The Old Thatch

Great food & service. Lovely pub. Can’t fault it. Highly recommended.

We have used the Old Thatch a lot over many years as we live very close and were impressed that it is back up to standard again after some troubled times. The food was good quality but we went on a busy day (Fathers Day) so the carvery had sold out by the evening. The service was excellent and our guest that we took really liked the place. We will be back to try again.

We got off to a sticky start as the table close by kept opening the fire door and it was a bit chilly The staff moved us and couldn't be more helpful food was excellent.

Good menu, but nothing really for bigger kids. The kids menu was aimed at very young children, my 11yo struggled to find something she wanted. But the service was very good. And a nice atmosphere at The Thatch

Visited with family after winning 2 free main meals in the quiz. Hadn't eaten there previously but really enjoyed the food and the service was good too. Will definitely return for a meal again in the future.

We found the soup was luke warm and all the main courses were overdone. So much so that my mum thought that it was pastry on top of her lasagne instead of pasta. We also found the restaurant very draughty.

The Carvery was excellent with a good selection of veg and crackling to die for .

Excellent food, friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Very happy the old Thatch has reopened great food/Service great welcome from the new landlord we will be back 😋😋

The black rock grill was absolutely amazing. Friendly staff very nice surroundings.

Great friendly service with good food. Traditional pub with good parking.

Had the Carvery, lovely food and great service! We’ll be back!

Lovely table , welcomed with free drinks for our 25th wedding anniversary , amazing meal , starters carvery and dessert with happy anniversary piped on to the plate nothing was to much trouble , thank you so much we will return

We went with friends to celebrate my wife’s birthday and we had a very enjoyable time. I sent an email the day prior to our visit requesting a birthday cake. I enquired on arrival, as I had not had a reply, and it was discovered that the email had Ben received but with ‘no text’. That was not a problem, the manager went out to a local bakery and purchased a birthday cake for me and saved the day. You do not get that everywhere, if at all. This was our first visit but will certainly not be our last. Thank you a million.

Went for Sunday carvery and it was fantastic, meat was amazing! Our daughter had the children’s cod and chips and ate it all up and to our surprise hers was free to celebrate the new kids play area.

Good place to enjoy friends’ company in a congenial atmosphere.

Friendly staff, lovely carvery and to die for hand made desserts

Great food and amazing staff. Bonus entertainment too. Cash Converted

The food was really nice and the staff were very good. They also had live music that finished off the night lovely

Excellent service and very good food.Good presentation. At 21.00h live music started.Where we were sitting it was fine but when we had to go across the pub to go out it was deafening. Good value for money.

We had a really lovely meal. We chose vegan steak just for trying something different, and it was very nice. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good beers.

Incredible, couldn't fault a single thing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The staff are so kind and welcoming. We will all be returning and recommending to others.

Fun night including a great meal and we won the weekly quiz as well.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was very nice.

Very cosy, friendly staff, good food, delicious desserts. Plenty of parking

We went on a Thursday lunchtime, and therefore only a few tables taken.

A family meal and we had a great time. The food is always good and the service is excellent. The atmosphere is great. I can’t recommend it enough.

Excellent food, great pub and brilliant staff. All round 5 stars

Nice food and excellent service and would definitely go back .

Fantastic meal, attentive staff, overall a really lovely evening we will be back!

Memorable welcome, superb service and excellent food experience. Susan of Christchurch.

Great place Enthusiastic service This is my second visit and once again me and my partners weren’t keen on the food . This time was the cavery, everything dripping in grease and veg unwashed so gritty ( this has been the case both times I’ve visited and with different dishes ) . Also stone cold within 20 seconds of serving. Otherwise it may of been a nice cavery as far as caverys go. My partner couldn’t eat his unfortunately.

Great food, great staff, we’ll definitely go back there again

Great food and service thanks . Love the black Rock cooking

Disappointing visit. Noisy as it was quiz night - our mistake as we didn't realise the amount of background noise this would generate. Item from the specials menu that 2 of our group wanted to order was not available. Dish containing chorizo sausage was overcooked and dry. Chorizo was burnt ( I think the fashionable term is caramelized !) and whole dish would have benefited from a sauce / gravy. Seafood grill contained a piece of salmon, 2 prawns and a leathery piece of haddock . Chips were soggy and fairly tasteless ! However the battered fish was tasty as was Hunters Chicken. Puddings were expensive at £6.25 for very small portions. Sticky toffee pudding was more like cake, very dry and appeared to be lacking any toffee sauce. Only sugar free drink available was diet coke. Don't think we shall be returning in a hurry even though the price of the sticky toffee pudding was deducted from the bill.

Warm welcome. Good menu. Good quality food. Good value. Thank you.

Amazing Carvery! The meat was perfectly cooked and the servings were generous. Desserts are from the main menu and very tasty!

Amazing food with great service at an affordable price. Will 100% be back when we are next down this way.

Great meal today. Thanks for having us! Lovely stuff Proper job Let’s be having you

Had an excellent lunch, all staff friendly and extremely helpful. and food was exceptional.
