    Absolutely amazing experience this afternoon at The Traveller's Well. T-Bone steak was cooked perfectly. Better than my experience at actual Steak Houses. And it was very reasonably priced! Staff were friendly and very accomodating when we explained to staff about my younger brother and his Sensory Processing Disorder. We asked to be moved to a quieter table, and they happily obliged. Very positive experience. Will return as soon as Covid allows us to!

    Food was delicious & served boiling hot! Food was all cooked from fresh with not a long wait time either. Very reasonably prices too.

    Whenever I visit the parents, they always take me and the family here. I can see why the service is outstanding and the food amazing. We are always welcomed with a friendly smile.

    A group of 5 adults and 2 children had a meal here last night. Food and service was fantastic. Not one of us had a problem. Even asked the question has anyone any food allergies. Don't get asked that very often.

    Booked a table for 2 at 6pm well in advance. Arrived to be told they needed the table back at 8. When i asked why i hadnt been informed before hand told they must have had another booking after. They had my number but didnt give me the curtesy of asking whether that was suitable or not. Went to La C instead. Been many times before but this was extremely poor customer service. In response to reply - Most restaurants DONT offer a 2 hour slot and if the do they let customers know in advance. If that is policy let customers know so they can make a choice. When we passed later resturant was quiet. More to do with lack of staff we think which has been evident on previous visits.

    Beautifully cooked food, excellent service and great value. Parking was a little tricky as their car park is very small, but once we found somewhere to leave the car, we were given a friendly welcome. Gluten free menu available with a wide selection including desserts. The staff were very much on the ball about allergens. A fantastic experience from start to finish, highly recommended.

    First time at the travellers well, service was really good considering they were busy. Food was excellent I had peppercorn chicken chips & my husband had the mint lamb. Would go back and I would recommend to friends &family.

    Went to the Travellers Well for a get together with our ukulele band. We were given the side room as we are all silver topped. We had a variety of different foods, they were all delicious and quite quick to serve nine of us at the same time. We have now booked for Christmas to have the same room and food

    If you love having dogs running around your feet and jumping up on your chair whilst you eat, then this is the place to go! I was sat having Sunday lunch with my family, when a couple sat on the table next to us. To my surprise, the couple had two dogs with them that were both allowed to jump up on the chair and roam around my feet and also try to jump up onto my wife’s chair whilst She was eating her Sunday dinner. The couple were also allowed to hold the dogs on their lap at the table. I’ve never been to a restaurant whereby dogs are roaming free, barking and crying whilst I eat my Sunday lunch. If I was made aware of this prior to booking, I most certainly would not have entertained dining here. As I was leaving, I then noticed another table that had a dog sat on the persons lap whilst she ate her food. The dog had long fluffy fur and appeared to be quite buoyant. I can’t begin to explain how unhygienic this was. who would want or expect to have dog hair flying around whilst you are eating your food?? Absolutely no one I would expect!! I certainly won’t be back again!

    Fair was in town, so rather quiet. Had plaice and chips, best chips I've had for a long time. The young staff were great, kept the drinks flowing. A very pleasant evening.

    Went here for Sunday lunch to celebrate my birthday. The Sunday dinner was amazing but the service was really poor. We requested the menus for dessert but after 30 mins of waiting, gave up which spoilt things for me. The customer service we received upon settling up and leaving was really poor and they didn't seem that bothered that they'd lost our dessert order.

    Wonderful. Obviously a popular place for Sunday lunch as it was still in full service at 2.30 when we arrived . We had our lunch at 3 . We didn't have starters . Tasty ,tasty Sunday lunch and well worth it. Very, reasonable prices too. Well done. Front of house staff were all very attentive and checked we were ok on numerous,timely occasions. You all worked so hard and your timings and team work were impeccable. House Wine at £3.40 a glass ! I'll be back 😄

    6 of us came here for a meal for my sons 18th birthday, good choice meals, was delicious, freshly made, served hot and reasonably priced. My son had a steak which was cooked to perfection. Didn't have to wait long for meals. Delicious deserts, lovely and attentive staff. Definitely recommend and will be going back again

    We had a Sunday dinner there today, it was great apart from the child like size portions vegetables in the adult meals. Which most perplexing, as the meat portions. Were far from the chain restraunt whaffer slices and so tender and cooked well it could be cut with a spoon. And the gallons of delicious gravy I could happily drink by the pint. As for more? This was considered as 2 boats came to one veg. But on seeing the same on other tables and no informed that was an option so not asked *

    Staff are all very friendly and welcoming, food is always piping hot and you're not rushing your meal. Lovely friendly atmosphere well done.

    Absolutely disgusting! Order for takeaway Sunday lunch on 6th November placed on Friday, 4th November. Daughter having lunch at the premises and was going to bring them home with her after her lunch. Was informed that there was no food left when she went to the bar to collect them. Waitresses having a laugh at the situation, practically in my daughters face!. I spoke with "man in charge "and was told,my daughter should have reminded them,oh yes of course she should have,silly me ,I forgot customers have to remind staff how to do their jobs!!!! "Tony" (man in charge)told me that they had provided 70 takeaway lunches and ours was the only ones not provided for,he was extremely ambivalent relaying this. My 93yr old dad had been waiting patiently for his lunch only to be told,there was none. Absolutely disgusted with not only the poor service (or rather no service) staff attitude was appalling, rude,discourteous and unprofessional. Will advise family and friends not to go there.

    Laat time, I visited this place, it was a pub. Was pleasantly surprised how well it has turned as a restaurant. Food was excellent. Service was abit slow but that was understandable as they had two big parties in.

  • 5/5 Victoria F. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing pub. We had Sunday lunch and desert the food was outstanding. The service from the waiters was friendly down to earth .I would recommend to anyone.we will be back soon and to try the week menu. We'll done nice to feel comfortable and welcomed .

  • 4/5 Rita G. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was excellent. A bit of a mix up with booking and first table we were given was very close to another party but we were moved on request without any issue. Had to wait about 30 minutes for food after order was taken. In response to your reply - ask your staff. There was a mix up with the booking as when we arrived we were told that we had not booked. It took 3 staff members and my idea of checking for phone number instead of name to sort it out.

    The Travellers Arms is fantastic. We went for my birthday, thoroughly enjoyed. I had the mixed grill, a large chicken breast, nice rump stake, lovely gammon and two sausages. The chips were homemade and fresh, all of this filling a plate that was two times the size of a normal one - all for £22! My mother and father each had a T-bone steak, taking up 1/4 of the same exceptionally large plate. It also came with homemade chips and salad. When my mother asked for her steak to be cooked a little more (which is only because she doesn’t like the slightest hint of pink) the staff were extremely willing to help and they even gave her fresh chips. All three meals for under £70 with huge portion sizes (so much so we took a lot of the steak home for the dog, who I assure you will accept it gratefully). Thank you for the excellent service, food and prices, I recommend for anyone who’s looking for a brilliant place to eat out. Will be back ASAP!!

    Food was good and plentiful, staff were nice and the setting was comfy. Traditional pub restaurant setting and the price was good especially since everything has gone up. Would recommend only slight issue is that the pub is on a busy road and have to park away and walk and there is a narrow walkway just before entrance and road quite busy.
