On a recent caravan weekend when the weather was miserable, my wife, my young daughter and myself decided to lunch in the Sun Inn. On entering ,the barman made us feel welcome from the start, the pub felt homely with a roaring fire in the hearth and the ale was as it should be. The food menu was fine and the staff were very accommodating and understanding of my young daughters eating preferences, the food itself was beautifully presented and cooked exactly to our taste. Needless to say we stopped rather longer than we intended, it was one of the few pubs these days where we felt completely at home and welcome. A very well deserving 5 stars from us. Thank you the Sun Inn.

On Sat 15 Nov myself and a party of 9 friends visited Nino's for a family celebration. First impressions, yes, it's a beautiful place and our table looked amazing. However, we were soon very disillusioned as the food left a lot to be desired, such that one meal was completely inedible! My own choice (Paperino Pizza) was also appalling and consisted of 1 piece of shredded duck, 2 small pieces of crispy bacon which was then smothered in spring onions, thinly sliced cucumber and a few tinned mushrooms! All in all an extremely poor effort for an Italian Restaurant. I'd heard so much about Nino's but alas, won't be dining there again.

Nothing special. Got the earily evening menu tasted like some of it was warmed from lunchtime. Will not go back there again however that's what we thought on our last visit. Should have learned from our previous experience.

5*. The staff was friendly and the food was good too. I took my husband with me and he loved it. This was our first time and we' ll be coming back very soon....

We had a lovely meal today thank you.

This is the second time that we have been to Waheeds and we will definitely be going back. The food is great and the pots are always full. The pots are checked regularly and filled up as and when needed. The staff are great and friendly. The atmosphere is good and also the seating is good. My husband is disabled and one of the members of staff helps when taking the food back to the table. We are a party of four and as stated before, we will certainly be going back.

V good.

Not been to the Bay Horse for years and this was an impromptu decision for a late Sunday lunch. Preceded by a visit to Barton Grange garden centre (completely rammed in early November!) then after a few wrong turns we arrived for 2.45. Still very busy and the four of us were squeezed onto a small table but the meal was really excellent. All the table had the same – roast beef (which comes pink) and a divine apricot bread and butter pudding – and we all agreed it was the best Sunday Lunch bar none that we had had locally. Washed down by two fine bottles of Rioja!

When we went I had a burger (blue cheese) and my partner had gammon. The gammon was apparently very good, but I'm afraid the burger itself was fairly tasteless despite looking amazing. The prices for some things are steep so the taste of the food really needs to justify the price tag and my order unfortunately didn't. We have decided to try this place again in a few months time as they were having difficulties with the menu and half the menu simply wasn't available, it would be nice to see if improvements happen.

Went there to celebrate a friend's birthday. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we walked through the door. The menu was extensive and we each chose something different for each course. Everything was perfect, the food was excellent, the timing spot on and the service attentive without being pretentious.

Excellent, friendly pub with welcoming staff. Visit this pub every saturday with family, young children. Always made to feel very welcome. Lovely log fire and excellent food. Would highly reccommend.

These prices are extortionate, lower the prices.

We went to the Highfield for a Halloween party on friday with the kids. Over a 150 turned up, what a fab night well run by all the staff a credit to the manager. We also had a meal before hand and was great value for money. Will return.

After much work, a well distributed family was brought together for a 73rd birthday. We should have know how dire it was, as this was halloween, and the place was like a ghost town. My partner went one side of the divide, to proceed to place the order, which were all confirmed as main courses, not starters. The lady then repeated the desired menu back to her. Unbeknown to us, two of the desired main courses were put through as starters. This affected me as I ordered three different buckets of wings. I ended up with two paltry buckets of three wings per bucket. Which upon tasting did not have the desired zinge as advertised. When challenged the delivery person said that the rest were coming. We asked for a burger with salad , no cucumber and no dressing and no chips. But lo and behold a burger was delivered to the partygirl including guess what? Chips and a fully dressed salad,with cucumber. I will admit on my salad I did not stress strongly enough how allergic I was to cucumber. Mine turned up un dressed in a smaller bowl and to some one as sensitive to cucumber. I could smell it , as the same blade had been used to prepare the salad. I went in search of the manager only to see three member so f staff larking around. I proceeded to advise the manager of the situation but after listening to me, his stance was that his staff were correct and that we as the customer were mistaken. He then proceeded to bring the member of staff into the conversation. I requested to continue with him and that this was between him and I. He continued to bring the member of staff into the conversation. The base line to this manager, that despite having a sign up in full view if the members of public, saying that camera's were being installed as 25.00 is going missing from the till, his staff were right and the customer was wrong. Whilst we walked out of an empty establishment, snide comments could been uttered by the staff behind the bar. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone , not even my dog!!

Visited with my wife one week after opening-day of this very cute, welcoming and atmospheric restaurant. Superb menu choice with great-value lunch list. High quality food and friendly attentive service. Very tasty steak and ale pie with lovely thin pastry lid and real chips! Equally satisfying mussels main dish. Yummy dessert - basil pannacotta with champagne-marinated strawberries - simply the best! Overall, wonderful value for money with a very reasonably priced wine-list. Don't delay in visiting this little gem!

Nice layout. Second visit. However disappointed the second time. Poor service as wanted drinks and did not get anyone to come to table to lace order. When we did finally it took 20 mins for drinks. Food was disappointing as there was insuffient food in the pots. Felt awful getting more than one seek kebab as I knew the other members of my party would not get any otherwise. Really wanted a pakora but there weren't any in the pots. Even on my second visit to the counter. There were no nan to eat my food. Had to keep asking. Then to top it off the food was cold. Sadly won't be returning.

We give the restaurant a ten, the food and service was very good. Keep it up.

Went for a birthday meal with the family yesterday and was looking forward to it (mainly the hotpot). When mine arrived, it was flat and appeared to have been cooking for a long time compared to the one my daughter got. It tasted ok to begin with but as I got to the bottom of the dish, it was quite salty and inedible. My daughter arranged for a birthday cake to be brought out. The staff were kind enough to light the candles, despite being busy but didn't bring any knife to cut the cake nor any plates. We asked for a knife to cut the cake but it never arrived. In the end, we asked for the box twice before we got it so we could take it home. No one had any cake. After looking forward to the meal, all I can say is what a let down. May be we were treated this way because we aren't regular customers.
