What TrevorB likes about The Poacher's Pocket:
This was a surprise. To find a place new to us of this quality really did please us. They are simply doing everything right and the menu made our Vegan happy too. Well done and keep it up. Highly recommended. View all feedback. What JennyPNE doesn't like about The Poacher's Pocket:
We popped in for a drink after a day of exploring. Whilst enjoying our tasty beers we had a look at the menu. Everything looked so tasty we asked if they could squeeze us in for a couple of starters. After a full look at the menu we decided we had to have full dinner! View all feedback.

Despite some initial concerns about the front of house staff and COVID-19 safety measures, The Poachers Pocket offers a delightful dining experience. The food is consistently delicious, with a diverse menu catering to all tastes. The service, once seated, is excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Sunday lunch, set menus, and award-worthy dishes showcase the talent of the chef. The overall experience is relaxing, enjoyable, and highly recommended for anyone craving top-quality cuisine in a friendly environment. A must-try, especially for seafood and game lovers.

Would highly recommend. Had the scampi. Was the best scampi I ever had. Came with salad chips and mushy peas. Great value for money. Service to none.
