We have stayed here many times over the years and have always enjoyed our visits. The breakfasts and service were great but they no longer serve food including breakfast. The room was clean as usual but the fridge, spare pillows, iron and ironing board and biscuits have been removed. The heating comes on briefly in the morning but then goes off until 5.30pm.  We had to go out as the room was too cold to sit in around early afternoon.  The price of drinks have gone very expensive so we didn't use the bar. We had to pay our bill on arrival and that felt a bit hurtful as it appeared we were not to be trusted to pay on departure!

The staff we did see were very polite and friendly, but it appears that their main customer base for rooms now seem to be contractors/ lorry drivers rather than families etc. We have family close by so we visit annually. Unfortunately, we won't be staying again if the changes remain which would be such as shame.

Sadly not what it used to be

We called in for a very late lunch and were pleasantly surprised that they were more than happy to accommodate us despite the fact that they were at the "cleaning down" stage. Good food and good service

Good lunch

Basic and Web misleading Do not stay

We've stayed here many times as we have family close by. The pub and rooms have had a face lift since our last stay and have had new windows installed. We always try to book room 3 as it's the largest room with 2 double beds, 2 small sofas, and a coffee table. The staff were friendly and helpful and even though the rooms are over a pub you hear very little noise so slept well. The beds were also comfortable. 

The kitchens are currently closed so there was no breakfast included. We went to a nearby garden centre which did a good full English. The pub has a fabulous garden with play equipment if you have children to entertain. We would definately stay again the next time we visit from Wales.

Another good stay

We had a lovely stay at the Blue boar for a couple of nights away for my birthday. Great location good facilities staff are so friendly and very welcoming. Lovely meals had. Handy to get bus into town which stops across the road from the pub and they run very frequently. Will definitely be going back again soon.

Birthday stay at Blue boar

Every time I go here the staff are always welcoming, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food area and bar are clean and decorated nicely. The food is great, I had a Sunday roast today and it was really tasty and cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend

Fabulous staff!

Myself and family all enjoyed an absolutely fabulous dining experience at the Blue Boar.  It was a birthday celebration which was made extra special as the food was first class and the service was excellent. The started were delicious and the main courses were just spot on.

Family birthday evening meal.

So while walking the dog me and my partner stopped off for quick drink , my partner went in to order the drinks and a bowl of chips , my Guinness was poured from a can and when the chips arrived my partner counted 12  chips in her bowl for the sum of  £4:50 that’s 37.5 pence for one chip . Won’t be using this place again

Poor value

What has happened to this pub!!
Went for a quite meal with my husband. The food was lovely but that is all I can say.
The pub has had a makeover and not for the better, the decor is bland, we sat in the conservatory which used to be cosy and nice, now there are no curtains up the windows. The pub was so noisy because the sound just bounced back off the walls and echoed. We had a quick meal and left, which is a real shame as we would have stayed longer
This used to be a lovely pub but unfortunately we won't be going back

No longer a nice pub

The Blue Boar has had another revamp. It looks stunning. The food is awesome, although vegetarian options are limited. Waitresses were very efficient, friendly and made the experience very warm. The standard of food is the best it has ever been.
