We’ve visited Provenance a few times in the summer and it is normally a treat. We popped in for lunch this week and it was really disappointing though. Firstly the restaurant was cold. I didn’t take off my coat and gloves the whole time we were there. For starter I had a pork croquette. It was a lump. The size and shape of a Gregg’s sausage roll and a really peculiar texture. I only ate half of it. For main course my husband had a lamb burger. It was left on the side for ages and almost cold. The amount of cumin in the mayo made it very peculiar. Our fries were also almost cold. My main course, pork loin, was underdone in places and over in others. It came with a gravy that wasn’t mentioned on the menu. I wouldn’t have ordered it had I known. Overall, we won’t be rushing back. Staff apologised and took the cost of the fries off our meal (£4). The experience still cost us £67. Very unimpressed.

Wanted a cosy Sunday pub roast on a rainy day and got exactly that . Lovely warm and instantly welcoming staff and country pub atmosphere. Noted a decent range of beers on the pumps and had a tasty local ale to go perfectly with the food . Had already looked up the menu before going and chose it having noted the veggie roast option which cites roasted root veggies ( I love roasted carrots - and feel often pub roasts lack this ! ) Food arrived in a pleasing way and can say the nut roast was full of texture , the cauliflower cheese was rich in flavour and the roasted parsnips were absolutely lovely - could’ve pigged on more ! My only minor drawback ( and this is being picky ) is for the roasted spuds - I love a really extra crispy crunch on the outside they were great but a personal taste for me would be to have that extra outer crunch :) Great value, really well presented very tasty - I’d go back and recommend to others :) … dived in too quickly to take any pictures but can verify that the pictures already shared on previous reviews are accurate , if I’d had room for a pud I’d have gone for one !

Solid old-school pub! Good selection of beers on tap and alcohol-free options too. Lose a star for not stocking scampi fries.

My friend and I were staying locally and found this pub, so glad we did. Fab welcome followed by attentive but not intrusive service and delicious food. Would definitely visit if I'm in the area again. A great find. Recommended 👌🏼
