Great food and good service

Went last night (29th Aug) for our first time since it reopened and must say that everything was great. Beautiful food, good friendly service and a great atmosphere. It was so nice to see a pub so busy and people having fun! Will definitely go again soon

Excellent service and atmosphere. The food was just the best. Thankyou.

First time under the new management, we had both a main meal and desert. The food was lovely, hot and looked fantastic. We will come back again very soon.

Very good Sunday Lunch with decent cutlery and cloth napkins. I will be going again.

Just got back from a brilliant Sunday roast. We had the beef and pork, both of which were absolutely delicious and perfectly tender. We also brought our two dogs along, and the staff were so welcoming towards them. They even brought out a little tray of meat scraps for the dogs, which was such a lovely touch! For pudding, we had the Galaxy cheesecake, which was absolutely lush. Overall, a fantastic meal, lovely staff and a really welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back again!

We had a lovely time yesterday. Sunday lunch was very tasty and plenty of it. Loved the extra gravy dish if we needed more. The galaxy cheesecake was to die for. The service was excellent. Didn't have to wait long for the food. Friendly staff. Definitely going back again.

We visited on Sunday and enjoyed a beautifully cooked roast lunch. Highly recommend the beef and pork! The food was delicious, a very good size and the staff looked after us. Well worth a visit!

We visited the Freke Arms on 20th August in the evening. We received a warm welcome from the staff and service was very good. We all enjoyed our various meals and there was no problem with my dietary requirements as a coeliac. We shall certainly be returning before too long.

Only comment I would make and I have found the same problem elsewhere is that the table was a bit sticky

Lovely meal at the Freke, we are glad it reopened. I had a 3 course of Tempura Prawns with a sweet chilli dip, Chicken Schnitzel and a Galaxy Cheesecake to finish. My wife had the fish and chips (we knew the fish would be good as it is from New Wave) and finished with the Creme Brulee. Excellent food, fairly priced and service was excellent. The young girl who was serving us was her first night, she was polite and did a great job. Tipped at the end and overall an exceptional dining experience. Highly recommend and we will book again.

Very enjoyable meal last Saturday evening 15 August we chose the Haddock very nice indeed the only thing missing was that we had to ask for Tartare sauce, but we come again soon

very nice young staff. The steak was not best quality rather chewy and over priced. The rest of our food was good but presentation was not the best needs some improvement.We will return and give it a second chance Overall very nice place just a few adjustments needed..

Hadn't been to the Freke for a while, had seen it had reopened so went to celebrate my husband's birthday. We weren't disappointed. Starter's were lovely, if a tad large for me , prawns in a tempura batter. Sea bass melted in my mouth and hubby's schnitzel was huge ! Rounded off with ice cream for him and lemon roulade for myself . Absolutely stuffed ! Couldn't fault the staff either

Our first visit since updated. Decor lovely and bright, not sitting on top of other diners. Nice welcome on entering, lovely young lady took order from an excellent menu. Food was delicious. We will be back !!!!

First time back since new owners. Very nice atmosphere. Food was delicious, a bit disappointed with the amount of vegetables.

Great food, excellent service & good pricing We will definitely be back soon

Best Sunday dinner we have had for a long time
