3/11/24 Premium prices but not premium food. Sunday roast with beef that was so rare and fatty that it was impossible to cut never mind eat. Lack of other food hidden by a gigantic Yorkshire pudding. Offered a free desert because of the beef, no thanks, just wanted out of there.

Very friendly, helpful staff, we picked the sharing ploughman’s lunch, nice but could improve a little, pork pie wasn’t great, salad not great either, crusty bread needed not soft bread, piccalilli very watery, maybe not choose it again

We were disappointed today after going for lunch, we have been many times in the past and it’s always been very good, but on this occasion it fell well below par. The service was good a very pleasant waitress who was attentive. I ordered gammon and chips, and when it arrived it looked liked shop bought ham from a packet , I thought it was false advertising actually, if I’d have known it was sliced ham rather than gammon I would have never ordered it. My husband ordered fish and chips , and for the first time of eating out for many years had to query the portion of chips that was served, it was more of a small child’s portion. On a positive note the waitress agreed and took it back to the kitchen, she returned speedily with an extra portion and an apology which was great service. We have to say the fish was large and very lovely. We may leave it a while before returning to the Waddington arms, as there are so many outstanding eating places to visit.

Was in the area so picked WA from reviews it was Sunday Lunchtime. Food was OK my lamb was quite chewy and grisly also quite expensive. My main problem was the extras I asked for mint sauce which arrived in a small ramekin, no spoon suppled, then my side dish of cauliflower cheese arrived again no serving spoon to get it onto main plate, maybe I’m being picky but trying to pour gelatinous mint sauce onto your lunch evenly and using your fork to get one floret of cauliflower at a time spoils it, attention to detail is important not just putting dishes down and rushing away.

This was the worst restaurant meal I’ve had in years. Pub food at its worst. I invited my brother in law and his wife for lunch today and traveled an hour and a half as did they. We all had the Sunday roast which we were assured was local and tender. NOT TRUE !! It was as tough as old boots. The presentation was appalling. The meat was strategically placed over the overcooked veg and soaked in a glutinous mass described as gravy. The only saving grace was the Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese. The 20% discount offered was laughable and was offered via the waitress on behalf of the manager who disappeared following our complaint and never reappeared!! A huge disappointment and never to be repeated!!

Came here on the 2nd of Jan with my partner for a meal. We ordered the pie and fish and chips. When the meals came out, we were brought pie and sausage and mash. There was a mistake and the lady apologised for putting it through wrong. I asked if the fish hadn't been started could I please change my order. The lady said that wouldn't be a problem and would check with the kitchen and let me know. A different lady came back and said they are just about to start doing my fish and chips. I asked for a different meal and she said that it wouldn't be possible as it was already put through. I explained that the previous lady said she would check and come back to me. In the end though I did manage to get my order changed and I got a really nice beef roast dinner. My partner said his pie was very nice, although it was dry and expected gravy. We overheard someone on the table behind us complaining about there not being any gravy with his pie. He asked the lady server and she said that it would cost extra if he wanted gravy. He said he wouldn't want to pay extra as it should have come with gravy anyway. We thought the same. After we finished our meals, we really wanted to order dessert. We sat and waited for about 30 minutes but no one came to our table to take our plates or ask if we wanted dessert. In the end my partner had to approach the lady server and ask her if we could please order pudding. The mains and desserts were really nice. When we went upto the till to pay, we were expecting a small discount or a free drink because of the mistake earlier. We were waiting a long time for our food. We didn't get anything as a good will gesture as previous pubs have offered due to similar occurances. Overall, we did have a nice evening but we felt like there was lack of communication between staff and there could have been a higher level of customer service.

Beautiful village pub with friendly and helpful staff. We visited as a large group to celebrate a pre-wedding get-together. Food was pre-ordered and was absolutely delicious and well presented. Small car park to the rear but parking available on the road. Easy access to wheelchair users in the pub. The only thing I would have changed was that the tables given were not as booked for the group and 2 of our guests, in the party, had to sit on a table on their own. We moved this so that they felt part of the group. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and would definitely return. It was a great evening out.

We had a large booking here the night before our wedding in July and the staff were great at putting separate food bookings in one area (so it felt like a party!) and at managing all the separate bills! The waiter was really friendly and didn’t at all seem phased by the chaos. A lot of the party stayed over two nights and commented how nice the rooms were and the breakfast too

Visit here about 4 times per annum and have usually been satisfied with the offerings although food and beer prices are higher every visit,this is not unique.They are now at the top end of what i am prepared to pay. My favourite is the Lancashire hot pot and previously this came with pickled red cabbage and a chunk of bread.It now comes with some sloppy white cabbage. Why? is there a world wide shortage of red cabbage

I revisited the Waddington arms in July 2024 and very much enjoyed our lunch. We were very thoughtfully looked after as 2 wet and weary bikers. The fish and chips were top notch! 2 years ago… Great welcome and service at this cosy country pub. Food was good quality but ‘lamb chop and shoulder’ portion was a bit mean for the price.

The change in menu is poor and reflected in the produce. Smaller portions with lifeless salads accompanied a very poor sandwich, the bread was very thin & nowhere near as good as the ciabattas from the previous menu. Large ploughman's was also mediocre for the price.

I used to go when Andrew was the manager. The pub had a different atmosphere then. Andrew gave it his charisma. Now, the atmosphere is pretty standard, dull, and less attractive—no disrespect for the current staff, who are possibly doing their best. Andrew’s departure has been a painful loss from the customer's perspective.

