  “Very welcoming...we required room for wheelchair and staff quickly moved chairs to accommodate us. Lovely food...great range of beer. Great to see a busy pub on a Tuesday lunchtime. Will definitely call again”

  “We had a wonderful dinner at The Dambusters Inn. It came highly recommended by numerous guests at the cottage we were staying in locally so we tired it out! Everything was delicious. Food cooked to perfection. Service was attentive, friendly and efficient. The young ladies who served us are a credit to the establishment! Atmosphere was delightful! We would highly recommend a visit here!”

  “Went here for an evening meal. Food was great- I had the chicken strips and onion rings. Chicken stripes were delicious, especially the veg- the broccoli and cauliflower were so succulent! If visiting, I would absolutely recommend the onion rings- they were perfect! For dessert, I had a very yummy pecan pie; treacly and delicious 😋 . The service was quick and lovely. Only complaint is the toilets. The corridor to the toilets is very creepy and stinks like wee! The toilets themselves are alright, yet are far below the cozy and super atmosphere in the rest of the pub. Plus, the decorations in the ladies seem to me to have a sexist undertone- instead of celebrating female flying achievements as the rest of the decorations do throughout the pub for men, they condone a very vintage view of femininity. Not cool. All in all, would definitely recommend a visit for some good food and good drink, especially if one is a fan of aviation/ World War Two/ RAF history.”

  “After two visits we were not impressed generally with food. For a setting for four people we experienced average to poor portions of meat, prawns and quality salad. Bar service was slow yet the waitresses were efficient and polite. Is this pub living on its 'museum' value more than the quality of its food?”

  “The Dambusters Inn is a lovely pub and the display of original Lancaster bomber objects is absolutely stunning. The display alone makes the trip worth while.”

  “We were bowled over by all the brilliantly curated and displayed Dambusters memorabilia and the Dams Raid atmosphere. We were amazed to see photos of all the Dams Raid aircrew together with their replica medals and the poppies which commemorate every one who died. A privilege and inspiration, especially in Scampton village where the pub attracts interested regulars delighted to explain exhibits to us. A lovely supper too though the table service was rather slow. The building was the local post office until the 1970s.”

  “Excellent cosy village pub in Scampton with multiple choice of rooms. Only 3 parking spaces in front of the pub so have to park on the roads in the village. The menu is full of good choices and everything we have eaten has been very good. The pub is absolutely full of interesting artifacts and memorabilia. You just want to walk around and read everything on the walls ! Booking early is necessary 🙂”

  “The Dambusters Inn, a fantastic themed pub in the village of Scampton. The pub was established in 1999 by Mike and Amanda Knight. The pub was filled throughout with Mikes personal collection but which was later removed on his Retirement. You have a wide range of different real Ale’s here to beers and many other drinks, which are always served with a smile by the fantastic bar staff on board. The food is absolutely phenomenal 👌🏻 the owner Greg Algar is doing an outstanding job so thank you Sir. Very friendly as far as it goes for the people who come to the pub. Also dog friendly which is lovely to see. Will definitely be coming here again soon.”
