"Terrible service. And I mean terrible. The epitome of bad service, our waitress for the evening opened by saying she was going to look after us, but then did anything else but. Plates dumped on end of table like a school canteen, not enough serviettes, cork left in prossecco for us to open, cutlery repeatedly not replaced (had to help ourselves for spoons for pudding from the cutlery station), first drink took 20 minutes because we 're busy but they weren 't, plates taken while others were still eating, the bar was totally unattended at one point. Overpriced drinks too, a large glass of wine Β£13.75 which is just insane and the bar man served me the most expensive glass without asking what I wanted. The first bottle of red I ordered Β£25 was 10.5% and was like vinegar, the second montepulciano was much better but cost Β£36. The food portions were tiny too, and not good value. About five cubes of pork on a hanging kebab is not good enough. They even had the cheek to put on a service charge of Β£40 after all this. Seemed like a bunch of kids serving all night and no manager present. It showed. Bad service and poor attitude to customer experience. Very disappointing."

Bill came with the service charge already added. The customer should make the decision not the service provider. Service was good . Food good. So no problem today. BUT. I WILL think twice whether I go again

Was so looking forward to trying this place. We were extremely underwhelmed. Starter (crispy mushrooms) was just deep fried burnt bits. I couldn’t make out a mushroom within the burnt bits. The hanging kebab was ok. Felt like a cafe in that the cutlery and napkins were stacked at the edge of the table. No refill of forks after the starter. Staff were very friendly. View menu

Used to be a go to for Sunday Lunch, the last few visits have been really disappointing and the quality of food and ingredients has fallen through the floor over the past 2 years. The place was dead the entire visit. Really seems like the place has gone down hill and such a shame as used to be realy good. Safe to say I don't think I will be back after visiting regularly for aroud 5 years.

I have worked in the village since 1997 and have frequented β€œThe Bot” since it opened . It is always my β€œgo to” place every week on my way home , having worked away for 5 days . The staff are all lovely and discreet , knowing what I’d like to drink and eat . I only have a small appetite , and it’s never a problem that I have a kid’s burger with extra cheese !! Thanks Archie and Joe ! Yesterday I had a Club Sandwich , which was lovely !! The Hanging Kebabs are amazing ! My personal favourite is the pork belly . I sent some builder guests here on Monday night as our own kitchen was closed and they loved the Hanging Kebabs !! I wouldn’t recommend somewhere I wouldn’t eat myself . Tom , Hannah ,...

"Disappointing. This pub used to be really good but our visit yesterday was not very good. Our party of 11 had a lot of niggles that added up to a very average/poor experience, mainly due to slow service slow but also meal quality was not as good compared to their usual standard. Pate starters were bland and tasteless this time, nowhere as good as I 've had before. The Christmas Dinner costs over Β£20 now and several of us found the turkey to be very dry. Comically we each had two cranberries dotted on the plate side, and a single sprout cut in half. There were other veggies of course, but my own green veg portion was cold. The portion size was fine and plenty of gravy but sadly cold plates meant a luke warm (definitely not piping hot) meal. Service was slow, and one person did not get their fish meal until other people had eaten half their main courses. I wanted to say something to the waitress but they did not check us...I later learned she checked a couple at the far end of the table but not everyone. They were understaffed and we had to order extra drinks at the bar ourselves, when usually we were frequently checked by staff if extra drinks are needed. The slowest service was for puddings, they took nearly 25 minutes and arrived well after the hot drinks that were supposed to come together. A staff member later said it says hot drink and pudding on the menu, does not say they come together . I thought he was joking but he clearly seemed unbothered by the delay. Minor things were niggling too, the waitress adamantly would not bring condiments until after all the meals were served. I had nearly finished my turkey when the cranberry sauce arrived. The puddings were the best part, the waffle mini pudding excellent. But my friend ordered the trifle and it was actually more like a chocolate mousse. We later were told only one member of staff made puddings hence the long delay. The total bill was Β£380 for 11 of us. Quite expensive given most of us had only two courses and drinks. In summary...used to be a good pub but standards have slipped."
