"Visited today intending to have lunch. It wasn’t initially very busy. Twice we asked a waitress if we could order food. The first time we were told she would get our drinks then return to take our food order. When the drinks arrived we again asked if we could place our order. She said she would go get a note pad pen. She didn’t return. Soon after that a large group of walkers arrived. Most went into the pub to get drinks before sitting down outside. Very soon a waitress appeared proceeded to take their food orders. Seeing this we decided not to order food as we would have a very long time to wait while their food was prepared! We often have lunch here after a dog walk have always found it very friendly were intending to return next week for lunch with a friend but are now going to try to find an alternative venue. Shame!"

"Booked in advance for a meal for three on a Friday evening. The pub was absolutely rammed. Noisy and lots of people standing around hoping for a table. So the pub must be doing something right unless it is the case it is one of the only pubs nearby. The staff were seriously working hard and I was unsure there were enough staff to cover tables. Considering we were told we had to vacate our dinner table after two ours, our starters didn't arrive for 30 minutes. It was unfortunate that there were was a loud (I mean loud) party of people standing at the bar near our table and they were quite simply shouting. Shouting so loudly, I heard everything including the expletives which wasn't ideal for my daughter. I wondered if the staff would ask them to move out of the bar area as clearly there are diners. I wish we had been placed in the dining room at the back which appeared to be quieter. The food was good. Portion sizes ample and they accommodated my request to have dairy-free chips and not in the beef dripping. Good value for money. It was just a shame that there doesn't appear to be enough staff. Long waits between courses and I had to beckon over a waitress to order drinks twice. All staff friendly and polite but just looked completely over-run with punters and diners at the same time. Pub is in a beautiful village and clearly very popular."

"This is a lovely pub situated conveniently near Amberley train station. They offer three real ales. Although we didn't sample the food, we enjoyed a visit on a Sunday afternoon when there was a live music duo performing. The pub also features a beer garden, perfect for the warmer months."

"My bloke and I called here for a takeaway coffee on our way home to Livingston after a long drive. We'd tried another café (our usual go-to) but they were closed. Not only were the 2 lady staff in the Old Bank pleasant and friendly, especially as we'd arrived just before 5pm and they were about to close, but we were given 2 cups of great quality latte and not charged at all!! THIS will be our go-to from now on"

"*Updated review* The last time I visited I didn’t have a great experience and as such left a poor and honest review. However I had heard good things from friends so I gave it a second try 10 months on. So fair is fair, it is only right I update my review. This time the food was nicely presented and very good. (Almost night and day from my last visit). The burger came with a nice side salad and fries. The fish and chips came with home made Chucky chips and generous portions. Based on my last visit I would recommend this place. Original review Bit of a disaster tonight. Came for a family meal and chose from the specials board. It was initially served with wraps until I pointed out it was advertised with rice. When the rice did come it was awful… and I mean inedible. It was more like mashed potato. My order was then kindly changed to a cheese burger and fries. The chips were not cooked through and raw and the bun was solid (as if it hadn’t quite been defrosted properly) I am surprised as I saw other burgers coming out of the kitchen with side salads and all nicely presented. Can only think that the kitchen was overstretched… on a positive the servers were very attentive and polite."

"we visited on 23rd april (st georges day) for lunch with my brother and his wife, he had suggested the place when he lived down the street and visited numerous. they have to turn off the a36 direction salisbury and it has been located next to the remains of the old road. we took up a position in the garden while we waited for the venues to open and on 12pm we were warmly welcomed and offered every seat we want, so my brother chose the winter garden, the beautiful view of the white bird lake. we had drink orders (no coke zero or pepsi max! and then we gave out orders. as always, dear readers, I went with scampi and chips, I was a little surprised not to see a steak-based meal, be it bark meat or gammon. the grinding times were after approx. 15-20 minutes presented, all freshly prepared, the peasant came in a separate dish with butter and mint, which was delicious. the chips were prepared to house, the skin up and well boiled, the scampi was slightly overboiled to the point that a row of them had hard crusts and split outers, but soaking into vinegar sorted out. I am not 100% convinced that they were all of the same cylindrical shape. Overall it was a good food, and if I visited my brother again, I would be inclined to visit again."

"Cousin Ken and I had another great Sunday lunch here yesterday! A varied range of starters I enjoyed the calamari main courses Ken liked the linguine, while, being Sunday, I went for the outstanding roast beef, which was a really generous helping, all the vegetables were cooked, and the gravy rich and tasty! We both enjoyed the warm apple pie with ice cream, but could eat no more! The service was brisk, though never rushed, and we both very much enjoyed our server, Amy's cheerful and friendly manner and banter! Three courses a drink worked out at around £25 a head, which, I think, represents good value, taking everything into consideration. God willing, we'll continue to enjoy more Sunday lunches here from time to time!"

