Last minute booking. Busy restaurant. Told in advance of 45 minute wait for food. We happily accepted this as we booked late. However wait was only 20 minutes. Food was great, hot, tasty. Staff friendly and efficient.

It's the first steak my husband has had in a while where rare has come out rare. Really enjoyed our meals, though some might have thought a tad loud was our type of music so we didn't mind at all. Great friendly staff. Excellent all round.

This week my friend had a burger ... all good, hot and tasty. I decided to have a change from the quiz pizza deal and chose the superfoods salad with chicken, bacon and mango with a side order of skin on fries. The fries were good, crispy and hot. The salad was tasty but incomplete .... no quinoa or sugar snap peas and no mango!! Thoroughly enjoyed the meal but when I mentioned the omissions to the lady who appeared to be managing on Thursday evening she said she didn't know what the kitchen had in stock! Surely if it's on the menu it should be in stock and if you've run out that should be notified to the customer at the point of sale (the till) so that there is an opportunity to revisit the menu. Always a good meal, lovely food and good service but sometimes the standard slips.

Nice food, hot and tasty. Good service too. Not a wide choice of dessert if you don't eat strawberries.

Viewed the menu online and it looked good, so booked a table. Was then disappointed to find on arrival that they were running a reduced menu for Bank Holiday Monday. Service was slow and food was average at best.

A busy night at the Racehorse so had to wait a while at the bar to get served. Pizza was hot and tasty but salad was disappointing just a lot of mixed leaves and onion .... one piece of cucumber and no tomato!

This was my 3rd visit and although I love the place and food, this time service was very miss mash. I prefer it to be 0ne service person and then they can know what they are doing.. If more people serve each person leaves it to the other, therefor we got too much time between each course. The restaurant was not that full to make that the excuse. Still it will not stop me going again soon.

Very friendly staff. Bit of a wait to be seated. Food was not bad, I had lamb with roasted sweet potatoes and mediterranean vegetables, with a mild jerk sauce. Tasty enough but too much sauce for my liking. Cheesecake dessert was delicious.

Poor service. Waited over an hour after ordering for the food for it to be served. Witnessed three other tables walking out due to poor service. Food “ok” but nothing to write home about!

Nice meal - can thoroughly recommend the hunters chicken which I had and the katsu chicken which my friend had. Both tasty and hot. Unfortunately my friend ordered the cheesecake for dessert but, although she was served cheesecake, it was not the one on the menu - shame she wasn't told at the till that they had run out of the one on the menu. Soon remedied with a no fuss refund.

We visited The Racehorse for my Dad's Birthday as both my parents have visited twice before and enjoyed it. Safe to say I doubt we will be returning after the experience we just had! We arrived for our meal on time and was shown to our table straight away from there on nothing was on time...it took 10 minutes before a waitress came to take our order for drinks and then when we finally ordered it took nearly 50 minutes for my brother's starter to arrive when we were told it had been sat on the wrong table! Turns out it wasn't very tasty anyway so he wished he hadn't bothered ordering it! Then the mains came out 1 hour after ordering and they weren't hot plus it took another 5 minutes for the vegetables to go with our roast dinners! All of our roasts were disappointing to say they least my chicken was so small I thought it was a starter and my Dad's was tasteless! We were never asked during our meal how the food was once which was also poor. We complained to the waitress and she said she would see what she could do and £10 was taken off the bill by the manager who then apologised for our experience and asked what he could do to help he offered a free meal on the house next time we visit but nothing in writing so we would have to chance our bets that he would be there if we came back and also him remembering promising this to us. Doubt we will bother as it ruined what was supposed to be a nice family Birthday meal and the wait times and poor quality of food and service were abismal!

Unfortunately long waiting times, missing ingredients in salad and food over cooked and dry. Waiting staff very pleasant and tried to make up for shortcomings.

Bar staff was great, unfortunately the food took way too long, we sat down at 7:30 and ordered straight away, the starter came at 8:15 and the main at 9:10. A ridiculous time to wait for food, we sat outside to be in the sun and by the time we had our mains it was dark! A shame because the bar man was really friendly and the gins he served us were presented brilliantly.

Very disappointing. Extremely poor service meant we had to get our own menus and drinks from the bar after waiting 20 minutes for someone to greet us at the table - they didn't. Then we had to go again to the bar to order our food as we still hadn't been acknowledged at the table. This was 35 minutes since we arrived, to then be told they had run out of pizzas and there was a further 35 minute minute wait for the food Needless to say we left at that point whilst hearing other tables complaining about the service. We had a lovely meal at the Fourpenny Shop and Hotel where they couldn't have been more welcoming.

We booked a table for 19.00 we did not get our food till 20.30. We should have been informed on our arrival that there was over an hour wait. I appreciate that it was busy but we were not kept up to date unless we asked. The food by the way was excellent!. The manager did talk to us at the end of the meal to apologise and changed the bill amount.

We booked for 6.15 on a Sunday night, sat down and ordered drinks only to be told that there we no roasts! No roasts on a Sunday....we only booked for the roast. Someone needs to get their act together running out by that time on a Sunday. Ended up leaving to look elsewhere.

So as you know we visit most every week for the quiz. This week things didn't go so well with our food order. Two of us ordered the quiz pizza deal - one marguerita with extra mushrooms (£1 extra) and one carne. My daughter joined us this week and decided to have the salt and pepper squid starter with a side of chips. The pizzas arrived and the side of chips. The carne pizza not up to usual standard with just a bit of ham thrown on the top but cooked and edible. The marguerita with extra mushrooms had 6 pieces of button mushroom (for £1 extra!) so it got sent back. The pizza came back again, unfortunately it went back again, the base was not cooked. Oh and the squid had still not arrived so we reminded them that we were waiting for it. By the time that the pizza with mushrooms and the squid arrived I had finished my meal! The squid was a generous portion and very hot so had clearly just been cooked, the pizza had lots more mushrooms and was cooked through. Not the best week from order to actually eating but what we eventually ate was hot and tasty. Hopefully the next time we visit all will be back to the standard that we usually experience at The Racehorse .

Where we were seated was in the bar area and was very noisy. The starters are more like main courses and my caprese salad was like a packet of vine tomatoes chucked on top of salad and was far too big to finish. My main course prawn/fish Thai curry was good. If I went again, I’d make sure I chose a table in a much quieter area and shared a starter.

We were greeted as soon as we went in, asked if we had booked, checked and showed us to a lovely table next to the window, given the menu, asked if we would like drinks now while we looked to see what we fancied and returned with our drink order. Lovely, very friendly and helpful. Recommend it all.

Understaffed at time of our arrival as the barman pointed out to us! He lacked interaction / personality when taking our food order. Food was just ok. 1 meal out of the 6 ordered had to be returned....
