It was so good to go to The Parson Woodforde again today now that Allyson & Steve are at the helm. Such a lovely pub, recently re-opened and well worth a visit. Lunch was absolutely superb, the liver and bacon was to die for. Having eaten at Drayton Old Lodge on many occasions we were thrilled to hear that this amazing couple had taken over this pub and have given us a reliable meeting place to catch up with friends. I might add we have to travel an hour and a half to get there but so worth it. When the opportunity arises we will certainly take advantage of the lovely accommodation and then can enjoy the full monty - breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner!! A lovely welcome, especially for our lab, Harvey, (allowed in the bar area) who enjoyed the experience as much as we did.
Thanks to Allyson and her staff for such a lovely lunchtime, we will be back! Especially as my favourite Shiraz was remembered and produced on my arrival - how good is that! Wishing you all the very best in your new venture.
Friday night and we wanted to go out somewhere different. And we were not disappointed!
We had booked a table and were in the main bar area so great for people watching and conversation. No background music. Hurrah! Great choice of beers.
Our food was excellent. Supreme of chicken, and pan fried hake. We both cleared out plates. For dessert it had to be sticky toffee pudding and creme brulee and again we polished them off. The staff were young and very attentive. Clearly well trained.
Was also good to see thst dogs appear to be welcome, as we are always looking for dog friendly places.
Will we be back? Yes. And we will.be recommending to friends too.
We called in for lunch today with our 3 children
Really nice place with great friendly staff, the food was excellent and the right portions for our kids
Wild eye beer from the Buxton micro brewery was also very good
We will be returning top marks
