   I had the aubergine burger which was really hard to eat. Much prefer a veggie burger. The humorous was delicious.

   Amazing food and service. Great that they change the menu - now on the autumn menu. Steak was perfectly cooked and the blade of beef was superb. As always the chunky chips are a must

   It was just OK Nothing to write home about as the chips were not triple cooked, fish was nice though . Rather expensive, noisy and excited kids on nearby table. They had a party going on at same time hence noise at front largely from band. Not worth the distance and would probably not go again.

    We have been several times before to the Bear and Ragged Staff and have enjoyed it every single time, unfortunately this evening was not the same experience. We booked a table for 1900, we waited a long time for a drinks order and to even be shown the specials board. Then our main meals arrived around 2045. Very slow service on both food and drink this evening, this was surprising considering the main restaurant was not busy. We discovered at the end of the meal that there was a very large private event on and also walk ins being accepted. It would have been nice to have been told after booking in advanced that a large party was also booked in. The service unfortunately didn’t live up to the standards which we have previously experienced.
