Dog And Bull - Table reservation

We were recommended this pub in the area by the visitors book and decided to make a reservation for a table for two with our dog. Upon arriving, it was very busy with large parties and we couldn't locate our reserved table. We asked at the bar but no one seemed to be seating people. It appeared that our booking was not written down, so we were given an unreserved table and menus. We had to order at the bar due to a shortage of waiting staff. Despite waiting 45 minutes for our meal, no one came to update us on the delay. The wait was so long that a nearby couple had finished their meal, ordered dessert, and left before we were served.

I made a reservation for Christmas lunch at this restaurant and I am so glad I did. The food was absolutely fantastic - the roasted turkey with all the traditional accompaniments was delicious, and the vegetable dish was an amazing array of fresh options. There was so much food that we couldn't finish it all. Despite the pub being busy, the service from just one waitress and the manager was impressive. It was clear that the restaurant is well-managed. It was definitely worth the money spent.

A truly lovely and down to earth pub. Dog friendly, good range of real ale and good delicious menu. We were drawn to the pub as it was closest to where we were staying and with the awful weather we thought it best not to travel to far. A good result all round. Great food, great atmosphere and good evening
