This is a lovely Pub/restaurant.
The decor is nice, the staff are very friendly and helpful.
The food is very good for the price.
I had the large cod with chips and peas and my partner had the waffle Chicken.
Both of us tried each others and neither of us had any complaints.
The chicken was tender and moist, the fish was nicely cooked in a light crispy batter.
My partner had a desert, (Caramac apple crumble) which she said was very good.
Drinks are reasonably priced.
Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
We will be back to try the Sunday lunch, and I'm sure we will have a few more meals at lunch and in the evenings.
Second time I've been here....last time was over 4 years ago ....still a good place for food! Nice menu ... especially if you're a fan of fish. Good service, decent prices and a nice garden for summer days out back.
Since the remodelling from a pub into a restaurant and chip shop, I have been to The Thorn Tree a number of times. The service is always good, even when the place is packed. The food is well cooked, and nicely presented. Prices are very reasonable, and the menu has a good variety.
Over the course of several years I have found the food to be consistently good. I tend towards fish and chips, and whilst many people think this is a simple dish, it is quite difficult to find places that serve really good fish and chips. Many is the time that I have had fish in other restaurants or from chip shops, only to find everything swimming in a puddle of oil. To date, I have never had this happen when eating at The Thorn Tree. The fish has always come to the table piping hot, with light and fluffy fish-meat, and either a crisp batter, or a nice golden brown breadcrumb coating.
There is plenty of comfortable seating inside, with prompt and polite table service. There is also seating outside, for when the weather is agreeable. There is a raised, decked area just outside the restaurant for eating, and also a garden with benches that are great for sitting and having a casual drink with family or friends.
I really enjoy eating here, and will continue to bring my family here for treats, and special occasions.
