    The ambience at The Buck was good although very warm. I imagine it would be more inviting in the winter as it is very cosy. The standard of service was excellent, we felt very welcome and well cared for. The only complaint we had was the quality of the food. We had fish and chips - the batter on the fish was rather limp and under fried and the chips were very dry and not particularly hot. We would return and give it another go as the staff were lovely.

    Dear Caroline, Thank you so much for your kind words- we are glad you enjoyed our service, our front of house staff will be very happy to hear your comments. So sorry to hear about your meal, this is not our usual standard and is disappointing. We do hope you return to experience our usual high standards. Thank you again

    We had a late afternoon booking on a Sunday. All roasts were still available and all was freshly cooked. Beautiful dining room, although the tables are a bit close together. Staff were very attentive and friendly.
