    Last night was the 1st time going to the Moody Mare and we was pleasantly surprised, the food was very good and not overly expensive. The dining area was decorated nicely and Staff were attentive but not smothering us. The Sauvignon Blanc was nice and they even had Zero Guinness for my partner as well. There is a nice garden area and plenty of parking, we will be returning.

    This has always been our favourite pub - you will see from many previous reviews and we have spent birthdays, Christmas and other special occasions here. We booked for Father’s Day and I have to say I was really disappointed with the food. My first concern was the smell of frying as we entered through the door - and unfortunately this was then realised when the food was served. The frickles which are a family fave were joined with the chicken and they were so hot from the deep fat fryer that we couldn’t eat them for 10 minutes I also ordered the chicken Milanese which again was so deep fried that it was atomic hot and I didn’t start eating it for 10/15 mins. This was being served with dauphinoise - well no it was served with sliced potatoes (maybe 2 new size) My husbands roast was nice but where has the extra special Yorkshire pudding gone with the extra gravy. I feel that it may have changed hands and I would love to see the old standard of food back.

    We had the most lovely Father’s Day meal here. The food is exceptional, especially since I need gluten-free - I love the gf choices and the fuss-free-way it’s handled. The kids cleaned their plates, as did we, had the best time and will definitely be back again soon! …the kids wish me to add that the bill comes in a glass with sucky sweets in there too, that was possibly their favourite part!
