Dirty carpet full of bits of food.

Table was on a complete slant and was sat in a very low chair so was practically neck height with the table, asked to move they said they had no other tables despite there being multiple empty tables seen the whole time we were there. 

Long black hair stuck to pint glass (neither of us have this hair)

Asked for double meat this did not come, waitress said she would check but didnt come back. 

Went to take a bite of the meat on our roast and the meat was cold, then realised the rest of the meal was also cold (it had been at the table for maximum 2 minutes. The food was not even luke warm it was cold. 

Told staff, no apology given they just asked if we wanted to change it but after already having waited 30 minutes for a cold plate we wanted to leave.

No apology given, still charged for drinks despite everything.

do not reccomend.

All round bad experience, dirty, uncomfortable seating/ table and stone cold roast dinner.

5 of us went for lunch. The others enjoyed their meal (hence 2 stars) however my meal was awful. 
I had pie of the day Steak, Mushroom and Ale with chips and peas. 
I can honestly say probably the worst pie I have ever eaten. The beef was so scarce and every single little piece of it covered in fat and/or gristle.
I realised later that what I thought was extra lumps of fat in the gravy was actually raw pastry from the base of the pie. It was hard to tell what I was eating … but it definitely wasn’t meat.  I left most of it. 
I’d already returned my chips to be re-cooked as they were very pale and some of the bigger ones underdone.
I also got much fewer chips than everyone else. 
Poor portion control is a fatal mistake in my books. 
Very disappointing. 


Avoid Pie of the Day

The property had a tacky feel to all surfaces…. The doors ( notably the entrance doors) and also the dining tables.
 
The was an odd odour as you enter 

The stair carpet to the rooms was grubby & dirty.

The room was small in need of TLC 

The shower was the smallest I’ve ever encountered.

The floor boards creaked so much with other guests in the next room that it kept us awake.

Didn’t enjoy the evening meal.

The staff were friendly for breakfast & accommodating but the food served had a tainted taste.

The sat nav took us on an unmade dreadful road with huge pot holes…. There was no warning on the web site this could happen.



Disappointed 

The pub was beautiful and the staff always went beyond. The landlord was lovely and helped us when we were stuck. Breakfast was freshly cooked with plenty of choice. The rooms were nice and clean. We would stay again. 

Wedding party of 6

Waited 2 hours for awful food, overcharged and had to request a refund. The staff should not be working in customer facing roles! They are rude and unprofessional! I wish I would have read all of the recent reviews on here first before I went! 

Awful experience, rude staff and terrible food!

We had to wait an hour and a half for some crappy Sunday dinner which was stone cold and we didn't even get our starters served to us the staff were incredibly rude, the boy with the ginger hair looked like he'd had  enough. 

Shame on you 😕 

Absolutely atrocious 

We stayed here for one night. Very cold and snowy night but when we walked into the bar area it was lovely, warm and welcoming. We stayed in The Duck room where the bathroom is actually across a very small corridor area but is for the exclusive use of that room. Because it is at the top of the building it is in essence an en suite and very private. The room was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Good free Wi-Fi in all areas. We dined in the bar and the food was delicious. All the staff were friendly, professional and attentive. The only blip for our stay was breakfast. We were told this started at 9am but Jason overslept so he didn't open up until 9 20am. However, despite looking worse for wear he pulled off breakfast really well. The coffee was good. All the food was served and presented well and was fresh, hot and tasty. All in all it's a really good little B & B and we'll definitely return. Amazingly good value for the standard received. 

Excellent stay

We haven’t been to the Strawbury Duck since well before lockdown. It was a beautiful day and there were lots of walkers and dogs about. The atmosphere is cosy, friendly and very welcoming. The staff were very helpful, professional and attentive.
I ordered the lamb shoulder and it was absolutely excellent - the lamb had obviously been very slow cooked and then pulled off the bone, served with delicious Dauphinoise potatoes and green vegetables. I’ll definitely be ordering this again! My husband had the hanging kebab which was huge!! He really enjoyed it but after trying mine I think he’ll be having the lamb next time! What a lovely Saturday afternoon we had at this charming out of the way pub.
We were lucky and managed to get a table but I will definitely book ahead next time as it is a very popular place.

Best lamb ever!!

Spent the night here! Food and hospitality were excellent. Room was beautiful quiet, clean and comfy. Will be returning very soon. Beautiful breakfast enjoyed every second of our stay! Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!

An hour wait for food. We ordered food at same time as drinks to save time. All other tables who came in after us got served within 30 minutes.  
Very disappointing. Won’t be coming again!! It’s not the first time this has happened. A simple warning from staff that there is a long wait would have been good etiquette. 
Thanks for spoiling what should have been a lovely day 👍
