  “I love the badger. Its probably a good 30mins drive but well worth it. Good food and atmosphere. Eastington village are very lucky to have such a community pub.”

  “Reasonable selection of food from their menu. The quality of food was fine and the value was on point. Service and atmosphere was great. Time from ordering, to receiving food was a bit long and there was limited parking.”

  “I used to love this pub. The positives were that the service was mostly good, our waitress was very honest and friendly. The menu had clearly labelled allergens which is also great to see. However when our toddler accidentally smashed a glass, another member of staff swore in front of our children, about having to clean it up. The food was really not great. I appreciate It’s difficult to cook thick cut chips all the way through without burning them and on this occasion, they were just raw and smelt of old oil. The steak sandwich was chewy, tasted of melted butter and was in a soggy roll. The children’s food was ok though as their meal came with fries so they were cooked through. I very much regretted choosing to eat my birthday lunch here”

  “Really good roast lunch, highly recommend. Sat out in the garden as music playing in the pub was a bit too loud for me. Tables clean and garden was tidy. Will definitely go back for another Sunday roast.”

  “The car park is small and there are no disabled bays, though the walk to the pub is not any kind of distance, it would be a problem if you need extra width to get out the vehicle. Coming through the entrance, which had one of the double doors locked which was a bit of a problem with my disability, your greeted by a cosy looking pub that is a bit gloomy but your eyes soon adjust. The room is in a horseshoe shape with the bar opposite the door and seating extended to the left and right with spurs coming off each side. The staff were very friendly and cheerful with a good standard of banter. We were given the right amount of time to settle before someone came and took our drinks order. These were brought to us quickly and we then ordered mains. Again, there was no long wait. I had the 3 meat Sunday roast with pigs in blankets as a side. Not the cheapest at £23. When it arrived, I was very pleasantly surprised. The portion was huge, much better than any pub I think I have ever been to. Lots of green veg, carrots, parsnips and 3 roasties. I was expecting 2 or 3 pigs and was astonished to get 6!!. The pigs were divine as was the veggies. The slow cooked belly pork was melt in your mouth tender, but no crackling. The chicken was slightly overdone so, whilst it was moist, it was a bit tough. The beef was the let down, a bit tough and chewy, not the way I like my meat, but each to their own. The stuffing again was exquisite. One little moan, needed a bit more gravy or your own gravy boat, maybe. Onto the pudding. Brownie sundae. Too much cream, not enough ice cream and the brownie was dry, almost as if it was leftover brownie from previous days, not saying it was, but that's what it tasted like. Saying that, I did like it, but it could have been better. Once again in summary, the staff were brilliant, the food was excellent but needed, in my humble opinion, a tweak or two and not the cheapest but more than worth it. The family all loved there food as well. We will definitely be going again and again and again......you get it. Thank you Badger.”

  “Lovely food, great atmosphere ,staff welcoming and helpful, dog friendly , only loses a star as most the tables are really tiny if you have a party of 4 seated , appreciate the space constrictions but its a bit uncomfortable. Limited amount of parking too. ( parked in nearby road instead)”

  “Good local pub serving decent food for a decent price. Soup (excellent), and Whitebait starters. Venison shepherds pie, was nice enough but not much veg to accompany it. Shared Bread and Butter pudding with custard for dessert. We were staying in the Lazy Goose and qualified for a discount.”

  “We were visiting our dear friends who live nearby. What a fun pub! Every beer and cider we had were delicious, service was spot on, and the wings and fries we had were delicious. Wings were perfectly cooked with the right amount of Sriracha sauce on them (not too much, not too little) and the fries (chips) we're piping hot as they should always be. Well done!”

  “Weekday lunchtime isn't going to be the best atmosphere in a country pub but it was a pleasant space for a joint birthday lunch. Service was good the menu could have been any pub's and the Specials Board had only two options. Both quite similar to things already on the normal menu. The food was okay, very similar to a pub we lunched in last week only rather more expensive.”
