  “We had never been here before , decided to visit at lunchtime as my sister and hubby were passing close by and taking Mum back down south. We were given a lovely welcome by the lady behind the bar. The lunchtime menu was good and the food that we ate was top quality. Great family pub. Thankyou.”

  “I really enjoyed my Shepherd's Pie and being home-baked, it was appetising, tasty and good value for money. The Festival is a wonderfully friendly pub and helps preserve the social health of the local community.”

  “Haven't been here for a long time, but had a father's day meal here with family and everyone really enjoyed it. Didn't wait long for the food and it was good portions for the price. The ladies that served us were very friendly and polite. It was quiet but we went late afternoon and it was boiling outside so I think we were the mad ones 😆. Will definitely come back, I like the look of the lunch offer”

  “Amazing little gem in Cov! We had a lovely dinner and ordered 2 pies freshly made, specifically: Chicken, smoked bakon and leek pie; Portabello mushroom, white wine & tarragon pie which we chose to be vegetarian. They were accompained with chunky chips and mushy peas. All was fantastic and rather quick! Dessert was also lovely, during a chilly evening the warm dessert just made it! In the pic you can see a chock fudge cake served with custard and a sticky toffe pud with cream. Service was quick and kind, with a good taste in music. Amazing place to spend a relaxing dinner.”

  “The food was piping hot and delicious. We got the goujons and mushrooms to start then rump steak (medium) - great deal 2 for £15 on the steak on a Wednesday. Staff also let us mix and match with the gammon. Wasn’t busy at all and the staff were very friendly. Would recommend.”

  “Chose a dish off the specials board today - Burmese fried chicken with chilli, honey and soy sauce, rice and pickled cabbage. It was absolutely gorgeous. We eat at The Festival several times a month and have enjoyed every meal we've had here. Tasty food, excellent value for money and friendly staff.”
