   A first, but certainly not last visit to the Pelican. Considerate service and excellent choices of dishes. The duck salad was really well done and the Mushroom Bourguignon pie with crushed potatoes was superb. Lots of parking, plenty of space and quiet areas of tables, ideal for couples and large groups.

   We had people with different food tolerance and had rung and discussed in advance. There was nervousness as although each person said what they couldn’t have it was repeated back by staff differently. Also one meal came with something that should not have been on the plate. Luckily this was not a person with an allergy. It was quickly rectified once challenged. We heard another table having similar conversations. The food was delicious though and the others had no issues.

   The chicken schnitzel was very overcooked and difficult to cut and eat. You paragraph Also, the crab ravioli is a very small portion of paragraph. We have been dining at the pelican for a number of years now, but if the food does not improve, we will have to change our venue.

    We met our friends after a dog walk as we do every few months. My wife & I both had the fish & chips, after which we all had a mini dessert & a drink which priced at £8.00. We all had this before, and we were looking forward to the crumble & custard as the crumble was served in a ramekin dish, to our amazement the crumble portion was TWO mouth fulls, I understand it was a mini dessert, but I didn't know it was going to be miniscule in size. As a result, in experience, next time we meet with our friends, we will be taking our custom elsewhere. Sorry, Pelican.

    Dear David, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the fish & chips and your overall experience with us. However, we're sorry to learn that the portion size of the mini dessert did not meet your expectations. Your comments are valuable, and we will certainly consider them for future improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your friends back again. Best regards, The Pelican Inn Team
