    We had lovely birthday party at the Walnut Tree, lovely welcome, great and attentive table service, lovely food, only issue was two meals were supposed to have skinny fries but they came with chunky triple cooked chips which were a little to heavy for the two lady diners, Overall very pleased with our experience

    The service was slow, the food was poor. No orange juice at the bar. Dishes had components missing. Would not go back.

    We arrived at exactly 5pm when our table was booked, we were sat down and then left as if we had been forgotten about - my other half went up to the bar to order drinks and asked someone to come and take our food order at 5:30 and they came over at 5:45. Our starter arrived at 6:15 and then our mains was not delivered until 7pm - we felt as if we had been forgotten about and we understand it was busy but no one came over to apologise for the delay or even explain that there would be a delay. The food when it did arrive was cold, and because of this I didn’t eat much of mine at all. I am very disappointed as I have been before and the service and food was amazing so to come back and receive this service and poor food was a disappointment.

    We went here yesterday m Father’s Day and they were extremely under staffed for the occasion and the kitchen couldn’t not keep up with the amount orders going into the kitchen. The waiting staff we very friendly and understanding to our frustrations. We waited over an hour for our starters to arrive, then the mains took an extra half hour for our mains to arrive which wouldn’t normally be a problem but giving the waiting time for the starters we were all pretty fed up by this point one of our children was to tired to eat. What was meant to be an afternoon meal turned out to be an evening meal and meaning we didn’t get home until late. Having said all of this the food was delicious when it did finally arrive. We will go back, but not on a day when it will be busy.

    Waited over an hour for food despite pre-booking. No warning on arrival that there was a problem with service. Food arrived one plate at a time and waited ages before cutlery arrived so we’re left with food in front of us but nothing to eat it with. Overhead another table complain about waiting 2 hours for food, so I guess we were lucky! When food did arrive, key elements of each dish were missing, ie no salad served with scampi and chips as advertised on menu, also no bread served with Greek Salad as advertised. The children’s penne pasta was so over cooked the pasta fell apart as soon as you tried to pick it up with a fork. We wouldn’t go back based on this experience.

    Booked here last minute. The food was amazing and the staff really friendly. I absolutely loved the style of the pub with the beautiful beams. When the bill came I was surprised how reasonable it was. I was expecting it to cost a lot more. Will be back!

    The food was quite good. But the area that made our experience a negative one was the staff and drink available. We asked the waiter which beers we're on offer and there were no ales and he didn't even seem to understand the concept of what ale is. He didn't understand that the fish and chips was in a BEER batter and remarked to my mother in law that it was cod not beer. We were only given one napkin and then the waiter was surprised when we asked for more. There was no ale on offer and a short stock of lager. It took a long time between courses to be given the menus again. Service needs serious improvement.

    Great service for a group of 5 of us. We all had a range of food from the Sunday menu and it was delicious!
