"We went to this pub for an evening meal. The TV was on and competing for attention with the multiple speakers which were blaring out disco music, even in the loos.The staff were friendly and turned off the speaker right above our table when we...said we could not hear each other talking. I think this might be a nice pub if you are part of the local youth and just above legal drinking age but it is not a good place to eat dinner. The food was poor to low quality and all seemed frozen and tasteless. I had prawns for a starter. 5 tasteless frozen prawns in a tasteless batter for over £7 very disappointing. Why don't you get some fresh prawns and make some batter rather than serving the cheapest frozen prawns and then the price might be justifiable. Main courses were not very interesting, burger, pub pizza, etc. I went for the mixed grill. Sadly that was another disappointment. It was basically what you would get at a greasy spoon cafe but with an £18 price tag. Two cheap frozen sausages, two rashers of bacon, a small spoon full of watery mushrooms, a cheap tomato, some frozen chips, a fried egg, a thin slice of black pudding and half of very tough and gristle filled steak. Every mouthful of the steak had tough sinew woven through it and needed spitting out as it was impossible to chew. The plastic bottle of Happy Shoppers ketchup with the £1 price label was an indication of their quality concerns. In summery, this is a local lads pub and probably fine for a pint but do not waste your time or money coming here for food. If they spent a fraction more on the ingredients or tried getting some fresh vegetables and doing some proper cooking with a little more effort on preparation they might get more people eating here, We were the only people eating on a Friday evening. £80 bill for three of us which included 1 pint of bitter and two halves of larger, 3 starters and 3 main courses. That was it. We didn't have deserts as they had already proved they were not capable of preparing food. There are 2 Indian restraints, an Italian, a kebab shop, another pub across the road, a brasserie, a pancake place and a Chinese take away are all within two minutes walk and are all worth walking to rather that eating here. There is also an excellent Thai restaurant in Aspley Guise called the Blue Orchid which is the next village about a mile or two away. Sorry Fir Tree pub, we won't be back. I will give 2 stars as the staff were friendly other wise it would have been 1 star only. . ."

This restaurant is a great place to have breakfast. The sausage is of good quality and the poached eggs are perfect. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Worst Sunday lunch ever. Roast turkey that reminded me of school dinners but only worse. Poor service added to frustration. Maybe we were just unlucky on the day but definitely not returning.

Don’t listen to the bad reviews. I’ve never had a bad meal in the Fir Tree Inn. The pub is such a friendly place, always clean and tidy with friendly bar staff and a great wine selection and a great stop-off for any cyclists.

My wife and I visited this pub early evening on 3 occasions midweek. The food was excellent value for money and served by very friendly staff. Would highly reccomend this place and will be going back next time we are in the area.

Popped in for breakfast with some colleagues after a VERY cold nights camping. Very good selection on the breakfast menu, service was good, generous portions and tasty food. Have breakfasted here before and will certainly return. Few parking spaces on site, but a fairly large...cheap carpark just across the road (and you can squeeze a minibus in

My son planned a dinner for us with his friend at a restaurant we had never been to before. Due to Covid restrictions, the restaurant had a designated entrance and seating area, along with hand sanitizers and tissues available. A staff member guided us to our table, which was well-spaced from others that were reserved. Despite being short-staffed due to an ill employee, the service was still prompt and welcoming. Our server, who also tended to the bar, was efficient and friendly when taking our food orders. The food, though standard pub fare, was tasty and served hot.
