Excellent food. Great service. Definitely going back.

Superb service from start to finish, fabulous food, great atmosphere; delighted to see such a vibrant atmosphere. Even too full for pud but worth it!

Had a meal Sunday night & as usual we weren't disappointed. The food & service was second to none with plenty of choice. Our waiter was very polite & the surroundings were great. Busy pub & everyone seemed to be enjoying the experience. We regularly visit & will return.

The food at this Restaurant was amazing, very hot and very tasty Steak was one of the best I have had Service was great Great atmosphere will definitely eat here again in the ear future

Visit 4 July and had a lovely meal. The pavlova dessert delicious! Have been several times before and the food is consistently very good.

Excellent service , had a perfect meal, table of 6 and everyone enjoyed. This was our 2nd visit and would return. The pub has a lovely atmosphere...

Excellent night - good, varied menu selection, attentive staff but not pushy, all variation requests adhered to, and quick service. Friends from Essex and thought the prices reasonable and loved their choices

4th time here. I've brought both family and friends. Thoroughly enjoyed the delicious homemade meals. I had fish, chips and mushy peas. The fish was so fresh it just flaked away. 100% would recommend The Whitchaff. The staff were so friendly and attentive. Thank you so much. Xx

Fantastic as always

A wonderful Sunday Roast and the service was excellent.

Great choice of food, great service, great food. Friendly staff.

Another enjoyable meal with the same high standard and choice of food as we’d experienced before.Lovely attentive staff and pleasant relaxed atmosphere making conversation easy

We took the last booking of the evening, arrived in plenty of time but felt rushed by them from the start. Their main interest seemed to be for us to eat and leave quickly. The meal was mediocre. Frozen chips. The surroundings seemed lovely, for the short time we were there. We paid our bill and the waiter had the cheek to ask if we wanted our change or not!

Went for lunch, table ready when we arrived. Surprising wide menu choice and great value fir money. Had the chilli chicken sizzler which was delicious, wanted to try the dessert menu but didn't have any room for it, sadly as the desserts sounded yummy. The staff were friendly and attentive but not intrusive. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Great atmosphere, superb food and quality and a good selection of drink. Our favourite date night spot.

Brilliant Evening, food outstanding and staff fantastic as ever.....cant wait to visit again.

We visited the Whitchaff with friends 15.06.24. We had eaten here several times and had recommended it to the friends we were with. When we arrived I confirmed the booking with the pleasant young woman behind the bar. There was a lady at our side of the bar who said ''that's your table'' and pointed to a small table behind her. I turned to my friend and asked her ''Is that okay for you?'' The lady who had spoken then said ''it's the only one I've got'' in a very sharp manner. My friend was clearly surprised by this persons attitude & I was embarrassed by her rudeness. There was another, bigger table for 4 available, but we sat at the one she told us to. My husband ordered a pint of beer. When it arrived it was extremely cloudy. When he asked for it to be changed the same person shouted over the bar ''there's nothing wrong with it - I've been pulling off it all day'' My husband - who previously owned his own micro brewery suggested that maybe the barrel was possibly empty, she stated there's nothing wrong with it, it will settle''. He was given another pint of a different beer & then we watched her pull 2 or 3 pints - all of which were cloudy & then go and change the barrel. I struggle to understand why a member of staff would argue across the room . I asked another member of staff who this person was and was told that her name was Sarah and that she was the bar manager. (just to make sure we have the right person she had fair hair in a short ponytail. ) Needless to say this really spoiled our evening, my friends were extremely disappointed & myself and my husband were thoroughly embarrassed for recommending the Whitchaff. Our bill for the evening was £144.30 not a inconsiderate amount I feel. The food was generally good as was the service from other members of staff. However we will certainly not be visiting again or recommending it to others. I would suggest some customer service training!
