    Absolutely fantastic experience. There was a lovely buzz to the place and a real sense of coziness when you walk in. Service was efficient, friendly and smooth. The food was excellent, I had the chicken and ham pie which was exceptional. Probably the best pie I’ve ever had. Also the chunky chips are spectacular. Brilliant work team!

    Fish and chips was really excellent. Desserts seemed a little overpriced but great service and a good atmosphere too.

    Another successful lunch at the Hatch Inn. We had just completed six miles on the Forest Way so this was a well deserved lunch. The food and service was great and it certainly had a very warm ambiance today, a good crowd of people were in the Inn.
