Second time at the Drake for a meal and excellent again. Each dish is well presented and full of flavour. If you are looking for a quiet romantic location with great food ambience and service, look no further, well done.

Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Reasonably priced. Cool staff and we asked for slightly off menu (Caesar Salad for main) and nothing too much hassle. We are going back.

Staff nice and attentive. Food very good. For what is reasonable pub food it’s too expensive and £5 for a pint! We enjoyed our meal but the venue doesn’t merit high prices

I chose the Drake because of the great experience I have had in the past and wanted somewhere for a family pre Christmas get together before my husband and I left for Australia. Decided to go for the Sunday roast as they are legendary. Roasts advertised on the website as on the menu from 1-9 on Sundays. Arrived to a cold and frankly unchristmassy venue. Ordered drinks - as designated driver I ordered fresh orange and lemonade. Only for the waitress to return and say there was no lemonade (there is a supermarket across the road! surely they could have bought a few bottles???). drinks delivered and we were asked if we would pay for them then and there - had already said we were waiting for other guests to arrive and we would decide if we would eat from the regular menu. Gave our order for food. I ordered fillet steak instead. Waitress returned to say there was no steak! Meanwhile my husband went to the fire to put coal and wood on it as it was very low - the place was freezing - only for the (I suppose) duty manager to rush up and demand that he stop what he was doing as the fire was too smoky! He and a member of staff then had a rather uncomfortable exchange and he proceeded to bang chairs around! Having cancelled the food order (immediately on being told there was no steak) we decided enough was enough and made to leave. The 'duty manager' came up and apologised. When I suggested they make their website clearer to reflect the potential lack of availability of said roast he became very defensive said the website did not state they were available 1 - 9. His attitude was very poor to say the least. Thankfully the waitress was very good and extremely apologetic. I have never had to write such a negative review of anywhere - never mind somewhere I thought had an excellent reputation. Never again - ruined what should have been a lovely family gathering.

Head chef changed within the last two weeks and the menu on the website had not been updated to the new one so we were a bit disappointed to find that we weren’t able to order what we hoped. We also found out at 7pm on a Saturday night that they had ran out of steak which seems far too early for peak season, this was disappointing.

Gastro pub with great atmosphere, excellent food and good staff. Pork Belly was superb as was the filo pastry dish. We had sticky toffee pudding and cheese and oatcakes to finish. Will be back.

Food just ok. Service poor. Menu little limited so feel it was bit over priced for what it was. Like the place, they just need to brush up their act a bit

Food was lovely as always and service was good. It was quite busy so food was a bit slow coming out but it was delicious once we got it. My booking didn't go through to the restaurant despite getting conformation email but they were still able to find us a space so it was fine.

We were a large group... good service, quick. I had a beetroot marinated salmon starter which was lovely. The trout special was very tasty but I expected a whole trout but only got half (not even the fillet, just the trout cut in two).

Good menu, good service, good food ! I had the delicious soup to start , my friends had the smoked salmon and scotch egg respectively - all great! Then I had the beer battered fish, friends had the Drake burger ( huge ! ) and the linguine. All the food was very tasty. Only wee complaint was the severe lack of prawns in the linguine. However would certainly recommend The Drake if looking for a relaxed meal
