    Had a meal at Smallburgh crown for Father’s Day. There was 7 of us including 2 kids. The meal was lovely and very good value. Kids menu had a very good choice and the kids enjoyed the play area too.

    Attractive traditional pub. What we had to eat was very nice. We would have given five stars but they had run out of steak and mushy peas. Waitress was friendly and gave good service. Changed lager pump for us even though she was on her own

    Sorry to say but it was terrible. I ordered soup no flavour and so thick you could stand your spoon up in it it also took a hour to get it. It was very noisy but not really the pubs fault . I had lasagna burnt and very tough. Chips were sort of curled up and very hard like crisps . Very much like it had been left in a hot plate to long. My wife had the salmon also very tough and no flavour even in the veg . We were hungry so tried to eat it but left most of it. The pub was very busy they had music on. So didn't want to make problems so just paid and left.

    Great country village pub, lovely service and nice atmosphere, great value food and it was yummy. Would really highly recommend it if you're in the area. The garden is lovely as well, especially in the summer.

    Superb food but service soooo slow. We had to keep going to the bar asking if we could order. Have a drink and order pudding. 2 hours from arriving to getting our pudding. Terrible service
