  “We had a delicious meal yesterday 2 pm 6th August for our wedding anniversary. We love The Running Horse as it’s close to home, in a lovely location with great parking and is rarely crowded as the seating is well organised. The meal yesterday was one of the best we’ve had there, the lamb was superb. The service as usual was excellent. It’s become our ‘go to’ place for meals on special occasions. We noted that there is a nice area away from the dining area close to the bar where you can take your pet dog too so we must do that one day. Thankyou Running Horse and our compliments to the Chef.”

  “We called in at the Running Horse after a trip to the safari park yesterday. I used my tesco club card points to pay. The whole experience was brilliant, lovely food, reasonably priced the childrens portions were the same size as the adults portions and only £9 for 3 courses this included a steak option which my daughter demolished. Lovely location with a huge beer garden for the kids to run around. Amazing service hats off to the lady behind the bar and the chef as there were only two of them working. We will definitely be returning.”

  “Beautiful pub on the country side, stopped quickly for some light bite, decided to have only starter: duck with vegetables. Truffle fries were out of this world.”

  “We called in here today, April bank holiday Monday, as a trip out for an afternoon. We were met by the manger glen who asked us if we had a booking. We were sat and had a look at the drinks before choosing and were happy with the good range of drinks to pick from. Having looked at the menu there were some great choices to choose from. Food was served and we wasn’t disappointed at all, everything was hot and tasted lovely, 5* to the chef! A lovely member of staff offered desserts and more drinks to us and was very polite and friendly. As it was a lovely day we all went and sat outside in the big garden area with benches and tables and chairs great for family as it’s inclosed as well. Definitely returning again with photos below to show our lovely meals.”

  “Popped in for lunch today… great pub, was busy and fireplaces were lit. We sat in the garden but moved indoors not quite summer yet. But lovely garden with helpful and attentive staff. Food was great, had a steak sandwich and I recommend to Caramel Sunday… will be back for more”

  “We stayed here in our motorhome on a Saturday in February having checked first. There's a very big car park so plenty of space but as it's on a main road there's a bit of road noise overnight but nothing to disturb our sleep. We felt very safe there. We had a meal which was excellent and felt it was very good value. The staff were very friendly and efficient and I'd have no worries about going back there in the future if I'm in the area.”

  “Visited Tuesday night (7th) for a family dinner. Hadn't been for a long time so was keen to see how it was after many recent 5* reviews. The internals are still cosey, very pleasant place to sit and eat and/or drink. Service was good (shout to Lisa) who was quite attentive, she did however seem to be the main person running the show so although the service was good there was some brutal efficiency to it as she also had to serve many other tables and serve drinks. Food was a disappointment however. The fish & chips looked quite sad, seemed to be thrown on the plate with just a few chips as a token gesture, mushy peas were also a bit dried up. Fish itself was cooked ok though. Kids burger looked even sadder, 2 bites and it was gone, also token effort with sides. Steak & Ale pie was ok but not standout, certainly didn't seem to have the home made love and could have been a supermarket offering, Tesco's would have probably been better actually. Pie only seemed half full of meat although tender. Mash was fine but veggies soggy and only luke warm. Brownie desert was a hit, very tasty. Overall I didn't feel it was good value and only average at best, you could get a lot better at many more local pubs, or go Weatherspoons for a fraction of the price. I won't be in a rush to go back, leaving 4* which I think is generous.”
