| Despite previous comments our group had a good day at The Sorrel horse. The pub was extremely busy which was good to see. Food was entirely satisfactory with more than enough on the plates. motorcyclist - 21 Feb 2011 12:46 |
| What a charming pub with good beer and great location Pixy28 - 11 Aug 2010 18:23 |
| I agree with the reviewers report below dated 29th June 2008. The service can be dire. I am sure I too had the misfortune to encounter the same waitress he describes. She was rude and shouted at customers. There was a group of us and one person took a list of our orders to the bar � they thanked her and took the list. But some orders where wrong � informed of that in a very polite informal way - the waitress shouted (yes shouted) at our group �well that�s your fault � you got it wrong�. We asked for the list back to check but she flounced off in a huff. The 2nd waitress arrived with more meals (totally different character) gave no apologies but said �no that�s Ok it was an error in the kitchen�. On the plus side the food has always been good. It is home cooked and well priced. Just a shame they don�t train their staff better. Plus get rid of the hard wooden stools in the lounge area. It is a shame as we have been at other times and it was nice. It kind of puts you off going back! Pip123 - 12 May 2009 15:09 |
| We always enjoy visiting this pub and today was no exception. There's an attractive beer garden and kids' play area, and at the weekends decent food is served all day. 2 real ales on offer- Spitfire and Adnams bitter- both were in good condition. We didn't eat here today but the pub was busy with diners and everyone seemed happy enough. edchambers - 15 Mar 2009 22:12 |
| The pub is set in a wooded area which provides shade where required and has a large beer garden with seating and an extensive play area. Also nice touches are the horses in the adjoining field who observe the humans at play�. When we arrived mid-aft� the inside was half-full and lots of families outside enjoying the sun. We settled in for a pint, however sadly the same criticisms exist in this service industry such as �what service?� tsk!. There were 3 ales (Adnams, Spitfire + one other) I plumped for the Spitfire and my larger drinking companion shunned the lager on tap and went for Becks��The beer wasn�t great and the service was shocking to the extent that in between grunts from the young woman she whisked away the menu as I was studying it�?! Settling down for a pint outside in the beer garden we eventually found a less sticky table, polished off our drinks quickly and left the families to enjoy their fried food and poor pints.
