    Even after a long conversation about needing a gluten free meal, my friend’s lunch arrived with glutinous bread. Fortunately it was rectified. Food was delicious & plentiful

    We had a fabulous evening at the Sheep and Penguin. We received a warm welcome on arrival and were offered tasters of both wine and beer before making our choices. The food was delicious and the atmosphere and decor were perfect. The staff were lovely and friendly and provided an excellent service. We highly recommend this little gem whether it be for just a drink or to sample their delicious food.

    Great service and knowledgeable about drinks. The food was well presented and tasty Only negative was that the table was at the back of the pub and didn’t seem to have the same ambience as the front area.

    Food was excellent, service very good. We were in the main part of the pub rather than restaurant area but great ambiance and atmosphere.

    Last night was by far the best meal we’ve had at the S&P. It took a while to come out but it was worth it! Good vegan and vegetarian options (although sadly still only a measly sorbet for dessert - but that’s not the most important thing). Definitely the right direction for the S&P to go in. Keep it coming!
