had gammon, others cottage pie (a favourite) and others the generous portion of haddock. Most of us had chips, which are homemade and cooked to perfection. The staff made an extra effort with the desserts which made for a really personal touch. We all really enjoyed the meal and evening and importantly my elderly parents really enjoyed the occasion. We look forward to our next visit - which hopefully will be very soon. Thank you.

Myself, my husband and our son decided to pop here for a meal last minute. Beautiful food cooked really well and a great choice for kids. We left feeling absolutely stuffed. Great play area outside too for our son. Warm, clean and friendly Would definitely recommend to others and we'll certainly be coming back.

From the moment we arrived, the unfriendly, unsociable waitress wanted us to be acutely aware that we were not there for the long haul, but due to having arranged to meet someone from overseas with no phone to call the rearrange, we had to stay. The first thing she told us was that lunch was only served until 1.30. This was at 12.50. She asked if we wanted to order, again reminding us that we didn't have long. We explained that we were meeting someone at 1pm so would wait. At two minutes past one she came over again and asked if we were ready to order. Again we explained we were waiting for one more person. When our friend did arrive, she was at the table before she'd had a chance to look at the menu asking what we'd like.The food was very underwhelming, with particular mention for the 'home made chips' which were floppy, wet, and had clearly been cooked in a deep fat fryer 80s style which had the same oil in they'd been using back then. They were a dirty brown colour with bit of other people's old chips on. As soon as we'd finished eating, the waitress cleared away our plates, stating that they close after food service so could we move along now. We had full drinks! While we finished our drinks, we kept seeing her looking around the corner to hustle us along. As we did depart, she came flying into the car park and jumped in her car, so clearly she had her own plans and everything was about that. Would never return or recommend.

La prima cosa che mi ha colpito è la location vicino ad una chiesa in pietra nel mezzo della campagna inglese . All'interno del locale con moquette a quadri soffitti in legno e caminetto ( non di fuoco vivo) é come essere tornati a vedere il film di un uomo tranquillo con John Wayne( anche se in Irlanda) due signori inglesi stavano pranzando ed io con le persone che mi hanno invitato abbiamo pranzato mangiando una caratteristica PIE cioè una zuppa con vegetali e carne ( ho scelto quella di pollo) ed in cima posato un soufflé ... Molto buona..

I went with a group of friends with varying food preferences. It has an excellent menu with a wide range of choices. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the staff helpful. The prices are what you would expect to pay in this area of the country. When we got our food each dish was excellent. We will be back

We have visited here, as one of our local eateries, a few times recently. The home made steak pie & chips is a current favourite as well as the mixed grill.

I have visited the hunt for years now and enjoy the food and real ale... Unfortunately it is having a really disappointing phase.... A normally busy dining area shows that customers are voting with their feet.

Went to THI for double celebration evening for a meal for six. Arrived without girl behind bar saying hello or anything and cold and miserable towards us. We were ushered into a corner crammed round a smallish table. The place was quiet (Tuesday) and service should have been excellent. Common courtesy was lacking especially from the woman behind the bar who barely spoke, never smiled and didn't even help as we struggled to find the exit. When drinks were ordered, she put them on the bar for us to collect but didn't say anything and we collected them after they had gone flat. Felt like we were spoiling their night by being there. Waitress was nervous, quiet and struggling, dropping things, reaching over and asking us to pass meals along and dropped a clanger ruining a surprise by declaring, 'you're all having the chocolate birthday cake aren't you?' Doh!

I have to explain my "very good" rating. If you want posh, don't go. If you want chic, don't go. But the Thornton Hunt is a very good English pub, despite my two very brief words with a very taciturn and gruff landlord, who, by the way, wisely keeps out of the bar and leaves the work to very capable and personable staff.

We have eaten here for many years as it is local to us. I can't remember ever having a bad meal but we usually go for gammon, steak, pies, omelette etc. On our last visit we went with family and, on the spur of the moment, I went for fried haddock in batter with home made chips and mushy peas. The pub does cover itself on the menu saying that the dish may contain bones.....but I can't remember the last time I found a bone in fish & chips and so I wasn't really expecting to find one. Unfortunately my first forkful was full of bones and that really put me off my meal. Another in our party had the salmon fish pie and also found bones in that. I will certainly be sticking with my dependable favourites next time when we visit again for the lemon meringue dessert, which must rank as one of the best in North Lincolnshire. I'd still highly recommend this place but choose wisely from the varied menu.

