    Excellent food and choice on the Festive Menu. Service was outstanding (I wish I’d got the name of the waitress), nothing was too much trouble.

    Sunday lunch very tasty, lots of veg & gravy, love the mini desserts. Would only add that the dinners could’ve been a bit hotter. Husband would’ve liked more than 2 slices of Turkey for the price.

    Remnants of a meal featuring roasted vegetables, including broccoli and potato, alongside traces of a flavorful sauce and a lemon wedge, suggesting a satisfying dining experience.

    I took my sister and a friend for my last Sunday meal before moving back down to Exeter after spending seven years in Blyth and Cramlington. It proved to be am excellent decision. The waitress was personable and attentive throughout our excellent meal. Later I went back to the table to pick up my "leaving card" to buy it was gone I informed a member of staff and found it in the dumb waiter . I was very impressed with their efforts to find it. Thanks all for a splendid day!

    The staff were friendly but service was very slow. We waited over ten minutes before someone came to take our drinks order. Later we sat with empty glasses and tried to get the attention of the staff to order more drinks, in the end, my husband went to the bar to ask. There were also several menu choices that were unavailable. I appreciate it was busy, but there didn’t seem to be anyone in charge and taking control of the situation. There was no apology for the wait. I hope this was just a one off as I have previously had excellent service there.

    Attractive pub and restaurant with the friendliest professional staff. Food was tasty and hot although had better chips. Only fault is the cost. Really rather expensive . That said, Happy to Return.

    Wonderful pub, with very friendly staff. Sunday lunch was excellent with everything cooked perfectly. The minute you walk in the door it’s such a simply charming atmosphere in a wonderful old building. Will be back!!

    Food was excellent. Steak was cooked to perfection. Happy with the service . Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back again. Black Forest plant pot dessert was wonderful. It was great to see a dessert menu that didn’t have ice cream with everything.

    We often eat at a different “Vintage Inn” pub. We ate at the Snowy Owl for a change as we were travelling a different route. We were disappointed at their inflexibility over the menu. The vegetarian options are a bit limited. I asked if some different vegetables (that were listed elsewhere on the menu) could be added as pizza toppings. Apparently this was impossible(!) (And apparently that came direct from the chef…) We were disappointed.

    The food was lovely but when you serve up I think you need to clean around your sauce boats etc for a better representation on the plate I also don’t think the waiters should reach over to hand you your meal they should go behind that person so your tables need to be a bit further apart for this to happen otherwise enjoyed will be coming back many thanks
