Great service, lovely clean pub with a good range of beers and a nice relaxed atmosphere. The meal was cooked really well and the ingredients were of a high standard.
What an amazing place!! Never fails to impress and the atmosphere is brilliant
Fantastic Sunday lunch a great drinks menu and friendly helpful owner/staff 5 stars ⭐️
First visit here will definitely be going back. Lovely food, staff and atmosphere
Pleasant, informal atmosphere & interesting and tasty food with good service.
Fantastic food, great atmosphere,great front of house/staff. Would highly recommend
The food was just fantastic! Great menu, can't wait to go back and try something else. The only very small negative was we felt a bit pressured to order. We had to get the kids menu choices sorted first then we could look for ourselves. However we will be back :-)
The staff were excellent as was the food though the portions were such that I could not manage a dessert.
Great menu changes according to availability of ingredients. Fantastic food and very friendly service. Well worth our trip over from Wirral to meet up with friends half way from Ripley, Derbyshire. Will visit again.
Fabulous food and great service. The roast beef was meltingly tender as was the Hardwick lamb - a great Sunday lunch!
Was first visit, perfect lunch in beautiful location, highly recommend.
Have visited many times to eat and always enjoyed the food . I always recommend to friends .
Good service, good food, good value. Will try to go again.
Great food and a good atmosphere on a Saturday evening.
This was our first visit to The Sutton Gamekeeper. It rebranded from The Lamb four years ago. We were recommended to go by friends
4 of us had dinner, scallops starter ; delicious, mains rack of lamb, excellent: curried lamb pie, super! Definitely will repeat visit .
Delightful lunch, excellent food, very convivial atmosphere, we will definitely return!
Lovely and imaginative food fairly priced. Despite being a Tuesday evening, it was very busy and the staff woked very hard. We enjoyed our evening there.
We will definitely become regulars at this restaurant. Can’t wait to introduce this place to our out of town and overseas visitors
pleasant evening dining with well-cooked good food from a well-varied menu
Poor choice of lunch menus. Chilli on top of pineapple was not listed on the menu and my brother in law is allergic to it so wasn't happy. No apologies given. Will not be returning.
Lovely food and drink, always a great menu with fresh local produce
Great place to eat , all the family enjoyed the food and drinks
Excellent food as always, staff are very friendly and welcoming
Food and atmosphere very nice! Service a bit slow but the local was full...so I can understand
Thoroughly enjoyable lunch for two. Food excellent as was the service. No complaints whatsoever
Beautiful pub, stunning food and amazing attentive service would definitely recommend
Nice atmosphere.Lovely food.Friendly service.Would definitely come again & would highly recommend.
Lovely food. The live music was too loud. We didn’t know there was live music when we booked to eat here. It would have been nice background music if it hadn’t been so loud. We left as soon as we had eaten.
Lovely food, nice ambience, nothing too much trouble for James and his staff. Starters of pigeon and chanterelles were wonderful, as were the steak and beef short rib mains. Sweets tremendous too! Really enjoyed it and will be back!
Blew us away! The starters in particular were an incredible surprise and out of this world. Cannot recommend enough. We will be revisiting regularly especially as it's only down the road!
Excellant night, good food. There was a large very noisy shooting party in but they added to the friendly atmosphere. The staff were particularly good, very friendly, helpful plus, despite the bar being busy, always remembered our exact drinks order refills.
Fantastic food ! A family run business who care about food & more importantly care about the quality of produce they bring in. A good sign of a good pub is when the landlords own wife & kids are also eating in the restaurant. The menu is mainly game which is locally sourced by a local gamekeeper, (so not for Vegans) but saying that, my friend was a Vegan, I phoned earlier to explained their is a Vegan coming for a meal, they were very accommodating & prepared a beautiful meal. If you are a Vegan & have an issue with others eating meat in front of you, this is not the place for you. I do not eat much meat myself as supermarket produce is poor quality & mass produced, but when eating out after a 17 mile hike & local Game is on the menu I go for it ! It’s good quality local produce that’s honest. To the Vegan who gave a damning review....... 1. If you had checked the website menu before arriving you could of then called to ask if they could arrange a Vegan meal or if that does not suit you, put your Vegan walking boots back on as their are plenty of places to eat that will cater to your requirements. These country pubs struggle to survive, we should support them, especially when they go to so much trouble to care about the quality of food they serve to hikers passing by & the local community. 2. what’s wrong with venison burgers for kids, better for their health than a Mcdonalds ?! 3. The name says it all, SUTTON GAMEKEEPER ! Get over it ! It’s a great Pub !
Excellent Food, Great Quality Ingredients , Really nice atmosphere, Friendly attentive staff. Open Fires and Resident Dog to boot. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys good locally sourced produce.
Another excellent meal and great atmosphere. We are looking forward to your next event which will be the game evening later this month. Thank you Sutton Gamekeeper
Very welcoming environment and the food is fantastic. Have visited here quite a few times now. Will definitely be going back again. Highlight for the other half is Boss the owners dog.
Fabulous food. Will definitely return. Very hard to chose from the great menu.... I had the most delicious scallops, followed by beautiful medium rare beef, and managed to squeeze in some rhubarb ice-cream. 😍
My friend and I really enjoyed it. She is vegie and it would have been good to have more vegetatian options. The only thing suitable on the menu was not available but upon asking, she was offered an alternative. The turkey I ordered was succulent and well cooked - as were the accompanying vegetables. Very nice staff. This is my "local" and I am pleased it is on my doorstep!
The food here is amazing, quality produce cooked to perfection. It's not average pub grub, the menu has obviously been properly thought out and uses seasonal ingredients. Cosy inviting interior, excellent service and friendly staff, can't fault it.
Excellent food - Best Sunday lunch in the area. I would definitely recommend the beef / sirloin. The service was great as well. No complaints
