The Winning Post

The food at the Winning Post was exceptional Pub Food. The service was excellent. Highly recommend a visit and will be returning soon.

We had a fabulous evening for my Neice & her husband Wedding anniversary .They throughlly enjoyed it as we all did. Thank you so much for a great evening food & service very good & we will be back

The potatoes were slightly over cooked, far to crispy. The service was excellent. Very friendly staff. The roast beef was delicious Overall a great experience

Was a last minute booking on mothers day but Simon managed to find a little table inside with 2 comfy chairs the staff and service were excellent and the food was brilliant well worth a 2hr round trip

Visited on Mother's Day -originally had an outside table booked but the weather changed and we were accommodated inside. Simon and his staff were very welcoming, attentive and friendly. The food was excellent and we can't wait to go again.

We went on a Sunday for my partners birthday. I'm a vegetarian so we had the nut roast. The food was incredible although the actual nut roast wasn't the best one I've had. Couldn't fault anything else! I would say that where we were sat we could hear a lot of conversation between the staff.

Lovely country pub, comfortable inside and out. Nice vibe thanks to landlord and friendly bar staff. If u want to relax in a country pub it's hard to beat.

Only stopped for a drink but it was heaving despite being between meal times. Will definitely return for food and then again in summer for a drink.

Lovely friendly staff from the moment we checked in to when we left. Had a ground floor room which we had requested with outside access for our dog. Very clean and all essentials provided. Had dinner which was delicious and they brought a special treat for our dog for breakfast! Would definitely stay again.

We had an amazing stay here. Accommodation was excellent, very spacious exceptionally clean. Everything we could need for our stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Food in the restaurant was excellent, all freshly prepared and cooked. Continental breakfast had great choices with fresh out of the oven croissants. We only stayed for one night, wish it could have been longer. Will definitely return for another stay.

What a Sunday lunch! Attended The Winning Post with family and honestly, the food and service were top-notch. FYI, the Yorkshire Puddings are epic! Highly recommend it- look forward to visiting again soon.

Sunday lunch today was absolutely fabulous. Every item on the plate tasted wonderful. Real gravy nothing out of a plastic bag! Staff fabulous and chefs amazing- thank you.

Food was good but we waited over an hour for our main course as many other reviewers have mentioned. No apology or even recognition that we'd waited so long - just an excuse that the kitchen was "very busy" when clearly it wasn't. It's a shame because it's a nice pub and good food let down by poor customer service. Again as other reviewers have noted.

We came last minute for a Sunday roast. Delicious fresh food, great portions and great value, excellent super friendly service. Will be back again!

Great atmosphere, proper steak and friendly staff. I cannot fault this place. I have had a few dinners here with family and have never been disappointed. Would highly recommend.

Booked breakfast on Sunday 22/08 for four people as a last stop for my family who had been visiting for the weekend from Scotland. I had told them how quaint and lovely our new local pub was after moving to the area. Upon arriving a tall dark haired waitress came over and asked if she could help. I explained we had a table for four for breakfast. Her response was "not for cooked breakfast you haven't" I could not believe the response.

I said I had booked breakfast for four people for this date and she said "not cooked, continental only" I asked why I would not be made aware of this when booking and she shrugged and said "I'll ask the chef but there is nothing we can do" I asked to speak to the manager and the waitress asked "why" I then asked for her name and she again said "why" I asked to speak to her outside and I explained that you do not speak to people that way who are paying customers.

She gave me a patronising apology and told me to take it up with management. I could not believe the hostile exchange for no reason. It was an embarrassing exchange to have which could be have been completely avoided on her part. This was going to be my new local but I refuse to pay 12 for a glass of wine to be spoken to like I am not welcome. People are out for the service and atmosphere.

When these lack I will keep my money. My family and I ended up going to the Robyn's nest for breakfast. Would highly recommend. Fantastic friendly service, accommodating and in the middle of the local garden centre which was lovely and good for a stroll after breakfast.
