The Half Moon Pub - Table reservation

Booked a table for lunch for a family gathering on a Sunday lunchtime, but that will be the last time. There was a catalogue of issues from the outset. No menus were provided to us, or given to us when asked, so had to order from the small list of meals given to us verbally. Meals incredibly overpriced Sunday roast, which should be the flagship meal of an English pub on a Sunday, was small, luke warm at best and had rock hard potatoes. Don’t be fooled by the large fish and chips the ‘large’ refers to the portion of chips, not the measly battered fish fillet.

We weren't sure what to expect following recent mixed reviews but were pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly and caring with the food of good quality and hot. It arrived quickly even though it was reasonably busy. We had herb crusted Salmon with new potatoes Steak pie of the day lovely chunky chips.. The is a warming wood burning fire but might be a good idea to don an extra layer on a chilly evening. we would revisit next time in the area
