Early evening meal - lovely food really enjoyed it, service good staff friendly. However, the flat white coffee at the end could have been better but we would go back.

Lovely lunch with two very good friends as a thank you. Good food, service and atmosphere.

Delicious food, served by helpful, friendly staff. Lovely ambience.

We sat in the glass extension area; cross between inside and out which I thought was really good. Nice food and very friendly staff. Well done! Good time at a reasonable price.

Had Sunday lunch with 6 of my family for my fathers birthday. I chose this because I had had lunch there recently during the week and it was excellent with very fresh and tasty options. Sunday lunch wasn't quite as good, the pork was a little tough, the potatoes slightly underdone and very light on gravy (we did get a little more on request). But lovely stuffing and yorkshires. Really appreciated the gluten free options for my son, he had plenty of choice which was refreshing. Lovely atmosphere and the service was friendly if a little slow - a very big restaurant with lots of tables and staff were doing their best to get round.

Went for a birthday lunch with my dad; really enjoyed the food but was disappointed by the service and decor- such a shame because I do love The Owl. We arrived and were seated at our table, then didn’t hear from a waitress. Ourselves and another table went up to the bar to order our food. The food was fantastic & great portion sizes! The restaurant allow access to dogs, which is great however the seat covers need to be cleaned! The bench I sat on was full of trodden in mud & there was an awful smell. Such a shame as it’s got so much potential- refurb is needed!

Another amazing roast at The Barn. Brought my son and son in law who don’t normally like roasts and both ate everything and commented on how lovely it was! High praise to the chefs! The lady serving us called Lisa was extremely friendly and attentive. Highly recommend

Up for Radio 2 in the park Had a lovely meal we both enjoyed the atmosphere of the pub. Waitress was exceptional working the whole place with one of the owners helping.

Really enjoyed our breakfast and will be back soon.

Very good food and service excellent.

We loved the food there! Best vegan food we’ve had so far. It exceeded our expectations. The deserts were soooo yummy. We’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you x

Seated quickly, food was fantastic, staff very attentive, especially in terms of cleaning up. Defo recommended

Great, fresh food .

Came for Sunday roast and a lovely lunch. Definitely good value for money given the size of the portion, my only critique would be my plate had 2 whole solid carrots which was a lot to try eat - everyone else seemed to have 2 long halves. Very quick service too.

Had the pan fried salmon, delicious! Staff were welcoming and efficient.

First time I have eaten on a Sunday although have been many times before for weekday meals. Two of us had the Sunday roast beef brisket and it was first class. My partner had the skate and was disappointed that it didn't have vegetables with it although the fish was stuffed and had a sauce with it. We can't remember what our 4th guest had but it was something with prawns. Brilliant service as usual but not manic as it is in the week.

Beautiful lunch. Excellent service.

Had a lovely lunch last Thursday
