Love this place..2nd visit this month. Discovered it by accident and its lovely..the food is outstanding. I had the steak and cheese pie twice its so good. The pub is really cosy and the staff so welcoming..its definitely my new favourite place
This is a lovely restaurant/pub who are committed to good food at affordable prices.The staff are young,attentive and knowledgeable and give excellent service. My only issue is with the chips which arrived in a bowl and resembled mahogany wood pieces. I enquired whether they should be in this condition and I was told that was the way they cook chips. To me they tasted burnt and overcooked. Upon further request for the reason they are so dark I was told that they are that way as they are Albert rooster red potatoes .A quick check on YouTube suggested this was not the case. Our meal was good , the steaks perfect,just let down by inedible chips.
I recently visited The Old Original for a lovely Sunday meal, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. My partner opted for the Sunday roast, and the roast beef was cooked to perfection — tender and full of flavor, without being pink. I went for the rag pudding with chips and mushy peas, and I must say, the peas were absolutely delicious! (as was the homemade chips and rag pudding).The gravy had a rich, meaty flavor that really enhanced the meal, not bland like some places can be. Plus, the portion sizes were generous, and everything was piping hot when served. The service was excellent, with friendly and efficient staff making sure we had everything we needed. I chose from the fixed menu, and ended the meal with a lovely slice of chocolate fudge cake for dessert, which was a real treat! The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. The pub has a warm, inviting atmosphere, complete with a candle on the table, and the rural setting with its lovely views makes it a perfect place to unwind. While the car park is a little on the small side, street parking is available, so it’s not too much of an issue. All in all, I would highly recommend this pub. The food, service, and overall experience were top-notch, and I can’t wait to return soon!
Fantastic Sunday dinner. Phoned at last minute for a table and they fitted us in. Amazing food Staff & service great. Prices very good. Highly recommend.
This place is amazing. Took family who I raved about this place to. Equally as pleased. Easily a 10/10, even with the difficulty parking. The atmosphere is very cosy even when it is bustling and all the staff genuinely seem happy to be there.
If you want a lovely steak meal in a lovely country place you should go here at least once. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Food is awesome. We attempted the 3 course Sunday Lunch for £15 but only just about managed 2 courses. The portion sizes are bigger than average. It's such a wonderful place with a fabulous atmosphere
If you want authentic locally sourced 'pub grub' then this definitely is the place to go. The place is up in the hills and on entry you'll notice the old fashioned, authentic surroundings. It's very warm, lit by a woodburning fire has great beer, friendly service and delicious food. We'll be back thats for sure. Ps here's a tip.. Parking is a nightmare!! The car park is very small and surroundings are quite restricted due to residential housing and hills, expect your car to get dirty and don't drive up your brand new whip
