We were always greeted with a friendly smile, the table service was excellent and the food divine. Good quality, genuine home cooked, food. Couldn't fault it. Despite being in our 'senior' years we felt safe with the covid procedures in place. Good socially distant tables. read less

In this new world of strange, its comforting to see all the levels of safety in place. Instructions in the door way for track n trace, hand sanitizer and all staff in face shields with tables spaced apart
A drinks order was taken at the table and promptly arrived, and menus explained
Our waitress took our food order, and was polite and professional, and returned with all the condiments and cutlery and a basket of bread
Starters arrived in a timely manner, and looked great. I had the Salt & Pepper Squid, and my wife had the Bharji, both where very tasty
Main course has never let us down here in the 21+ years I've visited, and even with a little mix up with my TBone didn't disappoint. I usually have the fillet but fancied a change this time, so ordered the 16oz TBone, and as ever, the meat was tender and tasty. My wife had the Cajun Chicken which looked good too. Chris has a great butcher I think
I had a dessert, chocolate fondant
Can not recommend this pub enough
Thank you for a lovely night read less - John07/10/20

A couple of drinks later and we ordered from the specials menu and with trepidation ordered the steak and mushroom pie. Some may despair of pies offered in pubs what should be traditional hearty pub fare often presents in a pastry case containing gristly grey meat in an insipid gravy..... NOT SO HERE!!! We were presented with a substantial plate of an an absolutely superb pie, full of lean and tender meat topped by a sumptuous flaky pastry all accompanied by a trio of vegetables and thrice cooked chips.
On food, friendliness and service I can only rate this restaurant as excellent, thank you for making us so welcome and feeding s so very very well ice read less - Jody970106/10/20

On entering the details for completing track and trace information were clear and hand sanitiser available too. We were shown to our table by a really friendly member of staff and given disposable menus. The beer was great as always and I picked food from the specials menu. Walnut battered Brie was one of the best starters I think I have ever had. My husband and son were having difficulty choosing between their favourites on the regular menu and both decided on the gammon which they thoroughly enjoyed. All staff either wearing visors or face masks and willing to help with anything we needed. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening in a safe and friendly atmosphere. Thanks for all your hard work in these challenging times. read less

The pub is a very traditional style pub with beams, decor and tankards as you would hope to find in a country pub. Now for the food... Absolutely superb!! Lovely choice of home cooked meals. We had 2 x roast beef, 1 x roast chicken and 1 pie meal. Ample choice of veg served in tureens with cauliflower cheese and 2 jugs of delicious gravy. Could not fault it at all. The staff where friendly, with nothin being too much trouble. Landlady very friendly, has owned the pub for over 30 years and you can tell as a lot of investment has gone into making this such a homely, friendly place to eat. Thank you!! read less

They all try and pretend to be something they aren't. Well this is a proper pub. It is cosy and comfortable with the fire roaring today. The service was great and friendly. The menu was varied including a good childrens menu. All the food was home cooked - great quality and good size portions. A nice range of ales as well.
We also felt very safe - all the necessary precautions in place for Covid.
We really need to make sure we support these traditional pubs during these difficult times. Well worth a visit. read less - birgiss20/09/20

We have 2 young children and wanted to eat fairly early so we booked in for 6 pm. As we were a large group I happily paid a deposit for the booking, a necessity in these times as so many businesses have ‘no shows’ which have a huge impact on them.
We arrived on time yesterday evening and were greeted by friendly staff and shown to our table. Drinks order was taken and brought to us promptly. The menu choice is amazing, plenty to suit all tastes. Adults all had starters and the children’s meals were brought out with our starters. Food also arrived promptly and was delicious. We were all full after having starters and mains so only one dessert for the kids (a huge marshmallow sundae). The evening was relaxed, we weren’t rushed at all and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend the Abbey Lodge and if we visit the area again we’ll definitely be back there to eat. read less - Gail12/09/20
