Having met at the Ash Tree we decided it would be an ideal location to hold our wedding reception.Joe & his team was brilliant at stage managing our event & decorated the tables etc with our colour scheme for our wedding with the bits & pieces we had supplied.Our day went off without a hitch & the food & service was exceptional.We were & did not feel pressured to rush through our time spent at the Ash Tree.The waitresses were lovely in letting our group reminisce on old times & obviously new times with the wedding.All in all a fantastic atmosphere & we spent 5 hours approximately in the Ash Tree.Both Lewis & myself cannot express our gratitude enough to Joe & his team.Thank you so much & see you again in 2024Mr & Mrs HowlettDietary restrictions: One of our guest was catered for sympathetically due to illnessParking: Ample parking at venueKid-friendliness: Although by no means young children approximately 10 years of age they were welcomed & treated with respect

Grace has been a superb hostess for us tonight. The food was delicious, and she went Above and beyond. Thank you for a lovely night.

Been in a few times over a matter of months & the ALAWAYS need more staff!! There was one waitress for the whole pub yet again today.The food was so so. Had to send one meal back because it was wrong, along with other mistakes.Real shame as it's a nice pub! Fingers crossed it can back to what it used to be!

We were a party of 5 (2 of which are over 80 with 2 diabetics ) arriving at 13:20 for 13:30 Christmas Lunch. We were seated right away. No one advised us about drinks. Do we wait to order or go to the bar? Our starter came out straight away. Which was delicious. By 13:40 starter was finished so I went to the bar to get drinks. At 14:30 we still hadn't got our main. We had to tell the staff 3 times. I went to the bar to get a 2nd round of drinks. The poor guy behind the bar was quite stressed. He handed me a pint of San Miguel, as he did so it caught on the drip tray and spilled towards me. He got a towel to mop it up. I took it off him to help him out while he poured the rest of our drinks. When our mains finally arrived it was nice and hot and very tasty. When we finished our main the time was 15:10 bearing in mind we only have the table until 15:30. We were all getting a bit stressed out wondering what would happen if the time went over. The desserts came 15:35. Although the staff didn't say anything about leaving, while we were eating the dessert the staff came and collected the plates of those who had finished while other were still eating. As soon as we had finished, we felt pressured to get up and go. This upset my stomach as my meal hadn't had time to settle. The food was absolutely lovely and the poor staff worked really hard. I think the plan was over ambitious as serving times were way off.

First time here and I was really pleased by the atmosphere here ! Food was amazing and the staff really nice! The lady that looked after our table, Lily, she was really nice and always there when we needed her! Thank you Lily and we'll definitely come back again!

Great Christmas games night tonight, gutted we couldn’t stay until the end. Georgia was a fantastic host, she was clear on the microphone and patient when asked to repeat things. Smiley and informative. Thanks for a great night, see you next year!

Breakfast with Santa- sold as visiting Santa in his grotto, music and dancing and a delicious breakfast. Non of this occurred.No one came to take our food order, had to go and find someone. Once food order taken sat for an hour with 3 really hungry children as well as myself and husband. No music, no dancing nothing!!!. Santa sat in a chair by the bar!Had to go and find out where our breakfast was past 11am. Arrived and was awful! Probably the worst food I’ve tasted ever, looked like boiled bacon, everything was cold. We ate it because we were so hungry.Really poor service, really poor food, and spent £40+ for this diabolical non experience.We will not return.

I always like to go here because they have a good gluten free range, they are knowledgeable about what’s in their food which really puts your mind at ease. I went last week with my mum and little boy after his birthday celebrations and the waitress Annie was absolutely lovely as are all the staff but she noticed it was the little ones birthday and got him a bowl of ice cream with some goodies on top as an extra birthday treat. I couldn’t thank he enough and the little one was over the moon. Annie you are a super star!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: They have a wide range of gluten free meals and desserts.Kid-friendliness: They have a machine and an outdoor play area. The staff are also very welcoming.

We came in early, but there was no problem seating us straight away, the food was quick and delicious, the service was homely and personalised. We come here for our cast meal every year and can't wait to come back again!

The waitress Annie served my table and she was incredibly polite and had a lovely sense of humour and a bouncy personality she treated me and my partner with such respect and she made us feel very comfortable , highly recommend this place and if you needed to ask for anybody ask for Annie! Lovely place and very homely.
Lily (server) of The Ash Tree was amazing! Super friendly and accommodating.We didn't wait long for food and she checked up on us. The food was great! Highly recommend!

We visited Ash tree twice before, think it was buy one get one then, and sat outside as it was summer time. Though we were expecting the old menu, we were not disappointed, food was good, staff thoughtful. Will still return ?

Great service from Lily who was friendly and courteous. Food was fine for the price. Good for a family evening meal or a quick bite to eat.

We had the Festive menu for 3 of us. The food was amazing and everything was cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were exceptional and in fact we couldn’t believe how much food we were given as there was even enough for anyone with a large appetite.There was a very pleasant atmosphere in there, made better by their Christmas decorations. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, especially our waitress, Summer, and nothing was too much trouble. The manager also got involved, helping with the serving of food etc.Overall, I couldn’t fault anything. Everyone went out of their way to make sure our Christmas lunch was perfect. Many thanks to everyone involved
