    This was my first visit to the Travellers Rest …… and it won’t be my last. It was only by chance that I found this restaurant whilst searching on Google maps for a new dining experience. The staff greeted us warmly and helped getting my friend’s wheelchair easily into the building. The service was friendly and prompt. The menu was clear and varied at sensible prices. The food was great ….. well-cooked and of generous portions. It was a real delight to eat there.

    We waited 50 minutes for food to be served whilst diners who arrived before us were served and finished their meals before ours arrived. My partner's beef Sunday lunch was virtually inedible. Poor service and very poor value for money. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

    Seated to our table upon arrival. Unfortunately 3 of the main dishes were sold out, 1 of them being Fish and Chips which my son (who is autistic) has all the time when we eat out. Big decisions!! He chose to have Sausage and chips in the end which he enjoyed. Service was a bit slow but the food was very good and the waitress was lovely

    Another excellent lunch . The choices of food are very good. Really good menu. A good £12 , drink plus light meal menu. Food was terrific, it now is becoming our " goto" restaurant. Service is always good, lovely staff.

    Very happy with The Travellers Rest. We had lunch on a Monday so it wasn’t busy, but that meant we had a window table and could linger as long as we liked. Very happy with the food and the friendly staff. We are old friends having a good natter and weren’t hurried. Good quality food served well. Lovely pot of tea ( I was driving) Will definately come back soon

    We booked a table of 5 pretty last minute, it was our first ever visit. We were seated immediately. It did take a while for someone to take our drinks order, but they were busy. The food was amazing! I had beef roast my partner had trio, all meats were cooked to perfection! The roast potatoes were amazing. Big winner for me was the honey roasted parsnips as not many places have them on their roasts! The children enjoyed their meals. Was good value for money for 5 of us a meal under £100 is pretty rare with drinks etc so was impressed. Will definitely be returning.
