"Oh dear...you know when your instincts say Turn around and walk out . This seemingly popular local pub was run by teenagers on the day who don 't appear to have tbasic knowledge on how a restaurant should be run. It took several minutes before we were acknowledge or even noticed as customers, 4 of us standing obediently in front of two bar staff focusing on a till issue. The rest played out as you 'd expect as we noticed a sign that said 'no service here '. We giggled in a hungry kind of way."

Very disappointing experience. The pastry in the pie was undercooked, and the burger was overcooked. I won't be returning.

Lovely village pub spoilt by some pond life sitting at the bar whose only known word of the English Language began with the letter F. View menu

This is a truly welcoming pub! The charming girl with red hair at the bar was so friendly and kind to all the patrons. The roast was fantastic! It's vital to support wonderful pubs like this one. I highly recommend it. We were passing through and this was the best pub we came across. Thank you!

Today we had a delicious Sunday roast at The Motte and Bailey. On arrival we were made to feel welcome and were seated in a lovely area of the pub next to the fire. The roast was all home cooked with a large portion of cauliflower cheese served on the side and included in the price. The Rioja was great too! Thanks for a lovely experience. See you again soon.

"Went for dinner here recently. The restaurant is clean and looks good. Atmosphere is nice and tables well spaced. Staff were welcoming and accomodating, especially as we hadn't booked a table. Unfortunately it went seriously even dangerously wrong with the food... When ordering tapas we let the server know that I have an allergy. They provided their allery menu, showing which dishes are safe for various allergies (great! . So we ordered appropriately and repeated the allergy. When our food came out it looked good BUT we ourselves spotted that half the dishes had been covered in what Im allergic to. Fortunately I ate very little before we realised. This is really careless and potentially dangerous for allergy sufferers, as well as causing problems for those with intolerances enforced dietary restrictions. Fortunately my allergy doesn't cause anaphylaxis, so it wasn't life threatening in this case, but mistakes like this could have serious implications. They replaced the dishes plate cutlery and were apologetic, but honestly it was obvious that they didn't grasp how serious this sort of thing could be for others. There was no offer of a discount or a refund on our bill; not that I expect things for free, but maybe for a couple of the affected dishes as a gesture. I had to travel home via train afterwards whilst having an allergic reaction and it took about 24 hours to recover fully. Not fun. So I won't be returning here ever again because I just can't risk this happening. And obviously I cannot recommend to anyone with any allergies or dietary requirements. If you go here and any of your party have any such concerns, be seriously careful. This really isn't good enough in 2023."
