A truly wonderful meal and all around experience. Excellent value and attentive staff. A real gem and hope that it will remain a local secret. Will never hesitate to return or to take any of our visitors. The seafood platter is equal to any enjoyed globally. As for the fish & chips - to die for

Popped in mid walk (also would recommend the walks in the area). Gorgeous sandwiches with amazing chips. Would highly recommend. Small but perfectly formed outside area which welcomed our dog. Will be back.

Relaxed, tasty, friendly. Really lovely evening at the Willow and Brook. Had a few drinks and a small main course and delicious dessert. Quite a few tables in tonight and everyone was chatty and clearly enjoying the atmosphere and food. Love the waiting staff; so amiable, helpful and efficient. Our adjacent table had a red cherry and apple which they said was excellent! A well earned short break by the main chef and front of house host hasn’t impacted our experience. Thank all for another lovely, chilled, tasty evening.

We came for drinks and desserts and were pleasantly delighted by the chef’s work. The meals around us also looked awesome so can’t wait to come again. I believe our waiters were called Sophie and Nick and they were just brilliant. They work as an amazing team providing outstanding customer service. Couldn’t of asked for a more lovely chilled out evening - exactly what the doctor ordered! Will be suggesting this pub to many friends for excellent food and warm friendly service.

We booked well in advance for a meal to celebrate my wife's 80th Birthday. We arrived a few minutes early - there were only four others at lunch. The first course - took over twenty mutes to arrive from ordering - we were served with mussels which had not opened during cooking. Portions of pate were small; bread with the soup was not fresh. The second course took another 20 minutes and then arrived in two trips about five minutes apart. The squash steak was just two rings, and almost raw. Another vegetable dish was nothing like it's description. The squash was returned to the kitchen and reappeared as a slice, burnt at the edges and raw in the middle. Nearly all the vegetables served were either very tired, or almost raw and in very small portions. Two promising-looking rump steaks were very tough - one was covered in salt and inedible and was sent back; Chips were soggy and limp - and on and on. In decades of eating out I cannot remember such a slow and disappointing trip to a reputedly good restaurant. Thre was no sign of the 'Proper chef' referred to in a previous review. We were told that resources were stretched by catering for a separate, large, party which arrived about 70 minutes after us. We thought that it must have been a surprise, judging by the kitchen's inability to cope succesfully but no - they had also booked well in advance. Really, these was no justificaion for such a dreadful experience,

We had a family dinner for six to celebrate my son's 40th birthday and we all had a great meal and drinks -the three ladies in the group all loved their strawberry daiquiris! This was our first visit but definitely won't be our last. It's not very often that you try a new pub and get blown away with the quality (and presentation) of the food and the wonderful and friendly service. We didn't meet the great chef, Jim, but Suzanne and her 'crew' did a wonderful job with the service.

Dinner with friends, the welcome and service was warm and friendly and of a high standard, the menu whilst limited I believe would satisfy all tastes, the mussels as a starter were both fresh and light and the venison for main course was cooked to...

This was my first visit and I was enchanted by the welcoming atmosphere of The Willow and Brook. The menu proved a challenge because I found great difficulty making up my mind! In the end, a decision was made and I enjoyed a delicious meal...

We were led to believe this was above average - ho hum... Service, whilst friendly, was slow. Finding a wine list took some 20 minutes. After another reuest when it arrived it was crumpled and stained. As it was warm night we decided to eat outside - tables could have done with a good wipe, and the floor had obviously not seen a sweep for some time - cigarette ends all over the place. Menu was nothing more than average selection of pub food, and from arrival to food arriving took one hour. On the plus sign - food was hot, and acceptable, portion size - substantial. (No need for a starter.)

We stayed here on two occasions, in our campervan to the rear of inn. Quiet and good location. We enjoyed a nights sleep during both our stays. The staff at the inn are fabulous, welcoming and friendly and the owners are really doing a great job. The food was delicious and the ambiance of the inn was just what you’d hope for, log fire burning in the hearth, dog friendly and lots of positive chatter. I’d recommend this as a stopover and eatery.

Went to Mrs B s on Saturday. Cappachino was brilliant. Plenty of Tea. Hot scones as well. Staff lovely. Waitress service which makes a change. Great value for money.

Me and my husband arrived at the restaurant with our 6 month old for my sisters 18th birthday meal, we have been here on numerous occasions and have always enjoyed our time here, however this time was different. My mother had booked a table for 6 people and a baby , which was accepted over the phone, when we turned up we were greeted very rudely by a staff member , who pointed out children are not to be in the restaurant past 6 o clock, the lady then stated that this information is ‘plastered’ over the website, however when looking on the website there was nothing stating this, or certainly not ‘plastered’ all over it. I do understand rules are rules and I respect that, however the tone in which this information was delivered was very rude, it was almost as if we had brought in a disease, I really feel these rules need to be made more clear. Following this myself and my family left. We then headed over the road to the Duke of wellington where we were accommodated excellently by polite friendly staff , they even moved chairs around for us. We had a lovely meal , the food was so tasty, cheese board was great, worth every penny. We will not be returning to the love of wine, however the Duke of wellington we definitely will be.
