Friendly and efficient service. Lovely traditional old pub. New winter menu is reasonably priced and seasonal with good choice. Had a lovely homemade pie with mash, decent selection of veg, properly cooked and proper gravy. Can’t fault it. Thank you.

What a great old pub goes back to the 12 th century went over for lunch the sausages are the best also the ham egg and chip are very good would highly recommend will go back again the only draw back is it’s a Shepard...neam pub if you like there beer ok not for me safe bet the Guinness 👍More

We have been eating at The Griffins Head for a number of years and am pleased to say we have always had a great experience with great food. On this occasion we choose to visit for Sunday lunch. Whilst the service was very good the...lunch, unfortunately, was not. The saddle of lamb was 2/3 fat and 1/3 meat with vegetables on the very hard side of al dente with the roast potatoes appearing to originate from an infamous auntie! The meal was not hot and the belly pork was not accompanied by any crackling. Overall disappointing.More

Lunch at the Griffin's Head was such a great experience in every way! The waitress/bar manager Hattie took such good care of us. We had pre-booked and she welcomed us on arrival and led us to a table that had been set up for us...in the lower bar area where she lit a blazing log fire to warm us up, as was quite a cold day. As the fire crackled away she brought 2 glasses of champagne...who could ask for more than a blazing log fire, champagne and a friendly helpful waitress? I was very impressed that this pub serves champagne by the glass, as we were both driving, so a bottle was not an option. So many pubs and restaurants are unwilling to do so, offering instead inferior prosecco by the glass. The menu was very imaginative with unusual dishes we haven't seen elsewhere. By far superior to the Duke William at Ickham which has a boring, lack-lustre menu of uninspired food. A disgrace considering it is part of the much lauded Rocksalt Group. The Griffin's Head outclasses the Duke William and is at least equal to Rocksalt, if not better and at a much more reasonable price. Hattie knew the menu inside out and advised us on vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. She was patient while we dithered over the various dishes and gave us plenty of time to choose. We ordered locally sourced fish cakes with cherry tomato relish & rocket oil, followed by calves liver & smoked bacon with creamy mashed potatoes, fine green beans & onion bacon. Plus desert of Jam Roly Poly & Apple & red berry crumble, both normally served with custard, but we had them with cream. The only negative at this charming country pub was the weak, wishy washy coffee with no flavour. Everything else was so perfect! Please Griffin's Head invest in a decent brand of coffee beans, there are many great options locally such as roasted Curve coffee! A big thank you to Hattie for making us so welcome and looking after us so well! Our compliments to the chef for his delicious & very filling food! All in all a wonderful lunch!More

Visited in a large group for late Sunday lunch. General consensus of our group was that the roast dinner was excellent……super gravy…….and a word for the waitresses who were polite, cheerful and pleasant.

Very disappointed. Sunday lunch back in the summer was marvellous. This was not. The prawn cocktail was a spoonful of iceberg lettuce with a couple of watery presents in unseasoned dressing., served with a rock hard bread roll and no butter. The ham hock terrine...tasted ok but visually , more akin to something for the dog. The beef ( we’d been told was ‘pink’) was school dinner grey and tough as old boots. Insufficient vegetables too for four people. The Griffins Head ( we’ve been going here fir over 30 years) has always served decent wines . I do not necessarily expect a pub restaurant to have a wine list but it would certainly help. We love the pub but until there is an improvement in the kitchen, we will not be returning.More

We went for a Sunday roast and it did not disappoint. Nice pub with great staff, who could not have been more helpful. Well worth a visit.
