The Canary Linnet - Carta

Three of us enjoyed an absolutely fabulous, home-cooked meal tonight. Two lamb shanks and a braised steak and three amazing desserts. Finished off with coffee and all served with a friendly, chatty but non-intrusive barman. Lovely evening

We had heard the pub was under new management and decided to drop in for a meal with our two dogs on Sunday really pleased that we did. Meal was lovely. I do have dietary issues and they could not have been more helpful. Will definitely be visiting again.

Well, what a lovely surprise! If you have visited before,you must try it now the new owners are fully operational. Lots of work has been done to make it very welcoming and fresh and clean looking. The menu is completely new and makes you want to go back to try another lovely thing on the list. Prices are very reasonable and a meal for Four with 2 rounds of drinks and 3 courses for 2 people was very reasonable. Well worth a visit now. Ver carta

It was Sunday and due to the covid restrictions there could be no Sunday lunch as we used to know it, but we did have meals from the specials board. I had an excellent pork and stilton pie with good crunchy chips, my fiancé had the hunters chicken which was also excellent. The service was quick and friendly and the value for money top notch. The hospitality business is currently struggling with the covid crisis and the latest restrictions and I wish this owner well. We will certainly return when we are passing again. .

Food not as described on website. Pints overpriced. No salad. No chips with a burger. Burger 8.50 plus extra for cheese bacon egg plus another 2.50 for chips and £2 for a couple of onion rings. Small jacket for £7 again no salad. Burger served on a side plate. Burger worse than one from Iceland. Manager didn’t care about service or to ask if things were ok. 38£ for rubbish one course and 2 drinks. Will not visit again. They want to charge max price for poor quality. Greenstone and spoons just up the road half the price for twice the quality.

We have visited this restaurant several times in the past few weeks ever since the new owners took over, and we have been consistently pleased with each visit. We have enjoyed trying their ciders, beers, and wines during both lunchtime and evening meals. We have dined with family and as a couple, and each time the meals have been excellent with a wide variety to choose from. The portions are generous, and we always leave feeling satisfied. We highly recommend this restaurant. The setting is lovely, with a family of white peacocks in the garden. Ver carta

I was excited to come here with friends and colleagues. It 's a place I 've passed many times. However, I was very disappointed with the food. Very few of the items were listed as coming with any vegetables at all (the scampi and peas were pretty much the only ones) so I asked about the chicken curry what sort of curry was it? I was told It 's just a mild curry with chicken. When it came, it was just that: plain white rice, chicken, and some kind of grey cream curry sauce on top. There were no vegetables or visible spice at all, and it tasted of very little. Not worth the money I spent at all.

Although I understand that the hospitality industry has been struggling and is in need of support, my experience at this restaurant was a complete disappointment. Despite the menu on their website stating that a burger would come with chips and other accompaniments, I received just a plain burger on a side plate. The burger was of poor quality, with soft buns from a supermarket and additional bacon and overcooked egg costing extra. The minimal serving of chips and a couple of onion rings came to nearly £15.00. The jacket potato with chilli con carne was mediocre, with no garnish as promised, and was also overpriced, as were the drinks. I am always willing to pay a higher price for quality fo...

Having previously visited this eatery with a group of friends, whilst looking for somewhere to have Sunday lunch, this seemed like a good idea.We should have realised things had changed by the fact there were few cars in the car park. Plus a large sign that said 'open '!When we went in there was only one other couple in there. The menu came to us, no Sunday roast! My husband asked about the pie of the day, which he didn 't like so ordered an all day breakfast. After along wait our drinks came. Then the waitress came to say they did have steak ale pie. So he changed his order to this. 5 minutes later she returned again to say they were sorry they didn 't have any.At this point we got up and w... Ver carta
