    We drive 40 minutes to the owl about once a month for what is normally a lovely Sunday roast but today was well below par just a load of slop swimming in gravy

    A nice find. We knew about this pub for some time already but were under the impression that they do not allow dogs in there. This is not the case and we happily enjoyed our evening with our dog Dougie, in the bar area. The staff were friendly and pleasant, the food was good, the service good also. Plenty of parking space and a very nice garden area. We shall definitely return as we live only 4 miles away.

    The food was hot but that’s about it. I had shepherds pie with buttered cabbage and bacon. I think k they forgot the bacon and the shepherds pie was made with pulled lamb which isn’t what I expected. Also had mini pudding and coffee and the pudding came out in a micro saucepan! It was meant to be a fruit crumble but got mainly crumble and the. The custard didn’t come so had to wait. Positives was the coffee was nice and staff ok. I did mention how disappointed I was but was just told sorry. Won’t be back or recommend.

    Really nice food. We had the chicken schnitzel and beef burger. Only thing that could have been better was the service - was a bit on the slow side considering how little tables were there at the time to be served. But will definitely be back!

    We shall not return to this pub because of the appalling service. We booked a table, arrived in time and ordered our meal and it was nearly 50 minutes before it was served. Don't go to this pub if you are elderly and in a couple because other tables will get served before you, as happened with us. We were just on the brink of leaving and cancelling our order.

    A lot of the food wasn’t cooked to what it should of been, slow service, needs more weekend staff, strange the pub wasn’t that busy either, out of the seven of us not one will be returning shame because it’s really a nice pub.
