The Old House Inn

The food was great but, although the staff were friendly and helpful when we saw them, the service was very slow due to there being a big party there at the same time. There should have been more staff working. Our lunch took three hours and had we not been with business guests from Taiwan, we would have left. At one point, we had to go and find staff to see if we were going to be offered desserts. We arrived at 12.30 and left at 3.35.
To be fair, service has been good on all my previous visits.

Excellent food., I was a bit cold. I would have liked to be seated before I had to choose my wine, as I didn't know what was available

Pleasant meal and environment - good sized portions

Excellent food and service

Lovely old place with crooked roof, low ceilings, and loads of nooks and crannies and interesting little rooms. Good food, and manageable portion sizes (though I expected them to be larger given the prices). Staff were helpful and really friendly - would absolutely recommend to anyone in the area

This is a lovely dining pub. Green surrounds and a big beer garden and tucked off to the side is a climbing frame.
We sat inside for a Sunday lunch. There were customers but the place was by no means busy.
We ordered starters of pork/black pudding Scotch Egg and Salt and pepper squid. Both were excellent.
We all ordered a Roast; Beef, Chicken and Pork. All were good with nice gravy and enormous Yorkshire pudfings.
Desserts were; Pannacotta with strawberry sorbet. Sticky toffee pudding, chocolate fondant with chocolate orange icecream and strawberry icecream cone, again all excellent and plates were clean.
The service is what let our experience down. Everything seemed to take so long. The bar was near to us but drinks took ages to arrive. The time between ordering and the first course getting to table was long (we thought about getting crisps from the bar!). It was all just so slow. The staff were nice and served to table well but something somewhere was going awry. Surely Sunday lunch is made ahead of time and is not cooked from scratch?
We had planned a leisurely meal but this really did stretch it.
I'd recommend the premises, the garden, the food and the pleasant staff but make a plea for a bit of bustle from the bar and kitchen.
Normally if there is a staff shortage you feel it and see the stress. We didn't get the impression there was not enough people.

The expirence was great,we have had very nice dinner.

I can't believe we live so close and yet have never been before!
Lovely garden at the rear with children's play area, much larger than I was expecting. We booked for 7.30 Thursday evening. 4 people in our group. We received a warm welcome and had a drink at the bar on arrival. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Every course was 10/10 and we all ordered different meals. Very impressed and cannot wait to go back. 1 person in our group ordered seabass as a main which was a little on the small side if you are just having a main but we had 3 courses.
I would definitely recommend to friends, top chef and staff. Good decor and a warm ambience.

Lovely old fashioned and quirky pub with a great beer garden and nice staff. The food was amazing

Very good and also good value for money worth the journey
