We have not visited The Eclipse since pre COVID days.
It's a super pub , with a great atmosphere, nice to be able to relax and enjoy a few drinks and eat some very good food.
Not very busy when we arrived for lunch, but gradually got busier.
The Staff were very good.
Quick service, hardly any time to wait for our food.
It had been many years since we visited The Eclipse as it is always so crowded but today it was empty when we arrived. The decor and atmosphere, including the ghost, is great. The barmaids were welcoming, friendly, and chatty. We liked the 60s music playing. When it finally arrived, after a 45-minute wait, the food (one burger, one sausage and mash) was delicious. That is why I knocked off a star: the menu warned if you ordered a meat pie, there would be a 25-minute wait but failed to say: 'if you order anything else, it will take twice as long'. A couple who arrived after us received their food before we did. At one point, I saw the chef pop out for a ciggie so maybe that was part of the delay.
My friend is profoundly deaf and wears hearing aids, so when I asked about background music (makes hearing harder) the manageress immediately offered us a room upstairs which is usually just for functions and we enjoyed a great meal and wonderful service. Would definitely go again
