Lovely place and restaurant, however the service was very poor took awhile for our order to be taken and waited a long time for our drinks to come too. Once we had finished the food, which wasn’t very nice as the vegetables were cold and hard and the meat was rather red ( which some people may prefer ) we asked for the desert menu which took awhile to get brought to the table. When it did the waiter was very rude saying we need to be quick as more tables are booked in. There was one female waiter in particular who just stood at the bar staring at our table every second chance she got. Would not be rushing back to go to this place…

Food was fantastic and great value. Very quick service and friendly.

Booked last minute for evening meal, we were warmly greeted, service with a smile, food really gods pub grub, would definitely recommend

Came here for Mother’s Day second time as came last year with the family and we had such a lovely meal. Food and service was amazing. The Sunday dinner did not disappoint again everything was perfect and the puddings too. The staff couldn’t do enough for you too very polite and welcoming. Lovely seating and spacious too. Thank you to all for making it a special one again for myself and my mom and the rest of the family.

*****

There isn't a very good smell (swerage) outside the pub i presume from all the rain but it was blowing into the pub when doors were opened so this was quite off putting. Maybe that can be looked at woth support of local council etc? Bar tender kept picking his teeth too and then picking up glasses from the rim something to be mindful as not very hygenic or pleasant to see. Random teenage boy stared at us while at the bar too seemed to be a friend of the young waiting staff but could easily appear intimidating to some. Was very dark in the room by the bar to eat too and tables quite close together can hear each others conversations I had a medium sized dog sitting in my foot in the end for the people sat next to us thankfully we love dogs but some may not like that but shows tables are a bit too close for comfort. Food was great however and the portion size was perfect. The waitresses were very attentive and fast working.

Food was delicious, service was superb and catered to children really well!

Absolutely fantastic! 10 stars!! Everything was brilliant. The service, the food and the personal attention from Ryan. 1st time visiting but certainly is now on our list as a regular place. Could not fault at all.

My review posted before i scored!

Had a fabulous meal at the water rat this weekend. Steak was especially good. Nice atmosphere in the pub aswell. Staff were lovely but they did seem to be run off their feet. Seems a little short staffed as we had to kept asking for refills of drinks and gave up on ordering coffee in the end. However could not fault the service or meal as it was great. Just need a few more members of staff. Would highly recommend to anybody and will visit again food perfect !

I honestly dont know where the bad reviews come from or how recent they are but they cant be recent! Some of the best food and service we have had in years and it is the same every time we come! The team are great and the food is wonderful. We will keep returning and we certainly suggest you to. THE BULL WILL NOT DISSAPOINT

Absolutely fantastic mothers day. My mum doesn’t get out often but today she did. We chose the bull as it had some good feedback from friends and we were not disappointed at all. The place was beautiful and the atmosphere was so cosy and sweet. Staff were on hand to greet us and make us welcome and we were promptly seen too. Both waiters were very cheerful and happy and they could not of done more for us. Food was superb. We hope to return.

The food was absolutely amazing, we had the king pawns, wild mushrooms tagliatelle and the sirloin steak.... I've not tasted such an amazing steak like this for a long time, the service was excellent, we would love to come again. Our only recommendation would be to have a chicken dish on the menu.

Staff were really friendly, great service and the food was delicious.

Lovely lunch at The Water Rat . Service was very good, friendly and welcoming. A good selection of main courses and sandwiches but would have liked a salad of some kind in the sandwich section. Staff attentive and took our orders for drinks and meals quickly and efficiently. Food was hot and presented well. We all enjoyed our meal. A lovely surprise when are bill was reduced due to the March lunch time offer. Value for money. We will be retuning soon.

We had a nice night at white heart but apart from the dessert, which was fantastic, it was good but not memorable. Our wine was sold out and we were given another bottle without any reference to it we just spotted the bottle was different.

After being there for almost 2 hours, We had to ask at the bar if we could order desserts. When they arrived, we had to ask again at the bar for cutlery. The risotto was bland but the roast beef was nice. The menus were different to what was advertised online so a bit disappointing and much more expensive, as you had to order at least 2 courses.

Meal cost more than advertised on website. When I questioned this I was advised there is a legal batter about their website. Service was slow which resulted in walking to the bar and placing order. We had to ask twice for our meal as we waited over an hour and was only having one course. Food was great though.
