Our first visit to The Owl and we were very impressed. Two of our party are vegetarian and they were very happy with the options available. The food was delicious and of generous portions. The Staff are very friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be back. An added bonus is that this is a dog friendly pub and our pooch was made very welcome. Highly recommend.

We celebrated my daughter 9th birthday at Grumpy’s Diner today with a party of 11 people, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The staff were welcoming, accommodating, and made us feel really looked after from start to finish. The food was delicious, came out promptly, and there was something for everyone in our group. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, which made it perfect for a family birthday celebration. Thank you to the whole team at Grumpy’s we’ll definitely be back!

Enjoyed as usual , a fabulous dinner at The Dukes Head . We had fish and chips., sausage & mash and slow cooked rib of beef. All three meals were delicious. Drinks, we had a bottle of house red , and a Guinness . All went down very well. David especially, and the team/staff again always makes you feel very welcome indeed, in this lovely pub. Excellent.

We met here for a birthday, great service and hot delicious food. Managed a little desert too - all beautifully presented and we were never rushed so we had a good catch up!

We had lunch at the Barn yesterday and were beyond delighted with the food. I had the nourish bowl and my husband had the prawn sandwich. The presentation, flavour and freshness was wonderful. This is our new favourite spot for lunch. Highly recommend

Had a lovely lunch at Barn Plants. The food was fresh, well presented, and full of flavour, with generous portions. The setting is beautiful and relaxing, surrounded by plants, which makes it a really enjoyable place to spend time. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A perfect spot for a relaxed lunch — we’ll definitely be back.

Menu very limited and pretentious. Used to do lovely paninis but now I struggled to find anything ‘normal’ so ordered sausage roll. It came out so full of different herbs it was inedible. The two people I was with tried it and didn’t like it either. Service was great. Lovely staff. Coffee was delicious. Will go elsewhere for food though.

I came with friends to the Owl for my birthday (13th Jan) we had such a lovely time the food was excellent. The staff were lovely. We did go early in the week so it was quieter which we didn’t mind atmosphere was lovely still. I have eaten in the owl many times before and always enjoyed the food. Another bonus it’s dog friendly. We will be back.

This was my second visit. Not as good as the first time unfortunately. While the staff were very pleasant and helpful service was a little slow and we had to ask chase our drinks post meal. Vegetarian options were limited.

Lovely fresh food with a good choice of food. Staff very helpful and friendly. Only downside is the. Coffee,just tastes awful. Please change your brand as it's too bitter. This has been like this every time.
