"An absolutely dreadful experience. We booked an indoor table because we didn 't want to be hot in the heatwave sun and, despite explaining this when we arrived and were offered an outdoors table, the server then tried to seat us right next to a south east facing window. It was blindingly bright and would have been like sitting in a greenhouse. We were then put one table along where got to sit on a filthy bench. Hooray for me. Our starter was a pair of vinegary, rough gazpacho soups (only partially eaten despite being super hungry) followed by a very average fish and chips for me, with what was described as tartare sauce. Really it was just mayo with about half a caper chopped through it. I couldn 't see or taste any lemon, shallots, parsley or seasoning. My friend ordered a steak salad from the 'Chef 's Specials ', a description which we assume must be ironic. First she was brought the wrong dish. Then they took the charred beef off this wrong dish (it was a cremated beef and pepper kebab) and put it with about ten leaves and some other uninspiring stuff on a tiny plate with a bowl of what looked like pink glue in the middle. There was no ranch dressing, as per the menu, and when we asked where the dressing was, we were told that was the pink contents of the gluey bowl. It bore absolutely no resemblance to ranch dressing! Aside from the fact that I held the bowl upside down during the entire conversation with the server and none of it came out, it tasted of nothing and yet had a strong heat to it. The pink colour must have been from chillis, which do not belong in ranch dressing. My friend ended up ordering bread and eating that because most of the salad, particularly the black, stringy beef, was inedible. At the end of the meal the server told us that he was charging us for the wrong main dish which had originally been served because that was slightly cheaper than the rubbish my friend had ended up with. He said this as if it was a good thing or made up for the risible meal. I asked why we were being charged anything for that particular main course given the wait for the right meal, the appalling quality of the food and lack of resemblance to that which was listed on the menu, at which point he took it off the bill. While I know that most British food pubs don 't exactly set the bar high with their over priced, uninspiring fare espeically for those of us who have eaten absolutely anywhere else in Europe but the Poacher Partridge hit an all time low."

I visited this restaurant for Father's Day. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. They also have a lovely outdoor seating area.

We absolutely loved it here. The views were amazing, the decor was brilliant, and there were ample seating areas, especially outside. The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It had a great family vibe to it and welcomed dogs to the outside area. I would definitely recommend it here.

It was fair enough. Quite good food though some of it was pricey. Large, with lots of parking. Service was fast enough and reasonably friendly. Chairs were uncomfortable. They weren't doing much wrong that I noticed; I just wasn't wildly enthused. I'd go back there if someone suggested it, but I'm not sure it would necessarily be my first suggestion. Ver carta

The food was excellent and the service was even better. Considering we went at peak times, just after Christmas, when they were fully booked we were still given a small table at the bar. We were also pleasantly surprised by the zero percent drinks menu that had a very wide variety. Overall we definitely recommend this local gem and will be visiting again soon.

The Poacher Partridge is home to an open-plan restaurant, bar, terrace and garden area, with uninhabited views across open farmlands. Great local pub restaurant. Nice enough that it feels like a treat, but affordable enough that it's not bank busting. The menu has something for everyone, and it's all good quality. Good vegan options. Nice outside space when weather is permitting.

The restaurant is a spacious and well-lit pub with outdoor seating and ample parking, including electric car charging stations. The staff provided friendly and prompt service. I savored my Thai bowl with king prawn, and my companion was satisfied with his steak pie. Despite not having made a reservation for lunch, we were able to easily find a table. The menu offered a wide selection, though the prices were slightly higher than expected. Ver carta

Lovely pub, clean and very family friendly. Looks like it was decorated by IKEA. Nice outdoor areas surrounded by green fields and trees. Great kids' play area with slide and climbing things. Service was slow despite us arriving between lunch and dinner time. We had to keep waving at staff for service and asking multiple times for a things like sauces and knives. Food was tasty, well presented, hot, with decent portions. The pizzas came about 10 minutes before the rest of the meals (steak, and fish chips). £126 for 5 adults and 1 child, mains only, which includes the 12.5% service charge.

The food we received was excellent, but unfortunately the service was lacking. There were 3 of us who ordered 2 starters and 2 pizzas, but only the starters arrived initially. The pizzas had not even been started, so we had to wait quite a while. No one came to clear our table either, so we ended up waiting for quite some time. When we asked about clearing our table, we were unsure if we had to do it ourselves since orders were placed at the bar. We decided to skip dessert and ordered coffee instead. The bar man who took our coffee order forgot about us, and it took 25 minutes before we finally received our coffee. Despite the excellent food, the service was abysmal. Perhaps ordering inside...

"Visited here with my partner in October First impressions were good ones, I’m a big fan of Mexican food and the menus looked as if they had a lot of choice and resonably priced, the restaurant was full with a decent atmosphere, usually a...good sign. Alarm bells started ringing when we ordered our main, calamari and an assortment of chips and dips. The calamari consisted of large, battered rings, clearly frozen (my guess is Iceland) and a mayonnaise. The chips and dips was a whole bag of cheap super market tortillas slopped on a dinner plate accompanied by shop bought hummus, sour cream and gauc. It’s a dark day when you enter a Mexican restaurant and they don’t even make their on guacamole….. even I make my own guacamole! However, we were hungry and ploughed through….. I’d like to point out at this point, I’m months pregnant and when it’s dinner time, I’ll eat anything. For mains we ordered the ginger and chilli tuna steaks which were served ‘turf and surf’ style. This means on its on griddle with a whole jar of what can only be described as uncle bens sauced shoved on top with peppers and onions. The tuna steak was extremely chewy and had a pungent smell. We couldn’t eat it. Praise the lord the the side of McCain’s oven cooked wedges which came with the dish (another whole dinner plates worth), for it was the safest thing to eat. Naturally after deciding enough was enough we asked to speak with the manager who was reluctant to help in anyway, very defensive over his frozen tuna and all in all, a bit dismissive. He did ask if he could get us anything else to eat, I’d rather raid the frozen aisle at my local Tesco thanks, and did offer us a drink on the house, to which we politely refused and asked for the bill. When we received this, the waitress announces proudly ‘here’s the bill, and we’ve given you a discount’ I pick up the paper with baited breath, what is it? Free drinks? Complimentary appetisers?? Nope! They’ve taken a whopping off our bill, which equates to approximately Bravo mariachi grill, bravo, i doth my cap to you in what I can only describe as the worst meal I’ve eaten out in a very long time."
