  “We had booked the conservatory room for a private party for a 60th wedding anniversary, We had arrived early to begin setting up decorations and we were disgusted to see every table and all the window ledges were filthy. After letting one of the bar staff on duty aware of the situation we were handed a spray bottle and blue roll to clean the tables ourselves. After finally getting the room to a presentable state throughout the night the service never improved as it was near impossible to get served for a drink as half the bar staff clearly couldn’t be bothered and decided to stand at the end of the bar chatting the entire evening, we had to unwrap all the buffet food ourselves and clear empty glasses and rubbish at end of night with no help. No complaints were made on the night as we didn’t want to spoil the celebration in any way but it’s such a shame as pub inside is lovely but would benefit a lot more with more experienced and hard working staff.”

  “I had a really good experience at this pub. I enjoyed the food and I appreciated the presentation of it, it also came out quite quickly. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, making it a great place to enjoy a meal and a few drinks. The customer service was great too, staff were welcoming and made my experience feel calm . I’d definitely recommend it and would happily go back.”

  “The RUDEST bar staff I’ve ever come across £15 for a Sunday dinner with frozen veg and packet sliced meat I wouldn’t of fed to my dog. Live music started 40 mins early screeching through the bar supposed to a family friendly establishment The place has just gone entirely down hill Might I add the manager was on the bar when being spoken to like rubbish !”

  “Fantastic dog-friendly pub with a warm, relaxed atmosphere. The staff were incredibly welcoming to both us and our puppy. The food was excellent — generous portions and plenty of choice on the menu. Friendly service, great food and a nice seperate pet friendly area— we’ll definitely be back.”

  “First time visiting The Poachers Cottage, and it was much busier than I expected. The venue isn't very large, and most of the tables were reserved, but it does have a beer garden and a conservatory available for private hire. We ordered using the QR code system, which was quick and easy. There was no need to queue at the bar, and our drinks arrived promptly. The food followed shortly after, arriving hot and freshly cooked. We ordered burgers and the rib and chicken platter. All of the fried items were crispy, while the meat remained juicy and tender – much better than I expected. The only disappointment was that all of the steaks had sold out. They must be very popular, so we'll definitely have to come back and try one another time. We also used the 40% off mains discount code, which made this visit excellent value for money. Although there didn't seem to be many staff on duty, everyone was working hard and doing their best to provide good service despite how busy it was. There's also plenty of parking available, which is always a bonus. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return again.”

  “We've just celebrated my sons 13th birthday at The Poachers Cottage. The service was quick and accurate, which was very impressive with such a large order. The staff were wonderful and the food was hot and delicious. We booked a table for 14 people. We were seated in the conservatory, which was ideal for both our party and others as we were quite noisy with the excitement of family and young children catching up. Hopefully we didn't disturb other parties. We've recently been on a separate occasion in a smaller party for Sunday dinner, which was also very delicious. Thanks again for a great dining experience. We'll be back again very soon!”

  “We had the best day/night at their Callerton Country Club event last night. Ray & Laura went full out to make it such a great day. Music, food, line dancing. Photo props. The best pub with the best staff. Can’t wait for the next one! Well done everyone 🤠”

  “We were a party of 13 and we were all very happy with the food! It was absolutely delicious and the service was fast and friendly! The atmosphere was great, with a live singer who was really good! Price was for 3 courses plus drinks, so I would say pretty reasonable! I would definitely recommend this place!”

  “Been coming here for a long time, food is very reasonably priced, also has a lot of choice on the menu no matter what food requirements you have. Lots of seating area indoor and outdoor, part of it is now dog friendly which is fantastic considering the amount of dog lovers/dog walkers that are local (still large eating area that is non dog friendly - so it suits everyone and no one can complain) place is always very clean, staff are absolutely lovely, great to chat too and always there if you need anything - very accommodating, you really couldn’t get a better team of staff. Food decent quality, large portions so it’s great value for money. Tried a good few items on the menu, would recommend, loaded fries, burgers and chips, as well as the Sunday dinner as favourites. Also the cost of a pint is fair, which is hard to find nowaday as most places charge an arm and a leg. Have entertainment on most weekends, great turn out each time and a buzzing atmosphere. Wide variety of some great entertainment (buskers night, karaoke night, quiz night, other bands etc) would absolutely recommend here, and we will absolutely be back again!”
