THE COWHERDS REVIEWS
I have visited many times but I am amazed I have never left a review! I really enjoy this pub. I love the history it’s seeped in. The food is great too. It’s traditional pub food. Only tiny issue is that parking could be a bit tricky.
First time visiting, waited a least 10 minutes for a waitress but then decided to order via the App which was easy enough, food was OK although main took a while to be bought out, good selection on menu, would return again for food and drink.
Came here for dinner on a Saturday, service was pretty fast once we'd placed our orders, but was quite slow to get to that stage. We weren't informed of what was not available off the menu so by the time we ordered, 3 of our choices weren't possible. Despite this, the meal was great, theres a relaxing countryside atmosphere inside, and we had a warm table by a log fire. Would definitely recommend, and would come back again.

The food was very good, there is a great choice, we really liked the starters. It was so good we went back for breakfast the next day which was also excellent. If your looking for a dog friendly resteraunt with great food you wont go wrong. Highly recommended.

SANTO LOUNGE REVIEWS
The staff were so helpful & accommodating to my daughters allergies, they substituted an ingredient in one of their meals so that she could eat it without worrying! So very grateful. All staff were friendly & happy to help. We were a party of 9 & all ordered at different points of the evening & everything came out promptly. Would definitely recommend.
Really nice place. The staff were friendly and the food was fantastic and something a little different. I was staying locally for work and will definitely go back if in the area again. Vegetarian options: My colleague had a vegetarian breakfast and really enjoyed it.
Amazing food, very fast service on food and drinks, nice environment inside as well. Definitely will be coming back.
