Lovely staff and lovely pie and very tasty.

When you have spent a few days cooking for the family, I was so looking forward to our meal at The Smokey Cow....... We were told we could sit wherever we wanted even though we had booked. That's not how to do it, make your guests feel special, show them to their table, give them their menu or take their drinks order. I made the effort to book with you, at least make the effort to acknowledge that. We were told that there were no ribs (again, that's the third time), no scampi, no SF chicken and no hand cut chips. Disappointed to say the least! My fiancé and son chose burgers each which were ok but not what they had wanted. I chose Mac and cheese and asked for buffalo chicken, also not what I had wanted but thought it would be tasty. No buffalo chicken and no garlic pretzel. I chose bacon and a side salad. Putting a very small amount of salad by a warm dish is not okay. Come on! The Mac and cheese was over cooked, tasted odd, almost old. I could not be bothered to say anything as the staff were too busy chatting to everyone at the bar. The girl serving us was sweet and did her job well but what's the point in complaining when the food was poor and half of it missing from the menu. £5 for a small dish of seasoned fries is unfair! To add insult to injury, the girl serving us came over, dumped cheap crackers on the table and said her supervisor had told her to do so. We left them, our Christmas spirit has been squashed We have always had a lovely time at the Smokey Cow but this was far from acceptable. It is no excuse whatsoever that you have been busy over Christmas. Poor planning. Don't open for food if you cannot manage it. Not sure what went wrong but nobody seemed bothered. Used to be a great place to go! Sad times!

Had a super time at The Smokey Cow. Food was delicious and the service was great. A lovely place that I have returned to on different occasions.

We went here on a recommendation and we are glad we did we had a family party for my sons 40 th birthday food was good and everyone was really friendly

As much as this place looks nice the food was the worst I tried this year… and prices really didn’t reflected what we received on our plate! Let’s start from the chicken and Pulled beef Bao buns for a starter… Chicken had more coating than actual meat which is really frustrating. And don’t get me start with the Bao Buns… pulled beef the hint in the name right!? Instead I received the cut offs of roasted beef -chewy, no seasoning not even tiny bit of lettuce or something - but no! just plain Bao bun, soaked in sriracha sauce and chewy beef slice….my lips were still burning by the next day! Steak and chips looked ok but had to remind about the side sauce. I ordered the pulled beef brisket! Again! This is not pulled beef brisket! Pulled brisket should fall apart, melt in your mouth l, be juicy! I received in my plate same beef slices as I got in my bun ! Best thing about my meal was chips! Beans were cold as well. True disappointment! They either don’t had chef that day or this place go down the hill! And the bonus from all this me and my mates stomach wasn’t the bestest that evening after we were back from dinner.. what a Saturday! Owners should get back on track very rapidly! Otherwise it is close to disaster

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here, great atmosphere, food was very tasty, service great we will be revisiting.

Their roasts are always fantastic so took my parents for food from the festive menu, it didn’t disappoint , lovely place to Eat or just have a drink

We went here on a friday evening as a spur-of-the-moment date night with my partner. The pub was very nice, gentle lighting throughout and a very relaxed atmosphere with a log fire in the centre of the pub, warming us and drying us out on a typical winters night. We drank lager, cold and refreshing and the staff where lovely. I ordered a chicken, leek and ham pie, my partner ordered a cowboy pot-pie. The food was very nice although I received the 5-bean pie instead of the chicken. No issue was raised as I actually enjoyed the meal but this could cause dietary issues if a non-meat eating person ordered the vegetarian option and received a chicken pie. The sides we ordered where very nice and freshly prepared and we didn't have dessert this time but will be sure to try them on our next visit.

We had a lovely evening in the Golden Ball, reminiscing about visits over the years. The food was lovely, I recommend the faggots if they are on the menu when you visit. My friends had the crispy beef strips and said it was delicious. Atmosphere was relaxed, and warm - helped by the log burner. Always a good experience at the Golden Ball.

Great Sunday lunch Sharing platter with all of the roast meats ! All pubs should offer this

We haven't been to this pub for a few years. We had a fabulous Sunday lunch with lovely food and staff so we will not leave it so long this time

Thoroughly enjoy our Sunday lunch. Great beer, Great staff and Great location!…the dog loved it too!

Haven’t eaten at the Golden Ball for a long time but found the food and service excellent.

Great food and service nothing but compliments for this place . Good portions and always a great meal . Highly recommend !

Lovely meal. Exceptional value with the kids deal for a £1.50 meal. Great time for all

Lovely cosy pub with friendly staff Food was good quality and very reasonable price

Absolutely fabulous, I cannot recommend highly enough. Nothing to fault at all. The food, the drinks, the staff are all top tier. Exactly how a pub should be. It sets a standard that most others cannot reach
