The food was very good as always. However we waited over an hour for our main course and had to ask what the delay was. Apparently it was due to a wedding. Oh dear, not good enough team!

I would like all pub meals to be like this. Really nice selection of drinks, great room delicious food. We went with the a la carte - mackerel starter particularly good - but a smaller good value menu was available too.

Excellent food, salmon risotto & the main course of braised beef tartlet was delicious as were the sides. Dessert i would say the rice pudding was one of the best i have ever had.

The quality of the food was excellent and the service was good except for an unacceptable wait of 40 minutes for a single starter.

Service impeccable as always but lunch mains of roast beef exceptionally disappointing. Having thought about it we should have complained at the time but it is so disruptive for your group when food has to be sent back. The beef was perfectly pink but half of what was a pretty paltry portion was pure fat. The Yorkshire pudding was huge but overcooked and scarcely edible. So disappointing for a family celebration. Sorry Bay Horse have to say " could do better!" Other meals we have had have been exceptional so we were disappointed on this occasion.

The restaurant was lovely. Good atmosphere. We had a Sunday lunch, veg was nice and decent portion but the sirloin beef was fatty and in our opinion and not a lot of it.

it was great as ever - the frozen parsley parfait was very clever! The only bad thing was the annoying woman sitting behind us letting everyone she knew about all things (she didn't) and berating her elderly father!
