Pleasant dining area with attentive staff. Food generally very good. Very tender steak cooked just right. Crab souffle was very nice although the main course portion I had was identical to the starter portion my friend had albeit with a bit more sauce and some new potatoes so didn't seem worth the extra cost. Will probably go again. Would definitely go again if they took American Express.

Booking worked well. Beautiful village setting. Large car-park. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service and a great 'Specials' board. The liver and bacon was exceptional! Thoroughly recommended.

Lunchtime visit, second time we have eaten here,certainly a let down on this occasion. My wife had calamari but it was undercooked and all stuck together, very pale and rubbery. I had the coronation chicken salad, far too much lettuce with no other salad items. Hand cut chunky chips just about ok. Poor experience! J&J

Despite passing The Fountain many times this was our first visit and we were pleased to find friendly staff. A comfortable and relaxed location with lovely food at reasonable prices. We will definitely return.

Everything about the Fountain is great. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is there and the staff are the best. They dont ask about how your meal is until you have at least got through part of your meal which happens sometimes, they are polite, friendly and very good at what they do. The food menu is not huge but there are always specials and I think this is why the food is always cooked perfectly. The miniature desserts are a bonus as I am usually full but I can fit one of these in.

Nice environment and atmosphere - really nice food. Only small downside was the fries served with the burger were just lukewarm . Would definitely go back.

Very enjoyable evening, food was excellent and service was very good. We often go to the Fountain as it is dog friendly and we love the bread and garlic butter!

2 starters returned as uneatable, waitress response was rude. Kept waiting for sides with main meals, which meant they were not hot when sides arrived. Disappointing as had always enjoyed meals at the fountain in the past. Will not be eating there again.
