    A really warm welcome from the owner, followed by top service from staff who were more than efficient, and more importantly, engaging. And the food was pretty good too

    Good food and service but could do with a paint, not very pleasing to look at inside, beams looked great but tables and decor grim

    Very pleasant ambience, friendly and helpful staff, good selection of beers in the bar, good selection of food in the restaurant and the food we had was delicious, plenty of parking available, large pub garden. Can’t criticise anything so would definitely recommend The Olde Dog at Herongate.
