Had a really tasty Sunday roast in a lovely quaint pub. Staff were v friendly and attentive. Great value for money. Service was quick. I'd definitely recommend to others and come back. I'd also recommend the desserts especially the biscoff sundae and crumble of the day. Yum..

Love the new Set Menu, it is not well advertised but it is £30 for 2 people and 20% off wine. Hope this offer stays, as the the selection of food was brilliant, great portion sizes well cooked food, that tasted amazing. Even the general menu looked great too. Such a welcoming pub/restaurant. Lovely serving staff great to see how this has turned around in a year.

My wife and I tried 2 items from the new menu, I had the venison pie my wife had the pulled lamb shepherd's pie, both very tasty, the veg was cooked al dente just to our liking, will definitely return to sample other items on the new menu, this pub really is a great asset to the local community.

Once again we arrived to find the online booking had not made it into the pubs booking system. Service was good but the food average at best. They added a 10% service change and whilst I know that it can be taken off I would prefer that it was not added in the first place. I can't say that I would rush back.

We regularly dine at the Moorend Spout. It provides good good at a fair price. There is service with a smile and the decor of the dining area is very soothing. The only (minor) disappointment is they have stopped selling Doom Bar beer, which is one of my favourites!

The Sunday roast was beautiful, very hot and plenty of it. The pork was tender and beautifuly cooked, the roast potatoes were fluffy and tasty. There was a bit of a wait but the waitress informed us of this, there was a large party there. The two waitresses Emily and another girl were charming and very sweet. We booked by open table from the poolside in Benidorm and called in on the way back from the airport which was a lovely end to a little break with friends.

Roast pots were soggie as everything was piled on top. I like mine crispy. Roast pork I think kept hot in gravy so the crackling was soft and soggie even a bit mushy. Overall taste was ok. Just the texture too soggie. The pudding. Apple crumble with custard was really lovely.

Really enjoyed the meal, plenty to eat. Prompt service. One concern was that my grandson cannot eat potatoes - not an allergy just recommendation from a medical professional as he suffers with migraine. Requested no potatoes with his roast, but meal was served with mash potato. He just avoided eating it.

At first glance the menu may seem like your standard pub grub, the the ingredients they use are the finest. I had the mixed grill and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had, the cuts of gammon and the steak were succulent. My only complaint would be the wording on the menu in regards to their Lunch Menu, my Dad thought he was ordering a rump steak & chips, but instead he got a steak sandwich & chips. I re-read the menu and the word sandwich never appeared anywhere, but I think the whole lunch menu might be sandwiches, confusing.

Initial table much too small and badly positioned. Food promptly served but ribs were placed over the top of slaw, eggs with gammon (overcooked) had hard yolks and watery whites, fries were poor quality - too many small pieces, waitresses were over-familiar and need training re clearing tables etc. of items no longer needed or finished with, (never leave the room empty handed), bill when presented was incorrect, over charged for wine.

My wife and I both had the rump steaks, cooked as recommended (medium/rare), both were cooked perfectly, the waitress was on her own and apologised for any slow service but everything ran smoothly, had a drink in the lounge bar afterwards, pleasant atmosphere, will definitely return soon.

We were most impressed with this pub. Outside it didn't look particularly special but as soon as we walked inside that changed. The ambience and decor was perfect, really up together and in keeping with an upmarket country pub. The staff greated us immediately on arrival, made us feel welcome and continued to look after us during our meal. The food was outstanding!! My daughter and I ordered the Chicken Tikka marsala, it was presented wonderfully on the plate and I've never tasted such an amazing dish of curry. I'd highly recommend a visit and look forward to returning.

Good place to go for a quiet lunch locally. The gammon was a generous size and the fish and chips perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of batter, all at a reasonable price. Efficient and friendly service.

Excellent food, first class service, efficient service yet unhurried. Lovely ambiance. Perhaps prices were a little high but then again they have to pay higher prices for the food and energy so probably they way it is now. Definitely be back.

Visited on a Sunday, party of 5. Starters were lovely, baked Camembert with warm bread (enough for 2) chicken strips with garlic dip and mushrooms on sourdough with Stilton and garlic sauce. Three of us had roasts, which were delicious; good selection of veg , nice crispy Yorkshire puds, meat was really tasty and jugs of extra gravy given too. Also had a side of cauliflower cheese and that was good too. Others had burgers with cheese and bacon which looked delicious and tasted just as good apparently. Side order of onion rings were freshly cooked, huge in size and portion was generous. Service was excellent, friendly and efficient. Would definitely go back again.

After such a a bad experience with the previous tenants we decided to give the new people a chance to redeem the previously good name of the Moorend Spout. The menu gave it’s self a lot to live up to “Spectacular Sunday Roasts”. Nothing spectacular. The food was cold (as was the plate) and all piled up on top of itself, with the gravy poured over the entire dish. Not everyone wants gravy all over their meal. Adding a “voluntary” 10% service charge to the bill is too presumptuous. When asking at the till for it to be removed the staff member shouted across the pub floor to her manager. “Can we take the service charge off!” Not very discreet or customer friendly. Benefit of the doubt given. Will not be going back. Not even for a “Decadent Pub Favourite” like Fish and Chips.

Very nice lunch but would prefer a normal roast dinner as roast potatoes were soft as they were buried under all the vegetables. Why can't you put the dinner on the plate so you can see what you have on your plate. Yorkshire pudding was soft and spongy instead of crispy. Would rather put my own gravy on the plate. I am not complaining as the lunch was tasty but a few things can be improved on.
