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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Overall good place for light lunch, however management need to do something about the doorway into cafe. It opens directly into space and because it is in use all the time gives unacceptable draft wherever you are seated within. Spoilt an otherwise nice time. Food...wise, always fresh with good selection if somewhat pricey. Last visit our quiche had very little ingredients in the custard….literally had to seek out any bits ham within it did taste nice though. The ploughman’s was particularly good.More

Surprisingly long queue on Sunday afternoon, despite there being several empty tables. Service was rather slow but when the afternoon tea arrived it was spectacular! Enough food for four rather than the two it was meant for. I'd rather have smaller portions and a lower...price! But they did offer 'doggy bags'!More

Yet again another fabulous meal at fodder. The beef pie was simply great. Full of meat and veg in a nice flavoured sauce, served with sour cabbage. The quiche just melts in the mouth. Too marks for the chef. The customer service was good with...polite and helpful staff.More

I love Fodders and think it’s a great venue. Sadly last few times the food has not been great. The quiche has a scrambled egg texture and really not pleasant. Today I had a steak and blue cheese sandwich. The steak (small amount) was nice...as was the cheese however it was on soggy bread covered in tinned tomato and Luke warm. Such a shame.More
