I booked a table for 9 people, on Wednesday for tonite, (sunday) so plenty of time, it was to celebrate my daughter and nieces birthdays, they had my phone number, we got there on time and were told they didn't have any chips (which the kids wanted) and only a few steaks, so we had to leave, it would of been nice to of had a courtesy phone call about this, it was very disappointing, just lucky we found somewhere else and we're able to have the steak meals we wanted and really enjoyed it.

Wonderful food, friendly service. Went as a four, absolutely excellent food great selection on the menu and a large specials board. Three had the fish which was very well cooked and presented, one had the wheelwright burger which was huge and very tasty. All round excellent

Absolutely superb Sunday roast here! Roast chicken was a large breast quarter, my husband had a really tasty beef. 5 veg, homemade Yorkshire puds, lashings of rich gravy. Most importantly, it was served piping hot - I can't stand food which arrives just warm, then you have to bolt it down in a hurry before it gets cold. Well done, chef! As well as excellent food, the pub had 3 good quality real ales on tap. The roast lunch price was a couple of quid cheaper than another local pub. Highly recommended!

Wasn't sure what to expect as it looked a bit unloved outside but a warm welcome from the landlord and an excellent meal. Would definitely recommend.

Great restaurant with very friendly, welcoming staff. Not the cheapest, but we were happy to spend a bit more for such great quality food and excellent service.

Booked for 8 adults 4 kids aged 2 to6 and a 1 yr old. Still here as i write this. Fantastic food. Amazing hosts, couldnt do more for us from joining tables to supplying a bottle of milk for the little one. 6 stars if I could.

My friends and I had an amazing time in the pub. The landlord Rob made the whole experience even better. A 30th birthday we won't forget. 10/10

Had lunch here several times during our recent stay. Food always good, with varying specials available. Service is always efficient and pleasant.

Guess the chef was off the night I was there as my confuit duck was not good. The whole dish was reheated except the asparagus which was cold in the middle. My roast sweet potatoes were a watery mush. Worse than the food was the waiter's reaction when I remarked I couldn't eat it and explained quietly why not. In a loud disparaging voice he told me in the 4 years he'd worked there no-one ever complained about the duck. The small room fell silent as he walked off. No apology and left my food on the table. He did eventually come back and take my order for chips which were lovely.

Just had an excellent meal at the Wheelwright. We asked for a couple of changes to the menu and nothing was too much trouble to accommodate. Fabulous friendly people too. Wish we were not leaving tomorrow as would definitely return. Thank you for a lovely evening

Made a last minute decision to come here on the way back from our holiday and we're so glad we did. Lovely atmosphere as soon as you walk in, absolutely loved the interior along with the thatched roofed bar. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Plenty of options to choose from but we decided to go for the vegetarian roast and the chicken and wild mushroom tagliatelle. Will hopefully be coming back soon!
