Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Owl offers a delightful dining experience with "exceptional food" and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is dog-friendly and boasts attentive staff. While the menu is "of a very high standard," choices may be limited for non-meat eaters. Some guests noted slow service, but the charming setting compensates.

    I’ve eaten here before and the food was lovely but this time I took my family for a roast dinner for a birthday celebration and the food was poor. I saw someone else’s plate of food (roast) with what looked liked boiled potatoes on it so I then added the crispy rosemary roast potatoes as a side as I like a good roast potato with my roast dinner. Sadly what we got was far from crispy, I’ve never eaten such awful roast potatoes before, it was like a boiled potato in a soggy cardboard skin, the side order of potatoes was exactly the same as what came on the roast dinner also. My family commented how poor they were, the rest of the dinner was also average with a minuscule amount of bread sauce, chicken was on the dry side, Yorkshire not great and veg was so so. I ended up leaving all the roast potatoes on my plate. I will add being close to Christmas they were very busy so I am hoping that is why the food was not good, the service was fine. I will never go back there for a roast dinner but will try again from the normal menu at a time when they aren’t likely to be so busy.

    Had a very good meal when The Owl first reopened. The festive menu was a bit disappointing. Generous portions of meat but would have liked more variety of vegetables. Had to ask for our starter as it was already pre-booked and after half an hour of sitting at the table, there was no sign of any food! Our servers were nice, polite and helpful when asked. The pudding was a bit disappointing too. Hoping the normal menu will prove a safer bet in the future.

    Had a lovely lunch and catch up with our besties at this pub. Have visited there many times and have never been disappointed with the food, service and ambiance. It’s quite expensive but then where isn’t, so very happy to recommend this venue as a great place to meet friends and family.

    Familiar with the Owl for years. A re-curb brought us back after previous disappointments. No discernible improvement in comfort or furniture. Service at mid-week lunch was interminably slow. Food very average overall and two pies were over-cooked. Celebration meal so no complaint made to spoil the moment. Very disappointing and will not return on this showing. Meal and drink prices acceptable.

    Brilliant from start to finish. Particularly good food. A cut above pub grub. I’m going back and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Owl to my friends

    What a great place , we were a party of four for Sunday lunch, and what a lunch, it was first class and very reasonable too, would recommend to everyone, but would advise to book your table.
