Good food and resonable prices. Friendly staff. It was nice and busy with quite a lot of customers.

The welcome, the room, and the decor were excellent. I stayed for 4 nights, for me, this was a little bit much. The pub is on a very busy junction with juggernauts going past often, even into the night, very noisy in the room, and...quite often made me jump and woke me up. If not lorries, then there were noisy boy racers or motorbikes. Clearly this is not the pubs fault, but 2 nights at most would be OK. The breakfast was OK as a continental, but again, a bit much for 4 mornings, bananas were over ripened, no butter 2 mornings, even though I had told staff, and mouldy crumpets one morning. Just little things that are important, that were missed. My bed was made daily, but no cleaning done, bin not emptied or loo roll replaced. I bought some butter and left it there in the fridge. I had tissues with me for the bathroom. I had one meal in the pub while I was there, which was very good. The kitchen for the rooms was stocked well with a variety of drinks, so could have a hot drink at any time. Generally, as I said, 1 or 2 nights at The Porterhouse would be fine. This was booked for me through work, so I had no idea about the place before hand.More

This is our second great experience eating at the Porterhouse in the last couple of weeks. I don't normally write a review for all the places we visit on our travels (unless it is really bad!), but this is an exception based on the quality...of the venue and food and exceptional standard of friendly interactive service by staff. We chose to eat in the 'Tipi' on a warm summer evening and staff were thoughtful to locate our table with comfortable ventilation. Highly recommend a visit to try it out for yourselves.More

The tipi was a lovely setting with fairy lights, blankets and a cosy hot water bottle to keep us snug. The food was delicious and they were happy to adapt the menu to all our fussy requirements. The service was great too. A lovely night...and we will definitely be back!More

Had been here before with a friend so thought I would try again with my family. Absolutely shocking food. Ordered the beef bourguignon which on the menu said served with creamy mash and greens, the only way to explain was a dollop of mash with...what looked like a tin of stewing steak on top with a large portion of red cabbage on the side that clearly looked like it was being used up from Christmas! Lots of mushrooms added to the mix but not one piece of beef just tiny streaks of steak. Absolutely vile. Will not ever recommend or return.More

Very clean beautiful modern decor and nice con atmosphere we were met with as we came through the door greeted by a lovely young lady who took out order and showed us to our table. My friend had a duck pizza and I had a...Mediterranean platter and some small fries absolutely beautiful food very nicely presented perfectly cooked and brought out to us in a timely manner great prices.More

Staff were friendly. Food was awful, quesadillas vegie, missing the veg. Money has to stretch these days, wont be back. I complained about the lack of content, minimal cheese, one mushroom and olive and was told the chef would be told.the bill was not reduced,...awful.More

Could not fault it from service to atmos to food, thumbs up all round. Good choice of wines and mains. Tbh starters not such good choice but chose bread with oil and vinegar from add ons to main as a starter and was great. Dined...in the teepee and was so good, great idea. The gravy on the venison sausages and mash was just divine, I would drive 100 miles for that alone! Pudding we shared and was just right size. I will be thinking about this meal for a long time!More

Week night visit to our local eatery - didn’t book, and chose a table which was not cleared, but although really busy, staff very quickly cleared the table and took our order. Shredded beef chilli was suitably spicy and very well seasoned with rice. Try...the gammon steak, which was absolutely lovely, freshly grilled pineapple brought out the flavours alongside a fresh medley of green vegetables - a delightful meal!More

I looked forward to the meal as the setting was nice in the tipi outside. The starters were nice despite the flatbreads being burnt but the main was possibly the worst meal I've ever had in a restaurant. I ordered the Stuffed Chicken with roast...new potatoes and seasonal veg. The stuffed chicken itself was nice but the roast new potatoes were disgusting, tasteless with a hint of plastic. The veg was rubbery and difficult to eat. I won't be going back.More

Very nice outdoor eating area. The middle Eastern style Gazebo outside was very nice and cozy. We went with a group of friends in a very warm day but there were fans available and the Gazebo had open curtains around it to let the air...in. Food was good and every one liked it. Pizza was very nice and crispy . The only small criticism I have is that there is a small step over before getting into the Gazebo which is not marked properly and my friend tripped over it very badly. In a sunny and bright day, it is a lot darker inside and easily missed. He was lucky that his head did not hit the table in front of him. I brought it to the attention of the waiter and he didn't take it very seriously.More

Excellent food and service. Even though no children's menu they made an effort to make something for my 4 yo granddaughter.
