It was very quiet but a lovely place. 2 out of 3 of the dishes served were brilliant, the fish pie might not be for everyone. Would definitely go back again

We've just our valentines meal at the Sparrowhawk in front of their open fire. I have to say the food was gorgeous and the service was excellent. The head of service was very attentive and most welcoming. I had the rib eye steak with the blue cheese sauce and my partner had the fish and chips.

Sunday roast is nice! They also had the on day special Salt & Pepper Squid, nicely plated which did not disappoint. The pub is dog-friendly indoor too!

Visited this place for the first time in several years last night and was not disappointed! No booking had been made, but a table for two was soon provided and the waiter appeared with menus and to take drinks orders within a matter of seconds. Starters of Leek and Potato Soup, and Deep-Fried Squid were served in about 10 minutes and our mains of Lamb Chops followed. If I have one criticism, it would be that the cauliflower was a little undercooked and the cheese sauce wasn't all that cheesy. But apart from that we were both very happy with our meals and the service, and will definitely be returning in the near future!

We stopped by on the off chance with parents. Sam was incredibly accommodating and attentive. He was the epitome of wonderful customer service: thoughtful, kind and professional. He and his colleagues gave us a wonderful evening with delicious food and atmosphere. Sam went above and beyond with my mother, who is recovering from a hip operation, showing her genuine kindness and consideration. We will definitely be retuning.

Second visit here but it wasnt as good as our first. The fishcakes were very good but let down by my main of chicken, dauphinois potato and green beans, I love dauphinois but these were extremely dry not creamy at all. There was a mix up over our Grandsons meal as told he got 2 sides with his (small) pizza so he asked for chips and garlic bread having been told any side off main menu then was told garlic bread not included so he chose onion rings as his second sidewhich came as a very large portion so he only managed a couple, when we got the bill they I had charged the onion rings, I queried this and was told by a different server that onion rings wasnt included as a side so I said I refuse to pay for them as wasnt told, they took them off the bill.
