The Drum & Monkey

Good food and drinks great service and all at a reasonable price in traditional country pub surroundings.

The food was great! Lovely traditional pub with friendly staff.

Love this pub. Great food, great service and lovely atmosphere.

Brilliant visit - food great, banter witty and an overall super time

Visited today for lunch with my Husband and received a very warm welcome, the food, service and atmosphere were all perfect, this was our 1st visit, we will be back for more very soon :)

What a lovely pub with a great team looking after it. The food was okay, but we had expected much better based on other reviews stating 'Pie to Die For...'. Such a shame as just moving to the area we were looking for some local pubs to enjoy regular meals, and we will probably go back for a drink, but not sure about the food.

visited on a weekend having booked for the day time. Attentive staff and friendly but very dark and menu hard to read. Lacked little touches flowers etc . Food was lovely but the duck was quite thick so needed more cooking than usually considered for duck . Lovely choices . Fish pie needed more flavours and cheese but luke warm . Overall we would come again as lots of positives too ,

A really lovely place, staff were great. Enjoyed the food and although a large group the timings were very good.

Friendly and welcoming staff. There’s a lot of choice on the menu. Portion sizes are generous and the food is good but not amazing. The lighting in the area where we sat was awful - could barely see our food. We were also near the kitchen and sadly it did not smell good - very fishy, almost acetone.

Food is absolutely lovely! We really enjoyed the food. It took a long time to get it (over an hour) but it was worth the wait. The only thing we’d complain about was the bottom of the smelly dog that stayed by our table...we did ask for him to be moved and he was moved but kept coming back!

Wonderful staff & amazing food with great service. Many Thanks

great sunday lunch, great value, great service. your website crap

Amazing food!! Wonderful service couldn’t ask for better! Thank you!

Old fashioned welcoming pub with quite a varied menu with good choice of sides

Happy to eat here again. Good staff and friendly atmosphere.

Very good Sunday lunch all staff very friendly nothing too much trouble good atmosphere. We will be returning!! Thank you

First time for a Sunday roast and we were not disappointed. Lovely tender lamb, good selection of vegetables, nice home made roast potatoes and plenty of gravy! Fab service, very friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Very impressed with the quality of the food and service.

Good parking and good food with varied menu with specials.

Great Sunday lunch as always! Best for miles. Many thanks

Had a wonderful meal, service friendly and excellent, would recommend this restaurant

Loved it all. Great people - both staff and customers - wide choice and delicious food which was beautifully cooked and presented. A lovely birthday meal.

Very pleasant, well prepared fare, congenial atmosphere. We had the full 3 courses on Valentine's day, candle, log fire and cheerful service. Couldn't ask for more.

Visited the Drum and Monkey over the weekend for lunch with. Great food and made to feel very welcome by all the team we will be back !

A comfortable country pub to have Sunday lunch, good atmosphere and food. Set Sunday lunch was tasty but the toffe of the sticky toffee puding set hard when it cooled from its moltern seving temprture.

Beef was excellent but veg etc was a bit overdone. Service was good and staff pleasant and attentive. Not keen on dogs being in the dining area.

Had a fantastic Christmas meal with the family on Saturday night. Food and service were excellent. Followed it up with lunch on Sunday which was to the same standard. We were made really welcome. Thanks Liz and Team.

A lovely, traditional pub with very friendly staff. The food is delicious and plentiful. The views around the pub are beautiful. The staff were very attentive to my little Granddaughter.

Warm welcome and nice atmosphere. Vegetarian option for Sunday lunch was limited to one main dish and portions were on the small size for both main course & desserts.

You can’t beat the Drum.! We enjoyed a quintessential country pub Sunday Lunch. Always a friendly welcome and good food at very very reasonable prices. We will surely be back!

Very easy to book online on arrival staff and owners all very helpful. We were shown to our seats and in next to no time our food arrived. The food was well presented and top quality. All in all a great experience. Will certainly return soon. Great experience

Really enjoyed the whole meal, excellent customer service and the blueberry bread and butter pudding is to die for 😃 I would recommend this place to anyone

We were staying locally and chose to eat here on the last day of our vacation. We booked for 6.45. The landlord and staff were very friendly. We were surprised, given the time, that 5 things were already off the menu, plus a 6th (soup!) when we actually ordered. There was only one other couple eating. I ordered scallops to start. I like scallops. I know how they look, smell and taste. I cook them regularly. I had never seen scallops like these! Grey, shiny and tasting revolting with a soft squidgy texture. I ate half of one and the plate was cleared away as it arrived . Nobody asked if it was ok and having teenagers I know they hate parents making a 'scene'. The other starters were ok but did not live up to the ambitious menu. Mains were better but not great. Husband's steak was quite fatty and gristly. My fish was overcooked but tasted ok. We didn't have desserts as we were feeling quite deflated. I know we should have complained and we would have, had an opportunity arisen. We may just have been unlucky but I definitely would not eat scallops there again!

Great welcome by Liz and her very attentive team of staff. Good locally brewed beer, excellent food and great portion size too. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting or staying near Upton.

We had a wonderful meal in this lovely friendly pub. Four of us had different pies, all of which were wonderful. The staff were so welcoming and made us so welcome. A great country pub.

Wide choice of quality food, some portions were small though. A choice of small or large Fish & Chips was offered so large was ordered but disappointed with amount served up considering the price £11. Good portion of Faggots and Meat Pie. Overall good experience.

it was a monday and we booked quite late but the food and service were excellent. its a lovely pub with plenty of room outside to enjoy the summer sun.

The owners amd staff are great and so welcoming and genuinely please to see you!! The food is great, this is our second visit and already planning our 3rd and treating my parents!!

Lovely small classic British pub in quiet surroundings. Food was great, it wasn't cheap however for the standard it was priced correctly. They had a pub dog which is always a winner in my book! Staff were friendly and polite and prompt with their service. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

The service was excellent (friendly and hrlpful) and very quick. The food was very good and correct portions. The pub's location is also great for parking and being in the countryside, but close to Upton.
