What Our Guests Say
Posted on Google Robert HaskinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great starters.Posted on Google RebeccaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an awesome family meal here. There was a table available for six when we walked in for an early dinner and the place started filling up around 6pm (Monday night). The food was superb. We particularly loved he parsnip soup and the potatoes with the spatchcock. The burgers were meaty and juicy and the homemade buns were great. The chips tasted fresh and the fish batter was crunchy while the fish itself was soft and flavourful. The service was excellent - the barman/waiter was very efficient and polite (and doing the job of 5 staff in a lot of places!). The atmosphere was great with a small town feel. The street and area was so lovely. We likened it to our little hometown in Australia and we felt at home. What a great and convenient stop between London and Edinburgh. I hope we get to return at some point.Posted on Google Niamh CorryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a really great meal, food was excellent and service was welcoming and friendly. What a lovely team. Our whole experience was faultless, thank you … we will be back!Posted on Google RS TUVTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful. Ignore the single negative review - this place is great. Lively food and service. Good selection of drinksPosted on Google Jane JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Second time I’ve visited here (first time was earlier this year when it was still the Bay Horse) and I wasn’t disappointed. Visited as a family of four with our two dogs who were made very welcome, as were we. Fantastic pub food which you can tell is freshly made and is reasonably priced. Very good service too, all in front of a lovely, roaring real fire which was very welcome on a cold and wet November evening. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back or recommend to others.Posted on Google Callum McDougallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is one of our locals, living in Wetherby, and we are so lucky this pub is here. Despite the fact we have upwards of a dozen pubs in walking distance, we come here every time we just fancy some food out. The food is superb! Always! The pub is basically split in half, with an informal restaurant on one side and a cosy pub area on the other, but it is mostly geared around food, which is understandable in today's world. They often run light on staff, but again, totally understandable In this day and age, so for those who've come for the first time, i'd encourage patience if they are busy. We are so glad we have them and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be assured of a lovely, cosy, fulfilling meal. P.s. best Fish and Chips anywhere!! And the crumble is to die for. I pretty much have these every time!
