I was very disappointed with the roast lamb dinner today. I was unable to cut the meat it was so tough and stringy. The meal overall was tasteless very disappointingThe staff and atmosphere was very good but the food was a let down. The meat was left on my plate when collected by waitress and I explained that the meat was inedible but nothing was said. I did not make too much fuss as my grandson booked this for me as a surprise for Mother’s Day.

Crowded, and I think our fish had been sat under a heat lamp for a considerable time. Dry and tough. Disappointing.The pub was verybusy and is obviously popular so I think we must have got them on an off day....

Excellent food and real ales from local and regional breweries. We all went for the fish and chips.

A party of 6 booked for New Year’s Eve. For £35 a head we had 3 courses, fireworks at midnight and a disco until 2am. The food was excellent, a simple menu, sharing board to start, choice of beef or salmon for main and a trio of desserts. Could not fault the food and service. Excellent evening, thanks to everyone involved.
Fabulous lunch/christmas dinner lovely atmosphere , staff very nice and helpful , empty plates at each course , nothing seemed to much trouble, catered for GF & DF , Will definitely be going back .

Had a really average Sunday roast today. My mum's home raost so much more flavoursome, I am reminded why I rarely risk anyone else's. Seriously you cannot charge £18 for ropey roast potatoes (zero crisp, more like the frozen variety, maybe they were!!), tasteless veg apart from the red cabbage which was the most flavoursome thing on the plate and an average tasting, nearly over-cooked, Supreme of Chicken - drop the supreme, it's irrelevant and there is nothing supreme about it. How about a richer gravy, how about some lovely herby stuffing, some cauliflower cheese? My mum had lamb, she said it was a bit tough. And our friend agreed with the general assessment apart from the sticky toffee pudding which she really enjoyed. Yay. Dessert - the chocolate mouse and accompaniments way over sweet and regrettable now, some hours later. And sorry to be on such a downer but service was mediocre and robotic too. Zero finesse. Talk to me, look me in the eye when you speak to me, don't turn and walk away at the same time as saying, 'have a good afternoon'. It means nothing. One of the party, said, oh they're young. They were, very, but if they are keen and trained properly it doesn't matter how old they are. And noone said goodbye on the way out when we walked by. Two big parties used the next door table twice during our time there and it was very hard to hear our own conversations, made harder for older folk, even with their hearing aids! Times are tough for everyone, it's pricey to go out so it needs to be quality all round if I'm going back. That said the place was busy so maybe we just expect a higher standard than some. I have worked in the business, have chefs in my family so I am not speaking without experience.

The Montagu Arms catered our 60th birthday celebration lunch for 70 people at the adjacent Village Hall. We cannot rate or recommend it too highly - Ian was a dream to liaise with (absolutely nothing was too much trouble), the food was superb - tasty, hot, efficient and fuss-free. Dietary requirements were hassle free and our guests were without exception enormously complimentary. Thanks to The Monty, our event was a huge success. Thank you!
