Lovely waitress - Charlotte who so attentive. The food surpassed my expectations. It was fresh and fulfilling. I also got a mini bottle of bubbly and card from the team on the house to celebrate my birthday. A lovely touch. Will visit again

Staff were all very welcoming. The meat and roast potatoes were fabulous. Unfortunately the cauliflower was totally dried up, the red cabbage was heavily laced with cinnamon and the carrots seemed to have some sort of curry flavoured spice on them which was a little unusual on a traditional Sunday lunch, the other vegetables were very nice. I think I should also mention that when I booked I had viewed the website Sunday lunch was priced at £13.00. I was surprised when the bill came that it had increased to £15.50, it might be worth amending on the website to avoid any future surprised customers. Thank you for the opportunity to leave feedback.

We were disappointed by the service during our visit. It didn't match our expectations. I ordered coffee on three separate occasions - only to be told there was a big queue downstairs (there was no queue visible when members of our party went downstairs yo use the facilities!) We arrived and completed our main course prior to the neighbouring table yet they were offered puddings, drinks etc ahead of us. We requested the bill. It did not arrive and so we asked waiting staff if we could go downstairs to pay. They responded by saying our bill was just coming. Then, when they brought it to our table, we were told to go downstairs to pay. I also felt that being g called 'mate' by waiting staff was quite inappropriate for an establishment that charges £19 for a meal. It was an experience that we do not wish to repeat, despite enjoying the food served!

What a wonderful place! From the minute we walked in we felt a really positive vibe. We both opted for roast beef, which was delicious. Every component was very flavourful and tasty. Can’t wait to come back!

The standard of the Hayloft has dropped dramatically.Not a great selection on the menu and what we ordered was very bland.The table itself was tacky to touch.We won’t be returning.
