    Spectacularly beautiful traditional old pub with very friendly service, deliciously different options dotted amongst the traditional fare - so pleased to have discovered it - would highly recommend and will definitely return when next in the area.

    A lovely Harvey’s pub that has that untouched by time feel about it. The Old ale was top notch and the fish & chips were superb

    After a gruelling 7.5 kn mud filled walk with my walking members we arrived back at The Hatch. As we entered we were met with a warmth of the interior of the pub resplendent in Xmas decorations. There were seven of us in our group and we all enjoyed our main course some had deserts as well. We were looked after admirable by the Hatch staff and the food was of a very high standard. We all felt now relaxed after our morning ordeal.

    Fabulous lunch today. The food and service were outstanding. Not rushed in the slightest but attentive staff and perfect timing between courses and drinks. Definitely try the mince pie gin and ginger ale. It's delicious!
