The Tickled Trout

Food not great.

had the lamb it was falling off the bone excellant my wife had the pork that was just as tasty
the soup to start with was amazing

very enjoyable evening with very good service and the food was excellent. It usually is and I rarely go elsewhere for a meal out

Easy parking and access. A number of items were not available which was a bit irritating. Cold unless you were sitting next to the fire. What we had was fine. Friendly staff.

The food was generally quite good however the portion sizes were disappointing. I also had warm (rather than hot) soup which appeared to comprise only half a portion and amounted to no more than half a tablespoon (one inch) in depth in what was a narrow bowl and the bread portion was also insufficient (and was also not very nice bread). Everyone's main courses looked (and tasted) good (including my own rump steak) however again the portion size of chips / mashed potatoes for everyone who got them looked inadequate and between the steak and the bowl of chips left my plate looking half empty. In summary the food was generally very good however the portion sizes were disappointing and the soup / bread could also have been larger / hotter / better. My recommendation (below) of the restaurant is subject to the above issues being addressed. We haven't been to The Tickled Trout for many years due to a poor previous experience so this visit still hasn't convinced us that it is as good as the local competition - still room for improvement unfortunately. The staff, service and restaurant itself however were all good.

Had a good choice of menu, except that the Lamb item was no longer available --strange for a lunch-time menu. Otherwise food was excellent, and service prompt.

This is a local pub for us so no travel hassles.Parking is easy .
We were welcomed as soon as we entered and shown straight to our pre-booked table beside a roaring fire ( on a cold wet day ! ) this was a family get together, and all the food ordered was enjoyed.
No long waits,and efficient waiting staff........what more can we say ??
Pricing remains competitive ......decor is pleasant.....TABLES NOT TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.
Well done to all concerned.

Was good service and the veggie burger was very good also like the small deserts you could get with the tea or coffee

Decided to dine here for our 20th wedding anniversary as we usually have great food & service at Vintage Inns. Initial welcome was good however our waitress appeared to be indifferent towards us and we had to gain her attention to order drinks . When we started to order the meal it was only then she advised that one of the starters was out of stock. Starters and desserts were nice however sirloin was chewy and had lots of grissle. At the end of the meal we had to go to the bar to get the bill after waiting for staff to appear in the dining room. Will be a while before we return.

Great service and food
