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.

Booked for Mother’s Day lunch. Sunday roast was very tasty, the Apple and Parsnip soup was devine and reasonably priced. Spotlessly clean, not a spec of dust anywhere. Drinks reasonable and a lovely welcome and atmosphere, highly recommended.

A pleasant pub a bit off the beaten track with plenty of parking and outside tables ( when it’s warmer!) . We visited on a Sunday and only Sunday roast/nut roast was on the menu. The nut roast was fine and the vegetables tasty although a tad overpriced at £17.50. The pub is dog friendly.

We booked a table for three and entered where we were greeted warmly. I was expecting the place to be crowded on a Saturday night but at 8.15 it was not, just four tables enjoying the ambiance of a well ordered pub that does food.
One of the boys behind the bar was on his first shift and explained this. We got our first drinks and sat at our booked table. The two steaks were very good, I had the steak and Stilton pie which was very tasty, tender and the presentation was really top notch.
Butty Bach beer was also excellent.
Service was very attentive with ‘no problem’ being the reply to every request.
The locals are lucky to have a pub like this to enjoy. We will return.

We hadn't been to this pub for about 10 years or so as, although it had always been good in the past, it's a little bit far from us to make a journey to. After seeing it was open again after it having been closed due to Covid, etc, we decided to make a trip out on a lovely sunny day from a neighbouring county.
It's not a pub you come across if you're travelling on the main roads as it's situated off of a slip road but it's on a lovely quiet lane.
The pub has had some major changes since our last visit but what we saw looked good. The garden which we remembered as being around the back is now situated at the front and is on what was once part of the car park; it's obviously well looked after as all was neat and tidy.
On arrival, we were immediately greeted by a chap who gave us a short rundown on what had taken place since our last visit regarding the pub and within a short time his partner arrived and added to the story - if I remember correctly they took on the lease in 2019.
Service of drinks and food was quick and meals were checked within a short time to see if they were okay and regarding refills of drinks. The homemade lasagne was superb, as were the chunky chips, Our son, who is a connoisseur of beefburgers had the beefburger meal and he said it was one of the best he had ever had (meat is sourced locally).
Although eating in the garden you are next to the lane it was really tranquil as the lane is very narrow and there was hardly any traffic.
The prices were proper lunchtime prices which was good to see. Having eaten outdoors over the previous two weeks at different pubs in our area we found lunchtime prices had become evening prices so we said we would rather spend money on fuel and travel to this pub with reasonable prices than stay local and pay 50% marked up prices as we had done recently.
We will definitely be returning due to the prompt service, friendliness of the staff and the excellent food. See you soon!

Yes, the menu is not extensive but you only need one perfectly cooked meal and that’s exactly what you get. The chef obviously knows how to cook meat perfectly, our party of 6 adults ordered steaks, cooked medium and well done, all were done to perfection. The gammon was also so tender, I’m sure it was the best I have had in any restaurant. It was busy and with a local Steam Fair taking place, some dishes were not available so I was forced to plump for my second choice and I am very glad of this because they were absolutely beautiful. We will be back.

Very warm and friendly welcome even for my well behaved Jack Russell!
Decent choice on the menu for each course. Food arrived piping hot and tasted even better than it looked. Very slightly off the main road but definitely worth the short drive. Beautiful well kept beer garden but unfortunately it was raining so perhaps next time.
Thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Just perfect 😊. Ample car parking, quiet garden area with tables available, welcomes dogs with facilities provided, warm atmosphere and not too busy. Menu has a good choice of options and provides excellent allergy / intolerance information. Our meals were perfectly prepared and presented and delicious. Staff were welcoming, friendly and professional and our visit was a true pleasure. Thank you - we will be back.

There were 21 of us on a Pub Walk, starting from and finishing at The Slip prior to lunch. Was my first visit and certainly won't be the last! Staff were delightful throughout and the food way above expectations, My wife is from Up North & considers herself a fish'n'chip connoisseur and rated hers "some of the best ever". My Veg Curry was truly excellent and all other dishes looked great as they came out. It's not easy keeping so many Old Codgers satisfied but these guys did - and then some 😃 Huge Thanks!!

We are regular customers to the Slip Tavern and our most recent visit on 5 th August 21 was a very pleasurable experience.
Me and my friend accompanied with 3 hungry boys arrived just before 2 pm and the kitchen was just being closed however the proprietor Amy was quick to take our order and relay it to the kitchen which was ‘ fired back open ‘ immediately .
Our food soon arrived with the boys all having burgers with me and my friend deciding on a lasagne and steak and Stilton pie .
For Desert we had Bonofie pie ( highly recommended) , chocolate brownie and ice creams .
The customer service at this establishment is second to none , quality of food 5 Star + and the prices are very reasonable.
The Slip Tavern is tucked away and a great traditional pub.
We can confidently recommend this ‘hidden gem’ you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you ‘Amy and Mum ! at the The Slip Tavern , Much Marcle.

We came in for a Sunday dinner with our children. We had a pate starter and then roast beef and nut roast dinner - both were superb. Everything you could want was on the plate and our children were equally catered for with mini versions. Incredible value for what we had and very friendly and attentive staff with a good range of drinks too. Additionally the toilets were lovely and clean and very well prepared for families with changing facilities (even complimentary nappies and wipes)
Even our dog was catered for with treats and a bowl. Would definitely recommend this cosy countryside gem!

Really good pub grub. I had scampi and it tasted really fresh and the coating was full of scampi rather than the crispy pockets of air you get with supermarket packets of scampi. It was very busy for a smallish country pub but the young lad behind the bar was brilliant. He did everything, drinks, taking orders, serving food, tidying. He never forgot anything and was very smiley and chatty. He was definitely worth a separate mention. We’ve also booked in for Sunday lunch tomorrow

Lovely home cooked quality pub food.
The chicken wings were delicious as was the pizza and the scampi. A particular delight was the warm chocolate brownie - light yet gooey- highly recommend!

Thought we would treat ourselves to a takeaway and saw that The Slip Tavern was doing an offer on 2 pie, chips, peas and gravy.
Having not eaten takeaway pub grub before I was impressed with the way package, so when platted up at home it looked as thought it had just come out of the service hatch.
Once plated I can confirm it tasted as good as it looked but do be warned the pies hold there heat even though they've travelled.
