The four of us really enjoyed our Sunday lunch here. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was great. It's not the largest of pubs, so seating can be a little compact, but it's a pleasant space and atmosphere nonetheless.The only thing I would fault was baby changing facilities and toilets. Toilets were a little small and not very clean, and I had to occupy the ladies' toilet to change my baby on the edge of a large sink, which isn't ideal.Food was great, I'd definitely recommend!Vegetarian options: The mixed Vegetable roast is fantastic. Large portion with plenty of roasted vegetables.Wheelchair accessibility: Small doorways and steps within the building. Probably not very suitable.

Lovely food for a nice local gastropub.From start to finish service was good, price was fair for the quality we got.Would certainly come back again for lunch or a dinner meal in the near future.

Great place to eat! We had food for lunch on a Wednesday (7 people). Food is tasty and service was great!

Visited twice now - great lunch and really tasty Sunday lunch! Service is also fab, as we have a little one and they’re always very helpful with him! We will be back for sure.

We booked a dome as we had family in town and wanted to make it special. We were looked after by young Jonny who went out of his way to give us a memorable time, so friendly and attentive, he really made the experience great.. The whole meal was a triumph and we will keep coming back there as it simply is a great experience.Try the dome experience, it's worth the £25 and if you're lucky to get Jonny as your server, you won't be disappointed.

We had a Surprise 60th Birthday lunch here for my husband. There were 14 of us including 2 small children...the area we were given, the layout of the table, the staff, the food, the atmosphere, the whole experience here at this lovely pub was exceptional...I cannot recommend enough! Thank you all so much we couldn't have asked for more...Will definitely be back! Thank you.....Leigh and family xx

A wonderful milieu! The other side of the pub was really bright and a wonderful creeper wound its way through the ceiling. The service was good, the food excellent and affordable, and a special plus from the children's menu. Children's portions are shown in the picture.

First time visiting The Merry Fiddlers, for a family 60th lunch. I'm not local to the area, though most of the family are...what a fantastic place! From the moment we walked through the door, we received nothing but smiles and wonderful service from each and every one of the staff, and were made to feel very welcome throughout. There were 14 of us, and everyone had a great time. The food was sensational, and the portions extremely generous. As too, was the complimentary pre-starter. I personally didn't have a starter, but from what I saw, they all looked and tasted beautiful. For main, I had the roast lamb and was not disappointed. Great idea serving Best End instead of traditional slices from a joint. The meat was succulent and so full of flavour. Complimented by a huge selection of perfectly cooked vegetables and a huge Yorkshire pudding, again perfectly cooked. Roast potatoes to die for. Even though I'm not a "big eater", I tirelessly worked my way through the whole thing. Hands down, the best roast I've ever eaten. And I'm a fussy one, when it comes to roasts haha! I know that I speak for everyone in our party, that there was not a single grumble about anything that we ate or drank. A rarity these days, especially with my 84 year old Dad along for the ride. He loved it! Thank you, from all of us, for the perfect experience. You were all so very patient with us, nothing being too much trouble - it was definitely worth the 4 hour round trip, and I hope to return again soon. Wonderful staff, wonderful atmosphere and wonderful food!

Lovely early Sunday dinner-nice to be able to get a roast later in the day. As always, great food with nice little touches inc. free pre appetiser, offer of extra gravy, sauces throughout the meal etc. Very considerate towards our fussy teen. Nice to see our local pub consistently maximising on new opportunities and doing them all well-take a look at their website. Friendly and family-run.

A beautiful, homely old pub with great service. We didn't have food, so cant comment on that, but the drinks and the atmosphere were great!
