Was Stevie M at The Bunk Inn a mag?
Very friendly and helpful staff. Had everything in place re Covid and made us feel very comfortable. At time of booking we had advised there would be two prams and they had arranged the most perfect space for us to be seated. The efforts they went to to make us and their other customers feel safe and comfortable was very noticed and much appreciated. Lovely food too!! View all feedback.

What Columbus Kuphal dislikes about The Bunk Inn:
I ordered a cheese board on a Thu afternoon at 18:10 and this is what I got! The menu states grapes with Chutney, clearly neither came! The person did not even apologies as obviously the Chef new what they were doing and not giving the customer what they wanted and just putting tomatoes on their instead is shocking!! And this was £12! I complained there was no manager, but a very young person clearly out of the debt... View all feedback.

Went for a late drink and a catch up with a friend after work 9ish beginning of the week to have a nice evening. Not so. The place was empty but we thought that's fine, but the nearer 10 it got the more uncomfortable we felt. First the background music was turned of. Then the t.v. that was on was turned off. Apart from sweep round our feet and turning the lights off.i think u get it. We understood it was quiet but we thought the place opened till 11. Anyway we left .I think by the time we got to our cars the pub was in darkness. I think this place has rooms too. I'd say stock up or get your drinks early. Or visiting don't after 9ish as your not welcome. Ruined our night. Shan't be coming back here .

Stopped coming here a year ago because of many issues, but reluctantly retuned early June to find the place had transformed back to what i remembered from years gone. Warm and welcoming with a lovely atmosphere. Everything was a plus the staff were so friendly one Emily in particular. We as a family thought new owners had taken over. As the management seemed different and to be fair the food was amazing. and despite the cost this was a treat that was truly worth it. We all couldn't wait to return. However fast forward a few months we all returned as a group to be so disappointed in the whole experience. The atmosphere we loved seemed to have disappeared and the feeling of warmth had gone. service was average but the food was so below par. we decided to ask why this had happened but was met by rudeness on a great scale by a young man claiming to be the assistant. Who claimed no one else had complained so what was the problem. No apology at all. We were goin to ask for a full refund but my wife decided to leave as she was too upset. The Manager came out as we left. too late if me and my whole party were concerned. I'm sure he was the Chef before, Perhaps he should return to the kitchen. This has always been considered a treat at the bunk what with the cost of living crisis. But myself and my friends will now spend our money somewhere else where you can get real value for money where people know what customer service and standards really are and your given that feeling that you would love to return. Here none of us will return and hope this review and experience may help others when thinking of treating themselves or using those extra pennies that are precious. Have no idea what is goin on here what a disaster. We all felt Cheated.

Great little inn with a lovely country vibe. The food was fantastic great value for money. Amazing steak for £19.50 I mean amazing, would have happily paid £35 for the steak. Unique batter on the fish chips which tasted gorgeous the fish was so fresh. Rooms are great, Nespresso machine which makes amazing coffee, dyson fan, nice character in the room all the standard amenities. Definitely will be coming back. Thank you to Emma Harvey for making my time here great,
