    We have visited a couple of times for a Sunday roast now and have not been disappointed. Great option of meats and a veggie option. All the sides are delicious. Good portion sizes and so tasty. The staff are always so lovely and welcoming. Can’t fault them

    The experience was great with the food being better than expected. The decor is nice vibe and staff all friendly and helpful. While possibly not the cheapest you are getting what you pay for.

    The food was fabulous! The service was a bit slow as there did not appear to be enough staff. The staff were delightful but had to keep apologising for the delay which was a shame because they were working hard. Definitely going back to try something else off the menu!

    The Sheep and Penguin is a great place to eat and drink. The staff are amazing, the food is terrific. A Sunday roast at the S&P is outstanding. We really appreciate this pub. We regularly visit with friends and family.
