What Lily Ellis likes about The Chestnut Inn:
Great original style country public house. Great atmosphere and well friendly. Also has a lovely restaurant serving genuine quality food. Well worth a visit for a quiet family meal and maybe a few beers. Very recommended. View all feedback. What Kerry Allen doesn't like about The Chestnut Inn:
Went for a meal here tonight. Staff gave the impression they didnt want to be there. Waitress took our order didnt bother telling us they had a steak deal on. We were told by the only other customer in the restaurant after we ordered. The food was not great. Ordered garlic potato as our side and we got chips in garlic butter. The only good thing was the Guinness. It was our first and definitely our last time there. View all feedback.

Went for a Sunday lunch, was nearly empty. Served quickly and politely. Food I had was amazing (the chicken supreme) and good for the money.

I stopped by and had two delicious steak meals for only £20. Definitely worth a visit. The staff were friendly and the interior was very clean.
