"I had a delightful lunch at The Horse and Groom today. This spacious pub offers plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, with excellent access throughout. The facilities for children are fantastic, including a large outdoor playground with a climbing frame and crazy golf. There’s a good variety of meals to choose from, but do keep in mind that the outdoor menu is limited and some COVID restrictions are still in effect. Overall, the food is well presented, and both the children's area and the leisure spaces are well maintained."

"If someone in your party is disabled, it can be difficult to find specific information. Before you visit, book a table on the ground floor. When you arrive, look for the sign for disabled parking, where there are six spaces right outside the ground floor entrance. You will have to navigate about 5-10 meters of gravel in the car park, but then everything is level access with no curbs or steps. There is also a disabled toilet. Enjoy your meal – we certainly did."

"Firstly, the pub itself was delightful an absolute warren of different spaces. Loo was spotless like the pub itself, eclectic in taste. Food was first class Yorkshire puds were outstanding, I’d go so far as to say the best I’ve had. Cauliflower cheese was gorgeous, plentiful meat veg nicely cooked. Now for the bits not so good; service was shambolic. We were asked 3 times by different waitresses if all was well. The fact they had a mechanical fault meaning orders didn’t get to kitchen is neither here nor there, but after 50minutes we asked on the foods arrival we were told of the issue. It could should have been handled much better. Plates etc were left on tables for new guests to sit down to. Desserts were a mixed bunch, pavlova was lovely but the crumble was not a crumble no crumble topping but a muesli type topping. Would I return? Possibly."

"I stopped here on a cycle ride around the island, in fact I made a slight detour from my planned route and it was most definitely worth it. The vegan nut roast was excellent with a nice range of veg and a jug of gravy. There are also other vegan options too. The staff were friendly and attentive (very helpful with directions) and the atmosphere was pleasant happy but not rowdy. There's also a garden. This really is a great find on the Island, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit. (I would give it 5 stars for their contribution to veganism but I'm not allowed because it isn't full veg)."

"Feeling somewhat put off, my family convinced me to give it another try after walking around the farm. However, I regret not sticking to my initial decision to go elsewhere for food. As I wait for my order, I feel compelled to write this review. Regardless of how great the food may taste, my experience with the service has tainted my opinion. The interaction between the server and customer during our order was below par in my opinion. As someone who has worked in the hospitality industry for many years, I believe that the first impression is crucial for any hospitality business to thrive. I would suggest providing customer care and service training for the woman who served us. While I don't live on the island and may not return for a holiday (not solely due to this experience), I certainly wouldn't visit this establishment again unless I saw an improvement in customer service. However, the young red-headed man who served us part of our food was polite and expressed hope that we would enjoy it. This gives me some hope that the standard of customer service may improve in the future."
