Booked last minute for an evening meal on Sunday 19th January. Great welcome, super service and delicious food.

Absolutely amazing. Our daughter has a sesame and hazelnut allergy. On arrival we were given a menu that was highlighted in 2 different colours, showing which foods had or may contains these foods. Put our mind at rest straight away. The food was lovely as always and the service were great . Highly recommended.

Delicious food Excellent service from the staff who were all very polite and pleasant Didn't have to wait very long between courses Would highly recommend and look forward to going there again

Excellent as always. That's all I can say. Ok, I can say a bit more. It's a fab place for an informal or special gathering of friends or family. From cocktails to delicious Sicillian tapas, from service through an extremely local guest ale to ambiance, it has it all. Word has got round, as it gets very busy and you will have to book a table, but it is worth it. The menu is diverse, with enough for everyone, including gluten free and vegi. There will be a lot of things that will become your favourites, but make sure you try something new, or off the specials board, as you'll add them to your new favourites and that will be your biggest problem.

Amazingly quick service and beautiful food for a special treat.

Amazing good, wonderful service, good atmosphere. I can’t fault this restaurant, will definitely return soon. Thank you!

Great menu good quality of food, pleasant staff and comfortable surroundings always a pleasure to visit.

Great meal, with friendly atmosphere & staff x highly recommended x

The food was good as it had been in the past. As always the young waiting on staff were friendly and efficient. But unfortunately the restaurant was very cold despite them plugging on a small fan heater. This did spoil the evening. The people on the table near us sat with their coats on as my wife did. This you don't want to do when you are having a meal.

Excellent service as always and very friendly staff. All the food was delicious. We chose from the midweek menu and it was excellent value for money. It was fairly quiet so not much atmosphere but that was fine as it meant we could talk.

What a fantastic afternoon with my family celebrating my birthday. Firstly the staff were all lovely, friendly and informative. They made it special, excellent cocktails to begin with. The food was absolutely fabulous every single item ending with an delicious tiramisu for me.

Great choice of food on the menu. Food always piping hot and plenty of it. Wine always chilled to perfection. Excellent quality ingredients. Sunday roast is fabulous. Service and staff also excellent. Cannot fault anything about this lovely pub. Its a real treat.

Best Sunday lunch I have ever had.

Excellent food and service as always. Brilliant atmosphere.

We used to go to the Whitchaff regularly before covid but sadly all our routines changed after lockdown ended. However, we were driving past and decided to go in for old times sake. It was a delight it was warm and welcoming although physically it had changed beyond recognition. It had more a restaurant vibe than the old pub vibe. The menu was excellent something for everyone whatever size your appetites or pockets will allow. Our food was wonderful and everything we remembered and more. We will not leave it as long this time before we return. A very big thank you and well done on the excellent changes.

Lovely lunch yesterday. I had steak fajita on ciabatta and my friend had pulled pork wrap and we both thoroughly enjoyed them. No room for desserts but we had coffees. Unfortunately I’m of that age where I could have done with a decaf cappuccino but I was told they only did decaf plain coffee (I’m guessing she meant filter coffee? Americano? Instant? Not sure). Anyway I had a normal cappuccino & it was fine. Will definitely be back.

Lovely lunch, excellent friendly service.

Ordered the steak pie chips a mushy peas, the pis wa Luke warm and warmed in the microwave which made the pastry soggy, very disappointed. On a good note other family members meals were very nice.
