The Pledwick

Great pub for the summer months. Has a massive beer garden with loads of room for the kids to play. An excellent terrace that you can sit and enjoy a decent pub grub meal. Good beers on tap, lots of friendly staff and handy for a walk around the dam if you are so inclined. Only issue we’ve found is that food service is pretty sporadic. We go here a fair bit and every time we come there’s a different set of rules in place. This time we went on a Sunday and they stopped serving food at 16:00, so we had to go elsewhere for food. Last time we went they had vegan pizzas on the menu and when we tried to order them we were told they didn’t have any vegan cheese and rarely did, order a pizza without cheese and it came out with cheese on and they still charged me for it because I hadn’t specified that all the cheese should be left out. Other times they’ve been great dealing with allergy requests, being really helpful and the chef coming to talk about the specific requirements to ensure they got it right. Just a flip of a coin which Pledwick is doing the food when you go.

First ever visit today despite living not far away. Girl on service was lovely and very attentive. I had hanging kebabs which were tasty ( a little sauce or garlic butter on the side would have completed the dish perfectly. My partner had the ‘Best pie in the world’ and he said it was really good too. We will definitely be back.

Went fir a sunday lunch. Food was lovely service was nice. Decent portions. I had the beef which was lovely and plenty of it. My companion had the nut roast as is vegetarian sadly that was the only option for the sunday roast for vegetarians. Only fault was the lack of cutlery. Dish of vegetables to share between 2 people but no serving spoon so had to use our forks to dish out the vegetables, which wasnt the best way to get the vegetables onto out plates. we also ordered a portion of cauliflower cheese each but sgain no serving cutlery so had to use our for again. Not good when one is vegetarian and one a meat eater. And difficult to get onto our plates. Desert we chose the brownie, it was quite a large portion. Certainly not dissapointed it was lovely. Prices a little steep but the food was nice and portion sizes were good. We only called on on spur of the moment so hadnt booked a table, it wasnt a problem at that time but i qould recomment booking a table as it got really busy a bit later on. All in all well worth a visit i would say.
