Upon our arrival, we noticed several staff members gathered behind and around the reception desk. However, as soon as we entered, they all promptly moved into the kitchen, leaving us unattended at the desk while they continued chatting. As for the food, there was not enough gravy and it was quite dry. The dish lacked vegetables and had an excess amount of potato, with roasties that were too large and slightly undercooked in the middle. On a positive note, the dessert, specifically the sticky toffee pudding, was superb. Unfortunately, there were numerous flies present in the dining room and bar area. The staff appeared to be lacking in customer service skills, as most of the service was devoi...
A super Sunday lunch. Roast beef cooked to perfection. Pork loin with lots of crunchy crackling. And the biggest whale this side of Whitby ok it was battered Haddock, with chips and mushy peas. Brilliant. The olde world restaurant was a fine back drop to our three generational family lunch which tasted even better because Granddad paid. Only niggle were the very hard carrots left by each of the five roast eating guests. No biggy and we mentioned it when asked. I do have a theory though as to why the carrots were on the very crunchy side and that is I am sure they are given to local horses as there are, I am told, a number of staff members who ride. Lucky horses. In summary... sounds like the...
We had a wonderful lunch with friends at this restaurant. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, and all the tables were full by the time our food arrived. We ordered sea bass, chicken, lamb chops, and a delicious steak and ale pie, which were all excellent and very tasty. The prices were reasonable as well. The service was a bit slow, but it was understandable as the pub was packed. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be returning. The Timothy Taylor beer was also well-maintained.
We had two excellent meals here during our stay nearby. The quality of the food was excellent with a great choice on the menu. The dining room was well appointed and comfortable. The service was warm and friendly and we were made to feel very welcome. We were delighted to learn that local chef, Mark Westaby, who served us meals on wheels during our Yorkshire holiday stay in 2020 was now in the kitchen here. We should have guessed as his food is always top quality. Highly recommended.

Years ago, I wrote up my favourite bar in Venice. Schoolboy error. It was another five years before I managed to secure a table again,. So I am reluctant to share this secret with you, but it is only fair on the great team that run it to keep it busy. It is a virtuous circle, of benefit to all. It is not, however, a place for woke townies. Go see, sample and adopt; this is a very special place.
We spent most of Sunday in the Fauconberg lovely friendly pub great beer and we had a fantastic Sunday roast, the beef was top class and we thought for the quality of food, beer and wine it was very well priced bar staff were great and allowed us to move tables so we could eat and drink wine so we could watch Manchester United beat Brighton on penalties while we ate
Saturday lunch. Easy to park outside. Proper beer, well kept. Good and varied pub food, plus specials such as seafood platter, fish of the day, lamb 's liver. Well cooked, the star was the chocolate brownie though, best I 've ever tasted from our brownie expert. Service charming and very efficient. A great place in this handsome village.
The food was excellent, but the service was horrendous. The staff was extremely rude and made everyone feel uncomfortable. I won't be returning anytime soon, which is a shame because this pub has always been great. I am very disappointed.
