Delicious meal. I had lamb and the steak pie and noodle dish were all great.

You should be able to expect a good standard of service wherever you go but they real measure of service excellence is how well a business copes when something has gone wrong and the manner in which they recover. Due to circumstances completely beyond the control of the management my friends and I arrived and a Wednesday lunchtime expecting to find a lunchtime menu with limited service outside because of the pandemic. Upon arrival I was greeted by a nice gentleman who turned out to be the manager who asked what he could get me. I ordered a pint of Guinness and asked for the menus. He informed me that they don't do food on Wednesdays. I explained that my friends and I had travelled some considerable distance and had expected to find a limited menu on offer. The manager made a prompt and heartfelt apology for the misunderstanding and assured me that we would be offered a choice of burgers or a homemade chilli con carne although it might take a little while as he would have to open up the kitchen. The service was excellent the food was delicious and very good value. We all left very satisfied with what turned out to be a very pleasant, if slightly damp, experience. It isn't often we are in the area but I can guarantee that we will be returning again in the future Update Came back again and this place gets better and better. A detail often overlooked is the condition of the toilets. At the Frog and Bucket they are immaculate, I have attached pictures. Totally outstanding place. Michael
