"It was a dark and stormy night. We we’re heading to meet some friends and had been travelling for some time when the car started to falter. The wind was howling and pushing the car from side to side the rain was so heavy the wipers couldn’t clear the screen quick enough. So I decided we needed to find shelter. In the distance I could see some lights so we headed towards them. Managing to nurse the car we pulled up at a pub called the Travellers Friend. The wife and I put on our coats and rushed through the front door to seek comfort. I pushed the large wooden front door open and it creaked with age. I couldn’t see anyone so I called out hello? There was no immediate reply. Suddenly there was a large clap of thunder followed by a flash of lightning that lit the room momentarily and by the bar I saw a tall slim dark figure. Can I help you sir said the man. Yes a table for four please two pints and two glasses of wine I said. Certainly sir he replied. Our guests arrived and we dined on some of the best restaurant food I’ve had in sometime, fantastic portions, perfectly cooked and served by friendly staff in lovely surroundings. It was an excellent meal and extremely affordable too. The End Next episode: The Travellers Friend revisited."

I really enjoyed my meal at this restaurant. The beef was very tender and the selection of vegetables was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. For dessert, I had Peach Melba and there were many lovely ice cream options available at a reasonable price. I recommend booking in advance for a Sunday visit and I look forward to returning for lunch during the week to try their great menu.

I’ve visited the Travellers, infrequently, for nearly 30 years. It is only recently that I have been visiting more regularly. It’s a quirky pub (in a good way) and a critic may suggest updating the interior. However, I like it the way it is. Nobby, the landlord, has been in the game for years and is well respected in the local area. The food is amazing; my daughters had burgers, followed by sundaes, which looked and tasted amazing (I nicked some). The choices included, honeycomb, peach Melba and cookies and cream, to name a few. My mum opted for the veggie omelette and I followed suit. It was very good and a fair sized salad came with it, as well as chips. The food is consistently good and v...

I typically write positive reviews, but this time I feel a negative review is warranted. My son had made a reservation for three at this restaurant for Sunday lunch on March 3rd. Despite being told by the landlord that there was no need to book as there would be space available at 1 o’clock, I decided to call and confirm the booking. However, when we arrived at 1 o’clock, we were told that the restaurant was fully booked. Despite reminding the waiter of what the landlord had told us and pointing out that their website recommends booking on Sundays due to high demand, we were still turned away. The landlord was nowhere to be found, leaving the young waiter to handle the situation in an unprof...
