Terrible experience, most the food was lukewarm. Some chicken bits were cold when bitten into, we asked for them to be taken away and they were returned to us having been reheated as the bite mark was still there! I did email in regards to this but no response. I wouldn’t go back and I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Great food and really lovely staff especially Suree . Love going there

First visit as a afternoon tea tap house style Absolutely beautiful food great atmosphere. Great service

Always brilliant and welcoming. But being open in a blizzard and serving the usual superb food?! Way beyond the call of duty. Thank you.

Excellent evening and amazing steaks. Cooked very well and exactly how requested them. The bone marrow sauce is a must. Staff attentive, friendly and we will definitely return.

We went for the soft launch evening and had a wonderful time. Staff were very attentive and keen to hear feedback, food was delicious. Will definitely return and would recommend..

Very nice meal and very good value. The staff were lovely and friendly. We will definitely go again .

Lovely American afternoon tea. Relaxed atmosphere, good music, spacious seating, food was delicious.

This was our first meal at The Water Rat whilst visiting the area and it won’t be our last. Very friendly staff and a delicious meal at a great price.

Visited on Xmas Eve. Good welcome and staff were friendly, amiable and professional in waiting on us. Food was excellent - the best scallop starters in terms of size and tasted in a long while. Good advice given re choosing an individual steak or a sharing one. Chose the latter on best value for money and weight. Ordered medium rare - perfection. We shall return.

Amazing Sunday dinner as always In a beautiful warm pub With excellent kept ales

Having booked a table at Water Rat for Sunday lunch, along we went with snow falling and I’m not sorry we took the chance. Lunch was extremely good plenty of it too. Staff very nice and served us well. We weren’t rushed at all , had two coffees sitting in comfy sofas by the fire. Can’t wait to return.

Really enjoyed our meal it was so warm and staff were really friendly and service brilliant food was really very enjoyable steak cooked to perfection.

Had a very good meal on Friday 2nd January after a walk along the Montgomery Canal. The menu was different from the usual fare offered by a lot of pubs nowadays and was presented nicely. My enchiladas were nicely spicy and were clearly homemade, and were accompanied with a decent salad and ( unnecessary) chips; there was already plenty of carbs on the plate. My wife’s chicken burger was perfectly cooked and had good sides. All were courteously served and were decent value for money.

Myself and partner thought we would give the last inn a try… we are so glad we did every bit of the food tastes lovely.. the puddings were just as good as the main meals too…

We booked just after New Year and at the beginning of opening time, not sure I would do this again, as it was quite a large open space and with us and only another couple of diners there really wasn’t much of an atmosphere and the it was very cold even though we were next to a radiator. They didn’t have what we wanted due to having no delivery’s over the festive period (we were informed) so we had to reorder and this took an exceptionally long time to arrive a little strange as we were the only ones being served. The food however was very good indeed and for this reason alone I would go back, but I would book at another time of day.

Was really disappointed yesterday. We always come to the swan for family meals but loads has changed. My son ordered the brisket which was at least 2/3 less than when we last came!!. The burnt ends were bigger but we got less. My partner had pit master burger but he said the meat was tasteless and dry. My wings were overcooked. My daughter ordered garlic bread which had no garlic on it. Service was good but thumbs down on the food guys. I don't know what happened??

The steak was superb, cooked to perfection, the pie was delicious & so was the sea bass, sides were also fabulous! Lovely venue to dine in & atmosphere was just right. However, the service was second to none - just brilliant, attentive but not suffocating, offered table water upon seating & brought replacement carafes as soon as asked, lovely polite & informed staff, we couldn’t have had better service. Thank you!
