Haven’t been here since it changed hands, what a refreshing change. Superb food, generous portions, very good value. The service was excellent, plenty of various size tables all spread out. Lovely outdoor area too. We will definitely be back very soon and have recommended to friends. It’s ideally located and great parking too. So glad we returned

This was our first time at the Owl. The Sunday roast was lovely, couldn’t complain about anything. The table was a round 4 person table which we find better for talking to the people joining you. There were different size tables of which some more rectangular. Staff were attentive and pleasant.

We drive 40 minutes to the owl about once a month for what is normally a lovely Sunday roast but today was well below par just a load of slop swimming in gravy

A nice find. We knew about this pub for some time already but were under the impression that they do not allow dogs in there. This is not the case and we happily enjoyed our evening with our dog Dougie, in the bar area. The staff were friendly and pleasant, the food was good, the service good also. Plenty of parking space and a very nice garden area. We shall definitely return as we live only 4 miles away.

The food was hot but that’s about it. I had shepherds pie with buttered cabbage and bacon. I think k they forgot the bacon and the shepherds pie was made with pulled lamb which isn’t what I expected. Also had mini pudding and coffee and the pudding came out in a micro saucepan! It was meant to be a fruit crumble but got mainly crumble and the. The custard didn’t come so had to wait. Positives was the coffee was nice and staff ok. I did mention how disappointed I was but was just told sorry. Won’t be back or recommend.

Really nice food. We had the chicken schnitzel and beef burger. Only thing that could have been better was the service - was a bit on the slow side considering how little tables were there at the time to be served. But will definitely be back!
