"This restaurant is a hidden gem, and somewhat tardis-like (you’ll see what I mean when you go there). Ate there twice within a week; once for a planned birthday celebration, the other an impromptu exam-success celebration. Staff are always so attentive, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere pleasant (it’s always nice to be able to hear what the people on your own table are saying, rather than competing with the cacophony of noise from surrounding tables). Yes, it’s a smidge more expensive than the restaurant chain around the corner (we’re talking less than a couple of pounds per dish more), but, for us, the additional cost is more than justified by the overall experience and quality of the food. Absolutely no problem with tailoring the dishes to deal with allergies (in my case, a dairy allergy). Vegan and GF options available too."

"I took my daughter for lunch here recently and was so disappointed with how The Trogh has deteriorated. Prices have increased considerably which in the current market I have no problem with but the portion sizes has dramatically shrunk too! My daughter and I both opted for the ceaser salad which was served with a very undercooked inedible egg, just a tiny sprinkle of finely chopped chicken and limp undercooked bacon. Very few salad leaves which for the price was poor. I asked to speak to the manager or shift leader as my meal was delivered 20 mins before my daughter and grandsons came out. I pointed this out to the shift leader who was nothing less than rude and hostile. She offered no apologies or solutions so eventually I suggested that she may like to refund my daughter’s meal. There were no checks backs on the table when the order was finally complete which is and should be standard. I can forgive poor food as we all have bad days but can’t forgive poor front of house customer service. Hasten to say we won’t be returning unfortunately. On a positive note the burger and fries was thoroughly enjoyed by my grandson."

"Very disappointed overall. As some of the family had previously visited several months before and had a nice meal. Hence the return. Our starters arrived all rather mediocre and waitress tipped one of the starters over sauce went everywhere accidents happen no big deal got...some paper off waitress and I cleared up told her there was lots of sauce on the floor. She just said ill clear it even uour gone. The mains came mine wax a steak which was as thick as a slice of bacon . Another person had a burger it was over cooked bun was black. Two people had BBQ ribs and asked for the BBQ sauce as none on them. The same waitress told them there was a bottle of hienz sauce they could use on the table!! To sides of prawns were ordered but we only got one lot when asked for the other portion the waitress said abruptly they were on the same plate!! Another group member had beef fajitas that were so tough he couldn't chew the meat. Another waitress asked how meal was I told her she said she would speak to Chef and then returned and said he was to busy at the moment. We got bill they did refund for the fajitas but the waitress who served us before came to collect money and was quite rude . I won't return there's so many nice places I can go in town. This would be my last choice"

"simply came back from the camping to the masons arms and can recommend it. beautiful small, friendly side with everything they need and more. Pub foods were delicious and exactly what we needed after long days in the open day, at which cooking for 3 adults and 5 children became a chore and nothing too much to ask from the owners - we even borrowed an ice-cream for our wine, which will stagger all day in the tent. the children were the real fish and not fish fingers in beerbatter and watch the dogs the agility course. only very small lower side was the trainee chariot, which was crooked before the appearance of the sun, but then you are a camping so that they want to put in after 6 o'clock anyway. thanks for a great time. we're back to the finals."

"Friends took us here for dinner and it was delicious. Good portion sizes too. We all left full and satisfied. We'll definitely be coming back and probably the odd takeaway too. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan options too. They were very accommodating. Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"
