The Down Inn The Down Inn - this restaurant was good. We entered and we were told that the carvery is every day. (I was glad it was). We went into the carvery room and the chef served me pork. On the other side, there was all the vegetables and gravy etc. When I first tasted the pork, it was slightly cold but with a dash of hot gravy and it was perfect. The carrots were nice, lovely. Overall, it was good. The restaurant was cosy and clean. The service was decent.read moreread less

An excellent place for quality food After being recommended and told how good the Down Inn was, we thought we would go and have Sunday lunch. Well, let's just say we weren't disappointed, and we will definitely be going back again in the near future. The service, the quality of food and the hospitality were all very good. And, thank you everyone for making our visit most enjoyable.read moreread less

Nice fresh meals all round We have visited this place a number of times to meet up with family, and it’s always absolutely lovely, can’t say anything at all to fault the food, it’s all very nice and freshly cooked, we all had something different and no complaints at all, the pudding are equally delicious. And just to add staff are all very professional and patient, thanks for a lovely visit.read moreread less

Great Sunday carvery Great carvery - busy place. Must contradict recent reviews moaning about tepid food and the staff. Our Sunday lunches from the carvery were hot, the roasties crispy, the gravy perfect. The staff work hard because this place is busy, busy on a Sunday. If you're looking for good honest food in down to earth surroundings then try it. We booked for 1230 and within the hour the entire car park was full. That's the best recommendation.read moreread less

AMAZING CARVERY & VEGETARIAN SELECTION Warm friendly greeting on arrival Bar service good Friendly waitress with a sense of humor ( she could have been the landlady) Ordered 2 Carvey meals with meat and 2 Mushroom Wellington with carvery vegetables. Were told when the Wellingtons were ready at carvery Massive selection of hot tasty vegetables, crispy parsnips and crispy roast potatoes which so many places get wrong but these were just perfect. The Wellingtons came out on massive plates I asked for a Yorkshire with my Wellington meal and to my surprise the young chef who was very pleasant actually said " let me get you one that has not been sitting on the meat" what a change from other places, I thought was very thoughtful, The waitress had taken vegetarian gravy to the table Meat carvery plates were also well loaded Masses of food The desserts were amazing and cheap I have to I am well able to complain when things are not right, but this was just perfect Look forward to a return visitread moreread less
