  “I have an unusual allergy which isn’t commonly understood and often leads to a lot of nervousness when dining out however, yesterday evening was a very welcome change. I booked a table very last minute but even within that time, I had my own menu with the dishes I could and couldn’t eat identified. The effort made made my evening worry free and for the first time in a long time I was able to eat my meal worry free too. And the food was incredible of course! All the staff from walking into the Wayfarer to leaving were incredibly kind, funny and helpful. I can’t wait to be back and thank you again.”

  “Went for breakfast Saturday morning, coffee and hot chocolate were ok and the server was nice and friendly. What wasn’t nice was the food. Ended up paying for the coffee and leaving the inedible food. I would name the worst item but it was all awful. Black pudding was dry and hard best described as a hockey puck, bacon was like a grey undercooked belly pork, hash brown ? It looked like a round arancini ball with what can only be described as rice/potato mush and don’t get me onto the taste. Even with poached egg on toast the bread wasn't even toasted or buttered. We ended up paying for the coffee and leaving. Honestly the worst breakfast we’ve ever had.”

  “Attended for a work meeting, and was very enjoyable especially the value for money with the 2 and 3 course specials, the garlic and cheese flat bread is something else, the staff are very pleasant and efficient”

  “Lovely pub serving food and brewing their own ale. I tried half a pale which was very refreshing. Really nice garden area.”

  “At the time of writing, Jan 26, this is fast becoming one of the stand out food & drink venues in the surrounding 10 miles. My last 3 visits in 25-26 have seen the standard of food rise from above-averagely very good to outstandingly good, and for the high quality offered, good value too. The bar offers a good selection of quality beers brewed locally (Problem Child), to some nice-to-see imports (Paulaner Lager on tap), and a cosy country pub atmosphere in which to drink them, but it's the food and therefore the kitchen especially that deserve praise for sourcong high-quality ingredients, making them into well executed dishes and presenting them beautifully and with the sort of flair that is only generally found in already lauded place. If you find yourself within 10miles, do go out of your way. If it's on your doorstep - give them your support whilst you still can- talented kitchens producing this high standard don't stick around forever”

  “Wayfarer Family Festive Meal Cosy, comfortable and charming — the Wayfarer is exactly the kind of place you want for a family festive meal. Inside feels warm and traditional, with welcoming staff who are well-trained, attentive and serve faultless food. We truly had a great time. The pub was busy and clearly popular. I love that it’s dog-friendly — the staff made a fuss of our pooch with water and treats, which he absolutely loved plus a dog-friendly section in the corner and checked on throughout. There’s something for everyone on the well-thought-out menu. I’m vegan and was really happy to have proper options and feel considered. My parents chose the turkey roast to get the festive season started, my nan had the cod, and I went for the nut roast. Each dish was beautifully presented and served hot (a big plus!). We couldn’t resist dessert either. I had the Christmas pudding with dairy-free ice cream, my mum went for the chocolate orange cheesecake, my dad had the apple and pear crumble, and my nan finished with a latte that came with a Biscoff – a lovely end to the meal. As it’s December, they also had a Christmas tipi on the grounds, and we picked up a few little souvenirs from the market there. One thing to note: online it stated there was a set festive menu at different prices depending on the day and time, but when we arrived everything was individually priced and didn’t match the offer. It wasn’t an issue for us, and we didn’t raise it as we were enjoying our meal, but it’s worth mentioning for anyone going specifically for the set menu.”

  “10/10 We came here recently for a family meal, we are a large family of over 10 people and this was not a problem at all. We all provided a pre-order, upon arrival we were greeted and seated quickly and drinks arrived shortly after. The meals for all of the family were delicious, the starters, mains and desserts were outstanding. All food arrived hot and all came out at once (which is rare for a party are large as ours). The staff were friendly and attentive, constantly checking in for drink orders and feedback. The atmosphere is also great, real wood fire lit so you get the warmth and aroma of it. Gives the place a lovely, cozy vibe. If you have a large party and need to book a meal here, I would 100% recommend this place!!”

  “Welcomed with a smile, we were directed to our table and they provided a high chair for our 8 month old baby. Staff were really attentive and friendly. Really good atmosphere for a Sunday at midday, lots of food options and 2 or 3 courses for a set price. There is a microbrewery so plenty of drinks available and the food was fantastic. Will certainly return for food and just a drink socially because it has a really good vibe.”
