    Delicious food beautifully presented by friendly staff, including a change to a pre-ordered main with no problem at all. The roast potatoes were heavenly.

    Really very lovely, great selection of choices, and staff were just right, smiling, open, attentive, there when you needed them, unobtrusive otherwise. Food cooked fresh, so a steady waiting time, but not a problem. We were in the Agricultural Bar, and the only real downside was so was the coffee machine, which you'd expect in a coffee shop, but its noisy grind, amplified by the bare floors, was rather jarring. I appreciate it has to be *somewhere* but this did not detract from our general enjoyment. Have already recommended to others.

    Fantastic food at the Boars with lovely service. Great that we could bring the dog too - we had to sit in the bar because of this but it was so lovely!

    I came to the Boars last night with a friend, I have been before and enjoyed the lovely food and welcome. On this occasion unfortunately there was a mix up and my friends food was brought out and I had to wait for mine, sadly by the time mine came to the table my friend had almost finished their main. The food was good and service after was attentive on a no doubt busy evening for the staff but this did slightly marr the meal for me I will admit. I'm sure it was just a one off and I understand mistakes can happen at busy times when people are under pressure.

    Fabulous! We know it's going to be good before we even get there. We've been so many times and it's consistently good. Well done all the staff and thank you.

    We had a fabulous dinner for four in the cosy agriculture bar. Food and service were top notch.All four of us had something different and all dishes and puddings were excellent with such lovely service.
