Had food from here was disgusting, cold and dry! Staff were lovely, however the chips were cold and rock solid and the garlic bread was hard and inedible.

Only stopped in for one on the way through. Clean and tidy with friendly staff.

It was boxing day so my friend and I did not expect to find anywhere to eat, we just called in on the off chance without booking. The carvery was amazing, the staff were so helpful and it was probably the best piece of Gammon I have ever tasted, what a great place and value for money.

Was 100% the worst Sunday dinner iv ever had in my lifeThe meat was like chewing on cardboardThey do not put lids or tin foil on the food when noone is there so everything either had a skin on it or was dry as anything.Wouldn't recommend this place to anyoneEven my pint tasted like line cleanerAnd to top it all off I have been being sick and had the runs all night

Came here for work.....WOWThis place is stunning, exceptionally high standard of cleaning throughout, the cleaning staff here should be commended... The kitchen although will used looks like new spotlessly clean !!The Halloween decorations are fantastic this venue has a huge beer garden with children's play areas and climbing frame... Huge carpark and a carvery deck.I wish this place was closer to home cause this is everything you could want from a local pub.Land lady was very welcoming and clearly takes a lot of pride in the place.What a beautiful place to spend a few hours and grab some me time with the kids.Pool table and sports for all round entertainment.Heated smoking area

Since it's been revamped and under new management it's amazing. The landlady is the friendliest pub lady I've met and she makes you feel so welcomed. We went for a carvery which was yummy, again the tall lady at the counter, cannot fault her, lovely with a big friendly attitude and smile, loved it! Bonus points doggies are welcome, there's a massive garden at the back too so plenty of space.

The young barman was great, welcoming & engaging...that's as good as it got!The 'regular' sized carvery was a joke! We stood waiting to be served for 10 min, a girl from the bar even walked passed us twice with desserts & didn't alert the kitchen before she went out for a vape or something, another, switched on, lady from bar finally asked if they knew we were waiting & went into the kitchen for us. The whole carvery was terrible, from the tough, dry, horrid roast meats (the worst roast joints I've ever tried!) to the soggy sitting luke warm veg, bullet peas, lumpy mash & gravy granule gravy....so disappointing & definitely not worth the price & glad we didn't pay extra for the upselling 'pigs in blankets'. As soon as we'd got our plates to serve our own veg the guy decided that was a good time to replenish the accompanying sauces so that meant we were left waiting again holding our plates!It doesn't take much to get a good carvery roast done well but don't go here for that experience! We were going to get take home puds but decided not to give them any more of our money! Shame on you The Mallard..we will never be back again after 2 awful meals there's no 3rd chance for our custom!Don't recommend any dishes.
