Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Frequent visitors rave about the outstanding drink selection, especially the local ales that highlight the best the area has to offer. The cocktails impress, with patrons often commenting on their creativity and presentation. Food-wise, favorites include the fish pie and the Ploughman’s lunch, both celebrated for their flavors and generous portions. Many have enjoyed the relaxed ambiance that makes socializing effortless and fun. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness consistently earn compliment after compliment, making every dining experience memorable. Additionally, the pub's commitment to quality ensures that meals are consistently delicious, pleasing even the pickiest eaters.

Most Disliked

Despite the rave reviews, some patrons have voiced concerns regarding wait times during peak hours, particularly on busy Friday evenings. Some have also noted that the pub can get quite crowded, which can make for a noisy experience if you’re looking for a quiet meal. A few diners have mentioned limited menu choices for those with specific dietary restrictions, wishing for more options for gluten-free or vegan dishes. Additionally, while the outdoor seating is popular, reservations can be wise if you're hoping to snag a table on a sunny day, as they fill up quickly.

Another delicious lunch at the Tilted Barrel. Great village pub and restaurant serving consistently high quality food. Would recommend the Ploughman's lunch, fish pie, fish and chips or cauliflower steak, plus any of the sandwiches. Having said that, I've never had a disappointing meal here, so take your pick from the extensive menu.

Can’t wait for this place to re-open, missing a pint in the bar after our walks and the great food in Russell’s. We’ve ate here on numerous occasions and never had a bad meal so would definitely recommend...friendly and knowledgable staff too. Roll on lifting restrictions and getting some normality back.