"Came today with my 3 and 1 year old and their grandma for lunch before we went to Kinderhub next door. I always feel anxious about taking them out in case of tantrums etc as they are so little and obviously no concept of how to conform socially in that environment but knew it was a family friendly pub. Ordered them meals off kids menu and the staff kindly accepted requests to serve on a plate to cool quicker. The food was fine and as you’d expect for the venue and price. After eating the kids got restless and had had enough of colouring. I decided to let my 1 yr old stretch her legs and the eldest followed. It was a quiet day and only a few tables seated. They were walking round the entrance and looking at fruit machines. Other diners commented how cute my little girl was toddling as she was learning to walk. My eldest had a quick cheeky dash behind the bar when no staff were there and I quickly called him back. An older man then spoke to me as we passed his table on way to get our coats and asked that I take my children elsewhere as they were trying to have a quiet meal. I commented the children had been seated and quiet all thoroughout waiting for and eating their meal and that is was a family friendly pub serving kids meals. His response was that it was a restaurant with a bar (I would dispute) and that I should take them next door. I commented I was but it wasn’t yet open and there is nowhere to wait or play outside as the pub nor next door has outdoor play areas. He commented I should leave and I was very upset and shocked. I informed the male and female staff and they were lovely, they commented the children had not bothered them and offered them halloween sweets and encouraged us to stay. I have been left upset and ruminating on this all day as it is already stressful thinking about taking little ones out when you never know how they’ll manage these types of environments and I would rather let them explore safely with me than sit on screens. The pub was very quiet which is also why I allowed this. However it was very much helped by the kind staff and the gesture of the sweets left me feeling welcome and I would definitely return so thank you"

Om Is Where The Heart Is

"We visited for an early evening music slot and enjoyed both the performance (Lee Bardsley and India Shan Merritt) and the venue. Nom is a comfortable place to be with a good range of drinks, including cocktails. The only negative (minus 1 star) was the lack of bar food, which was limited to small, but well filled bowls of unsalted cashews and peanuts. We noticed that other customers also enquired about food, so I expect that there's a demand Nom stops serving meals at 4.00pm which makes sense when you're closing at 5.00pm, but this happens even on their late opening days (Thurs, Fri, Sat). So, Nom is a nice place to visit with an attractive menu (unsampled by us), good service and a relaxed atmosphere just don't expect to eat after last orders at 4.00pm."

"We celebrated a birthday at this restaurant and were extremely disappointed. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, we had to repeatedly grab the attention of the waitstaff to receive any service. The garlic bread with cheese was essentially a large pizza crust with cheese and garlic spread on top, which was not appealing. One of us ordered a calzone which was dry and lacking in filling. The wine, once we were finally served it, appeared to be watered down. Overall, we were not satisfied with our experience and do not plan to return."

"My niece and nephew were meeting up for a family lunch with their partners. I have dined at the Crown a few times and have found the owners very welcoming. The Crown is an ideal venue for a good value home cooked meal. We hadn’t booked as it was rather an impromptu event. There were 7 of us, Suzanne organised a table promptly for our group. My husband although having popped in for a pint on various occasions hadn’t eaten here before. His verdict on his pie , mash and veg was excellent, he said best pub pie in ages. The chicken curry’s went down well. The homemade broccoli and Stilton soup was delicious. Steak and chips fab. The puddings went down well. My niece ordered the chocolate brownie and requested whipped cream. Nothing was too much effort. Thankyou for your service and hospitality at the last minute. We will of course return."

"Awesome gem that I’ve found just by searching for kid-friendly places reasonably close to all relatives and friends invited to my son’s third birthday. It’s the sort of place that would deserve to exceed the usual review scale, six stars would at least be required to represent the distance between The Boot and many other places that I reviewed with 5 stars. Ever since we set foot into this great pub, we’ve been welcomed with smiles and a level of kindness that other places reserve only for returning guests. The food was delicious and reasonably priced and there’s a wide range of good cocktails, beers and wines available. The kids play area is wonderful and my son played all afternoon. There are also many tables close to the play area so adults can have food there while keeping an eye on their children. The weather wasn’t great so we had food indoors, and even if our table was near the kitchen, no smell or noise disturbed us. All the staff sang Happy Birthday to my son while taking the cake that we had been allowed to bring over, and overall it’s been a perfect day. I will definitely look for opportunities to come back here."

