  “Popped in for the first time this evening as a little bank holiday treat. Delicious food and great service. Had an espresso creme bruleè that was the best restaurant dessert I have had in years! Highly recommended.”

  “Went here recently with my boyfriend and dog. They have a seating area indoors you can have food with a dog separate to the main seating area but still full enough that you're part of the restaurant. The staff got the dog a water bowl and were good with him. The food was great, we had a roast it was tasty and pudding was good too.”

  “I had special friends visiting the area & wanted a good food pub to meet up with them & also doggy friendly. This pub has undergone great renovation since I used to live nearby, so it was a delight to spot it on the Internet as a suitable meeting point for our gathering. Lovely outside areas - grassy with bench tables, an outside "room" due to surrounding hedging next to the pub & a covered terrace too. Inside is very tastefully renovated. Then the food ... well that was absolutely stunning, we had 4 different dishes of mains and 2 options of desserts. All were equally beautifully presented & tasted divine. One of our party has been a Chef himself for nearly 40 yrs and if a visiting Chef is very happy with presentation & taste, then that must be 100% perfect. Thank you Piltdown Man Chefs! The Front of House staff were also lovely and very accommodating with the dogs who accompanied us. They checked on us regularly and service was faultless. I live 45mins away from here now but we will definitely be back, this was a 5* pub experience.”

  “First visit to the Piltdown Man. The food was excellent. Well cooked and presented. The service was also brilliant; nothing was too much trouble. I also really liked the openness of the restaurant area and the pub in general. Plenty of room between tables. Probably great for family celebrations. I/we’ll be back.”

  “We were here having dinner on a Tuesday night. The pub / restaurant was quite busy. We had Salmon on Ratatouille and slow cooked leg of lamb. The presentation was excellent and the dishes were very delicious. The service is very attentive, efficient, friendly and helpful. My dietary requirements were handled perfectly. The pub / restaurant is nicely decorated. A permanent ramp is installed to reach the restaurant part and toilets by wheelchair. The inclusive toilet is well equipped with grab rails and large enough for wheelchairs.”

  “My friend and I had the butternut squash Sunday roast. It was nice, the large Yorkshire pudding is impressive. I initially ordered the stuffed aubergine but the skin was inedible and the stuffing completely tasteless. The sauce was very tasty but I returned the meal after trying a mouthful of each. I feel It is overpriced at £16.95. This is the first and only time I have ever returned a meal in any restaurant. I chose to have the vegetarian roast instead. The waiter was polite and the meal was exchanged with a minimum of fuss. There is plenty of parking and a children's playground.”

  “The restaurant is conveniently situated along the main road and offers ample parking facilities, along with a playground for added convenience. It features a warm and inviting atmosphere with generous seating capacity. The dishes are meticulously prepared and presented, all at competitive prices. The staff are friendly, attentive, and contribute to the efficient service. It is highly recommended to reserve a table in advance through Google, particularly during peak hours.”

  “After the pub being closed for so long it is so lovely to see it back open under new management. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were so friendly and attentive. The pub has been redecorated beautifully with a traditional gastro pub feel to it, also plenty of space for outdoor drinking and dining, and space for kids to play.”

  “Went along for the first day opening. Very friendly, lovely decor inside but outside definitely rushed. We ordered 3 starters to share which were delicious. Calamari nice and tender as was the slices of beef on the bruschetta. Looking forward to going back!”
