Excellent food and Excellent service. My guests really enjoyed the food as well

Fantastic menu, Lovely meal, great staff & a beautiful surroundings

We do go to The Whitchaff a lot but the latest visit was not up to scratch When we arrived on time booked, ta table wasn’t ready-no apologies. We were asked to sit at the bar, having a baby with us, this wasn’t the most comfortable of situations We finally got to our table 30 minutes late. When we sat down, we had to wait a further 10 minutes for someone to take our order. We weren’t asked if we had any allergies? The food once served was fine but we were not asked if it was ok No apologies when we paid our bill. We left with a bitter taste for once,

Seems to have gone downhill, this WAS one of our regulars. The service was awful despite the pub being half empty, starters were fine, but mains include fish pie that was just mush with hardly any fish fajitas with dripping greasy peppers and a cheese and onion pie that had gone flat in the microwave. No meal check or would have complained, everything seemed like too much trouble for the waiting staff!

Attended on Thursday evening for a meal with friends. The food was absolutely delicious and there were lots of choices. We will definitely be coming back again.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Would definitely would come back.

Absolutely brilliant Value for money Really enjoy

We began with the garlic bread, which arrived perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of buttery garlic flavor. The seafood spaghetti was a standout — generously portioned and packed with fresh, tender seafood in a light, savory sauce. The carbonara was rich and creamy, with pancetta that added just the right hint of smokiness without overwhelming the dish. Desserts did not disappoint. The cheesecake was silky and balanced, with a subtle tang that kept it from being overly sweet. The profiteroles were light, airy, and generously filled — a perfect end to the meal. Service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and well-paced, adding to the overall warmth of the experience. The ambiance was relaxed yet elegant, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. Highly recommended, and definitely a place I’d return to.

Great food, excellent friendly service and good value in a well presented and clean pub. Would visit again

Been to the Whitchaff a few times now and never been disappointed. The food is excellent with good portions and very tasty. Food always arrives quickly and hot. Staff are very attentive and friendly.

Recently spent a perfectly chilled Sunday afternoon here. Can't fault it food,service and value for money all great. Would certainly recommend and will be back soon.

Friendly staff generous platters and good choice of food including vegetarian options.

I went for a meal with my boyfriend and our friend, the service was quick, the food was delicious and the portions sizes were great! The value for money was good too as the portion sizes were big - the staff were very accommodating and lovely - will definitely be coming back again. I would 100% recommend the cheese and onion pie! :)

Brilliant pub grub and the BEST cheese and onion pie on Earth! I love this place and the staff are all brilliant. They get everything just right.

Had a lovely family meal at the weekend not one person had anything bad to say all food really good, good sized portions all say will be back again.

Excellent choices on the menu; excellent and thoughtful service

Our meal was excellent and we enjoyed the attention of your friendly staff. We will certainly come again. Please note that Pepsi and Pepsi Max are NOT appropriate substitutes for Coke and Diet Coke - the tastes are different. Why not offer both to satisfy your customers?

Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent as usual. Our favourite place to eat or just have a drink.
