Customer Review Summary
Steak comes up as the standout order, with reviewers describing it as juicy, cooked to perfection, and served with a proper steak knife. Breakfast is also a repeated favorite, with hot, generous all day breakfast plates and kids' pancakes with fruit and syrup drawing praise, and the Mac and cheese and fish and chips get individual recommendations. Staff are consistently described as friendly, polite, and attentive, with several reviewers highlighting quick service via app ordering and room for pushchairs. Families note the attached play area and spacious seating as a draw for kids. A recurring, smaller complaint concerns overcooked meat and fish, with a few reviewers noting dry steak or overcooked salmon and sweet potato fries. One reviewer reports finding hair in their Mac and cheese, though they still called the service lovely and the Greek salad good. Regulars mention returning specifically for the family-friendly atmosphere and consistently pleasant service from the same staff members they recognize on repeat visits.

“Amazing steak, wonderful staff, and super kid-friendly! Our visit to Hungry Horse was absolutely fantastic! My steak was amazingly juicy and packed with flavour. Plus, being served with a proper steak knife was a great touch that made dining so much easier—you can really tell they pay attention to detail. The whole plate was worth every single penny. The food was presented so professionally, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making us feel completely looked after. As a parent, the biggest win was how great they were with the kids' food. My daughter, who is usually a very fussy eater, happily polished off her entire plate! That's the ultimate recommendation for me. We will definitely be back!”

“A spacious, well set up pub with plenty of seating options. Service was excellent - especially from Luke, who couldn’t do more for us. Food was good pub grub standard and starters, sides and desserts were tasty. Meat/fish however were slightly dry/overcooked - not enough to be an issue but just an observation x”

“Quiet for a Saturday lunch time. It's been a while since we have been here as our last few experiences left a lot to be desired, however, not so today. We ordered via the app at the table and within minutes our drinks were delivered to our table. A very short time after our food was brought, lovely and hot and well cooked. No complaints from us. The serving staff were lovely too. Overall a pleasant experience.”
