Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our visit was a little while ago now, but we remember it well. I am not going to say it is the most exciting Chinese food I have ever eaten, I am also sure that it was food prepared with great care and attention. We...had plenty to eat, enjoyed really fresh flavours, and just felt very well looked after by the staff and particularly the chef. The menu had a good selection of different dishes and what we chose was beautifully prepared and presented. I'm not often in that part of the country, but I would definitely go again if I have the opportunity.More

We recently held a wake for a family member in the lounge area of the Grey Horse Inn. The service and attention we received was excellent. Jane, the owner, was very kind and prepared a very good buffet for us with drinks readily available. She...was welcoming and made sure everyone had first class attention. Whilst it was a sad occasion, the excellent way we were looked after certainly helped us all feel a little better. The family appreciated how kind everyone was.More

We called for takeaway at 6:15. They have an estimate of 30 to 60 minutes, with them calling 10 minutes before pickup. I came at 7:15; they had not started to cook it yet. 45 minutes later, I am still waiting for my order. It...will be the last one!More

If you think you have eaten good Chinese food before The Grey Horse beats them all. We had two starters and four different dishes to share between a party of four and every one was superb. No comparison to the run of the mill carry...outs we normally go to. Everything is home cooked to order from scratch by Paul and his food would not be out of place in a top notch restaurant. Jane and the staff were all friendly and attentive. Nothing too much trouble. Would not hesitate to recommend dining at The Grey Horse and we will definitely be going again.More

This was such a friendly, homely, family run place. Best Chinese food I've had in a long time. We travelled from Northern Ireland and didn't know where to eat. This place did not disappoint. Highly recommend it.

A takeaway was ordered from The Grey Horse for a family meal and although the menu posted on social media was limited I was reassured that any dishes not on there could be cooked on request. My choices were listed but chicken in batter with...sweet and sour sauce for my wife was not. Despite this, the request was made and they duly delivered. My chicken and sweetcorn soup was lovely and got my taste buds tingling for the main course - chicken satay with egg fried rice. It too was good, but one criticism I have to make was the sauce was a bit thin compared to the same dish I've had from other takeaways and slightly weakened the flavour. I would order from here again but perhaps opt for a different main course to see if that made any difference.More
