What User likes about The Half Moon Pub:
The food at this restaurant is amazing and the ambiance is perfect for a country pub. Even my 85-year-old mom agrees, saying that the fish and chips are the best she's ever had! View all feedback. What Trip585690 doesn't like about The Half Moon Pub:
Six of us arrived after a long hot walk around the countryside. My friends know their beer and were well pleased. Lunch from a comprehensive menu was delicious. Well cooked well presented. We were told that the landlady was doing the cooking and the landlord doing the washing up. Nice to know who is in charge. Smashing pub in a delightful setting. View all feedback.

The restaurant offers good food, with standout items like the blackberry and apple crumble. Some find it slightly expensive, but the house red is a good choice. Service is solid, although table positioning can be problematic for larger groups. Overall, the experience is decent, but there are better options available. Friendly staff make for a welcoming atmosphere, even accommodating a group arriving after a ride. The fresh, home-cooked food receives high praise. While the service can be lacking at times, the meals are delicious and well-presented. Situated in a perfect spot, this pub offers a nice selection of food with friendly service. A Sunday roast was a hit, served quickly and hot with friendly staff. The garlic mushroom starter is highly recommended. The overall cost is pleasantly surprising. A return visit is guaranteed.
