Stopped here on way home from Sheffield Park for lunch as the Bull at Newick where usually stop is closed for renovations. Well will go straight here next time as it is lovely. Nice size car park. When walk into pub get friendly welcome from staff. This is my sort of pub muted colours wooded tables nice tasteful decor, loads of clocks and amazing Bar Billiards Table. Nice selection of drinks choose from and there was a Menu and a snack one. We sat on more relaxed seating area although the more formal bit looked very nice. There is a real fire, not on today as really warm but worth coming back.
Had Wonderful Ploughmans and smoked salmon sandwich so fresh and filling. Xmas menu looks nice as does the main one when can we come back. Thank you lovely ladies who served us �
First visit today for a lovely Sunday roast! Food was amazing staff were pleasant and the place is lovely itself! Definitely recommend! We will return �
Nice drinks and tasty food.
This pub has great parking lots of space and easy access. There indoor and outdoor seating available.
I attend here for Ford Rs owners club sometimes so added a few photos of this.
Would recommend
We travelled 30 miles to this pub as they are one of the rare pubs to serve Hoffmeister lager on tap. We had great service and loved the food. The Hoffmeister in tankards did not disappoint! We will definitely be back. Might stick to a mixture of small bites next time to make room for dessert!
An absolute gem of a pub, great food, atmosphere and staff. I look forward to visiting again when I am next in the area.
Just had the most amazing lunch, food was divine, super friendly & brilliant service. Would highly recommend 🤩
The staff were so lovely and friendly, and most conscientious given that lockdown has only just started lifting for pubs. The battered fish was AMAZING, delicious and somehow buttery (in the best way). They were probably too generous with the chips!! Will definitely return.
Lovely staff Christmas dinner. We love this pub it’s is friendly and the food is amazing. Cater for my nut allergy and isn’t ’basic’ pub grub! It’s a real mix of Asian fusion and English dishes. Flavours are delicious. Would highly recommend. Annie the owner is so welcoming and friendly.
Not sure why it's not more popular. It feels as though if more people ate here they could afford to up the service. Still if you want to eat a pretty decent roast in a quiet atmosphere this is the pub for you.
The staff was extremely warm and friendly and lots of fun to chat with. The food was good and flavourful although the portion sizes were slightly to large for my own liking. I had the fish and chips and it was amazing. The menu wasn’t massive which I like because then I’m not conflicted between different options. I might try and win on the wings Wednesday and get the cash prize. Overall I really loved it and hope to go there again with friends.
We had a lovely Summer dinner sitting out by the play area. Our little one had a great time playing there whilst waiting for our meal. The owner &manager, Annie, went out of her way to assist us, especially with our various dietary requirements! All diets catered for! So kind. Staff were all very helpful and the food arrived very promptly. A well thought-out menu with some quirky touches. Our meals were delicious and copious and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Yummy desserts. Thank you so much. We will definitely be recommending The Piltdown Man to all our friends&family.
Came in close to closing on a Friday afternoon but they were very accommodating and still served us food so thank you chef. The food was outstanding, we had Tacos, Fried Chicken Burger, Curry and Fish & Chips, all of us thoroughly enjoyed it and we ate every last mouthful. I certainly want to come back and try some of the other menu items. They also have Camden Hells on tap, which is a nice touch. Unfortunately this was not available during my visit though.
