So we arrived to a table set for three. We booked six weeks earlier for our family of six. No apology and after several minutes they rearranged a table. We had booked five Christmas meals and a meal of the main menu. The lady very abruptly came to the table and said what do you want ? We said we had booked the Christmas meal but we were told we had only booked two Christmas meals. I was working Christmas Day so this was our family Christmas Day dinner booked many weeks early by telephone for the 23rd. The lady severer was nothing but rude and dismissive. Absolutely no Christmas spirit or general Politeness. Eventually we were informed we could have what we wanted two of our party had turkey three had beef. It was the smallest portions I have ever seen. Two roast potatoes which looked like one half of a potato cut in half. A plate of veg to serve five adult portions. The server gave us death stares throughout our meal. My husbands and sons beef was extremely Salty. Needless to say we didn’t stay for desert. We gave the young boy a tip. He had been polite and kind throughout. It’s our local pub but we would rather travel out of the village than ever eat here again.

It's not often you have a Sunday roast, so good you have to leave a review. Better than any roast I've ever had. I'd give it 6 stars if they'd had some bread to mop up the tastiest gravy in the world (they may have done but my partner wouldn't let me ask!!). Can't wait until next week!!

Lovely staff put ten fresh Sunday lunches out with only one tiny mix-up, professionally handled. The food was high quality, enjoyed by all - but the cauli was crunchy and someone's parsnip seemed to have escaped the oven altogether. We'll be back ?
Staying local in an air bnb, we are so happy we came across The Hartley. We walked our dog, Teddy, at lunchtime down the canal and popped in afterwards for a drink. Decided to return this evening for dinner. Exceptional food, great value for money and as cosy as can be. We will be back!

First time I’ve been to the Hartley in years. Now under new management and we were very pleasantly surprised. Lovely warm welcome from bar staff, great service, great food (Highly Recommend the Veggie Brekkie), Lovely location just beside the Shropshire Union Canal. If you are looking for a traditional village pub, don’t think you could do better than the new look Hartley!

Popped in for lunch whilst on a canal boat holiday and discovered this gem of a place. The lunchtime food is fabulous, the beer is great and the staff are lovely. I would definitely recommend this place.
