   The Filly Inn felt so promising but sadly failed to deliver. It was booked as part of my partner's 50th birthday celebration (weekend away). It looked perfect for a country pub evening with good food. Unfortunately, there were a few things that just did not meet expectations. A wobbly table, easily fixed? However, it was met with frustration from our waitress - although, in fairness they did let us move to another spot. The food was 'okay' although not accurately described. We had calamari to start (thankfully shared as it was quite expensive). It stated miso dip (it was just mayonnaise) I chose the Korean Burger with Asian slaw (which I love and make at home). My food arrived and there was no Asian slaw as described. When asking the waitress where it was, she explained it was the iceburg lettuce and red pepper in my burger. This is not Asian slaw! The dessert was good though...so I can recommend the chocolate Valice! The service from the youngest waitress was really bad. Dumped cutlery on the table at the edge, no interest or guidance when choosing meals, minimal eye contact, no pleases, thank yous. It honestly felt like we were a hindrance. Such a shame for what promised to be a lovely evening. It made it worse as we had a direct comparison from the evening before, where we were at Thai Brittannia and the food and service there was excellent!

   The food was excellent. We had a variety of fish and vegetarian dishes. Nice atmosphere. The service was quite slow, and putting a 12.5% service charge on a party of 4 should quite frankly be illegal. I know you can ask for it to be taken off but it's embarrassing to do this. This would make me probably not return to an otherwise lovely venue.

   Busy Sunday, 5pm with no roasts available. What we had was very enjoyable.

   Food ok, but nothing outstanding. Service was a let down as adjacent table got their starters and main before ours, even though we ordered first. Not a big deal as we were not in a rush. Stayed over with breakfast and again food very average.

   Lovely restaurant and perfect to take our little dog. Would have liked to have seen more gluten free options on menu but I understand this is difficult in majority of restaurants. Atmosphere however was lovely and quiet. Ample parking on site . Service I found was a little slow and had to approach staff to pay bill but all in all would return as dog friendly 🙂

    A lovely Sunday lunch for 4 people. We chose the chicken and beef roasts. Very good quality and not oversize. Nice selection of wines. Friendly and professional staff. Very nice location. Nice ambience.
