Coopers Carvery

Restaurant Bar Pub

😐 The veg on the carvery looked like it was from 3 hours ago so a little refresh would be great it's not all about profit use smaller display dishes. The waitress was great so the quality of the food let it down. People often mention carvery, staff, friendly, great, table, service, helpful, lovely, manager,

    Todays visit was an absolute joke - you order at the bar and get told to choose a table, choose a table and get told you can’t sit there as it’s booked (no reserve sign). The actual carvery was beyond a joke. Meat was dry and tough (gammon) and the beef tasted more like corned beef than roast beef. Very off putting. Mash is clearly powdered and the carrots looked like they went off 2 weeks ago. Stuffing was like concrete, you could actually damage someone with a lump of that stuff. Terribly disappointing and it has gone down hill. 4 stars for Natasha on the bar who was warm, welcoming and friendly. The rest of it - shocking. £50 for 2 adults and 1 kid with a soft drink each and a carvery. Terrible food & terrible value.

    Went to coopers for a meal with the family . Haven’t been there for over a year. Carvery was quite different from when we last visited although Still very enjoyable. Was greeted at the door by whom Im assuming was the manager very smartly dressed and most welcoming It was a very busy evening but she still managed to sit all 7 of us. Was very grateful as She took it upon herself to look after us for the duration of our visit helped my mother who is elderly with disability, she arranged with the chef for my mum to have a childrens meal as the carvery is way too big for her, Great experience in all and my mother absolutely loved this lovey lady, we also asked about sunday lunches and was immediately booked in for week sunday and my mum was guaranteed this lady would be looking after her again, We look forward to our next visit

    Excellent service and a great carvery. Plenty of parking. Why shop and cook at these prices?

    I have been going here for a number of years now but over the past 6 weeks they have really taken it the service, atmosphere and food up to another level! The staff are kind and friendly and the manager couldn't be any more helpful. A must visit!

    We normally have a carvery here which is lovely but when we got there at 6.30 the carvery was closed. We were disappointed so we had steak and ale pie, chips, peas and gravy. When it came it was cold, they heated it up for us, it was nice. The manager was very helpful and polite. Toilets are up 6 stairs, disabled parking and entrance. Good for kids here, variety on menu, seating outside, comfortable atmosphere. Go early to get a great carvery.

    We came to Coopers as a little family reunion as we hadn't seen each over for years, and wow did they make it amazing! We arrived around 12:30 and had the host Mason give us the warmest welcome, he explained the procedure on how to order and to let him know if we needed anything else. We went up to the bar and had a lovely waitress server us and help us take our drinks to our tables. When we made our way up to the deck we knew we were going to enjoy the meal just from the smell. The veg was piping hot all the way through and the gravy was perfect! Meat portions was amazing and I still left some on my plate! My friend who is vegetarian tried the sausages as a supplement and she couldn't stop saying how much she loved them. Staff checked up on us often and always made sure we had a drink on the table. When it came to dessert I decided I could squeeze a bit more in as a treat and went for the Rocky Road Sunday and wow! the thing was bigger than I am! Will be returning soon and can't wait!

    We were visiting the area and looked on Google for somewhere to have Sunday Lunch. The thought of a carvery appealed to us. I booked a table online, during our journey. We were greeted and seated very quickly. We noticed some people arriving without a booking who were having to wait, so booking in advance was worthwhile. We all had the carvery, which had a good selection of meats and massive Yorkshire puddings! There were several vegetables to chose from. Some larger bits of the cauliflower were too hard to eat, and the carrots were on the hard side, but the rest was fine. We were given a charger plate with our plates, even though the plates were cold. The staff were all helpful and we enjoyed our meal.

    Visited Coopers last week with a friend. We ordered the Hunters Chicken and the steak and ale pie and both were delicious. Staff were very attentive, particularly the manager Mark. The price was also very reasonable. We would both recommend and return.

    Visited on Christmas Day and the whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. Restaurant was well decorated with Christmas decorations and looked as though a lot of effort had been made. Food was excellent overall and was very prompt. The staff were very attentive and made every effort to ensure we had a great Christmas. The manager Mark was very welcoming and ensured that all the customers including myself and my family had a very special day. Would highly recommend and will certainly be visiting again.

    Visited today for Sunday lunch. Lush food. The gentleman who served us was fab. I think his name was Wyatt. Fab service. Really friendly. Staff met our requirements when asked for a quite table if possible due to children having sensory disabilities. Thank you coopers, lovely food, hats off to the chef👨‍🍳 and thank you Wyatt for your amazing service and friendly personality. We will be back 5⭐️ from us.

    We didn't stay. Big sign outside saying 2 for £13 but when we arrived we were told not on Sundays (that's the main day that you would want a carvery) limited menu and nothing for the kids. Pretty expensive for a family so we left and went elsewhere.

    Visited approximately 9 times since 2019. Nice size car park, tidy clean bar and dining area. Food varies between dry (gravy helps) and excellent. Reasonable price in the week...expensive on a Weekend.

    Absolutely wonderful atmosphere made even better by the brilliantly friendly, professional, polite and helpful staff. The food was DELICIOUS, fantastic value for money. Definitely going to be regulars here, made my first carvery experience THE BEST!

    Consistently brilliant- don’t change anything- staff always helpful and efficient and food always spot on. They do what they do extremely well. We are regular customers and pick it over many other places because it’s consistent and good value thanks

    We visited yesterday with my 2yrs old, food was absolutly amazing, all staff was very friendly n the manager super nice, I had to use a bathroom but my little man didn't wanted to leave the table so he throw a little tantrum as there was just two of us I couldn't left him alone so the lovely dark haired manageress offered to watch him for me while I quickly went to toilet, while I was coming back I notice my little boy its laughing his face off as she made funny faces to keep him occupied. Absolutely recommended the place to everyone. Definitely going to go back there.

    I booked a table of 8 with a wheelchair. We were greeted and seated by a lovely lady. She was very helpful and understanding as my party was mainly of special needs. I could not fault them at how patient she was and how she took time to talk to my clients. Will recommend to all
