   Over all atmosphere was lovely very welcoming. Food was good for price( although my wife asked for park and got turkey with crackling on her roast) Table service was very slow, we had finished our carvery before drinks arrived to the table. Very minor and am sure a one off, usually a fantastic pub for a Sunday roast. Will be sure to return and hope for the great service we have received previous to recent.

   Steak was over cooked and had no flavour. Mojito had no alcohol in it.

   We had the Sunday carvery, it was a lovely meal with a generous portion of meat, plenty of veg to choose from too. I had a small meal and was completely full up, so good value for money. The staff were lovely and very friendly, so a great experience all round.

Always a pleasure to visit the Countryman for a meal. Always a pleasure to visit with such lovely staff and good value for money and good food!

   The Countryman promised to be a good choice having read reviews and noted its popularity locally. Unfortunately a 7.30 pm booking didn't mean exactly that. We were told upon being seated they couldn't take our order until 7.45. It was past 8 before our order was taken and 8.30 before we were served. Food ok, average for pub grub. Waitress acknowledged and apologised for the delay and also gave complimentary beer as choice of beer sold out. Very friendly staff but clearly struggled with the bank holiday custom.

   Dear Mary, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet expectations, especially regarding the delay in service. It's great to know our staff were friendly and tried to make amends with a complimentary beer. We appreciate your understanding during the busy bank holiday and will work on improving our efficiency. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Best regards, The Countryman Inn
