The Why Not Inn - Astwood Bank

Friendly staff, lovely food and good service Only con was that the pub was a bit quiet so could have done with some music playing in the background

Lovely fresh food. Friendly service. Lovely setting and atmosphere. Would reco

Very friendly staff, beautiful setting, food was lovely and reasonable pricing

The buttermilk chicken, the croquettes and the mushrooms were really delicious and a good size. Would of happily had these for a main meal! The roasts were nice, slightly bland, and came with not even a full carrot and litreally a few peas. We were not able to order a half pint of orange and lemonade, we had to have a pint, and when we asked for no ice we got ice so had to send it back. However the tea came in a really generous size teapot, which was great. Then upon payment we were unable to use the card reader, as it would not connect to the server, luckily we had cash but if we didn't I don't know what we would be expected to do.

Pleased with the food and customer service would recommend and revisit

Our table was booked for 1pm. Taking the drink order took ages, taking our meal order took ages, 2 members in our party had starters can't remember what time they arrived but our roast didn't get served to us until 2.20pm . Had to chase the dessert order.Enjoyed our food but the wait for all 3 courses was rediculous.

Your staff were all friendly and very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our meal we did feel it could have been hotter. But we still had a lovely time as it was my husbands 65 birthday. And your staff brought out our cake and sung happy birthday thank you

Lovely atmosphere, and great meal. Starters were the best, quickly followed by mains and desert. The only down side was that the apple Ipay didn’t work so had to pay again on card….. so my bank account currently shows two payments! Hopefully this will be corrected soon.

Had a lovely evening; food & service were both great!

we had a lovely evening, and the staff where the best

From beginning to end service, food & drinks were great!

Very nice food and service will visit again 😀 🙂

The pie was tender and very tasty and served piping hot. The sausages was also another winner, we ordered a side of veg to go with the sausages but it wasn't needed as it comes with veg. It didn't say this on the menu. However excellent lunch and will be back soon

Excellent food & friendly efficient service. Will definitely go again.

Food was alright, but rather plain. Only I other couple in and at about 9 the only people left. Clearly the staff wanted us to go, as was clearing the other tables

Excellent customer service and good food would recommend to family and friends

Enjoyable evening with friends fun and laughter all night x

Will definitely be re visiting, had a delicious meal and staff very friendly

Friendly staff. Clean and welcoming surroundings. The menu was great and the food was delicious 😋

Lovely setting, food and service. Will definitely return. Thank you

Lovely food, and we’ll presented. Although we were tucked around the corner out of the way a little so on our own, had to wait a while for the bill as no one came back, considering the e pub wasn’t busy at all we had to go and find someone.

Great place. Delicious food. Would recommend. We really enjoyed our evening there.

Five of us had lunch on Wed around 1pm. Great meal served by happy, helpful staff. Everyone enjoyed their food very much but all felt the prices were on the high side, especially the salads. Some looked at the ploughman's lunch but thought the price was extortionate for what was on offer and, therefore didn't order. Overall, very nice food served by very happy staff but a little overpriced.

Fantastic food, service and staff! Thank you so much all

Always friendly prompt with the service food was good as well

We were made to feel very welcome, staff very friendly & professional. Food was fresh & delicious

The atmosphere was nice and waitress friendly but the meal was very salty. Didn’t want to embarrass my friend by complaining. Mentioned this to waitress.

Lovely Sunday lunch with excellent service in a nice atmosphere

The food was delivered in a timely fashion, well presented, hot and tasty.

Very pleasant experience and will certainly return in the future

Good food, very attentive staff and our friends who are not local, were very impressed. We will be back.

lovely food nice staff lovely garden good selection of drinks

really great food, drink and positive impact worth a visit

Great food and friendly service. It was an open mic night too so we enjoyed some great music too

Staff and ambience was good but menu was a bit too complicated for us . More good home cooked classics please. Others I’m sure will feel differently.

Lovely food and customer service a Birthday treat for a friend- see you again soon

Really nice pub food, very well presented and lovely and hot. Made a lovely break from mid-week cooking. Serving staff are lovely and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Lovely food , relaxing atmosphere, great variety and no pressure to leave,even when we were the last ones there

Food is normally good, but unfortunately it was decidedly average on Mother’s Day. Burgers absolutely smothered in burger sauce and saturated / soggy buns in sauce and grease!

Excellent all round . The food , and portion sizes , are truly exceptional. Fantastic value for money . The staff are attentive. You cannot ask for anything more

very good , quick service ,lovely food . would recommend it

Friendly waitress on arrival, prompt service and drinks and main courses arriving in good time. Desserts on the other hand were not very warm.

We went for dinner at the Why Not pub good job we booked as it was busy. The food was good quality & tasty & good size portions. Plenty to choose from too but not much for a vegetarian. The staff were friendly & helpful. Definitely be going again

Apparently Lilly was head chef that night and the food was amazing, fresh and beautifully cooked. The service was great as always…
