We visited this gem of a pub first time for a themed Italian Evening. Lovely welcome, interesting selection of dishes, worth just a little wait, because everything is freshly prepared and home-cooked - and it shows in wonderful taste and presentation. A fine drop of...wine and (so my beer-drinking friends tell me) a great pint are always available. While we visited primarily for the food, the pub oozes that friendliness of a lively "locals' pub", and I'm sure we would enjoy the Fountain Inn also for an after-walk pint or two.More

Visited recently and was pleasantly surprised by the food choices. Was reluctant to visit due to the many recent changes of owners etc but no complaints this time. Good choice of food, beers and the staff were welcoming.Nice to have the choice of some classic...pub food. Worth a visit.More

Where do I start with such a amazing pub! The food is mouth watering and always served with passion. But what really makes this pub the best pub around are the owners, so polite and always up for a chat! If your in the local...area I highly recommend you stop for a pint!More

We paid a visit to The Fountain as we were staying locally. It seems to be a ‘locals’ pub, which is certainly not a bad thing (after all these folk are the bread and butter of pubs), but to have bar staff chatting to those...at the bar, and therefore ignoring you when you’re waiting to buy a drink isn’t great. We ordered food (pizzas) about 5 minutes before the kitchen opened. Service was slow; we waited for 50 minutes for the pizzas to arrive, and our starter arrived at the same time, we then waited a further 10 minutes for the final pizza to arrive (the order was wrong apparently). The pizzas weren’t anything special, although the breaded halloumi was good. All in all, it was ok, but we won’t be rushing back.More

In short: Great and sweet staff. Great locals, great food. Nice atmosphere. A lovely time. Will come back.

We had lunch here last Friday and sat outside enjoying the sun. The food was all freshly cooked using high quality ingredients. Nice friendly man serving behind the bar. Will visit again.

The website for this pub looks great, but the reality is not so good. There were areas which looked neglected: we thought of sitting outside but there was scruffy garden furniture piled up outside the door. The guy serving drinks was doing so while on...the phone and service was slow. We had gone for lunch not fancy the food as a result of these things so left after just a drink.More

I have been to this pub several times, each time the food and service have been fantastic without a fault. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Highly recommended if your looking for a great Sunday roast!!9

The main problem with the Fountain is its inconsistency. My husband and I went there for a meal recently and it was very poor. The service was appalling, we waited an hour for our food. When it arrived it was only lukewarm but as we'd...been waiting so long we didn't send it back. The food itself was ok but nothing special. I had pork belly roulade, allegedly with creamed mash potato but there were huge lumps of potato in it. Not what I'd call creamed or mashed! The serving staff are always young girls who don't seem to know what they are doing. We ordered two glasses of cabernet sauvignon and one of them brought us two glasses of white wine! Having said all this, the time before when we ate there we had a lovely meal with prompt friendly service. Hence my heading of inconsistent - you just don't know what you're going to get. It's just a question of whether you want to chance it or not.More

Great staff, great food and pleasant atmosphere. I have been here throughtout the day and evenings and have always been made to feel welcome.

My husband, daughter and I ate here recently. There were a few people outside enjoying the evening sunshine and having a drink, but only one other couple eating and they finished almost as soon as we arrived. The food was sound enough although the portions...were very large. My husband ordered the gammon with duck eggs and said that the eggs were fantastic, but he was put off by the numerous slices of cold gammon which he could not finish and thought that a gammon steak would have made for a much better meal. My daughter has a good appetite but could not eat all her sausages and mash with huge crispy onion rings. I managed most of a nice steak with really delicious peppercorn sauce and more of the huge crispy onion rings. Chips were good but overall there was just too much food on our plates. A bit less would have been more appetising. The lack of any other diners did create a lack of atmosphere, although we still enjoyed eating out together. Would we return? Probably not. Not that the food was bad-it was mostly fine-but we were a bit underwhelmed overall.More

My husband and I had a wonderful fish and chip lunch - all freshly cooked, hot and great value for money. Thoroughly recommend - the chef is excellent!
