We booked in for a Christmas Breakfast with the elves. The kids were very excited, when we got there they were not disappointed. We were met by Donna the Elf and shown to our table, sat amongst other families enjoying the same event. Our order was taken and food arrived very quickly cooked perfectly and tasted great. The kids were given Christmas tree cookies to decorate, they had colouring in to do on the table, a letter to write to the big man and at the end of the meal they were each given some presents. We all had crackers which had vouchers for money off another meal, so much better than a cheap plastic toy, a lovely atmosphere, lovely food and attentive polite professional staff. Will be back here again soon.

We booked for an evening meal at The Running Horse 18/02/22 Our table was reserved on arrival by Donna and we were made to feel very welcome. Our server Arron introduced himself, and took our drinks order promptly. After receiving our wine, he took our food order. It arrived quickly and hot. My wife had the Vegan bourguignon mushroom pie with mash & Veg. It had a suet base with a flakey top, plenty of filling with baby shallots. It looked nice and my wife said it tasted good. I had Mega steak & scampi. The steak was cooked to my liking. Arron came back to make sure we were happy with everthing. Once finished our plates were cleared quickly. Arron asked if we would like dessert, but we were both too full from our mains. I would like to say a big thank you to Donna and all her staff, for the hard work and effort that they go to for their customer's. Very much appreciated. Can't wait till next week!

We enjoyed a lovely family meal at The Running Horse. We arrived for lunch and had a table reserved for us since we were a larger party. We were greeted warmly by all staff members. We asked for drink suggestions, which we were given, and were wonderful. There was a fun little indoor area for children, which my oldest daughter loved getting lollipops from. There was also a fun outdoor area for children. The team was very accommodating when it came to my daughter's food allergy and were able to answer all questions we had. The food was delicious! We had a lovely time and will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

Nice food, calm and clean. Just perfect, especially with a dog. Harley supplied a water bowl straight away after a long walk with the dog.
