Had the roast beef dinner today, very disappointed, as the beef was very fatty and the roast potatoes were difficult to cut as they shot across the plate.My thoughts on the food were told to the staff as they enquired about the meal.

Themed night on Tuesday 19th was great. 3 courses were all freshly prepared and delicious, especially the carbanara (delightful) .

Great food, lovely decor and amazing garden (although the rain meant we could not truly enjoy that part). Highly rate this place!

Great food, fabulous service and a delightful view in the garden. Plenty of food for the price! Short wait for the food to arrive

The Whalebone has one of the finest pub gardens around. There is a grass area with benches and an amazing view over fields, a patio to the side of the pub and a patio at the front of the pub. Staff are great. If you want to be sure, call to check food is being served in the garden during colder months.

We have returned to the Whalebone many times over the last few years because the food, the service and the view are all wonderful! We love sitting in the garden and the patio area but also enjoy the ambience of the inside seating areas. The staff are genuine, kind and helpful. We?ve read some awful reviews on here but we certainly haven?t experienced anything like what?s been reported!

Want enough bread to enjoy your pate - you?ll have to pay extra!!! Won?t be going back. Lovely location but sadly clueless staff and overpriced, mediocre food. Only wanted a couple of starters on a Sunday afternoon impromptu visit, immediately met with hostility as to whether this was possible and where we were allowed to sit. Such a shame because this place has potential to be wonderful.

The food here was amazing. We were a party of 4, and we all agreed that our dishes were lovely. The staff were very friendly.

Beautiful location. Thats about the only positive thing to be said. Essentially not a pub, like so many these days... This is an (extremely) overpriced restaurant serving mediocre food with terrible service. We actually waited so long to be served that by the time we finished and paid the bill we were unable to use the toilet because they had locked the doors. Would not recommend.

I had a disappointing experience at The Whalebone Inn and feel compelled to share my feedback. The manager exhibited a passive-aggressive attitude, coming across as rude and unhelpful. It?s surprising that she seems oblivious to the negative comments about her behavior, as many patrons have noted similar issues.
The food was consistently unsatisfactory, often arriving either cold or with visible signs of spoilage. Additionally, the customer service was lacking, with a wait time of nearly an hour just to receive my starter. To make matters worse, the manager was also unkind to children, despite the pub being advertised as family-friendly.
Given these issues, I?m perplexed as to why this establishment still attracts customers. I hope this review prompts others to consider alternative dining options before deciding to visit The Whalebone Inn.
Kid-friendliness: This establishment is not kid friendly. Manager is extremely passive aggressive And intimidating.

Had a delightful lunch with two of my daughters out in the garden - dressed crab was magnificent.

Nice pub. Nice setting. Had the barbecue lunch but was a bit let down. Tasted a bit chemically, like the coals hadn't been properly lit. Food's normally decent though.
