Food was wonderful, lovely evening, accommodated my request for seating. Staff was attentive and helped us with our dilemma regarding the wine, which worked out cheaper.

Food lovely, but not as wonderful as on previous visits, service great, and loved the sweet jar with jelly beans etc in at the end. We have been very spoilt here in the past, this was just not as good as previous visits.

It took very long time to prepare our food. One of the mains was not available but not mentioned when the menus were given to us. One of the main courses was very small and served one like you would receive in the pub. Dessert was tasted burned and bitter. Very overpriced for the value

Top notch food. The menus have been updated and, I must say look much better. Excellent selection of Specials. I had the Pheasant leg as a starter and a very fresh tuna steak. Excellent wine selection....I thoroughly recommend the French Malbec. Efficient and polite staff.

the meat was good but all of the fish dishes we had were extremely overdone. the special deals they had on offer were a different price than stated on their website and the final bill was too complicated to understand what they had charged us for. To top it off, something I ate made me extremely ill for 12 hours following the meal...

Over priced for what it is. Burgers are affordable but everything else is too expensive. Prefer the more atmospheric pubs in the area of the village.

Great food beautifully cooked - well done chef. Lovely atmosphere. Just a shame our fantastic waitress was working alone. Particularly as the restaurant was full. Please look after your staff and customers and employ more than one serving staff - she also had to mix / pour the drinks at the bar before serving them.

Consistently very good - with lovely staff! Would appreciate more 'pure' fish and vegetarian options on the menu (although they are very amenable to requests, say, to substitute the chorizo added to potatoes with a non-animal alternative!) Could also do with some better background music! But still our favourite local restaurant!

Not as good as we remember. Breakfast disappointing value: one sausage, one bacon, one egg, toast extra for £9. All tasty enough, but nothing special. Service friendly but slow.

Sunday roast was very tasty with enormous Yorkshire pudding! They even had a vegetarian option. Portions were big and a bit too much for lunch but you can always skip your dinner, right.

Another very good meal at Village Kitchen - a birthday treat from my brother. I note there is a 2 hour limit for parties of 2 and different limits for other party sizes; I don't like these one bit even if an economic reality, but thankfully not applied this time presumably as restaurant not totally full.

Usually love it here but the menu was limited. They were out of what I wanted for a starter and main. I ended up having a chicken burger... Great service though and food was good. Just didn't have what I wanted. Shame.

Not busy when we arrived, only 2 of us, but it took over 30 mins to get a jug of water and bottle of wine to us. Our starter arrived 15mins later, mine was unpleasant (I wasn't charged for it). My friend's marinated beetroot tasted shop bought/prepared. The mains lacked seasoning. Staff pleasant but good poor

We booked in via Quandoo for Sunday lunch. Village Kitchen was busy as usual but that didn't stop the staff from giving us a warm welcome and making us feel valued. I had the roast salmon with trimmings, husband had the roast chicken, knowing how generous the portions are we had deliberately skipped breakfast, but I had to reluctantly give up two roast potatoes to allow room for the Eton Mess which is an absolute favourite dessert. Other half chose the chocolate bread and butter pudding with custard which is a firm favourite. Chose a Pinot Noir to drink. Great value for money, this is and always will be one of our favourite restaurants.
