This is one of my favourite places to eat and have Sunday lunch, but tonight I was really disappointed, it was my 50th birthday today and 8 of us went for a family meal and we felt that we was not acknowledge from the moment we walked in. I had to go and get my own menus off the bar once we had decided what to have to eat I had to ask for someone to take our order, no member of staff throughout our meal asked anyone of us if everything was ok. I then had to ask to order desserts and then also ask again for the bill. The food was very nice but the service was awful. The place was not busy at all and there was ample staff to cope with the amount of people present in the restaurant. Disappointed We are disappointed that our staff gave you poor service during your visit but equally as disappointed that you felt it necessary to wright such a harsh review(bearing in mind we are one of your favourite places to eat).When you dine with us again please make yourself know to the owner to help us identify the staff members and discuss more discreet and appropriate ways of raising any concerns that you may have and also for you to confirm that you have written positive reviews when you enjoyed your previous visits.

Away for the week on a boating holiday, see the Maltsters a few times and decided to come for our friends birthday dinner. Not sure of times and actually arrived 15 minutes after dinner closing time, however they were happy to serve us and really pleased they were as the meal was gorgeous. Service and food were excellent and all the staff were lovely. Would highly recommend and we will be back for another meal before we leave for home

7. Kings Head Inn

Went for lunch - never again. Walk in to find cleaning lady gazing into her phone whilst surrounded by Henry the Hoover and other junk (it was lunchtime). Young boy of school age also mooching around bar area lounging on all the furniture gazing into his phone, feet all over the seats. Asked for two coffees and lunch menu. Coffees got forgotten but sadly the lunch which was ordered wasn't. A chicken and bacon sandwich that looked like it had been lumped together with a sledge hammer. Barman had to take orders for the entire 6 people who had ordered again. Waited 40 minutes for sandwiches to arrive. Given the competition in the area and other venues that seem far more keen to serve and sell good food and drink, its a shame this place couldn't even deliver a basic level of service or standard of food.

Very disappointed My husband and I sat down at a very sticky table after ordering our meal so we moved to another which was just as sticky (we did see a young girl with a sponge and a plastic box with water in it wiping over tables but no spraying with a kitchen anti bac or giving tables a good wipe)our meals came out relatively quickly quite good portions I had lasagne and my hubby had BBQ ribs My lasagna looked odd it had no melted scauce on top but rather two very solid blocks of rubbery scauce and I couldn't make my mind up if it was a microwave meal the meat was tasteless and watery I ate half but just couldn't eat the rest my hubbys meal was average.The toilets were awful need updating but that doesn't excuse them not being cleaned!!! my husband was about to use the toilet and couldn't as the landlady went in to use it ( very strange )The young lady who took our order was very nice well mannered.The location is beautiful but it's let down by food and definitely cleanliness.Firstly thank you for saying that the staff member who served you was very nice and well mannered, thatâs always good to hear. Now, I am a little confused as I donât understand why me using the toilet would stop your husband from using a toilet? There are more than one available and funnily enough I donât use the Menâs?! I am really not quite sure why is âvery strangeâ that I use the toilet? A little enlightenment on that one perhaps! I will agree with you that the toilets are in desperate need of updating and this is already scheduled for this winter. I can assure you that they are not dirty. They are thoroughly cleaned and mopped every day. The pub tables are definitely due for a resurface and are cleaned with hot soapy water as anti bac spray leaves a film on the tables which causes the stickiness. We always resurface our tables during our annual two week shut down in the new year so apologies if your table was âstickyâ I can assure you that they are not dirty and you have said yourself that you witnessed them being cleaned. Now the food, we are exceptionally proud of our food and have an excellent reputation, as well as a 5 star food hygiene rating. I can only apologise that the lasagne was not to your taste but as we make and sell over 100 portions a week without issue we shanât be changing the recipe,Sorry

I spent a couple of days in a motorhome in Thurne. I visited the Lion 4 times. If you like a huge choice of drinks including ales/gin this is it. It's like being at a beer festival. Helped by having lots of lively visitors off the boats and the campsites and the staff were great. I last visited about eight years ago ,,, wow how this place has changed. On the Monday night it was packed ... so they must be doing lots right. Love it.Thank you so much for your great review! Being a free house we always maintain a great selection of ales, ciders and draught beers - we are really happy that you enjoyed these.FYI - We allow motor homes to stay over night in our car park from October through to March - we recommend following us on Facebook & Instagram for regular updates of our winter events and food and drink promotions.We hope you visit us again soon.RegardsRachel & the team

Whilst on holiday in Upton, this little village pub caught our eye on arrival. We ate here 3 times and were never disappointed. Community run, all the staff were young friendly folk with lots of chat. The menu consists of authentic pub grub with tje odd special thrown in. We sampled delights ranging from burgers, steak pie, lamb roast, fish and chips also on this menu was lasagne, curry of the day, salads, steak, gammon, chicken. All our meals were healthy portions, arrived hot and very tasty.

We stopped here as good moorings available right outside pub. Mooring free daytime and £5 overnight refunded against good. Service was good and shown to table and drinks for for us on arrival. We stick to main courses as wanted desserts. Both main courses good but surpassed by desserts. The cheese and biscuits great, nicely presented with chutney salad celery lots of cheese and biscuits. So many places out no effort into this so was good to see. The enormous chocolate gutbuster filled my partner. All in all recommendable especially if boating.
