The Wild Boar Grill & Smokehouse

The Wild Boar delivers every time! Fantastic food and fantastic service. The afternoon tea is to die for!

Brilliant afternoon tea with a twist. The restaurant is fab... and the toilets!

Excellent meat quality and a nice choice of wines at realistic prices. We went for the smoked meat sample platter as a shared starter and different steaks as mains - all very good, tasty and cooked according to our wishes. Looking forward to another visit to sample the brews.

Fantastic food, fantastic service. The overall environment and setting is perfect. Would definitely recommend

Smokehouse specials & in house craft ale would be the main reason to visit. Pleasant dining room, efficient & friendly service

Great food. We were made very welcome by all the staff. Very comfortable place to eat and while away a very enjoyable couple of hours. Thanks you all.

Lovely food & great service, with a nice warm atmosphere :)

Excellent service, one of the best meals we've had for ages, great location

Overall we were disappointed
We booked the wild boar because of its rating and as we were staying at there sister property the waterhead.
Firstly they do deny have a record of our booking dispose me having a confirmation
Once seated we resolved pur starters "homemade pork scratching a " and home smoked salmon "
Only half the pork scratchings were edible the rest were chewy and not crisp the salmon was ok but garnished with rock hard croutons
Main course we both chose fillet steak mine with spinach my partners with mash potato
The mash was bland cold and served in a small frying pan
My spinach had a pool of water in the bottom of the dish
I sent back the spinach via the head waiter
The steak and sauce were nicely cooked although nothing was seasoned at all including the steak
The second batch of spinach was if anything worse
As well as water it was mainly stalk and gritty I left it all and pointed it out once agin to our waiter
We were offered on the house coffees but we wanted to pay and leave
This was a special occasion for us and we had looked forward to it for weeks
A real shame that poor cooking spoilt out night

We've been here several times now and it's our favourite restaurant. Staff are attentive, polite and friendly. The menu is varied and interesting and food is always cooked just right. However we nearly always have steak as it's something you can't rely on in most places, but here it's always been perfect. Beautifully tender and succulent meat, cooked exactly as ordered. And on the rare occasion we can manage a dessert, the sticky toffee pudding is to die for!
