Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Olde Dog Inn is a charming country pub offering "first-class" food and a welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the "friendly, efficient service" and ample menu choices, including vegetarian options. The outdoor area is especially lovely, enhancing the dining experience. While service can occasionally be slow, the "fabulous food" more than compensates.

    The Olde Dog Inn is the usual meeting place for me and a couple of former colleagues. Firstly, the food is great, secondly, the service is superb, and finally, we are always led to a table where we can talk amongst ourselves. We have been going there for a few years now and unless something changes we will continue to do so.

    Sunday lunch starters were great we all tried something we had never had. Pigeon, twister prawns and baked camembert. Mains Roast Beef you couldn’t choose your veg as we were told it was all mixed so you just had to pick out what you liked from peas, cabbage and carrot. Small pot on the plate of cauliflower cheese, roast potato’s and a Yorkshire. It wasn’t the best roast came up warm if you didn’t have gravy. The non roast menu was good wish now we had picked from that.
