Running Horse

When we arrived, we were advised it was a 45min wait for food as some large parties in & checked that was ok, which it was. When we ordered, the chap at the bar also let us know the wait time and checked this was ok. We appreciated the up front honesty, it set the expectation. I asked for the children’s pasta to be 2 portions but in 1 plate, for our 10yr who didn’t want to feel like a baby ordering on the kids menu. The staff were super accomodating of this request & it made her feel grown up and not “different”. This was so important to her and I’m really grateful for this easy request to be accommodated when so many other places would have said no. When the food arrived for the rest of our party, it was over cooked steak. However, it was quickly changed without any quibble. We were very appreciative of this. We could see it was busy when we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. The lovely manageress offered us free deserts to apologise. Your staff were polite courteous and accommodating. Thank you so much.

The place is spacious and great for family & friends meal. The food is good too. Excellent choices of pub food. The staff were nice. However, I experienced an incident in the past where a broken glass was in my drink thinking it was ice. Just be careful when you ask for ice and lemon on your drinks. The drinks are cold enough without ice. It could just well be an isolated incident. 🤷‍♀️ I didnt ask for a refund or a free meal or a free drink because I was more concerned of my safety and others at that time. I obviously informed them about it. They looked at me, confused and confounded of what I just told and showed them. They apologized and obviously gave me a new drink (without ice this time.😄) We are still going there to have a meal but I dont have ice in my drinks anymore.

Excellent service from all staff. Made to feel most welcome especially Hugo the dog!! Food was well presented, very tasty and good sized portions. Two members of our group had the Cowboy burger and said it was the best burger they had ever had. Will definitely come back again when we are next in the area. Thank you so much.

Food is ok, reasonable fare for the price, not much of a vegetarian selection, but fairly typical. Dad always has the gammon, I alternate between 3 vegetarian dishes. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. I like that they have a family area, but three machines selling tat with flashing lights to attract children in the small child area is not really appropriate. The grab machine is just bound to upset children, we watched a child with autism get really upset because of it. The wall activities are ancient, but our toddler likes them. It wouldn't hurt to invest in some other activities.
