Absolutely lovely meal, perfect service and great quality. We visited a few months ago before the new management and were a little reluctant to return as our previous visit had been disappointing due to the length of time we had to wait for our food to be served (although it was lovely when it arrived). If anyone has a similar past experience then I recommend you try again as we couldn't fault it this time and will definitely return. *I didn't score atmosphere very highly purely because we were the only diners in the restaurant at the time, this may be as we booked a little early due to having a child with us.

I’m already looking forward to visiting water rat inn again…superb lunch and extremely friendly and welcoming….they went out of their way to accommodate our late arrival….thank you all so much

5 star

The food was very nice (could have been slightly warmer). However there were 4 of us and we all had roast pork but different sized meals! My husband didn’t get any red cabbage- we did request some but it didn’t come. I had more meat than the others. Perhaps when plating up more consistently?

Food was excellent. Not much choice in wine. Coffee machine still broken. Service good.

Great atmosphere and a nice meal. We booked the room and meal deal and found it to be great value.

Lovely meal staff very friendly and helpfull.

Fantastic service, great food and an amazing atmosphere

Fantastic steaks, the best we've had, chips were perfect too. Lovely food

Excellent meal. Thoroughly recommend the pork belly. Great service as it was quite busy. One mistake on partners pudding but instantly manager took that off the bill. He didn't need to as partner ate what was given him . Only draw back is the menu being black writing on dark background. Quite hard to read.

A lovely lunch. Good, friendly service and tasty food. Thank you.

Even though I had a booking, confirmation and a reminder email the place was closed! I understand the fire closed the venue, how can you take bookings? Not impressed at all

Even though the food was enjoyable we were disappointed that our afternoon tea wasn't one like we've had before . Macaroni cheese , spare ribs chicken wings and small cobs . No scones instead it was chocolate brownie, chic chip cookie and half of a small chocolate pastry flan . My partner was very disappointed as this was his 1st experience having a afternoon tea .

The food was delicious and the staff were friendly, my only criticism was how slow the service was. Would definitely go back again

A lovely Sunday lunch as always

Lovely food- Sunday roast. Weather was amazing for October so we enjoyed sitting outside. Great service from staff- definitely recommend

The food was excellent- it was a very busy day so the service was a little slower than expected but to be expected- maybe need more staff!! Best veggie roast I’ve ever had out

First time at the Elephant Crossing and we'll definitely be back!! Amazing food and service.