Mocha

"We visited Sidmouth on 19th July with my wife's god-daughter and her sister. Having spent some time on the beach we wanted to have a meal and The Mocha was right in front of us so we decided to eat there. The menu said that they were serving up to 3pm and we went in at 2.50 so we all quickly made our choices and I went up to the counter to order, arriving at 2.55. There was one elderly gentleman in front of me buy a coffee. However the server seemed to be having some trouble making the order and then the gentleman had some issues making his payment resulting in my arrival at the counter at 3.01, literally 3.01, one minute past 3pm, only to be told they weren't taking any more food orders as it was past 3pm. I argued that I had been in the queue for six minutes and that I would have ordered before 3pm if they hadn't taken so long to sort one coffee order out but to no avail. The member of staff in question was very abrupt to the point of being rude and it was quite clear she could not be bothered to take our order as other staff were dashing around clearing tales and it may have resulted in the staff having to wait for us to finish our meal before they could close up. If they are not going to accept orders up to 3pm then they shouldn't state this on the menu and I have never been in a restaurant or cafe where they refuse to take an order which would have exceeded £60 after I had joined a queue before the closing time. They are lucky they can afford to turn away over £60's worth of business. The customer service here was zero and would not recommend visiting a place where the staff are so rude or so unhelpful."

"Another great meal. As locals to the village we often eat here as more than anything it is conveniently located within walking distance. However we are very fortunate that the food is good too. There is a wealth of options on the menu (and kids meals and the odd special. I highly rate the chicken supreme and both lasagnes. My teenager kids also rave about the homemade curry with rice AND chips. If you are wanting pub food in a beautiful setting then I’d recommend here. Portions are large and often too big for me to have dessert but I do recommend the Lemon Curd cheesecake (which I am guilty of taking away! Only observations is the menu doesn’t change which for a regular would make a nice option. Also if you want to have a drink only, there is little room inside (fine in the summer, but not great in the bad weather ."

"We recently moved nearby and have visited this restaurant a few times for enjoyable meals. For Christmas, we decided to try their Christmas Dinner, which was advertised on their festive menu online. Despite booking well in advance, we were seated at a busy and poorly located table. Sadly, there was nothing festive on the table or in the atmosphere, and the staff did not acknowledge the holiday season. When we mentioned we had booked for the festive menu, the server informed us that it was not available on Sundays, even though it was advertised online and we had specifically requested it when booking. After some confusion, we were only given one festive menu for the four of us. The food turned out to be bland and tasteless, with small portions and no festive touches like crackers. Our past experiences at this restaurant were positive, but this Christmas Dinner was disappointing. We had a much better experience at another restaurant for Christmas in the past, so it's possible to have a great holiday meal out. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant for a festive family outing."

"Really nice pub. Large selection of beers and ales, and a beautiful seating area on the front that combines the local atmosphere of the fantastic small village in which it is located. They say: “We want us to be a real pub here, and we want you to be able to enjoy our classic fish and chips or our amazing burgers with a pint of great beer. Or our 'duo of lamb, carved lamb Rump, rosemary lamb shoulder and goats cheese croquette, beet root, crispy polnta, salsa verde ' a 'Tandoori monkfish, mint yoghurt, mango chutney, pickled cucumber, chorizo cubed israeli cous cous option also a bar. On Sunday we serve everything about the roast Sirloin of beef, roasted meat of pork, roast chicken and our veggie roast. All are served with delicious trimmings for the table 'Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, bread sauce, cauliflower, brat red cabbage, honey roasted carrots and parrots and Gravy'" highly recommended to visit and enjoy great place"

"This had been a review that I have been wanting to write for a while, but never got around to it, but after yesterday’s Sunday lunch I couldn’t forget anymore!! We have been attending the black lion since July when we moved to the village and found out that the local pub had been taken over by new landlords, and what a cracking job they have done so far! I’m a professional chef and been working in top restaurants and gastro pubs for the last 22 years and understand all the aspects of hospitality…and I have to say they made one of the best roast dinners I’ve had in a very long time! All the meats were cooked to perfection, alongside amazing array of veggies and fluffy crispy potatoes! Yorkshire puddings bigger than your fist, perfectly seasoned throughout and a tasty gravy to bring it all together! The landlords should be proud of what themselves and their team for what they have produced. This wasn’t a one time affair either….we have visited 3 times in the last couple months and has equally been as good each time and think we are becoming hooked I can’t speak for the rest of the menu as I haven’t seen it or tasted it, but if it’s as good as the roast, then you will be in for a treat! Brad and Natasha and the team are always very inviting and the atmosphere feels very relaxed, especially when the fires are roaring away! We will definitely be recommending this pub in the future to all our friends and local colleagues, and look forward to seeing this public house grow in the future as it deserves to."
