   Lovely Sunday roast, stuffing balls were delicious. Service was attentive from all staff so highly recommend. Only issue was had to wait at least 10 mins due to payment issues with WiFi so would possibly look into changing the payment provider. We would still definitely come back even with this in mind.

   My wife and I were at the OP on Friday evening for the fish buffet and it was superb. Greeted by Bernard who took us through the offerings explaining the format. He explained that in addition to the eat-as-much as you like from the buffet, the a la carte menu was also available. We chose the calamari from the a la carte followed by the buffet. On offer was fish goujons , scampi, battered sausages, beef suet pies, chunky chips, mushy peas, beans, curry sauce and gravy. Great selection with the fish coming out tops due to the tempura type batter! Delicious 😜

   Food was very good the host made us feel very welcome and service was good. Unfortunately the restaurant was not very well supported presumably because it was a Wednesday evening.

   Delicious food, great ambience, attentive staff and an enjoyable experience. First time trying this venue after the new owner took over and what a remarkable experience after the previous owners efforts. Bernard (new owner) has got it spot on with his varied and choice menus with theme nights offered weekly together with a la carte choices. Something for everybody's taste and a decent wine selection. We opted for the crispy chilli calamari starter followed by the king prawn curry with papadums and nan. The calamari was super soft with just the right amount of kick from the chillies. The curry was a welcome change from the normal pub curries and had a Mauritian slant to it in a rich tomato base with really decent size king prawns and steamed basmati. . The portions were substantial! We were offered a complimentary desert celebrating our wedding anniversary and it came in the form of apple crumble with custard and ice cream ….. the crumble being very fine and perfectly baked. I can thoroughly recommend the Old Pheasant and looking forward to the Friday night fish feast which has become a firm favourite with locals.

   Very pleasant atmosphere. Great service and friendly staff. Food was good - well judged portions and a more than simply 'bar meals'.

    We had a wonderful evening meal and overnight stay at the Old Pheasant. The staff was attentive and the atmosphere was friendly. We were slightly disappointed in the menu, but very happy to be told that lamb shank was the special of the evening. Naively we assumed that this would be the same price as the main courses, until we received the bill! It was a special birthday treat, so it was ok; especially as our gift from the management was a free dessert! Everything was yummy, and Kathryn (spelling?) looked after us fantastically well. The room was lovely and comfortable, and the buffet breakfast was fabulous. Bernard was very friendly and attentive - I have challenged him to a home-made marmalade contest! Thoroughly recommend the Old Pheasant. ☺️
