Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Owl offers a delightful dining experience with "exceptional food" and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is dog-friendly and boasts attentive staff. While the menu is "of a very high standard," choices may be limited for non-meat eaters. Some guests noted slow service, but the charming setting compensates.

    Familiar with the Owl for years. A re-curb brought us back after previous disappointments. No discernible improvement in comfort or furniture. Service at mid-week lunch was interminably slow. Food very average overall and two pies were over-cooked. Celebration meal so no complaint made to spoil the moment. Very disappointing and will not return on this showing. Meal and drink prices acceptable.

    Brilliant from start to finish. Particularly good food. A cut above pub grub. I’m going back and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Owl to my friends

    What a great place , we were a party of four for Sunday lunch, and what a lunch, it was first class and very reasonable too, would recommend to everyone, but would advise to book your table.

    Meeting friends - tables apart from 1, very small for 4 person ding. Staff very pleasant but having to go to the bar for every requirement is tedious & awkward sometimes. Food (pies x4) - pastry b very hard, filling nonexistent and more cabbage than mash potato. Wouldn’t recommend or return in a hurry.

    First time eating here after the renovation. Lots of promise - nice food, responsive staff and comfortable surroundings. Once the waiting staff settle into their roles and gain confidence it will become a great place to eat.
