  “Shame such a lovely pub and decor. Not sure when they got the rosettes. 3 meals came out after first person had finished theirs. Not sure why they would choose Pollock as their white fish, not very premium and a lot of batter, albeit light batter. The burger was nice but not a traditional smash burger. The pizzas had a great flavour when they arrived but soggy and doughy. The waitress comped the pizza which was a nice gesture ..... but we would have preferred a nice meal. Such a shame as a very lovely venue and you can see what they are trying to do with the menu but lacked the finesse and skills to pull it off.”

  “Called in for a steak. Was seated straight away. Service and drinks were extremely good. However, the steak (albeit perfectly cooked) was extremely salty.”

  “So I just left The Acton at Moreville. I am slightly buzzed by a couple of excellently prepared French Martinis. I love this place it is unexpectedly located in the middle of the English countryside. It is lovely the atmosphere was sweet casual not rowdy beautiful food and a very upscale menu. Henry who was the front of house manager was welcoming, personable and extremely knowledgeable of the menu and food preparation. He was extremely adept at helping to navigate the menu to find the meal that truly satisfied my appetite. The service was also extremely polite and easy.. It is a lovely place note I did not get into the details of the menu just to say everything we had .was all extremely delicious.”

  “Group of us went for a meal but every dish had an issue. Not sure if it has changed hands since getting the AA rosettes but def not the standard to achieve that. Textbook errors, like it was cooked by a very junior chef with no experience.”

  “Birthday lunch today, based on several recommendations. What a disappointment. Friendly but inefficient service (forgot to advise what was off menu until we ordered + gave misinformation about a dish, despite length discussions about the options earlier), plus never asked for drinks reorder (in 2.5 hours), a flat white ordered turned up as a black americano with milk on the side) but the food was a huge let down. Risotto? Overcooked, mushy and broken rice, Sausage roll? Dry and tough. Pizza? Taken from the oven next to us >10 mins before it was served (assuming it went under heat lamps in kitchen), meaning it was barely warm but dried out. Lamb sauce? Dominated by marmite. Chips? good but the burger was terrible. Not a smash burger, by any description, and it was dry and overcooked. Hollandaise sauce with vegetable sides? Runny, not emulsified + with tarragon, so that's a bernaise, not hollandaise. Pudding was a hugely uncooked rice pudding with crunchy rice (inedible) and overly sweet mango topping. No hint of coconut or lemongrass. A literal comedy of errors at every turn. We won't be back, sadly.”

  “Just called in on Tuesday evening driving past, very friendly service, 3 of us had 2 and 3 course menu, which they said they all enjoyed, I went with the “lunch” menu had croquettes and sirloin. Food was really good for the price and drinks are reasonably priced. My steak was cooked beautifully and had a delicious chimichurri sauce. I don’t understand the 1 star weirdo reviews, perhaps they don’t get out much, it’s a 4.5 I would say, but will give 5 to counteract the naysayers, very good, will be back! Thank you!!”

  “We had an amazing dinner at The Acton, having just found it by chance, due to its roadside location. The food tasted like they have been cooked with care and sophistication, really satisfying to try the ‘Char Sui’ made with monkfish, followed by a set of very impressive main courses, from Chicken, Pork to Pizza - came out of their authentic Pizza Oven! We will definitely be back to try out their tasting menu - hope for another exceptional experience!”

  “Yeah we loved it here! Booked for Sunday service and we were not disappointed. Great selection on the Sunday menu - 2 courses £27 / 3 courses £32. Food itself was very nice, no complaints at all. Staff have everything covered here, very slick and work really well together. The Maître D' last Sunday (19 April 2026 at 2:00 PM was nothing short of superb). He overlooked the restaurant very well. Top stuff everyone. We'll be back for sure. PCB 🤌🏻”

  “Visited here for the first time yesterday and was impressed how beautiful it looked inside! I was super happy they had availability too as we hadn't reserved as we were just passing by. I decided to go for the 2 courses for £27 - I had the duo of meats (I choose the pork loin & sirloin beef) and lemon tart with raspberry sorbet. The main meal was utterly delicious - the meat was tender, the vegetables were fresh, the potatoes were the perfect crispiness and everything on the plate was full of flavour. It was all cooked to perfection. The dessert was just as delicious - the lemon was just the right amount of tangy and the pastry was buttery. The sorbet was also very nice. Service was fantastic - everyone was friendly, efficient and welcoming. Will definitely be visiting again!”

  “We've driven past many times but never actually been in. Three of us tried Sunday lunch. The restaurant has been totally refurbished, paired down but tastefully done. Not an extensive menu which is a positive. Starters excellent and the main was lovely, beef and pork loin served with a nice selection of vegetables. We ordered some extra but they really weren't needed. If you're looking for somewhere different with pleasant surroundings and good food try here. Would we come again? Yes of course.”
