What Tina Tsambas likes about The Village Inn:
I just had my second meal in two nights at this restaurant. I couldn't find any faults with the food or the atmosphere. I will definitely be leaving a positive review and recommending it to everyone on the holiday website we often use. View all feedback. What Julie L doesn't like about The Village Inn:
Went in for a drink and decided to book for the Tuesday after new years, the lady took our details including telephone number all good, arrived on the tues and the pub was in darkness no telephone call to say why, no reply to my messages just outright rude surely you know you’re going to be closed so why take the booking? And to not reply! Will definitely not recommend this place View all feedback.

The Village Inn has recently reopened under new management, showcasing a stylish renovation that blends modern decor with a welcoming atmosphere. Patrons rave about the friendly service, with staff praised for their attentiveness and warmth. The menu offers a delightful selection, particularly enjoyed are the homemade Sunday roasts and diverse dishes like fajitas and Panang Curry, all at reasonable prices. The venue also features live music events, enhancing its appeal as a vibrant social hub for both locals and visitors. Despite some service hiccups in the past, the overall consensus highlights a promising new chapter for this beloved pub.
