Great food and service. Whilst it didn’t spoil our lunchtime visit I will definitely ask not to be seated in a booth next time as it felt a little too snug for six adults.

This was our first meal at the Cradock and it surpassed expectations. A very good Sunday lunch with lots of choice. The service was excellent and we were well looked-after. My special request for a table with space for a pram was met, and they placed us close to the baby change facilities which was really thoughtful. They were very busy - fully booked for lunch that day, but the food and waiting times were not affected by how busy it was. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning!

All four of us had fish, chips and peas. My piece of fish had a lot of bones in it. Also the portions of mushy peas were so small. It wouldn’t count much to my “5 a day” .

There was a table of 10 elderly ladies who were a bit noisy but probably because they were a little hard of hearing!!!!

Friendly, polite, helpful staff, always had a smile. Nice greeting as we arrived. Knowledgeable about food and could answer questions. Very delicious food. Beautifully cooked. Fairly pricey, especially side dishes and just some of the mains. Dessert prices very reasonably priced though. Pleasant atmosphere, comfortable, pub atmosphere with high standards. Well done The Cradock!

As always the menu was varied, the food well presented, well prepared and importantly piping hot when it arrived. Service was excellent, attentive but not overbearing. Drinks choice also very good and varied. The Cradock always delivers! Paul H. Knighton

The place was packed which surprised me for a Thursday night and I was glad that I had booked in advance. I had the lamb rump which was excellent, cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. Excellent range of Everards real ale along with guest beers, as well as the usual range of other beverages.

Gorgeous, light, comfortable, old-meets-modern surroundings, superb service, and tasty, home-cooked food at reasonable prices. Sunday lunch menu gave the full-house option of lamb, pork, beef, turkey and nut roast, plus others and 3 specials so plenty of choice (although nut roast was only veggie offering but this was very tasty and not dry as some nut roasts can be). All the trimmings and best roast parsnips EVER! Good choice for non-veggies on the dessert menu too. Desserts were not marked as vegetarian on the menu and, when we asked, there was only one veggie dessert - luckily the Chocolate delice was amazing. Will definitely be back - including our vegetarian!

The food was excellent as usual and the staff friendly. Our table was very wobbly and we were worried that our drinks were going to be spilt when it moved.
