Went for Sunday dinner and quiz. The food was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were just right. On top of that the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere and decor of th pub were lovely. We had a brilliant time, I can’t rate this place highly enough!
Outstanding. First time visiting this afternoon since it's been taken over, I came with the family for a Sunday roast dinner and from start to finish everything was amazing. From the enthusiastic, friendly, fast and efficient staff who couldn't do enough for us and made our visit just really enjoyable to the absolutely gorgeous roast dinner, the nicest I've had in a long time actually! The chef, Matt, even came out to greet us after we all expressed to the waiting on staff how impressed we were. He told us a little about his background and how he took over The Kicking Donkey 9 months ago and was just a really lovely guy. We just decided to try The kicking Donkey for a change and we are so glad we did. We have already booked in again for next week. Thank you so much to all of you, excellent service and food and wine :)
Popped in today for impromptu lunch. Fabulous friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere (we had 3 dogs!) And tremendous food. Aside from knowing we shall return, am very happy to recommend it to anyone who appreciates freshly cooked food. Five stars all the way.
Great place and lovely atmosphere - hot pot was so good and the chocolate torte,washed down with a nice pint...next on the cards is the st paddys cocktail �
Dined here last night and I certainly wasn't disappointed.
The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks on offer.
The service was excellent and the food was first class.
Will certainly be making a return visit very soon. Highly recommend
This was our second visit back since the refurb and it did not disappoint ! Went with the family for my birthday meal every single plate was completely empty! Staff were brilliant and the food was amazing, lovely relaxing atmosphere.....can't wait to go back again !
Lovely lunch today after its recent reopening.
Staff were really knowledgeable about their wines/ gins they were selling and service was fabulous. Looking forward to the extended hot food menu coming. Good luck guys, fab place and wish you the best of luck
We eat out a lot and always looking for new places locally. This is a hidden little gem. We have been twice now with in laws and children and thoroughly enjoyed the food, ambience and the service on both occasions. The hotpot was absolutely stunning. It’s rare for me to give 5 stars but if I could, then I would give it 6 👍
Absolutely lovely pub!! Kind and friendly staff. Lovely little beer garden. Such a warm friendly atmosphere!! Can't wait to try the food menu!
Food getting even better, lovely welcoming atmosphere, interesting wine list and a pint of Lancaster Blonde always a winner.
Lovely place to go for something to eat.
We went for a late afternoon Sunday dinner I had black pudding starter which consisted of two thick slices cooked in a thin and crispy batter served with salad this was followed by a pork and Turkey roast this was plentiful, hot and tasty.
The Staff were very helpful, polite and friendly nothing was too much trouble for them. My partner had an issue with her meal which was dealt with swiftly and efficiently.
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff accommodated 15 of us including children from 2 to 10 years of age.
Food was plentiful and very tasty. The pub was pleasantly busy inside and out but not in the least bit noisy. With a good beer garden and sufficient parking.
All in all a very pleasant visit. Highly recommended
Absolutely amazing food. One of the best steaks I have ever had and the chips were equally amazing. The lady serving us was really attentive and had a great Manor. The place is full of history and is a place I will be going back to more often. Thanks for a great time !!!!!
Fabulous family owned pub. We stumbled across it one summer evening, and had very tasty home cooked meals that were superb value. All staff were a credit to the business as they were very pleasant and attentive despite them having to work twice as hard with everyone eating and drinking outside.
We will certainly be going back.
We went as a last minute table of 10. They managed to fit us in plus the dog.
The food was great! They are big portions too. Will be returning. Nice selection of drinks and very friendly staff.
Wonderful food grate staff brilliant atmosphere and very friendly people. Can't wait to visit again.
Lovely meal yet again today - thank you. 3 courses each and plenty to drink as a celebration but you can eat here very reasonably too! Loved the new sundae combination.
A lovely country pub with great food. The staff are really friendly and attentive, I would definitely recommend a visit.
Lovely pub with lovely staff very hard working ethic .Never too busy to ask if everything is OK with meals .My wife and I have decided that it's the best place for food and drinks and compliments to chefs and staff for making every visit a good one .very friendly people aswell thankyou to all
We used to be regulars here until Andy and Sandra moved on.. tried it when it changed hands but weren't particularly enamoured... tried again a week ago, and definitely going to be regulars again!! Delicious home made food, beautifully presented and reasonably priced, and lovely service! Now top of our list!! ( after the Fishermans Rest)..
