"Excellent and relaxing lunch with friends"

10.0

I went to the Moathouse bar with three friends on Wednesday 18th Feb. We hadn't booked a table and the bar was quite full as a wedding was taking place in the restaurant. Laura, the waitress who greeted us was only able to offer us a table with high bar stools. As one of my friends and I had recently sustained broken shoulders we struggled to get ourselves seated. Laura went to a lot of trouble to secure another table for us which was perfect. We originally went for coffee which morphed into lunch and we didn't leave until 4om! Throughout our time there the service afforded by Laura was outstanding. She was cheerful, attentive but not instrusive and made sure everything was as we wanted it. The food was excellent (fish finger sandwiches to die for!) and the ambiance cosy and relaxing on a very chill day. We had such a good time! Thank you.

"Dog friendly"

8.0

Very good welcoming, we had booked the dog friendly bar for meal on a Saturday afternoon.We sat in front of a lovely log burning fire, where there was a bowel of water for our Cockapoo dog. The service was excellent, the food was great, I had the 10oz steak and my wife had the hake. It was one of the best steaks I have had. Everywhere was clean including the toilet. The manageress made sure we had everything we needed and was very pleasant. Also she made a fuss of our dog.It is a tad on the expensive side but we thought it was worth it. With drinks and a dessert it came to £82. We would definitely return

"Business trip"

10.0

Popped in for a pint, never been before, really enjoyed my visit mainly due to the young blonde woman think her name was Samantha? Not sure, Absolute breath of fresh air, great personality and character and service given, will definitely return, thoroughly enjoyed my visit, Well done to the young lady, I hope she is appreciated as many of pubs/restaurants on my work travels I visit lack the character needed

"Excellent"

10.0

I regularly visit the Moat House with my grandparents on Thursday evenings, and each visit is always impressive. The service is exceptional, delivered by a team who are not only attentive and efficient but genuinely friendly, and eager to make every guest feel welcome. Their positive approachable manner creates an inviting atmosphere from the moment we arrive. Our meals are always prepared to a high standard being flavourful, and thoughtfully adapted to our family’s preferences. This combination of excellent food and outstanding hospitality ensures a relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable dining experience every time. Thank you very much as always.
