Accidentally turned up here instead of The Vine in Barfield with our elderly mother. The proprietor Nicky was very accommodating and we were seated alone at the opposite end of the bar. Sadly the fire wasn’t working, so a little chilly for a 90 year old. The food whilst limited was very nice. We chose the roast beef. It would have stayed warmer though if the plates had been heated first. The mulled wine was warm and pleasant. Unable to make a cappuccino, their normal coffee was very nice. The crumble ordered for our mum was boiling hot. We returned it and asked that it be placed in a cooler bowl so could be eaten. The hand dryer in the ladies toilet was broken and no option for any hand towe...
What a disappointment! My family and I went for a Sunday roast, but it definitely wasn't worth the £16.50 price tag. The medley of vegetables listed on the menu was lacking, with only a spoonful of carrots and some raw red cabbage that other diners were complaining about. I ordered cauliflower cheese as an extra, but it was mistakenly given to another table as a complimentary dish. When I asked where mine was, they were only just going to cook it, and I had wanted it with my roast. The portion of beef was small, the Yorkshire pudding undercooked, and to top it off, a glass of wine cost a steep £8. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place - even other diners were complaining about the same is...
We checked the previous comments on the Inn before we booked. They seemed very complimentary. We booked. From the outside it didn’t look too bad. Inside it was dark, unwelcoming and cold. The menu was limited and if you didn’t particularly like a roast or vegetarian tart you could have been stuck. A burger was an option. I have to say three roasts later and my fellow guests weren’t impressed. The food was not I am sure homemade and seemed like Brakes bros food. You can see in the kitchen through a door in the corridor by the toilets. We won’t be going back. The only benefit was the waitress who was very nice and her colleague. Prices were good.
This was our first trip to the Vine Inn. The food was good, although its a shame the specials board was bear which reduced our options but the service was excellent and friendly. Prices were also reasonable. The only reason I mark as a 4 is the venue itself could do with a bit of updating. It was a little sparce and there was little atmosphere. I would definitely go back with my husband but it's not somewhere I would take friends for a special evening out. Many thanks

We visited here with our friends on Sunday. We had heard that the Sunday roast was delicious so decided to give it a try. The service was very friendly and efficient. Two of our party had starters halloumi and Tempura King prawns) . Both of which were excellent. As for the roast it was everything We had been hoping for . Plenty of food and beautifully cooked. The price I feel was very reasonable. We will certainly be returning. Thank you .
The service and staff are what truly stand out at this restaurant. The atmosphere is friendly and cosy, with locals being very welcoming. The food, to be honest, is just okay - average to slightly better. However, it is the exceptional service that elevates this pub from a 3-star to a 4-star experience.
This charming neighborhood pub has a cozy atmosphere and recently underwent a fantastic renovation. The pub quiz is a hit with customers, and they offer reasonably priced drinks. Don't forget to say hello to Milo, the adorable pub dog!

Not as home made as thought Probably someone’s aunties Yorkies and roasts Veggies would be surprised if fresh Pastries needed some kind of flavouring Overall experience very poor
Very friendly and helpful staff. Good food with varied gluten free options. We had a very nice meal with good service and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.
