"We used the Pizza takeaway service a couple of times and the Pizza 's were absolutely stunning. Stonebaked and plenty of your chosen toppings, which were all very fresh. This prompted us to try their resteraunt food. We decided on a Sunday lunch, we sat in the bar area as we had our dogs with us and we were politely informed that they were not allowwed in the main resteraunt area fair enough . The table looked as though it had not been cleaned in a decade. My daughter cleaned it off with some baby wipes we had in the dog bag and three of them were almost black. We had already purchased drinks at the bar and taken them to our table with us. The young woman from behind the bar bought us over the Sunday lunch menu. We chose our starters; Creamy garlic mushrooms with a side salad Garlic mushrooms were in fact in a tart, not many mushrooms and not really much in the way of garlic! Salad was limp and consisted of lettuce and a piece of tomato! . Prawn cocktail a reasonable percentage of the prawns were still frozen! Salad...same story! . Pate and crusty bread with chutney Pate was ok. Crusty bread was three slices of a demi baguette toasted very hard . Chutney was insipid and tasted of not much at all!. We had approximately a 15 min wait between starter and main. We asked for a vegetarian sunday lunch and was asked if we would like beef or chicken gravy??? Then we orded a chicken roast and a steak pie you didn 't get an option with the veg, chips and microwaved, watery mashed swede! Vegetarian meal was a total tragedy. Concrete mashed potato, sloppy microwaved swede. Roast potatoes cooked in either beef dripping or goose fat and one small piece of parsnip cooked in the same! And a training football sized, rock hard yorshire pudding, that had also been cooked in animal fat! Chicken roast. Rubber chicken, I am sure it would have bounced if we had tried! Concrete mash, microwaved sloppy swede. The obligatory animal fat roasted parsnip and roast potatoes. Not forgetting the rock hard Yorkshire pudding that was about the size of a training football. There were vegetables to be shared between these two meals.... 'A selection of fresh vegetables '. The cabbage was boiled to within an inch of its life and the carrots were dried out in the middle, that was the entire vegetable selection! The steak pie was served with chips and sloppy microwaved swede. The chips were ok, but well over cooked. Swede awful, no flavour. The steak pie...wasn 't exactly a pie, it was a dish of actually quite nice tender stewed steak with a rich beef gravy with a puff pastry top. The puff pastry top was nearly 3 inches deep and hard as a bullet, you just needed to look at it and it exploded. Plusses: Staff are friendly and helpful Prices would be reasonable if the food was any good!! The location of the pub itself Great Pizza! The resteraunt area is bright and inviting Minuses: Had to teach the bar staff how to pull a Guiness properly! Most of the food is awful There are on average three different sports being shown at the same time in the bar area, making it very noisy. The non restaraunt pub area seating and area doesn 't look as though it has had a decent deep clean since the banning of smoking in pubs! The pub area is quite dark and dingy. Last food orders are taken at 18:50 ten to 7pm! !!!!"

I ordered a lamb roast dinner and unfortunately the lamb was not edible. In fact it was so poor I wouldn’t give it to my dogs. I rang the pub to complain and the manager wasn’t bothered whatsoever. Said it was the first complaint he had, as if I must be wrong. This isn’t surprising as his tone inside the restaurant is not friendly and welcoming.

Been for Sunday lunch today which was fine , until they were clearing our plates etc away, when they took the bowl which had the mint sauce in it they didn’t put it with the dirty table ware they placed it back into the table where all the fresh mint sauces were , I thought this might of been a mistake but no every other bowl was placed on that place

Visited on Saturday afternoon, food was disgraceful.3 tables in, staff disinterested. Ordered the veg stir fry.... it had cooked carrots, peas and boiled potatoes in it as if the chef had dumped left over veg in it. The rice tasted stale, chips OK. Husband had pepper chicken, clearly frozen chicken strips. Shockingly bad. Used to be a nice place. Will be avoiding from now on. Voir le carte

This was the second visit for lunch, we returned as our first visit food was lovely. This visit was a disappointment, maybe it was what we ordered but out of 5 meals only one was really enjoyed rest was ok. I would avoid the dinner as it was like left over veg heated up with smash for mashed potatoes. The meat was lovely veg not so good. Previously had lasagne it was lovely came with home made chips.

Went to the Village Inn for a quiet meal with a couple of family members. Service was excellent, food was brilliant, however, a man I presume to be the owner came in and was shouting at the staff in front of customers. He was very rude, unprofessional and it really dampened them atmosphere in the place. Another customer had spoken to the member of staff in question and asked if they wanted anything said, to which they replied they didn’t. However I wouldnt feel right if I didn’t raise the issue as it is completely unacceptable for an owner to speak to his staff in that manner.

We come here on a regular basis for tea with family and to be fair have never had room for complaint but this visit was a wow ..on entering (there was 6 plus baby to an empty pub par 1 table off 4 we asked if there was any tables free ..we were quickly shown to one given menus etc to then be approached by (owner I think we need that table back in 2 hours..why give us table then? that pissed me off straight away but then went from bad to bad to be fair every meal we were served had a problem (fish greasy as hell,chips unbeatable,lasagne more tomato than anything else,dinner beef was inedible list could go on to be fair !! It’s a shame as always been high in my places to eat Voir le carte

Pizza's were good, the rest of the food was terrible. Vegetarian Sunday lunch consisted of roast potatoes and a slice of parsnip cooked in beef dripping, Yorkshire pudding, also cooked in beef dripping with a side plate of boiled carrots and boiled cabbage. I was given the choice of beef gravy or none. The Cajun Spiced Vegetable Wraps (with Tomato Salsa, Sour Cream Dressing, Salad Garnish and Chips) was actually a pot of leftover vegetables (peas, carrots, cabbage and peppers) in gravy with a hit of chili sauce, no tomato salsa, no sour cream dressing, no salad and a pile of chips cooked in beef dripping, there were three tortilla wraps too. The chairs in the pub were stained and sticky and...

"Started off really well and went over to the counter and ordered a crepe with banana and Nutella and specifically stated no strawberries I also asked for a San Pelegríno still water as this was on the menu also. I was the first person to order and the last to eat in the end. I got brought my water over which was a cheaper brand water that I just paid £2 for what would I have liked to have seen ? We’ll when I asked for san pelligrino still water to be told that they don’t have that in. Finally my crepe comes and I take a bite and realise that it’s got strawberries in all the way through which I’m allergic too. One of my family members takes it back and says that I asked for banana not strawberry there’s a reason why I can’t eat it and didn’t want it on my crepe. Then 5 minutes later another crepe comes out that was my bitten crepe that someone had opened up and picked the strawberries out and put banana in. Disgusting absolutely … not sure if this was a mistake or just being stingy either way it’s not on. It then again gets returned because there is no way I am eating that and it gets explained once again there is a reason I can’t eat strawberries to which then one of the owners comes over to serve the correct crepe and apologise . I really hope a lesson was learnt today because cross contamination is not a joke. Please be careful when eating there. I didn’t get offered a refund but then again they were willing to serve me a bitten crepe again so it didn’t surprise me that much."
