Description

Nestled in a charming locale, this restaurant offers a blend of experiences that vary widely. Diners rave about the delectable Sunday roasts, featuring tender meats and fresh vegetables, while others find midweek meals lackluster, with dishes sometimes feeling pre-prepared. Service holds a mixed reputation: some patrons celebrate attentive staff who go above and beyond, while others recount frustrating encounters with miscommunication and limited menus. Despite a few inconsistencies, the warm atmosphere, friendly service, and quality meals keep many returning for a delightful dining experience, suggesting a better focus on the weekend menu could enhance overall satisfaction.

We recently hosted my Uncle’s wake at the Horse and Chains Pub with around 35 guests in the restaurant area. The staff were amazing, very accommodating and laid-back. The pub was cozy, clean, and spacious enough for our group to socialize. The food was delicious, plentiful, hot, and a great selection, all served on time. The bar service was quick and efficient despite the crowd. The venue had everything we needed, including parking and both indoor and outdoor seating. We are glad we chose this venue and will definitely be back as locals. Vegetarian options were available and dietary restrictions were catered for. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

"The Sunday roast at this charming pub was excellent. Although it was a bit quiet, I actually enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. The beers on tap were good and the beer garden was nice. I will definitely be returning. The car park is small with limited spaces, but there are free parking spaces on the road opposite. The average price per person is around £30-40. I would give the food a rating of 4 out of 5."

Great pub, great food and a friendly environment. There was a live singer on when i visited and made for a really enjoyable night.. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a great night out.

Went for Mother's Day lunch at the Horse Chain. Was very disappointed with the menu as it was a very small 2 course set menu which we were not expecting. We were expecting the full menu. I went for the roast lamb, but was very disappointed with the food. My daughter and son in law when for the chicken. They were happy with their meal. We felt as if we paid so much for this. If we knew beforehand that it was going to be a set menu, we would not have booked this place. I could not recommend this. The place was also really cold and was not busy at all.
