Lovely meal with the family. Huge portions of good home cooked food. Staff friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They had ran out of quite a bit of dishes but they offered us alternatives which was fine. Reasonably priced. Will return.

Come here regularly after my walks around the village. Good selection of larger and recently a much better ale selection. Only minor criticism it would be lovely to be open every day for lunch as sometimes it closed.

Came here recently. I believe they had a different chef to normal in the kitchen, however the food was fantastic as normal. Great service, very attentive.

We really enjoyed our Valentine's Day meal. It was lovely to see a different menu than the normal weekly one. The amount of food was ideal (often we find the platefuls overwhelming) and it was very tasty. We were disappointed when we ordered gin and tonics to be told there were no lemon slices. However when we complained the waitress did manage to find a slice! We were also slightly disappointed that there was no attempt to decorate the room for Valentine's Day. You could buy hanging decorations from the community shop...

Beautiful food, well presented and fairly good service speed etc. enjoyed all that we ordered. Will be coming back.

Had a great relaxing night no one rushing you for your table back, staff really helpful , good food, drinks and music to top it all, will definitely return , thanks for a lovely evening

Our food on Saturday evening was excellent, however, because it was so busy, we ordered drinks which didn’t arrive and were added to the bill. There was also a random serving of fries added to the bill, which we hadn’t ordered or received- not a deal breaker, we will return. The music man was a bonus- great sound, finished the evening off nicely. Thank you.

Arrived early at 7.10pm for a 7.30 reservation. Got taken to our table within 2 mins. Took drink order at 7.15pm took 15 mins to arrive. Food order taken at 7.30pm and food arrived at 8.10pm. There were plenty of staff on and the restaurant wasn’t full. Food was ok. Plates were cold so the meat element of my meal was only Luke warm. Got asked by the waitress if we needed sauce, we asked for mayonnaise which never showed up!!! Never got asked if we wanted more drinks. Waited 15 mins after finishing our meal and no service so didn’t order pudding. I waited another few minutes and went to the bar to pay. All the waiting staff looked very young and there was distinct lack of management. Overall it was a disappointing meal, the food could of been better, the service was slow and poor. There was a live singer on who was so loud we had to raise our voices to talk to each other. You don’t need a loud mic and the amp turned up full in such a small setting. We have been visiting this establishment for a drink in the beer garden over the last few years. ( The service is always slow) It’s a shame as it’s a nice looking pub with a good menu. We won’t be visiting for a meal again soon.

Overall a good experience was a very loud atmosphere on arrival a lot of people speaking loudly to be heard over the other tables. Once the singer started everyone seemed to quite down the singer was great a nice change to just music over speakers. The starter was incredible unfortunately my partner was disappointed with the items that were unavailable that we weren’t made aware of until ordering. A few ingredients seemed to be missing off the starters as listed on the Menu but didn’t effect the overall starter tasted amazing! We waited for about an hour between starters to mains which seemed abit of a long time I understand it was busy due to a few larger tables and being valentines weekend but we arrived at half 7 got our starters 45 minutes after arrival and got our mains at just gone 9pm. The one member of staff we spoke to was really friendly and chatty who took our order she was great and was having a laugh with us.

Eight of us ate Sunday Lunch at the Smokey Cow. On the whole the food was good. We skipped starters and went for mains. My chicken, ham and leek pie was perfect. Decent portions and very tasty. My wife had a large 1/2 chicken, which was also spot on. However, my daughter was disappointed by her steak (@£24.50) which she said was a bit dry. The desserts were good, but my chocolate orange tart was a bit dry and looked like it was bought in and defrosted - not made on site. One amusing thing was the waitress, who admitted to a lack of knowledge of the wine list and insisted on calling sauvignon blanc, sow vin blank. We may go again, as the menu had other items we'd like to try.

Lovely friendly and relaxed atmosphere, food was tasty and plenty of will definitely be coming again

Really great atmosphere and lovely little place. Great meal as good as I had remembered from being there 6 months before.

We booked the Smokey Cow for a birthday meal for 10 people. I received an email asking for a pre order so that we weren’t disappointed if there weren’t items on the menu and so it would be easier for the kitchen. This was sent over a week in advance. I received a call 2 hours before our reservation to be told there were no pies available, which three of our party ordered. When I stated we sent over a pre order and asked the reason for this I was told ‘the kitchen have lost the pre order and pies were never ordered from the butchers.’ On the way over I called the restaurant and added the replacement meals and asked to check the order over so there were no issues when we arrived. We arrived and ordered drinks, to be told there wasn’t enough of what we had ordered, so we needed to choose again. we were then told they didn’t have those drinks either. Before our food, we were notified that one meal was missing off the pre order - which we couldn’t believe as it was on the email that was sent and was also on the order when we checked on the way to the restaurant. The food is incredible and despite the issues, staff were lovely. The lack of organisation, however, really let the restaurant down. I have been before in a smaller group and visited another Craft and Jam restaurant elsewhere, and never had these issues.

Lovely food and a friendly atmosphere

Service was amazing the girl serving couldn't do enough for us. Food was great value for money.

Popped in for a drink last week during a walk around the village. Pleasantly surprised to find out they serve food during lunch too. Dark haired manager on bar was friendly and talkative, telling us about the family owned group.