This is a lovely country pub, the rooms were of an excellent standard, spacious bathroom, great service and nice breakfast. My only negative comment isn't the fault of the pub but unfortunately it does have an impact on the experience is the clock tower. Maybe I had the worst room, facing out onto the square, but the result was I hardly slept. If you are a light sleeper, mention it to them when you book if there's a quieter room

Fabulous food. Beautiful surroundings. Went back 2 weeks later, popping in for a coffee. We stayed 23minutes after being placed and then moved by the staff from 3 tables, we were offered standing room at the bar. If I could change my review to “one star” I would. An appalling absence of consistency of good service. Three other existing customers left with us due to the shambolic table reservations system and chaotic staff. Don’t visit on a Sunday afternoon, i suppose!

We popped in for Sunday lunch - we were just passing and googled to see if it was dog friendly (it is). The staff are super helpful and friendly. We ordered soup of the day (roast tomato) and a beef roast dinner. I have to admit I was just expecting "same old". This was not the case. The soup was delicious. The roast dinner was next level. Rather than a bog standard meat and two veg there was an amazing medley of veg, the sliced beef was at least 1cm thick and the Yorkshires were home made. Huge portions too. Not cheap £62 but you get what you pay for. I couldn't recommend it enough.

For mains they both had the brisket which they said was as good as the starter, I had pie (encased in device puff pastry), absolutely delish. 2 bottles of flying zebra, 2 pints of lemonaid & a pint & a half of cider, the bill came to £162 altogether which wasn't bad.

We only went for Sunday lunch. The food quality is excellent however what is letting the place down is very slow service and desert portion. We was a group of 7 people and arrive at 1.30 and left after 3.30pm. We only had 2 courses and took 2 hours. From the start service was slow from taking drinks order to bring to our table etc was too slow. Even when we want sauces etc that took 10 minutes to come. Desert portion are too small for the value especially if you want ice cream with your desert. We had 4 different desert which came with ice cream. Ice cream size of a teaspoon. I had cheesecake which size is right size however ice cream which go with the ice cream ran out when I was halfway through my desert. Hotel was not really full and were spare capacity at the time we visited.

Popped in for lunch after a walk pretty much knowing what we wanted having checked it out online prior to going. We both went for the steak ciabatta with peppercorn sauce. Came with a tiny bit of salad and a few crisps (no fries/chips) . We bought extra chips to share. Not much steak and a lot of it was fatty with gristle , siphoned that off for the dog. Sauce nice but not the price! For what we got it was a massive rip off, especially comparing the exact same dish we have had at many establishments that would not really be considered high end gastro pubs like this one. Now of course this was one dish, we could have gone on an evening and given it 5 stars but you can only go on the last visit. The other annoying thing was the person behind the bar said you have only 10 minutes then we stop doing food. We had been stood at the bar for almost 10 minutes before anyone spoke to us and it’s pretty easy to order in ten minutes anyway. The distinct impression was they wanted to wrap up the food service just before we entered. A nice place interior wise ,no doubt about, that but for what we had with 2 pints of lime and soda, the total cost of £37 was an absolute joke.

We have been coming here for over 6 years and have always enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly staff. The food has always been pretty good but more recently the “The Specials Board” has hit a new level of excellence. I had the slow roast lamb which was absolutely delicious, tender and still very juicy. I will definitely order it if it is ever on again. Andrew, Russell and the team did a great job. I was a bit worried that with almost every table full and with people taking advantage of the Sun both in the garden & out the front, we would be waiting a long time trying to entertain a 4 year old. The service however was fabulous and as requested the child’s food came with the starters so she was happy. I would recommend to always try something from the special’s menu, I’ve never had a bad one.

We visited the Waddy Arms impromptu for something to eat & drink. We went to the bar and wasn’t welcomed but just asked what we want. We ordered some drinks and then food. We had some chippolatas and mustard Mayo dip and some duck spring rolls. All bang average. When our starters arrived the young waitress came over and said “are these yours?” Followed by “where do you want them” Quite aggressively which we found quite jarring and & left us in quite a bad mood. Absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever and you could hear a pin drop. Our main courses took a further 45 minutes and again were average. Just dropped at our table with awful service. We will not be returning here again.

Lovely pub in a small village. Shared ploughman's lunch was good quality, plenty to feed two. Pub garden is good with seating covered so you can still eat outside, bonus for smokers. The staff was all very friendly and couldn't do enough to make our visit one to remember.

Always amazing food, friendly staff and a lovely setting. Our dog especially enjoys visiting as Andrew spoils her with treats. Highly recommend.

Had the absolute PLEASURE of being served by Katie here. She was so lovely and helpful when I wasn’t sure what to get, the absolute sweetest girl. The food was also great and I will be returning :)

Lovely, friendly and attentive staff at The Black Bull. Such a gorgeous setting and really tastefully decorated. The food and drink did not disappoint, just a shame we didn’t have more time to spend soaking up the ambience. Despite being quite a distance to us we would certainly like to return, well worth the journey.

Lovely place with stunning views and hosted by Jonathan and Fran who are the most welcoming people. Bed and breakfast for one night only but we felt like we were visiting close family. We would highly recommend a stay here.

An excellent full English breakfast prepared with quality ingredients and prepared to perfection. A very friendly and professional staff team. The farm shop is a delight with an excellent range of products. The butchery and bakery departments are outstanding.
