Ye Olde Punchbowl Country Inn and Gardens

Good food but not hot although first I the que at 12.00 ok for gravy lovers.service good but no help with menu if you wanted starters.

Food was great - you can never beat a good carvery! chef was very friendly when carving the meat. Disco was an added bonus - overall a great place for a Christmas night out with friends at a price which is great value for money, not hesitation with going back.

Good value, but dim lighting couldnt see what i was eating plus smoke from woodburner offputting. would definitely go again though, good food and plenty of it.

Lovely place , great setting and food was excellent lots of good choices on carvery and good value, the baileys white chocolate cheesecake was fantastic, staff friendly.

Not impressed with the overall service, well there wasnt really any. The food was mediocre and while we were eating our food we asked 1 of the well i cant call him a waiter as he didnt really wait on the table, if he could get us a bottle of wine, the reply was you have to get it from the bar if i do it for you i will have to do it for everyone. So none of us were impressed. We will not return

Cannot fault the food, however service needs to be improved, no one to greet us upon arrival, waitresses stood around talking when tables needed to be cleared and the bill was calculated incorrectly 3 times, good job we checked it. Could do with a good mature manager instead of kids.

Great position with lovely gardens & outdoor lounge. Ideal for pre dinner drinks or after dinner coffee. Service great and friendly and the food kept a veggi, meatlovers and both small and large appetites happy

Food good and staff friendly. Let down slightly by the table not being as clean as expected for 1st sitting of the day. It would visit again as hopefully this was a one off problem.

The gravy was too runny for our liking and the roast potatoes & parsnips needed crisping but other than that, another lovely Sunday carvery. Would recommend it!

The carvery meats were very nice, and there was a reasonable choice of vegetables. The pub interior is pleasant and is located in lovely surroundings.

This was the best carvery I have been to in years, great food in a beautiful old building and fantastic gardens. Will be back soon.

Been few times always great ambience service and best fresh carvery for miles prefer this rather than the carvery chains whose food is bland and quickly cooked, the food here is clearly delivered by people who are proud of the quality of the food and the service is always friendly and attentive

Lamb and beef absolutely beautiful.Service great smiley staff. Drinks reasonably priced. Large car park aswell. They also do tribute nights and you can stay there.

We really enjoyed our return visit to the Punch Bowl. The staff are very friendly and make it a worthwhile visit. The carvery was scrumptious.

The best carvery we have had in a long time, can't get enough of this place. Has become one of our favourites. Look forward to returning again.

This is the first time we have visited the Punch Bowl and we would highly recommend it. The staff we very frendly and the food was lovely.

Wow what a lovely evening food was devine and so much choice service was excellent will definitely been going back again a proper country pub

Booking was really easy online. Booked a table for two. Got there a little before time but it was no problem getting seated. Going on a, Sunday they only do a daytime carvery and no evening one. Although the pub was busy we were dealt with courteously and efficiently. The were five meats on and the chef who served us was very friendly. A good selection of veg to go with our meal and a nice choice of puddings after. The staff were attentive without being overly so, just right on all aspects of our dining experience. Would definitely go again.

5 of us went for the carvery here !! meal was great , good range of meats and veg , beef was very very good indeed !! will definitely return

Service & Food second to none brilliant evening Booked for Christmas 17thDec special request cheese board as extra see if they can accommodate don't Mind the cost

A great venue. Food always fresh and enjoyable. Great staff always so friendly and attentive. Cannot wait for the next visit.It will be my birthday soon and there is only one place to celebrate.

Excellent food, service & surroundings as always. Enjoyable experience at every visit, we always look forward to returning with our friends. Friendly & helpful staff.

We booked for five persons for the AGA roast . We were never advised that we couldn't return to Carvery for more . We only had small portions to try various meats on offer . Disappointed . The Down is a much better alternative

Decent food though I hoped for a better veg selection and stuffing shouldnt be so dry. The pricing attracts an older clientele than I was expecting! The fact that you need to queue at the bar to get a receipt for the carvery, before queuing at the carvery seemed a bit inefficient, & wasn't explained by any staff who all seemed rather rushed but were pleasant enough. A nice enough lunch but my search for a fabulous carvery continues.

As always an excellent carvery. Very friendly staff and good service. This is probably our tenth time we have visited and are already looking forward to the next. See you soon.

Very nice setting friendly service food excellent as much as you want not restricted to a few slices of meat . Nothing too much trouble will definitely use again

Fantastic. I cannot fault this place. The food is amazing and the staff are friendly and attentive. A regular for me and my family. Great for couples or families for romantic meals or big parties 😄😄😄😄

Has to be one of the best carvery meals we have had and will definitely be returning soon. Well worth a visit for great food.

We had a lovely meal, it's the first time we had been there and was very nice. Easy to find, staff very friendly, food and service was amazing. Will be booking to go again soon.

Very nice carvery with a good choice of food and drink.Some might say a little expensive for a carvery but you definately got quality for the money.We wil definately return.

Really enjoyed our meal at the Olde Punchbowl Inn. Service was also very good, The restaurant was also very busy with customers which does give a good impression of a place.

Different days different chef's this visit looking forward to the garlic potatoes however these had skins on 😨 which is ok is they have been throughly washed, I always chew my food well so there fore I was crunching on dirt as the potatoes were not as prepared as they ought. Also veg could have been cooked for a bit longer quite crunchy. I hope my next visit has a different chef. I have been before & had excellent food.

Good atmosphere, good service and great food! Would highly recommend Sunday carvery. Make sure to book table as it gets busy! Will definitely be back soon!

Nice good and a good selection.to choose from. Always busy here and it is advisable to book instead of turning up to avoid disappointment on the day.

Venue is homely, staff very friendly and welcoming. Carvery is amazing even food served from the restaurant menu is fantastic. Already booked up for Christmas.

Had a lovely meal for dads birthday. Very good value for money as the food is excellent. Enjoyable surroundings, staff helpful. Will definitely go again.

Staff were very friendly, chef interacted with the customers and food was excellent. Never been there before and I will be going back, restaurant is beautiful.

Friendly staff, good home cooked food, reasonable prices, what's not to like? Recommended. A wider choice of vegetables would be acceptable and the car park could be a bit bigger but these are minor points.

Nice and relaxed with very nice home cooked tasting food. I think it was excellent value and we have decided to make it a family monthly treat.

Fantastic carvery, best we have had for a long time, everything g tastie and well cooked. Staff very friendly and helpful. Price extremely Good. Will definitely return
