"A wonderful hidden gem of a restaurant that is open every day between 10 3pm. We were staying in the village for a week, so tried this place 3 times each time we took the food away to enjoy at the cottage we had hired as we had dogs. Even though one of our family was vegetarian, there was plenty of choice for all four of us each time. Our first meal was Sweet Potato Chickpea Curry, which came with Rice and a small Nan Bread each. Lovely tasty meal with plenty of flavours. We ordered the Sunday Beef Roast as well as a Vegetarian Roast for the following day, and the lady offered to deliver it to our cottage. Again, wonderful quality food with plenty on the plates to satisfy us. The 3rd meal was Vegetable Lasagne a Vegetable Risotto with Mediterranean Veg. Beautiful flavours on both dishes again with plenty of food on the plates. All the food was excellent value especially for the price, and we could not recommend it highly enough. Yum, yum, yum!!"

"i have been to the tea room at Kiplin Hall 3 times now, last year 2017 was rubbish because of no supervision of the teenagers they employed and the silly ipad type of ordering, neither of which worked. I have just been for the first time this year and it was a lot better organised, the waiting staff were more 'on the ball ', polite and paper ordering pads, so ok at the moment. the lady at the till was more polite than last year 's very rude lady, the cheese scone and tea were ok. the toilet is ok, but could be cleaner, the outside toilets they have are not good at all, cold and unclean and it 's the beginning of the season so should not be like that. the manager 's of Kiplin Hall needs to get their act together and get some cleaning done and keep it clean, and the 'doggy ' smell in the back hall where the toilets are (inside) is not good and was the same last year, which is why we didn 't go back after our 2 bad visits."

"Visited Easter Sunday for lunch with my wife and teenage boys. Arrived early and asked about our reservation. Table was not ready but were offered a table to have a drink and browse the menu while we waited for our table to be ready. Selection of food was good and reasonably priced against others in the area, we had carried put research before booking as some in our party can be fussy. Had heard about long waits for the food but after being shown to our table we were eating at, order taken and food arriving we waited less that 30 minutes. Food was lovely, we had two traditional beef and two roast chicken. Both roast chicken eaters were concerned it was going to arrive on the bone but that wasnt the case. We all almost cleared our plates with minimal fuss from the teenagers and ordered four different desserts, each one demolished. All the staff we encountered throughout our visit were polite, well turned out and friendly. Although 45 minutes from our home address we will be visiting again and have told friends of out positive all round experience."

"Absolutely awful service at this restaurant, but the food was pretty good, eventually. The facts: The waitress sat us down and gave us the menus. She didn't bother coming back, so after 30 minutes, we ordered at the bar via the barman. I had dietary requirements, and these were explained at the time of ordering, basically no wheat and no dairy on one of the meals. We waited another 25 mins (please note that there was no one else in the restaurant at this time, they other two couples had already left). The waitress then came out and asked us if we'd like anything else. We said we'd hadn't anything yet so no, we weren't ready to order anything else. She went to the kitchen and returned saying the food would be another 5 mins. Food arrived we had been waiting an hour by this stage. I looked at mine and asked the waitress to check if there was any dairy in it, as it was supposed to be wheat and dairy free. She checked in the kitchen and there was indeed dairy on the meal. She said the chef wasn't told about the dairy and it would another 15 minutes for a correct meal to come out. We decided that I didn't mind what it was so long as it was a chicken breast with vegetables and no wheat or dairy on it. My partner had his meal which was ok but he ate it alone because I was still waiting for mine. Mine arrived and was ok too, in the end. I requested fresh chips as the first portion had gone cold and they bought these out for me at no extra cost. Note: This was the night that England were playing in the Euros (before the final) and you could hear the radio/TV playing the match at the back of the pub. We feel that the staff were more interested in listening/watching the football than actually serving us. We did express our opinion politely to the waitress who took our payment but she had not been our serving waitress nor had she taken the food order so took the complaint and apologised despite not being involved in the problem. We also messaged the pub facebook page to complain that the service was appalling but we got no reply from them. Needless to say we're never eating there again."

"A wonderful meal this evening at The Bridgewater Arms, could not fault the overall experience. 5 star service with 5 star food to match. Attention to detail here in every way. Can highly recommend a visit here, we will definitely be back to try the banana parfait! The cheese croquettes were to die for. Every course was cooked to perfection. Thank you for a wonderful evening"
