Shocking service and totally unacceptable manners by a owner never again to be visited makes you wonder how they survive.

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast. Can quite honestly say the best we have had ina long time. Plentiful choice of meat and vegetables. Large portions. Friendly, hard working staff, cosy atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Lovely welcome warm friendly village pub. Great choice of meats and plenty of vegetables to choose from gluten free Yorkshire and gluten free gravy. Cannot ask for better worth the distance travelled. Superb

This lunch was booked by a family member but when we said to others where we were going they expressed surprise which turned out to be fully justified. We arrived a few minutes early and although the pub is tiny (very tiny), it was almost empty which seemed odd for a Sunday. We were shown to our table and our drinks order was taken by a young lad who was reasonably polite, obviously didn't have any experience. Also, it was the first time I have ever been served by someone wearing a full football kit!! He soon returned to say they had no Rose wine. A pub with no Rose??!!! We were gruffly summoned to queue for the carvery. I chose the Turkey, which consisted of two pieces, each well over half an inch thick and was 'carved' and dumped on my plate without a word. The vegetables......! I'm not quite sure if it was swede or sweet potato but it was loaded with so much pepper it had us all choking! The runner beans were barely cooked and the roast potatoes had a very odd taste like old chip fat and were barely edible. I am sure they had been deep fried as they were extremely greasy, rock hard and not pleasant at all. We ate what we could but even before all of the party had finished eating the young lad started clearing plates which I asked him to stop. We then sat there with empty glasses and eventually asked for the bill. We asked for the bill to be split three ways on card payment which seemed to cause major confusion. We ended up going back to another pub for a couple more drinks. There was no acknowledgement from the staff as we left - very unprofessional. We all commented that we had a very greasy/oily taste in our mouths which you certainly should not have after a roast dinner. We definitely wont be returning and should have heeded the warnings about the food and service and cancelled but we will definitely not be returning.

Lovely old building, really nice country pub, a rare thing nowadays. Brilliant landlord, friendly staff, good fresh ale and a Sunday lunch to die for. 10 out of 10.
Perfect place for my boys 18th birthday lunch. The staff were lovely and really helpful.Kid-friendliness: Beautiful atmosphere ?Parking: Was allowed to park right outside front doorWheelchair accessibility: No problem for a wheelchair.

Checked opening times on website, before driving 8 miles to the the Fat Landlord for lunch. It was closed. Nobody answered the phone. Messaged , but no response. Looked a bit derelict anyway, so maybe I got lucky

This is the third time we have visited The Fat Landlord and I have to say, when we first went there, it was delicious. However, the second time we visited, although the carvery was tasty, it was only luke warm to say the least. Giving it the benefit of the doubt, we thought we’d give it another chance and, to be honest, the carvery was again, Luke warm at best, the meat virtually cold! In addition, the plates should be kept hot when hot food is put on them, but again, they were stone cold Overall, it’s a damn shame, as the pub itself, is really nice and the staff are friendly and very attentive. Sadly, we won’t be returning, which I feel, is such a shame
