Arrived at 5.55pm on a Tuesday evening to be told we couldn’t be served as they didn’t have enough stock to serve us. He didn’t even ask what we wanted or see if he could accommodate us for food. Seriously nothing left ? Suspect it’s because we had a baby in a pram.

Cannot fault the Pollards Inn for a fantastic service and superb food. Friendly and welcoming staff at all times.

Lovely pub with a good selection of beers and great food. Go often with family and friends for Sunday lunch, evening meal or just a drink.

We were there for a family birthday meal for 15 people. The food was excellent and the staff were helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend The Pollards to anyone. Excellent

Had Sunday lunch here for 5 adults, very friendly and attentive staff, quite busy in their second sitting (1.15pm) but a busy restaurant is a good sign. Good selection of roasts to choose from, came very quickly with good portion sizes and loads of veg, desserts were good too, nice food, good service and value for money, with wine the bill came in under 3 figures for 5 of us! People just won’t believe me back down south!

Attended for a family get together with a party of 12 split over two tables (tried to book this size of party before and told by the manager that they don’t cater for this size of group; yet a party of 12 or two tables of 6 is no different), so felt lucky to get in until there were issues. One member of our parties food arrived wrong and was just left on the table (a replacement was sent out after nearly everyone had finished) and a chicken dish was prepared with blood veins running through it so therefore was left due to chicken been a dodgy meat, and when complained to the waitress, the manager was sent for who tried to explain that every chicken breast has red veins running through it but these had been probed so would have been suitable to eat, which I didn’t feel was the professional from a manager to an unsatisfied customer regarding food hygiene and safety. There was no apology or remediation for the inconvenience of the potential dangerous chicken so therefore, will not be returning or recommending and will be looking for a better setting for our special occasions.

Table booked for 1.15, arrived at 1 to be advised not ready, asked again at 1.20, informed previous diners hadn’t vacated assigned table (restricted where we could eat due to having a dog with us, hence booking). Sorted in another few minutes. Once seated order taken swiftly & food arrived even quicker, we all opted for the small pork & thank goodness we did, it was more than ample with 2 Yorkshire puddings & an insane amount of vegetables consisting of swede, carrots, cabbage, mashed potato & mushy peas with choppy salad mint sauce (divine) & loads of gravy, really hot, very tasty & no room for dessert which was just as well as they’d sold out of most items on the menu, great food at an excellent price, really pleased with it & as I write this review 7 hours later, can’t face the prospect of anything else to eat!

We arranged a mid-week evening small family get-together here recently (just 18 of us!) and had a great time. The food was excellent, and despite the large number of covers we were served in good time. It helped that most of us pre-ordered the day before, but even so the service was still impressive. All our servers were friendly and welcoming, as well as being kept busy.! Thanks for helping to make this a memorable experience!

Visited last night as a family of seven for a birthday meal and was very disappointed that Pollards did not live up to its reputation. Service was incredibly slow. Waited over half an hour to order then another 30 mins for our meal. At 7pm on an evening they had already ran out of pie and pork which meant that 3 of our party could not have our first choice and in one case second choice. Fillet steak was over cooked and tough, beef stroganoff was chewy with an unpleasant aftertaste. Obscene amount of Luke warm chips were the only accompaniment. We ordered 3 drinks and then after waiting for ten minutes had to seek out a staff member to remind them! The only time that service was quick was when we asked for the bill which was brought straight away along with the card reader so we didn’t have time to check it. £1.60 for half a cordial and soda! £3 for half a lemonade! Even though they were all charged as a pint! Certainly not worth the cost and spoiled a family celebration! Will not hurry back.
