"What a lovely find. From the start the staff were friendly taking us to our table. The restaurant is warm and friendly and clean it was nice to see that they still offered hand sanitizer at the table which my friends were happy about). The menu was small but perfect offering a variety of starters, mains and desserts for all pallets. There were 6 of us on a Saturday night. We all had different starters of which mine, the avocado and prawns was big, the prawns fresh and meaty and the sauce was a plenty. My husband had the monk fish tempura which he said was very tasty. Out of 6 of us 4 of us had the steaks on the hot stone A MUST. Delicious!! The waitress was very keen to explain how the meat continues to cook on the stone so ensured we asked for the meat finish we wanted ensuring that the steak didn't over cook. There was a slight misunderstanding between the kitchen and the order ie a few side dishes were incorrect. Before we could even say anything to be honest it was fine) the waitress said all sides would be free I mean that was so kind of her and made us very happy. All sides including the potatoes and veg were delish and the other 2 who had veal were also very happy. I must admit we were stuffed and couldn't manage desserts but they did sound and look lovely. Overall I would highly recommend for any night of the week for it's food, its customer service and for somewhere a little different Well done all at Ray's we'll be back"

"We visited here the day before and booked a table for the following evening as it’s a small venue. We had to come in quite late because it’s small, busy and gets booked up. We understand all of these things, but on the night in question we were greeted by more than one individual who seemed very stressed and spoke to us initially as if we didn’t have a table booked and couldn’t help us. This wasn’t a great first impression. Eventually we were seated at a table and given menus. We knew what we wanted to order quickly, but had to wait quite a while before anyone came over to take a drinks order. So when they did we ordered food at the same time. We waited quite some time for drinks and even longer for food. Although tables were finishing off there seemed to be a lot of tables still waiting for food. It felt a bit frantic and as if the kitchen was struggling to cope. When we received our mains they were nicely presented. The main issue was that one of the portions of chips was cold and the other was only lukewarm. The fish was okay in terms of temperature and was as expected in terms of flavour, apart from the lobster which was impossible to crack through using the basic tools provided, so it had to be returned to the kitchen for assistance which meant other food was cooling. It was a chilly evening, but the doors were open and the food cooled quicker still. The wine selection was good and the wine selected went well with the food. The desserts on offer looked amazing and we sampled them and can confirm that they were very good. The disappointment here comes from being provided with cold sides, inadequate equipment to get in to the lobster, chewy lobster meat and other fish cooling rapidly because the ambient temperature was falling rapidly and windows/doors remained open."

"My wife and I decided to try the Village Maid having eaten at other pubs in the Moss Co chain) as they had a special promotion with 50% off main meals for a limited period Mondays to Wednesdays). My sister had bought us a £10 gift voucher and we thought it would be a good opportunity to use it. Sadly this was not possible the pub 's menu states '50% OFF MAINS OFFER CANNOT BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MOSS CO VOUCHER. TO USE A MOSS CO VOUCHER, MEALS WILL BE CHARGED AT FULL RESTAURANT PRICE '. The meal itself was excellent. I ordered the whitebait starter £8) which was a good sized portion and my wife and I shared it. Really tasty and fresh. For main course I ordered the pan fried seabass £20 reduced to £10) and a side order of hand cut chips £4). It was served with a chickpea, chorizo and prawn gumbo in a large bowl and to be honest I could have skipped the chips as it was very filling. There were loads of prawns, although only two small pieces of seabass. My wife ordered the Maple Glazed Bacon Steak £17 reduced to £8.50) which she really enjoyed. We shared a dessert, a lovely Banana Toffee and Pecan Sponge Pudding with Custard £8.50) which was really light and tasty, and more than enough for us to share. The pub had an extensive drinks menu but only two ales available, although the Lacons Encore was tasty. The service was excellent we had a very friendly lady server who had a great sense of humour and we really enjoyed the interaction. Pace of service was just right, not too rushed or slow, so enough time to digest and enjoy without feeling full or pushed to clear the table. We had a lovely meal and the entire visit was excellent. The only reason for not scoring 5 stars was the gift voucher issue. I don 't see the logic in denying customers with gift vouchers the ability to access the offer. I could understand why the 50% off mains offer couldn 't be used with another 'discount ' offer, but a gift voucher is still a cash payment, indeed Moss Co even had the money in advance! If we had used my voucher we would have ended up paying £8.50 MORE than not using it, which seems daft, especially as Moss Co are promoting the giving of these vouchers as Xmas presents in their newsletter...we were better off NOT using it, which doesn 't seem right. I have emailed Moss Co twice on this matter and not even had an acknowledgment. Apart from that the meal experience was excellent and I am sure we will be tempted to return."
