Excellent as ever

This is the second time for us at The White Crow for Christmas Day and once again it was beautiful. There were 6 of us dining and not one complaint. The food was very nice, prosecco on arrival very welcome and fabulous service from all the staff. Our son has Crohn's disease and only enjoys certain food's and does not like being over faced. The White Crow let him pick from the children's menu which was a big bonus & he also got a gift...so thankyou. We would definitely dine again for Christmas Lunch. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year x

Excellent food and atmosphere on New Year’s Eve really excellent food good portion sizes and excellent service

Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was lovely and the carbonara in the garlic pizza bowl was amazing. Will definitely be returning and will highly recommend.

1st time here. Lovely atmosphere, attentive, polite staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Loved the small menu choice. Will definitely book again.

Had the best time on New Year’s Eve in the karaoke room, it was a blast! The staff were all lovely and so helpful!

I’m really not sure why there are so many positive reviews, as the food is mediocre at best and seems to rely on cheap ingredients rather than fresh, good-quality ones. We tried various starters (olives, feta, mushrooms), and all were of poor quality. The mushrooms and feta were mixed with tinned tomato sauce, which gave everything a bad, artificial flavour. I had the Linguini di Pollo for my main, which was just about okay, but the chicken was quite dry. The dessert completed the disaster. It was two profiteroles that seemed to have been bought from a cheap discount shop. They were really poor and clearly not homemade, but a factory-made product. It is embarrassing for a supposedly respectable restaurant to serve something like that! As for the service, while the waiters were polite and pleasant, they weren’t very attentive, and it took quite a while for anyone to come to our table. To summarise this experience: you could get a better ‘Italian’ experience from almost any supermarket nearby.

Well what can I say new year eve what a fantastic night we had 18 af us went we all had a brilliant night staff was brilliant even tho we had kids with us awell they loved it it was so good in there be back soon lots of birthdays coming up see you all soon

Spent New year's eve here and had a fantastic night, service was excellent as was the food, I had zero complaints and would highly recommend this restaurant and it's staff

Absolutely gorgeous meal on New Years Eve. Staff are attentive polite and the service was great. We can’t wait to go back.

5 of us for food and drinks, a fantastic location with a great friendly atmosphere, the food was really nice and we all had different choices with generous portions...looking forward to my next visit...we were visiting on New yrs eve afternoon.

The Rising Moon is a pleasant, comfortable pub in a great location and the meals are generally very good, at reasonable prices and the staff are very friendly. Unfortunately, on this occasion, our main courses were spoiled because the chips were heavily pre-salted by the kitchen staff. Why do this? We never add salt to our meals, and if we wanted to there is a salt cellar on the table. We queried this with the waitress and she asked the kitchen staff. The answer was " it's what we do". Well, please don't. Otherwise our meals were excellent. On future visits, when placing our meal orders we will ask for the kitchen staff not to pre-salt our food.

This hidden gem was an absolute delight for my Christmas Dinner this year. There was only myself and my son so I thought it would be nice to go out for our Christmas Dinner only the 2nd time in 58 years but certainly won't be the last. The staff where very cheerful and dressed for the occasions, the Nutcracker and the Christmas tree won it for me, the service was very efficient and attentive, they were professional throughout, I chose the Creamed Mushrooms on Ciabatta with a small side salad that was delicious, my son had Garlic Bread because he didn't want any of the starters and the staff were happy to oblige. I had the typical Christmas dinner which was Turkey and all the trimmings again this was very nice, my son had Rump au poivre which he said "was good" which is praise indeed, and dessert was Christmas pudding for me and Chocolate Brownie warm with Vanilla Ice Cream, to finish was a cup of tea for him and coffee for me with mince pies for us both. The atmosphere was lovely, on arrival being shown to our table with the offer of a free Christmas drink I opted for the Mimosa but there were other options available, the table was set with a sprinkling of sweets/chocolates on the table and a box of Brandy Snaps to take home which I duly did and polished them off with Squirty Baileys cream from home. The landlady also took the time to come and say hello and welcome us to her pub. There was Christmas crackers of course this is standard but lovely, Christmas music playing quietly in the background but the noise of chatter and laughter for me made it a perfect day. The added bonus was no cooking and no washing up. I will definitely be booking for Christmas 2026. Happy New Year to everyone and you must try this gem out in the New Year

Absolutely fabulous place, loved the decor & the relaxed vibe , had a very friendly greeting who helped us with doors for pram, seated quickly, although had to wait a bit between ordering etc the main waitress/front of house lady was on it & kept us updated on timings, we weren’t in any rush & what was noticeable & very positive was how busy it was for a Monday lunchtime which was great to see, the food was just lovely & portion sizes were really good, can definitely recommend & will definitely return.

Very nice food we had and nice staff

Amazing !! Word of warning, the portions are massive !! Delicious food in a lovely environment, delightful servers

Lovely family experience with good food and friendly service
