"I haven't been with the bears head for a few years, but was pleased that it was just as good as I remembered. beautiful log fires and cordial greetings and a great menu to choose from. the suppe was delicious, but could have done with something more and possibly more brot. the minipuddings were also a great idea, but the eton mess was essentially cream and very little that was disappointed. but we will be back."

"Staff were very attentive. We were a party of 6 and all our meals arrived quickly and all together. Meals were nicely presented and the staff were able to tweak' a couple of them to suit the diner. Food was lovely and nothing was too much trouble. A lovely meal with family. Thank You. Would definitely book this restaurant again."

"This is not the first time I have been to this restaurant and it certainly will not be the last. Amazing food, fantastic staff and a great atmosphere. From my parents in their 80’s to my 8 year old daughter, we were looked after, talked too and genuinely treated like one of the family. Kirsty and Jane are lovely ladies who work really hard here and are a real pleasure to see on our 6 weekly visits. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this wonderful eatery. Book now, you won’t regret it."

"Just been for dinner here and it was superb! Seafood risotto for me and fish cakes for my partner both amazing! Ive actually never had such a great risotto I then had the crumble and custard which was massive and again anazing, my partner opted for the mini brownie and coffee but the brownie was a pretty decent size not really mini well worth the money, great food, great service and our new favourite eating spot"

"Receptionist Couldn’t fine our Open Table booking, but they had plenty of tables available so not a problem, but might have been had they been busy. We chose the Sunday roast beef. Cabbage was a little on the cool side. Beef was quite fatty and fairly tough, considering that it was 28 day aged. Roast potatoes were very good, as were the parsnips and carrots Soft drinks expensive small lemonade and lime £2.45) Overall value fair."

"They came a long way from few years ago when a wee waitress with big attitude argued with me that fish is a vegetarian option. Now they have a separate vegan menu and the dishes I've tried were pretty good (chickpea burger, side of aubergines, free cider when you subscribe to their newsletter, also vegan), the place itself is very scenic outside and cosy and atmospheric inside. I was told that there is a vegan staff member working in the kitchen which I always find reassuring."

"After booking online at 8:30am, the morning of the lunch (2:30pm) I received a booking confirmation of which I organised the family and met them at the pub. We arrived and there was no record of our booking and they were fully booked. We had a four year old and a month old baby as part of our party and waited over 20min in the bar area whilst the staff rather negatively/aggressively discussed if I was lying about the booking or not. Eventually they provided a table of six (a table had sat empty the whole time) and mentioned they had moved a few things round. Their excuse was the online booking system wasnt checked as they had been too busy to phone to say pub was full. I had travelled down from Sheffield for a special occasion and was happy nobody had told us. Lunch I can say was great but service wasn’t. Waited 15min to order our drinks and gave up after asking for he dessert menus after 20min of nobody attending our table. Ended up going to the local shop for dessert!"

"I encountered an issue when they couldn't find my reservation from OpenTable, but thankfully I had a printed copy of the confirmation with me. They did manage to seat us, so I recommend booking directly. It took an hour from our arrival to placing our order. The food was excellent, but the service was quite slow when the restaurant was busy. On the positive side, the staff was very polite and friendly. It's a nice place to enjoy a quiet meal."

"what a difference makes a few days! eating was just as good as our first visit, but oh the service. it is a long time since we have experienced such a catalog of bad service, from the moment we arrived to pay the challenges of bill really appalling. our friends were wondering why we invited them to a culinary experience in the balloch house despite the quality of eating."

"We have been going to the Bears Head for a couple of years for special occasions. They must have a new Chef because the Sunday Roast Beef was red and 2 people at the table didn't enjoy it. I couldn't eat mine and swapped with someone else. The latest trend to serve red meat isn't to everyone's taste. The parsnip was so al dente that I couldn't cut it with my knife!! I thought I was just being picky, so didn't complain."

"The Broughton Inn is a pleasant chain owned pub with traditional wood beam interior the type you would expect in a rural historic building that is over 150 years old. We visited for a pre Mothers Day meal with my parents and as they are in their eighties it was good to see that access was easy for them. One thing that they commented on was that parking was difficult as there were a lot of commercial vans taking up car parking space and they struggled to find somewhere to park. The food was very good and certainly good value for money. The waitress that served us was pleasant and attentive. The only criticism that we all agreed on was that the ambient music was a bit too loud. I am sure it didn't bother the other guests but for us it made conversational a little difficult as my parents are both a bit hard of hearing. That apart I would certainly recommend giving the Broughton Inn a visit."

"Having eaten here several times before, we decided to go for dinner with friends Friday evening. Sadly we didn't have a good time. We were shown a table, then waited half an hour before anyone came to take a drink or food order, no reason given for delay or an apology. Sadly my steak pie contained no meat, which was a disappointment. Our waiter half heartedly told us he would inform the chef, unsure if he did or not. We ordered dessert which took forever to appear, I then had to ask for my coffee as it had been forgotten. It has always been a nice place to visit for dinner or just drinks with friends, however our recent experience has now put us off."

"after a first disappointment in the march we decided to come back and give them another attempt. at our second visit was eating for all of us absolutely excellent. all meal piping hot well presented amd generously portioning. Eating was a good quality and exactly what they want from good honest meals in a stunning pub. the greetings and the service were absolutely brilliant and cannot be error-free. they are really interested in you. a warm welcome and attentive while. I always appreciate a kind thanks and farewell at leaving and they surpassed my expectations and let us feel when it was excellent. we're coming back."

"Despite arriving 30 minutes early, we were seated immediately, and our drinks came out very quickly. I was impressed by the variety on the Sunday menu. We each ordered different roast dishes, and they were all outstanding. I tried the triple platter featuring beef, pork, and turkey. The vegetables were excellent too—at least three varieties among our group of five! The dessert selection was fantastic; I could have chosen at least three options. I ended up going with the apple and rhubarb crumble accompanied by hot custard to round off my meal. It was great value too, coming in at around £28 per person, which included two pints. And let's not forget the friendly and attentive staff!"

"I made a reservation through Opentable, but when we arrived, there was no record of it. They informed us that they don't work with Opentable. Fortunately, we didn’t have any trouble getting a table. All four of us ordered the three-meat meal, which was supposed to include beef, turkey, and pork. We received beef that was tough and filled with gristle (our dog enjoyed it when we got home), turkey, and gammon instead of pork. The meal was lukewarm, and the Yorkshire pudding was overcooked. The dessert was decent, especially the apple pie with custard served as a mini dessert alongside coffee. However, my friends ordered the Banoffee pie, and were disappointed by the very small portion they received."

"Every time I dine at The Black Horse, it is consistently a delightful experience. The interior design is charming, and the staff members are exceptionally welcoming and kind. The menu always offers a delicious selection to choose from. In fact, my friend and I were discussing during our meal that we have never had anything to complain about in all the times we have eaten here. The team at The Black Horse truly deserve recognition for their hard work. Thank you, Tracy Palmer."

"To this day. Roast beef came dry and cold. I could say before it sent the table back. Odd would send this to customers. Second step was better, but still dry meat was brown throughout the way. Cauliflower cheese (extra secondary dish) was simply cooked with a tasteless cream sauce. Yorkshire Pud was burned and smoked. Too bad when we've been a few times recently and every other time the food was great."
