The Shakespeare Inn

Had a lovely time. Lots of attentive staff and a nice atmosphere. The food was fantastic. I’ll go again.

Probably one of the nicest curries I have had in a long time. We did book a table even though it was just for two of us, but glad we did as it was rather busy. Easy to do online on their website. Choose date, time etc. There is a car park at the back and if you can't get on their, a public cad park just behind that. Really nice warm welcome by a younger lad. Gave us menus and came by not long after for drinks order. Lovely lady came and took our order and I asked for recommendations. She was really helpful, as I wanted to try something different but similar to what I liked. We ended up going for the wild card Mango Chicken Makhani and a Chicken Tikka Masala. Both had pilau rice, shared a naan bread and we opted for the loaded tikka chips. Food arrived and it was delicious! Portions sizes were just right. Both had two drinks. I'm currently pregnant so only had soft drinks but my partner had two pints of ale. Came to just over £50. Honestly worth every penny. We will even drive to collect a takeaway next time we fancy a curry, rather than trying someone more local. Will definitely be back!

brilliant atmosphere, brilliant staff, brilliant food, just a great place to go and eat. Best curry in the area.

Went for lunch didn't realise it was Indian food but I was happy as I really enjoy Indian food had the mixed grill sizzler really tasty and came out quick, service friendly really enjoyed it!

Recommended by the hotel reception as the best for Indian food. Hotel reception were kind enough to book a table for us and it was only seven mins away from the Hotel by car. The car driver was on the dry so I could drink. Nice and cosy inside and the barman pointed out our table in an L shaped area. He brought the menu and I gave my drinks order and the driver was on sparkling water. I ordered a double measure as UK measures of spirit are much smaller than Irish. The coke came from a dispenser and he gave a large glass of it to go with the short. This guy serving us was on the ball however I could not say the same for the other two behind the bar as I ordered another drink from the female bar person and I had to go up after several mins to remind her. However the guy that served our first drinks took over and brought my drink over to the table. The other two behind the bar were more interested in flirting with each other than doing their job. We had chosen our food from the menu and it arrived. We set about eating as we were hungry. At this stage it was 8pm and as I only had a burger at midday, I was nearly ready to chew the beer mat when the food arrived. WOW. Fabulous. Chicken cooked and spiced to perfection which was soon demolished. Waiting for the main course three Indian guys came in and sat in the corner table. They ordered beer and started going through the menu. From this I knew we were in a good restaurant. Why ? There were five Indian restaurants in the town and they chose the one we were enjoying. Well it got better for our mains arrived and I was ready for another drink😃 Well guys,the food was just fantastic and the drinks situation had got better as the good barman kept an eye on me and served promptly. I ended up getting 5 drinks and the driver had two waters. The bill 56 pounds. The only downside! I would have had a couple more drinks but they ran out of Bacardi. 😟 Would never happen in an Irish pub. Ah well, I suppose we can blame it on Brexit. 😂😂😂 Rating. 5 Star on food, but 3 on bar service..
