    Great food and the staff are great. Don't go without a lift home as no Taxi will come. Apparently they are black listed but no fault of the Thatch. Just local taxis are not interested in the fare. Great pub though

    Excellent food and service as always, hadn't been since pre covid, but food was still the same high standard as previously. Hope to visit again soon.

    Love this spot. Food is delicious, try the Chicken BLT burger. Lovely atmosphere for all times. From a quiet lunch with a friend to a large family function they provide top notch service and a friendly atmosphere.

    Really friendly and efficient staff. Food was brought out so quickly. Our meals were delicious and the portions very generous. The cappuccino was the best I ever had (and I've had A LOT)! We will definitely go back.

    A great find! Staff were excellent.... particularly grateful that staff were knowledgeable about and attentive to food allergies, portions were generous but just right, food really delicious and atmosphere relaxed. A great spot for family with two young children.

    I've done a lot of reviews on Google and very rarely find any fault with places. Food was tasty and portion sizes fine. My 10yr old girl and 8yr old boy were still hungry after their kids meals but I still think the portion were fine and price was £6 which was fine. Main problem was that we had booked and arrived 5mins early. We got shown to our seats promptly but not offered a high chair at first and we planned to ask when food or drink was being ordered but it took 20mins for anyone to come back to us. Once ordered the food arrived in 15mins and it was nice, but the high chair was forgotten and had to ask again. We had ordered a small spud/veg/gravy for a 1 yr old but it was forgotten too. The kids meal comes with a small red sauce which my boy finished quickly. We were unable to catch anyone's attention to ask for more despite them walking past us maybe 3-4 times. We probably should have just got up and went to find them or went to bar to ask for more sauce but normally we don't have to. We were served by 4 different staff, they were all very polite but just those things mentioned above was frustrating. Waiting for those 20mins with hungry kids is hard. Otherwise atmosphere was fine, quiet and spacious, prices were fine. But while £78 for a family of 6 is reasonable considering the 3 cokes, 1 pint and desserts for everyone it'll be hard to justify booking again. I've included photos too. Kids had a sundae (choc ice cream in metal bowl) or a kids fudge cake £2. Adults had 2 course for £20. Good food and good dessert (brownie with ice cream, custard and sponge). The baby bowl portion was big and in a big plate, also in the picture
