  “Ramblers Rest is in a nice location with good parking facilities available. The inside restaurant has a cosy atmosphere. On this occasion we sat outside. Unfortunately, the outside seating area is very overcrowded. There is hardly any space between tables and it felt quite oppressive, especially on a very warm day. The food itself was OK. I've had better from other restaurants within the chain. I had the duo of pork, very well presented, but a little tough. The broccoli, in my opinion, was under-done. On this day the service was very slow, but we were not in a rush, so that wasn't a bother. The staff were rushed off their feet and in the heat it must have been a tough day for them. They were all very helpful and polite. It just might have been an off day as far as my meal was concerned, so may well be worth another visit.”

  “A lovely spot, tasty food, with a well priced lunch menu. Staff were all lovely, especially Sophie who went out of her way to look after us in this blistering sunshine! See photos as all the outdoor seating was shaded and made for a very pleasant lunch spot!”

  “Very nice country style pub without being in the middle of the country. Not the cheapest place but you get what you pay for. Nice settings, quality drinks. Families and dogs are welcome there, even got dog treats on the menu.”

  “Enjoyed a very nice meal with my wife and daughter. Genuinely one of the nicest for a long time. The pizzette, camembert, kamp, pork, mac an cheese, creme brulee and crumbles were all excellent.”

  “We came during lunch time and had a lovely meal. We started with the mushrooms and halloumi, both were great but I would really recommend the mushrooms! We then had a special which was a sharing steak. This was cooked perfectly and the meat was delicious, our chefs for lunch were Nash and Harry. Our server was Charlie who was really friendly and checked in with us with how are food was. We had a great time.”

  “I returned to this pub after two years, hoping the service had improved to match the food. Unfortunately, it has declined. Despite booking for a guest with a disability, we were seated in a high-traffic area by the garden door which we had to constantly get up and close. A sign for servers and guests in the garden to close the blasted door is advisable. The hygiene was unacceptable, we had to clean our own cutlery and one of the chairs was filthy. To top it off, we were served tap water when we specifically ordered still water. For a £200 bill for 3 people with no alcohol, the cramped facilities and poor service make this impossible to recommend. I won't be returning.”

  “As my family are always on the lookout for a decent breakfast, we thought we would try the Ramblers Rest as they recently introduced a breakfast. Headed there on a Sunday morning for 9:30 and were the only ones there throughout! Not great for atmosphere but the food was brilliant. The large full English is substantial and extremely tasty at £14. The standard is £10. Both good prices in my view. The dishes boasted lovely sausages, amazing hash browns (the best I have had) and nice additional usuals such as bacon, toast, beans, black pudding, eggs and mushrooms. The mushrooms were a mixed mushroom medley which was a nice touch. My kids had scrambled egg on toast and the mini breakfast. Both really enjoyed them although the scrambled egg was quite peppery and a more grown up taste than my four year old is used to. My eldest demolished most of hers. With drinks, all in, we looked at about £50 which was excellent for the quality of the food. Our server explained that the breakfasts were not going too well and that not many people were taking them up. I would urge any breakfast lovers in the area to get themselves down to the Ramblers Rest to keep this offering alive. We will be back - and with reinforcements!!”

  “Visited the Ramblers Rest pub for Father’s Day and had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome. It’s also a dog-friendly pub, which was a huge plus as we brought our dog along and she was made to feel just as welcome! For food, I had the king prawns to start, the beef roast for my main, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert, every single dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to!”
