Lovely warm atmosphere , attentive staff , hot food and family friendly . Perfect restaurant for everyone wanting a quick bite to eat �

Getting back on track with reviewing!!! We've been to The Hornet three times now and the quality and value for money is excellent. I never really expect too much from a chain pub, frozen products, microwaved to within an inch of desiccation and average service, but The Hornet has exceeded those expectations and become a regular on our list for when the hunger pangs strike. Our first visit was a Sunday, about a week after it first opened its doors, and we were in need of a good roast dinner. We chose to sit in the over 18s area (essential if you have a low tolerance for screaming children) and when we arrived it was just starting to fill up (opens at 11, we arrived at 11.30) but within about 15 minutes, the place was bustling and very busy. We ordered a big plate Sunday roast (beef) and a burger and the meals arrived promptly and with a genuine smile. My plate was huge! Thick slabs of tender roast beef, crispy Yorkshire pud, scrumptious roasties, veg (cauliflower, carrots and beans) unctuous gravy and condiments. Very very tasty, well cooked and utterly satisfying. MrZ had a massive burger that he ate with gusto and the bill with 2 drinks came to just over £20. Bargain! Our second visit involved another Sunday Roast (one large, one small for our guests) a Bombay Bad Boy burger for the hubby (lamb and mint topped with a bhaji) and a Mild or Wild burger for me (I went wild!). Again the meals arrived with hardly a wait, were well cooked and super tasty, and the bill was under £40 for 4 people. The third visit was a table for 6 on a Friday evening (the only space was in the kids zone...boo!) the place was stupidly busy and my urge to slap lots of childrens legs was reaching it's exploding point. Our food took over an hour to arrive (we got apologies eventually) and they had messed up on the steak order, sirloin instead of rump. However it was delicious. This time we had ordered a mixed grill (massive and meaty) chicken skewers with cola chipotle sauce (mmmmmmmmm) cheese pie (fabulous) and the obligatory MrZ burger (yum) along with the steaks (cooked well and juicy). All in all, it's a good place to go if you want unpretentious, tasty food at an incredibly reasonable cost, in a friendly and informal atmosphere. Now what are we planning for this weekend....?

Food alright good improvment from before had fish and chips and was charged £1.19 for a slice of bread common hornet you cart be that desprit for money over than that we had a lovely meal from the 2 for £10.99 menu

It's been a while since we visited this bar and restaurant. It's been totally refurbished and to a very high standard. Plenty of seating inside, seating outside including a play area for 4 to 10 year old (approximately) Cheap offers on drinks and meals, the menu is comprehensive with deals for both children and adults. I have to say everything we ordered was perfectly cooked and delicious. Everything was delivered to our table at the same time, which made our experience all the more enjoyable 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Great service, warm and friendly staff, the manager is polite and welcoming. The mega breakfast was excellent in both taste and value. We live near the venue and eat here regularly, Never been let down and the Sunday dinners are great.

Booked in for a family meal and we were 12 or 11 people. The food all came out at the same time and was piping hot. The staff was very friendly and managed to put our birthday cake in the fridge which was very kind! My food tasted a bit bland tho
