Quite simply the best Ploughman's Lunch I have ever had. And I've had a lot. Warmed Ciabata, huge chunk of cheddar, a pile of thick freshly carved ham, half a pork pie - with Remoulade, Piccalilli, Chutney, Pickled onions, dressed watercress and Apple, Grapes, Tomatoes. I don't think this could have been any better. Fabulous

Visited on a Saturday evening whilst away for the weekend. Friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. Good pub grub. Partner had ham, eggs and chips and I had lasagne. Best lasagne I had in ages, topped with a good helping of stringy cheese. Followed by twix sundaes. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Really disappointing! My family and I took my 87 year old mum here for a Mother’s Day treat!!!! When shown to our table we were told someone would come back to take our drinks order. However after waiting for 25 minutes and feeling rather thirsty my daughter decided to go to the bar to order. We then waited for ages to order food but eventually I actually had to ask a waiter to take our order (by this time we were hungry and tired of waiting). An hour later our food arrived but quite honestly I wish they hadn’t bothered!! Cold cabbage, tough meat, soggy Yorkshire puddings, raw broccoli…….. We won’t be returning!

Since this venue opened 10 years ago we have traveled the 45 miles from our home at least twice a year. Last Friday evening was the first time we had been back since the major alterations to the layout, splitting the dining area into two quite distinct restaurants. The Roth Bar & Grill has been relocated to a barn area with the bar stuck in the middle thus dividing the area in two. The whole room was dark with uninspiring drab furniture and totally soul-less. Before the "transformation" booking a table at weekends was a must, now, we were the only ones dining there for most of the evening which speaks volumes. I should point out that our food was good although rather expensive for what it was and the staff, who outnumbered us 2:1, were very pleasant. The whole thing is a total disaster and unfortunately it doesn't stop there. The area previously occupied by the Roth Bar & Grill is now an Italian / English restaurant. Gone is the open kitchen and grill area, gone is the lovely quirky bar that you walked through to the seating area and in it's place is a much larger dining area, tables with white table cloths in place of the more rustic furniture, and an absence of character. I noted that only about half the tables were taken. Separating the two restaurants is the old entrance lobby, now just a large empty space save for the books lining the walls. Previously this contained the reception area and book shop and a meat curing room, glass walled and lined on three sides by large salt bricks with whole sides of beef hung, now it is just a wide empty corridor giving access to the two restaurants, the gardens and toilets. Both my wife and I have had a life time in internal and external design, I do not ever recall seeing something of such character totally destroyed by someone with little or no talent. Frankly, it makes me very angry. Yes, it could have been altered to allow for more seating but not like this.

Cracking homely, local pub which is great for a few drinks and/or meal. Warm and friendly staff, nice, relaxed atmosphere. Serves good, homemade, tasty traditional pub grub with wide selection available and all reasonably priced. It’s nothing fancy but doesn’t try to be and that’s why we love it. It’s popular and often gets busy, even on some weeknights, so worth booking if you are going with a group or have in mind a particular time to go.

This place is always empty and always get turned away even when the restaurant is empty! When you do get a table the service is excruciatingly slow, with overpriced terrible food. The waiting staff always get the order wrong and are very unapologetic. Bad food, poor beer, overpriced and poor service

I've never had a bad meal here, the food is excellent. As for the desserts, they most certainly do not disappoint, the chef is a miracle worker.

If you are visiting the cemetary or crematorium this is the ideal stop-off for a snack. Its nearby and offers a tasty selection of food to eat quickly. there is a large car park alongside

I was hoping to grab a light bite or a sandwich but sadly we were unable to get any food as they were only serving meals that were priced more than £20. I visited the garden centre with my elderly relatives and had to take them elsewhere. This put a bit of a dampener on what was otherwise a lovely visit.

First time in this pub for a few years. Always a good cheap meal to be had and nothing has changed. Pleasant and clean pub and we three enjoyed the fish and chips. Pleasant staff and good tasting food. Well presented and the puddings were tasty, perhaps a bit pricey though. However an interesting experience and one we would perhaps repeat at a later date.

We went for a ten person family Easter - including a birthday - lunch. The service was very friendly and welcoming. The drinks were good. The food (ordered in advance) was generous in size, hot and tasty, and very good value. We were able to bring our own birthday cake, which the management team sang to our table. Thank you for an excellent time.

Lured by a FB ad of a 'new menu' we tried lunch here. The restaurant didn't look prepared; posters on some tables, no welcoming atmosphere. We went through to the bar where there were menus. It was a chilly damp day but no fire, the fireplace looked unused; the decor was dark & 'querky'. We chose a pork casserole & Thai curry. After ordering we were told that there would be a wait as he was busy with another order (though the place seemed deserted) & the food arrived in half an hour. The curry was meaty but sitting on a base of glutinous rice, not at all like the illustration on the FB page where the rice was in a separate bowl served with green beens; there were no beans at all. The casserole was a bowl of thick soup with no discernable potato (as stated in menu) but the taste was OK. So, very disappointing food, in a dreary room. We felt sorry for the bar person who was trying hard. Won't be back.
