We are pleased to be recognised as a family run pub with attentive friendly staff, something that repeatedly comes up on our reviews. Our aim is to provide good quality freshly produced food and at reasonable prices.

We are delighted our customers love the warm welcoming ambience of the pub and enjoy the traditional and slightly quirky decor.

The Farmer’s Sunday lunch always offers a choice of three meats, fresh vegetables and goose fat roast potatoes. We also offer a homemade vegetarian option and can cater for gluten free and other requirements, just ask us.

    Consistently good food whether you have the roast or a light bite or classic pub. Definitely a good place which I have used on a regular basis for the past three years.

    There wasn’t anything on the menu that I wouldn’t have enjoyed, but having decided on the liver, well what a good choice. The portion was generous but not overwhelming and it was cooked to perfection. Soft, melt in the mouth and very tasty, hats off to the chef. The service was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable but not intrusive in anyway. Highly recommended and will definitely go again.

    My husband and I had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch at the Farmers today. The menu was varied and plentiful. The service was rapid and the waiters and waitresses were all friendly and efficient. The price was good value too.

    We had meal for my birthday. The seating area was average and we were seated on a very large table for two people. The food was nice enough. The pie was the star of the show, the curry was a bit bland. Good size portions! Desert was ok, nothing special. We had to ask someone to take a drinks order at one point as the service was a little on the slow side. All in all a nice enough experience, but we wouldn't rush back again.

    Good food, good service at the bar/till, good play area for the kids. Not impressed with the mess left on tables around the garden, including several times requesting our table be cleared of previous diners mess. Lots of wasps too, maybe just one of those things, maybe the left dirty plates/bottles contribute.
