Food was good. Clean and tidy. Staff were friendly, but service was inefficient - not particularly busy, but waited one-hour for main meal.

Appreciate it was a little busy being Father’s Day. The meat was beautiful but the veg was just warm- the potatoes over cooked. Had we come earlier I’m sure it would have been much better. But I feel no matter what time you arrive, the food should be consistent. My toddler was too hungry and it was too busy to make a fuss. Over all we enjoyed it, it just could have been much better.

Overall the standard of service and food was very good. Staff were all friendly and looked after us well. Order for food was taken promptly and our dog was also provided with a bowl of water which was very kind. Food was good but the way the vegetables were presented could have been better. Prices for desserts were quite expensive given selection on offer

Really enjoyed our meal at The Hayloft with our friends. It was unfortunate the online booking system had permitted us to book a table for the previous Monday when the restaurant was in fact closed. It was also disappointing that we did not get a response from you when we emailed about the error in your online system that allows people to book a table, receive email confirmation and email reminder of a booking when the restaurant is closed.

A wonderful evening, the menu was excellent and the food excellent. Prices were very reasonable and portions generous. The staff were charming, and replaced a bottle of wine for us without quibbling. The decor and improvements made since I last visited have really come off and we had a wonderful evening
