   Great pub and lovely meal (Sunday Roast). Staff were great, attentive and friendly. We look forward to going back for a meal with some friends on a Saturday evening sometime soon. Thank you.

   Fantastic Sunday family lunch. Lovely quality food. We had the whole roast chicken which was very well Cooked with fabulous side dishes. The playground and sandpit was such a hit with the kids. One of the best Sunday lunches in the area. Highly recommended. Only recommendation: more gravy please

   £90 inc. a tip for two people was a bit pricey for what it was... A Sunday dinner. The starter of parsnip soup was very nice and my dessert was too.

   Meat was tough, fatty and cutlery barely adequate to deal with it. Should have had starter and dessert

   Lunchtime light bites offer a great option instead of a big meal. We chose a few of them between the two of us and thoroughly enjoyed - Camembert, chicken liver and hock ham pork pie with pickles. Also had sides of slaw and sweet potatoes - delicious. Well cooked and presented. Couple of drinks too! All for £50. Service fantastic too. We will be returning.

   Friendly and smart venue. Interesting fish night menu. Salmon and mussels were very good. Generous portion sizes £35. head for two courses with drinks so not too expensive.

    Main courses were very good but unfortunately the rice pudding with plumb jam was too sweet for our taste preference and the pineapple and passion fruit cheesecake was still partly frozen.

    Visited for Sunday lunch. The roast potatoes were mostly black and wasn’t crispy on the outside at all. Gravy was already poured over the roast ( we wasn’t aware of this as never been before and my son doesn’t like gravy) perhaps should be mentioned. Sour dough bread starter consisted of 3 small slices which for £5.00 wasn’t good value.

    First time visited for Mother’s Day Sunday. Waited at the table with menus for so long had to go and ask a waiter to order. One guest wanted a steak but was told only the Sunday lunch menu was available- this was not detailed on their website when booking. The food arrived with burnt chips and potatoes plus the Yorkshire pudding was dry. We did point this out to the staff and they kindly reduced the bill 20%. A shame as it’s a nice venue but seemed to be overwhelmed by the volume of people.

    Wonderful Mother's Day lunch at the Catherine Wheel. We had the chicken sharer which is a whole roast chicken on a large board, surrounded by delicious roast potatoes, stuffing, roast vegetables, cauliflower cheese, peas with chopped leeks, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. You carve it up yourself and help yourself to everything else. It's great value at £38 and is perfect for a family of 4 or smaller. They also do a Gammon sharer as well as other roasts and fish dishes. Great atmosphere and lovely attentive staff.

    What an amazing lunch. We were there to celebrate Mother’s Day and a birthday. It was so lovely to have the side area- service was on point and the food was incredible. The 4 person roast was excellent value. The chocolate bombe was a great experience. What a lovely little touch to be given daffodils as well to each mum

    Easy to find and park, plenty of space Took a while once seated to be brought a menu. Very child and dog friendly, but in a nice clean environment, which was nice Service was a bit haphazard, but unorganised but they may have been short staffed. Had a side that never appeared and a coffee that didn’t either. No one came to check so didn’t ask for them, as wasn’t the end of the world, but they did remove from the bill Food was lovely, starters fresh and tasty, dessert lovely. Mains were nice, fish and chips very, very greasy, but overall wouldn’t complain at all about food. Didn’t have a drinks menu which was slightly annoying as you had to know what you wanted, but probably me being picky! Would recommend and visit again, but hope the service improves slightly for the price of the meals.

    Had fish and chips, had to send meal back as chips were over done , nearly burnt. Chips second time around were just acceptable, not crispy. Fish was good, though batter was over cooked and just acceptable Will return again but if meal is same standard will not come back

    Really delicious food with a vast menu. There is also a light bites menu, a sandwich menu and a specials menu so there is always a great choice for everyone. Even my elderly father who is a proper fusspot! My favourites are the suet pudding and the Whole Chicken Sharer on a Sunday for a family or 2 very hungry people) . Very attentive friendly staff. Good choice of beers, ales and wines. Always a lovely friendly cosy atmosphere.

    We visited for a roast dinner on a Sunday afternoon. The pub was nicely busy with a nice atmosphere but not too noisy. The staff were all very polite and efficient but it did seem like service was a little slow, it was fairly busy though so I wouldn't hold this against them. I did notice there were staff members who looked absolutely rushed off their feet and were still super helpful to us and there were others who seemed to just be wandering around, wiping already cleaned tables when there were clearly customers waiting to be served. Food however was delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection. Only complaint would be that it was definitely a small roast; we had 2 potatoes each, I had one parsnip and one carrot and my partner only had a carrot and no parsnip. Puddings were absolutely beautiful though, would go back again just for the crumble!
