What M likes about The Old Manor:
Amazing food, quick service, fair prices… Special thanks to Dominique who made sure every one of my needs are met, she added a great positive vibe to the whole dining experience! Will come again View all feedback. What Patabugen doesn't like about The Old Manor:

The vegan chicken roast on the website is outdated and not an options anymore. The feta is actually vegan (Violofe brand) but the Wellington not because of the pesto. It feels like the chef or other person who used to champion the vegan menu is no longer around,... View all feedback.

The Old Manor has received mixed reviews, with some guests disappointed by the lack of vegan options and confusion regarding menu items, while others have praised the classic English manor pub style atmosphere and the impressive 21st-century menu interpretation. Despite the limited menu and higher prices, many diners have appreciated the quality of the food and the attentive staff. Overall, it seems that The Old Manor offers a unique dining experience with room for improvement in certain areas.
