We had a lovely meal on Xmas Eve. The game pie was delicious with a good selection of vegetables. The only negative was they forgot to bring our sharing starter. It wasn’t a problem as the main meal came quickly. It would be nice to be brought or offered water without having to ask too. The waiter was very pleasant and apologetic about the missing starter. Would recommend.

We dined at the Parson Woodforde tonight we have been before and rated it highly, unfortunately on this occasion it was not up to their normal standard, my friend had Monkfish, it was only partially cooked, it was replaced and the bill at the end of the evening was reduced but I felt let down by the experience.

Busy staff at bar acknowledged and sorted us quickly, and were efficient and personable throughout. The food was tasty and well cooked. Nibbles generous. Starters, lovely and mains v.good Tender rare venison and a very good game pie, thin walled pastry and right amount of sauce within. Didn't have dessert as too full up. Good selection of beers. Abbott was very good. Will come again. With friends.

My wife’s soufflé had collapsed pre arrival into a cheese pot and contained a sliver of plastic as from a container. Therefore returned and suggestion that she consumed it with plastic removed declined. My chicken dish was supposed to come with a sauce in a small jug but jug empty except for dried up remnants of something that appeared to have spent too long in a microwave. Having said all that we did enjoy a wonderful meal here a few months ago and will certainly give your restaurant another try before too long.

Four of us visited today for our annual Festive get together. The food was cooked to perfection and presented very well indeed. Everything tasted fantastic. This delightful pub has a lovely vibe. The staff are truly exceptional, friendly and welcoming. We are very lucky to live within a few miles and will return in the New Year. Couldn't fault a thing.
