We visited the Bat & Ball on a Saturday night and couldn't believe how quiet it was, particularly considering the quality of the food on offer. My wife and I both had the lamb and mint pie and were in agreement that it was the best pie/meal we've had I along time. The staff were attentive without being overbearing and the owner checked on us at regular intervals. If anywhere deserves to be a success, its this place. Fingers crossed they make a go of it.

Always a lovely welcome, menu has great choices only marked a star down as the sea bass skin was soggy not nice and golden crispy, rest of the food was spot

Family of 9 for Sunday lunch. Very warm welcome. The food was excellent with plenty of meat and a varied selection of vegetables. Nice children's menu. Dogs are allowed. Good parking. Definitely recommended and will return when next in the forest. Only a few miles from the Sandy Balls mobile home site. Affordable

Not being local to area, our friends booked Sunday lunch here. Old style pub with an up to date attitude! Great food and service, Try it! ?

As always, an excellent meal, friendly service and lovely surroundings.
Food was average. Starter was good which was Camembert but burger was quite disappointing as overcooked. The chips weren’t much good either. Staff friendly though!

I came here with a friend for fish and chips. I had 2 bits of fish and one was fine but the other was so overcooked and rock hard that I couldn't eat it. I complained to the server and heard absolutely nothing back. I guess the chef didn't want to address it or didn't care. It was £18 so I would have expected better food for that price. On the plus side the server was so lovely and friendly and made us feel really welcome. We have been coming for years but also had a bad carvery in October where the meat was undercooked and the vegetables rock hard. I gave feedback on this which again was not addressed. After coming here for years I will not be returning due to the standard of food declining.

Had a meal for 10 of us and it was excellent. The staff were very friendly and the food delicious. It was our daughter's 50th birthday and it was a nice family
