The Vale Cottage

been going to the Vail for forty years been good been bad been good again.Then it hit the bottom.The cook decided to stop the Sunday dinners BAD IDEA customers vanished. Our second visit on Sundays in to weeks since the new owners took over Went on Sunday 21/04/2024 Sunday meals were very good The pub was full of customers having Sunday dinner.Some old faces coming back some new faces trying for the first time bringing Sunday dinners back GOOD IDEA. Went back on the 28/04/2024 pub still full of customers eating Sunday dinners our group also had Sunday dinner food was good. One little niggle some of the plates were not hot witch cooled the food and gravy down. The cook should know better. Apart from that good to see the pub so full.

Excellent local pub. I've been coming to this pub since the mid to late 80's. It's a top quality traditional English pub that appeals to older clientele. This is not a place where you will be alongside a group of rowdy young people, it's just not that kind of place. It's a place to sit with friends and have a good conversation over a few drinks. Once inside you could be forgiven for thinking that you are in a small village in the middle of nowhere, it's that kind of place.
