They forgot one of our orders, but it great place. Great value for money. Servers seem a bit in disarray asking if we wanted puddings after having our starters. And if we were all done before we both even finished our meal.
Lovely evening spent with friends. Good great. Wine awesome. Staff friendly & cheerful.
Quick & friendly service. Good was yummy. Lots of staff to help if needed.
Food was outstanding! Staff very attentive, Covid preparations were good at the time.
great food and service as always. pleasure to come back
Sunday lunch - We visited The Old Thatch pre pandemic when they were running a carvery, the food was fantastic. A change of ownership hasn't impressed me. The pub was very quiet. Our drinks were slow to arrive, we then waited 50 minutes for our food. There was no clear reason for this, some excuses about a large table of 7 putting them behind. When the food finally arrived it was okay, a bit dry with little gravy. There was nothing a decent home cook couldn't do better. Of course they knocked on a 10% service charge at the end. This should be optional, especially if the service is that bad. I won't be going back.
Sat outside in a lovely sunny garden. Staff polite and welcoming. Food good quality and really hot. A joy to eat.
First time back at The Old Thatch for a long time. We were very impressed, nice atmosphere, waiting staff lovely and friendly, food arrived very promptly. Great food. Will definitely eat there again. Loved the look of the farm shop, although it was closed, but will visit it soon.
Fabulous food and very good service. Will definitely return and bring friends
Food was excellent, outside bench was a little uncomfortable after waiting for meal to arrive
Great food and great service. We would return. Thank you!
The staff were lovely and friendly. Attentive without being intrusive. Enormous portion of Sunday roast lunch. Enjoyed our meal
Service was great, place was starting to get busy, but no drop in service. Food was very nice and well presented, priced accordingly and very tasty. I nice lunch with my dad , who was eighty
Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend Prices were reasonable
Menu choices very good. Staff friendly and helpful. Food was amazing and served as expected. Thank you for a great evening.
Lovely pub with a great geel to it Staff very friendly and attentive Menu had choice of large meals and lunchtime bites which was perfect Will be back
Food quality and portion size could be better, as could the accuracy of the menu descriptions. I had the pie of the day which was ok, but probably had 3 chunks of meat inside and was mostly pastry. The 10oz Sirloin Steak stated triple cooked chips but the actual chips looks like half size roast potatoes. Not bad, but not great so won't be returning in a hurry. As for the continual use of sachet sauces, I hope that venues will start to move back to bottled ketchups or ramekins rather than use terrible quality sachets because it detracts from the overall dining experience.
Service was excellent however the menu was very small with only a few choices.
A nice place to have a meal with friends. First time out since COVID measure’s . Chris
Excellent service and lovely food. Will be returning very soon.
Lovely catch up with friends. We each had a panini - very yummy. Service was excellent. We had a lovely time.
No alchohol free beer. Incorrect order. Inedible chips. Poor menu.
Great service. Good was yummy. We’ll be back for more soon
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit- nice ambience , friendly and efficient staff, Covid measures in place and excellent choice of food & drink. Food was delicious !
We couldn’t believe our food was served within 15 minutes; so fast. It was delicious with a good balance of vegetables to meat. Staff so happy and friendly but not hovering. Not a cheap meal but it was delicious so we’re happy.
Delicious food, great service and lovely atmosphere, definitely go back again soon
Lovely atmosphere. Unfortunately food wasn't up to previous standards. Menu was not as detailed on line. Automatic 10% surcharge added and a prompt for a tip when paying seemed excessive. We've had really fabulous food previously however this time was sadly not the same. Staff very friendly and covid safe, atmosphere was really lovely.
Excellent dining experience again with super helpful staff. Highly recommended.
Lovely food, went out of their way to accommodate us as we arrived after lunch had ended.
Lovely lunch. King Prawn salmon and avocado salad .. in the sunshine .. great staff great service
It was nice to be back out and able to dine in. The atmosphere was buzzy and the new decor good. The food was good but although I understand the need for a limited menu, it was a bit too limited and some meals very poor value for money. This will make us think again before coming back. We will be checking out other menus before booking again whilst in this transition period.
Great visit Food and service much improved although there was quite a wait to order However when I arrived my booking couldn’t be found! Little daunting as there were 6 of us!! We were told it wasn’t a problem but it could have been Thanks
The food was very nice , quite expensive for what it was. Waitress staff chatting at bar and not paying much attention . Didn’t ask if we wanted further drinks which took forever to arrive, once we asked for them. Then they have a cheek to add 10 % service charge, so overall ok rating not great . Won’t be returning.
Under the current Covid restrictions the pub and staff did a stellar job! Having to remind the staff a second time for a lost pint of beer and the bill is totally excusable. What I couldn't understand is why my debit card was retained behind the bar in order to run a tab ?!? I can't recollect the last time my payment card was parted from me for this long in a pub - I was concerned and worried and in hindsight would pay as we went- the other option offered by your staff. Absolutely nothing against your staff they were merely doing what they were told and trained to do. We are local and walked to the pub and would hope to return.
Excellent food. Very friendly staff. Good wine. Very good COVID distancing etc and cleanliness
We went for my husbands birthday and the food was very tasty and was prepared quickly and presented well. The staff were friendly and attentive.
Great venue.. food was really good and so was the staff.. definitely recommend this pub.
Great venue, newly done up with fantastic outside area. Food ok - dry and a bit cold. Great service. Will definitely return.
It is a really nice venue with pleasant helpfully staff. The service was really quick and the food was excellent and presented perfectly. Definitely worth another visit. A tad pricey but having said that it was worth it!
The staff were very friendly and polite and the food was fantastic, so nice to have our meals freshly cooked
Limited basic pub choices souped up a bit, but generally nice.
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food. Would recommend for lunch.
Lovely atmosphere very relaxed, nice food. Enjoyed the music thanks
Really enjoyed the experience, excellent food and service, definitely be going back. Lovely shop as well
We had to cancel our first visit due to illness but rebooked for the following week. Excellent Covid restrictions in place, hand gels etc. Staff masked and as courteous as usual. Very efficient service and really terrific food. Steaks done to perfection. A really satisfying meal and excellent value. It was our first dining out evening and couldn't have been better. Thank you Team Thatch and we look forward to seeing you again.
2nd visit, 1st time in doors, same great service, great taste and lovely atmosphere x
Very pleasant evening. Good atmosphère. Very friendly ne and helpful staff
Really good Sunday lunch perfect Chicken supreme for me, and Roast beef for me my husband, vegetables not over cooked . Only thing I didn't like was the chicken liver pate too salty and the chutney was on top of the pate better to put on the side. Lovely attentive staff all friendly and efficient. Will definitely go back.
Lovely lunch as this restaurant is near my home it is going to become a regular place to eat
Unfortunately the food wasn't up to the standard I expected and the menu was different to the Web edition not a great deal of choice. The staff however, were very friendly and helpful.
