    Good, simple food. Chicken curry was simple but very good. Veggie curry was peas, carrots, curry sauce and rice. Bit disappointed in one of the deserts. Apple crumble turned out to be a ramekin with warm sliced apples, crumble and apple sauce. I’d prefer the apples to be cooked. Good beer, helpful staff and friendly atmosphere.

    We enjoyed a very fine lunch. My steak sandwich, ordered medium rare was absolutely perfectly done and was as good a steak as I had in manys a day. I have no hesitation in recommending Rice's.

    Had a meal here on Sunday with my siblings 11 of us, there was a very good selection on the menu of starters and main courses, wll presented, and couldn't fault the service, the restaurant is a little dated could do with a makeover, but other than that quite an enjoyable experience.

    Call at Rice's following a guide walk of the village by the historical society. The staff were very friendly. I had my grandson with me who cried when he spilt his juice, the barman came straight over cleaned up the spill and got him some more juice. I wasn't very hungry and wanted a lite bite, the staff were very accommodating and offered me a child portion.

    Very nice food, we had an early seating and it was very nice. I would visit again, but not great for vegetarian options.

    I have been going to Rice's for years, it is the most consistently good restaurants around. Service is excellent and it has the best steak sandwich money can buy. Although it should come with mushrooms and or tomatoes. Deserts are delicious and kids meals. Starters have got expensive.

    Great experience. Was a crowded night but they got me seated at the bar. Steak was very good, Guinness poured perfectly. Service was great even though the place was super busy and crowded.

    We shared a super tasty pizza (The grumpy goats), the pizza dough was roasted and served just at the best time. Additionally I had a fish n chips, I loved the way they chopped potatoes 🤩🤩🤩 it made the chips 10/10. And the most impressive one was my expresso martini, the bartender made it and dressed it to a high quality drink, almost like took it out for from a picture of a cocktail bible. And yeah, usually I had my camera hd the meal first, but all these were too good tonight, so that I forgot the camera aside 🙃. The best way for whoever read this is to walk in and order anyway.

    Never fails to please. We have family nearby and coming to this place is always a highlight. Great traditional friendly warm welcome as ever and great straightforward food at a reasonable price. Best pint of Guinness for miles around too. Sincere thanks to the team. See you soon 😀

    Good food. Large portions, pleasant and friendly staff. Unfortunately very noisy when I was there and couldn't hear myself think. Poor acoustics.

  • 3/5 Nicole W. 1 year ago on Google
    Disappointing, ordered the lasagne and it come with a hair, then got another and it was burnt and real hard round the sides, and it was much smaller. Another meal that we order was the main beef bruschetta, very poor serving for the money. Will not go back, pitty as we had heard all good things about this place
