“ Went on Friday for an early birthday meal with family. Superb service The food was absolutely amazing. Could tell everything was freshly cooked and prepared x ”
“ Pretty good pub and eatery. We booked 2 days ahead for Sunday lunch 1pm, a busy time; other places in the area were full. My wife and I both had the vegetarian butternut and beetroot wellington which was good. Our 2 companions had scampi and chips, and were pretty satisfied, but said the chips were slightly undercooked. The car park did not quite fill up although the place was busy. ”
“ Visited for mothers day, the food was fantastic. It was extremely busy (which is great to see) not a criticism but service could have been slightly better in terms of drinks, but could see all the staff were super busy. Lovely place and gorgeous food! Can't wait to go back! ”
“ This was my me and my wife's first visit here. We first went for a walk to the slitting mill waterfalls well worth a visit . Then on to the horns. My wife had the fish and chips it looked and tasted exceptional. I had the hanging kebab with fries and garlic nan absolutely stunning my wife then finished off with a oreo cheesecake . Service first class we will be back 10/10 ”
“ Just dropped in after a drive and have to say the food was spot on. Had pie of the day (Steak and Ale) and the pie crust was crispy and the meat had no grizzle . Mash and veg well cooked . Wife had the sausages and mash and again couldn’t fault it. Bar staff cheerful even though she couldn’t understand my Yorkshire accent asking for Coke :-) ”
“ Saturday evening at the Horns Inn, slitting mill. Service was great. Had to amend the booking, but this wasn't a problem for staff, really accommodating. Good variety of food on offer. Portion size was off the chart, not a single person could finish the meal. Had the nachos to share for a starter. This was a main meal in its self all home made, bonus. Only dropped a star for the lighting in the area by the kitchen. It was a little dark, but didn't detract from the friendly atmosphere. Free live entertainment on the Saturday evening. But didn't stay. Had to find my comfortable joggers otherwise a Jean button would have popped and taken an eye out. Will definitely be back again. ”
“ My partner and I love coming to this place. It's in a great spot for walking the dog, plus the fact it's dog friendly is even better. The food here is always incredible. The Sunday roast is amazing and great portions for the price but I would highly recommend booking as they are always busy. Alot of seating outside too with a small car park. My partner is a vegetarian and she still has great meals here. Definitely worth a visit ”
“ Fabulous pub. I travel with work and it was so good we ate here twice in one weekend. Staff were very friendly, food was amazing! We had steak, the lamb skewers and one of the burgers. Everything was seasoned and cooked well. You could feel ... ”
