Not set foot in the Broad Face for twenty years, only met a friend there as it was a convenient location but so glad we did! Welcoed warmly, shown to our table, drinks ordered and arrived barely before we had sat down. An extensive menu, very reasonably priced and our hostess took time to.talk us through all the options. We ordered and the food arrived swiftly and was first rate, again our hostess checked without being intrusive if all was well and it was good. The pub has a lovely feel and has both booths and tables as well as places to sit if you just want a drink. Really impressed that a good lunch for two was well under £40 and wil be booking again for sure. First class from low expectations!

We had a table for 6. The food was very good and the service was exceptional. They have a very good real ale selection, including gluten free beer, which is important for one of our table. There was a quiz night and this was great fun and really well set with a good range of questions so everyone could contribute. I highly recommend the Broad Face.

Perfect for a group of old friends getting together.... we were not rushed and the ambience was just right for conversation. I think most of my party would give you more stars for the food. They are all meat eaters. For me as a vegetarian I was a bit disappointed by the unexciting options. I had the halloumi burger which was fine, just a bit ordinary compared with some of the many meat options.

Sunday 22 December 2024 my first visit here, we had just come from seeing Wicked at the local cinema. It was 4pm so not over busy, a real bonus! The waitress was lovely and friendly and took a real interest in our excitement over the film. We were not rushed. The space looked really nice, festive, and it was a cosy temperature. We both ordered the pork roast dinner... the waitress said it was delicious, and she was correct. Everything on the plate was cooked just right with plenty of gravy!!!! I would definitely go back. Congratulations to The Broadface on getting it right.