We booked a 1 night stay here for a wedding, so mainly chose the Thornton for convenience. We were able to check in early which was really appreciated. The rooms were very clean and had everything we needed. Small touches such as a bowl of sweets, Aero hot chocolate and a Rocky and breakaway biscuits instead of the usual boring packs were great! We had lunch, baguette and chips...both very nice. Staff were helpful and polite. Breakfast was additional to the price of the room and I did think it was quite pricey. Food was good though and being a veggie, they had veg sausages for breakfast which is always a bonus. Was pleasantly surprised by the Thornton, would recommend and would stay here again!☺

I needed a couple of days of "me" time and, to be honest, was looking at Robin Hood's Bay, but they were all full. This was available and I wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed two days of quiet relaxation. The atmosphere was great, as was the beer and the food! Once you accept it's in the middle of nowhere and as such, isn't open all day every day, then you're sorted. The menu was amazing and excellent value for money. Well impressed. If I were to be picky I'd say the hosts didn't engage with visitors on a personal level very much, preferring instead to make sure customer needs were met in the pub and restaurant, not that that's a bad thing. Maybe I just hoped for more interaction

Menu is extensive and includes favorites plus a few interesting options. All choices were very reasonably priced - in fact the lowest prices I've seen in years. Our choices were well cooked, tasty and decent size.

Decided to go out for an early dinner as hot day and really didn't want to start cooking, arrived back at the Thornton Hunt Inn, traditional pub with a good menu and specials as well. I had a couple of pints of the real ale (Landlord), which went down a treat and likewise my wife had a couple of halves of lager (Kronenberg) very good. We decided to just go for mains and we both had Gammon with all the trimings and we were unable to finish it all off and total cost of food and drink was a shade over £30. Well worth it and on our must visit again list.

this is a little jewel of a place, the staff are helpful and friendly and the food is very plentiful. If you're dining here, go hungry! The beers are good too with the popular Timothy Taylor on tap.

After the disappointment of the Black Bull at East Halton thankfully we has been to the Thornton Hunt before and we were treated to a very good meals with a great selection that catered for all palets we ordered starters and mains and all were very good, the staff were attentive, all in all a great venu to go.

Great food and nice beer with friendly staff in a traditional British pub, what's not to like? Next time I am in the area I will definitely stop off for lunch.

This is a regular local venue for us. Very extensive menu and excellent food with plenty of veggie options. The prices are reasonable too. I love the cheese omelette and I always save room for lemon meringue - it is so light, fluffy and yummy! Mixed grill, gammon, pies etc are all cooked to perfection and local ingredients are sourced. Local beer to boot. Cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

My husband booked a meal for us for Valentine's night but I would've enjoyed staying at home more. As someone else said the landlord is not welcoming, stands and glares at you whilst you're eating and the waitresses customer service leaves much to be desired. No sooner had we finished our meal then the waitress came across and took everything away whilst not even giving us time to digest our food. The drinks were pricey (£6.55 for a small glass of watered down coke and a bottle of cider) and the food was nothing to write home about as I came away with indigestion. To say it was Valentine's night no effort whatsoever had been made. No decorations, no flowers on the tables, nothing. A complementary glass of something would've been nice too considering the meal cost around £35. It was so bad it was almost funny. The best part was listening to "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" as the background music -on VALENTINE'S NIGHT!! Will not be going back and will certainly not be recommending the place to anyone!!!

Always worth a visit any time of the year for a good range of home made food. Steak and ale pie is always good as is the fish and home cut chips. Warm Chocolate Fudge cake is particularly good. We have been going to Thornton hunt for over ten years and the food is always of a consistent standard. We always ring and check availability rather than just turn up as the number of tables is limited and it is always popular.

We often visit the thornton hunt inn with living local in a nearby village and we find the staff to be friendly and the food is always top class. Home cooked food which is always of a high standard. Myself and my parter have worked our way through the menu over the past few years. The steak pie is to die for, really high quality meat and the gravy in the pie is so meaty, comes with chips and veg...the chops are lovely too. We can highly recommend the liver and bacon casserole, the curry, lasagne, local sausages and mash. The puddings are all very tasty too, the crumbles, cheesecake and sticky toffee sponge are all really yummy. Its nice to have a local food pub which is great value for money and always has people in eating which says a lot about the quality of the food. We always book as on the few occasions we haven't, we have arrived only to find no tables left to seat us...so i advise to book in

The inn only serves lunch til 2 pm on Saturdays. We arrived at 1.30 and was told we couldn't have food. The waitress was rude! The annoying thing was, there was only one party in the restaurant! No wonder, the atmosphere was dreadful.

A real country pub with good choice of menu-many homemade. Nice atmosphere,cosy,tradional in quiet hamlet.

I had the fish pie which was full of haddock salmon & prawns & very tasty. It came with a choice of chips or new potatoes which I wasn't expecting given the fish pie has mash, I didn't have any further potato. I had veg instead of salad which was fairly standard. Mum had the battered cod which she said was excellent quality fish, though she ate little of the batter. The chips were home made but nothing special. Fantastic value, however, for 2 mains & a bottle of wine £31.

Went here as a party of nine. Luckily we did book as a lot of people got turned away for not booking! Food was very good and service was excellent nothing was to much trouble for them. Will most certainly be returning in the near future.
