Nice looking pub/Resturant.Quiet at time of visit only to be expected inbetween Xmas and new year,Party of 6 including two children.Two of us requested ribs that were not available.We then selected our food and waited for our starters that arrived promptly and very good quality. The main Courses took a long time to arrive and again the quality was good and well presented. This was our first visit as we have just moved to the area and will visit again but feel that you need to improve getting food from the kitchen to the tables otherwise a first class experience.

I was looking forward to this evening as I had been told the food was good. Unfortunately having arrived at 6pm hit sit down at 6.30 I was still waiting for my main course at 8.30. It was served cold and so I sent it back with a very disgruntled waitress. She came back with another plate which I refused as most people of our group were finished the dessert. I was told I would not have to pay for my main course by our group organiser. But unfortunately have been informed that the group were charged for my meal. I rang and spoke to the manager who was rude to me saying she personally played my food and it was of best quality and I was not told I didn’t have to pay. A rude and arrogant landlady I will definitely not visit this establishment ever again. I should have read the reviews on here beforehand.

This place is great. We had sumptuous dinner and a few drinks. Staff are friendly and always helpful.. we will definitely come back here soon. Highly recommendedVegetarian options: Lots of food to choose from.

We're might have been unlucky, but we didn't have a good experience. The food took an hour to arrive. When it did arrive, it was pretty poor. The chicken burger was dry, probably because it had been waiting whilst the other food was prepared. The pies were tasteless. On the positive side, the staff were nice.
Popped in for drinks but got hungry so ordered some food (only had some light bites) food was amazing, everything made fresh to order which made the wait worth it (it wasn't even a long wait, had popped out for a quick cigarette and my food was ready when I got back)! Staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is beautiful! 5* definitely returning, quick shout-out to the lovely lovely Matt behind the bar who was just amazing! He makes the best cocktails!

Well maybe we should not have come here for a family meal on a Saturday night with a 6 year old but we did.....it was awful. We arrived slightly earlier than the time we booked for and were told to pick a table. We ordered as soon as we could as it was close to the 6 year olds dinner time. Just 4 of us in total. It took over an hour for the meals to arrive and the 6 year olds was last with the wrong items, they took them away and returned around 5 mins later with correct meal. I was lucky I chose a burger but the 6 year olds chicken dippers were awful, I thought she was being picky so tried one - it was tough and chewy - husband reckoned that it had been sitting around ready for a long time being kept warm. Another family member had a chicken burger with the same problem. The place wasn't even full as we had booked an early dinner, we could not believe it as this was our 3 visit - the other 2 being perfect. 3 burgers and 1 childs meal - 8 drinks but only 3 alcohol and 1 was a glass of water and we paid £80! Also the language around a 6 year old made me wince. I never want to be in this place again. We thought we had found a local gem after our first 2 visits but sadly this was so bad. We always leave a tip when eating out but not this time, we will probably never return.

Good location and atmosphere but the food is lacking, worth visiting for a drink and some snacks. The pub is pleasant in the summer with the garden and cosy in the winter.

Avoid the Fish and Chips unless you are on a diet. The fish was small and staff said that was all that they had. The fish was the size I would expect on a young child's meal. Although the staff were friendly there was no attempt to provide a remedy or discount.

I attended a funeral wake at the Wyvern.The staff were very polite and responsive and had everything ready when everyone arrived.There was a vast selection of excellent small eats laid on.There was also tea and coffee available for those who didn’t want to drink alcohol.A very personal service was much appreciated by everyone.There is a large car park which would normally be ample if everyone parked between the lines (3 parked outside the lines causing loss of 3 spaces. One driver actually parked diagonally across two slots.Inconsiderate parking, not the Wyvern's fault.
Had roast dinner which was so bad we were unable to eat it! Roast potatoes rock hard but when managed to break into one was mushy on the inside. Carrots were burnt. They forgot stuffing and the peas. Had to ask for gravy as they forgot to put that on. Greens were stone cold and the rest of the meal was luke warm. When advised they were well sorry shall we take it away. Asked for a refund and they said only 25% for food that even the dog wouldn’t eat! My advice is do not go there to eat!

I'm a local person and I have visited the Wyvern many times. Unfortunately my family evening meal out was disappointing, the service was average, the atmosphere was poor and the language in the background with various youngsters was appalling. The food was acceptable but the rib's were full of fat and the slaw was an afterthought. This issue was reported but the staff member who then had a chat with the chef, the response was they are all good quality meats. I beg to differ on this occasion. Prior to attending the establishment I check the menu on the internet, price's and menu listing was different to that of the restaurant menu, he'll of a change. The bill was over £110 pounds and the family I was trying to impress felt very let down. Recommendations will not be forthcoming. Sorry but I've always been impressed with the place.

Lovely place, really polite attentive staff. The first meal I ordered was very poor, ribs which were a plate of fat. I sent it back, the chef said they were all the same which is why I questioned why they even cooked and served them, however the replacement meal was very good and the ataff dealt with the situation very apologetically and politely.Kid-friendliness: Nice playground
