THE SHIRE HORSE REVIEWS
Food and service were fantastic. I travel a lot for work and this was a truest lovely place. It’s nothing special to look at but a great selection of food on the menu and the staff were both friendly and professional whilst able to have a good laugh when the time came. I enjoyed myself so much I came back on the second night of my visit and was very pleasantly welcomed. Stacey was a fabulous host and the food was lovely. I hope to be back again at some point soon.
A Saturday afternoon lunch using Tesco vouchers to part pay for a nice meal. Table service includes drink orders, staff very friendly and helpful. Smothered chicken is really Hunters chicken. Good to have cod and not haddock like many places serve when you ask for fish n chips. Must remember to enter your vehicle registration on entry or a fine will be issued from carpark owners Beer was mainly lagers and IPAs would of preferred a more traditional ale but that’s just my preference.
I have eaten here a few times. The food is always good. Last time the service wasn't so good ...this time it was absolutely brilliant. The staff were both friendly and efficient. Glad I gave them another try. Will definitely be back.

THE OLD SMITHY REVIEWS
Lovely décor and ambience, the staff were warm, friendly and helpful. We had a buffet meal as we were attending a birthday party. The selection of food was great and it was all delicious. The sausage rolls deserve a special mention, I don't think I've ever had better ones. I would like to see a wider selection of hand pulled real ale but otherwise an excellent venue.
We had a fantastic Sunday roast dinner here. Everything you would expect, very well cooked, plenty of veg. All the food tasted fresh, homemade and authentic. The only negative was that we waited about 30 min before anyone took our food order. Staff were friendly but we'd appreciate being told that there might be a bit of a wait if they were particularly busy.
Relaxed atmosphere with attentive service from smart, professional staff. Sunday lunchtime table for 3 with 3 different mains; 1 Lamb, 1 beef and a fish dish. All cooked and presented to high standard, a cut above many other local restaurants for food and service. Go and try for yourself.
