Best pub food I've had locally for a long long time. Beers decent too.
Beats where we ate in the Lakes last week by a country mile and then some!
Fantastic pub serving original and delicious food, and craft beers, lagers, and ciders.
Service was first class, food was so tasty, and portions were incredibly generous (I couldn't finish all of mine, and when I got back to where I was staying, two other guys who had eaten there said exactly the same thing!).
I've been told they're an award-winning pub, and I can see why. 10/10
Walked from the tranquil otter. Very cute pub, friendly staff, friendly patrons, and dogs of course!!! 🐕
Plus a great selection of UK beers (including sours). 🍻
Absolutely outstanding food & service. Passionate business is a successful business and these guys are smashing it on every level. If you want delicious, comforting locally sourced food, great portions at a fair price you will not be disappointed. 😁🔥👊
Excellent meal and brilliant service last Sunday. The vegans and veggies were well catered for too !
A group of seven friends staying in the local area and stumbled across this pub for a coffee. Booked for dinner the next day. It was spectacular! A huge selection of vegan and vegetarian options. The food was amazing. A lovely atmosphere and so friendly.
Does what it says on tin. A warm Welcome, friendly staff and great food. Pointed us to a great campsite. Rarely you find this kind of hospitality in this day and age. Dog friendly.
Called in at The Drivers Rest yesterday and was made to feel very welcome from the start, the staff are friendly attentive and well mannered, with out being intrusive.
The menu's are refreshingly different from a lot of brewery chain eateries, so the choice is very good. The food was well presented, well cooked and very tasty as well as well proportioned.
There is also a very good choice of craft ales alongside lager's and ciders
We will definitely be calling back to The Drivers Rest very soon
Lovely warm friendly pub and eatery.
Received a warm welcome on arrival, great selection of drinks and a good menu.
Lots of real ales to choose from.
Highly recommend if you're passing through the area.
Fantastic Country pub, Good beer and excellent food. A very good vegan and vegetarian Charming informative locals even if their geography is off - sorry paul from kent. The staff are chatty and courteous and obviously like working there . The owner is a fervent supporter of the local economy and farms.
Can't praise it enough but the phrase "welcoming country pub" fits
