Lovely food and really great young waiting staff but the manager seemed in a bad mood and was a bit rude and his manners weren?t great, a bit bullish I felt. He was polite at the end when I paid but didn?t seem very happy

My husband and I recently had Sunday lunch for an anniversary dinner and it was amazing. The food was gorgeous and so much of it, the team were friendly, chatty and helpful and the atmosphere was just what we wanted for a Sunday afternoon. We will definitely be back soon with family.

Came to this pub on recommendation as we are new in the area. Came Monday lunchtime. Will 100% be returning, lovely food but even better service from the waitress who delivered a great experience to every table. Probably the best service I?ve ever had. She was lovely to my daughter. She had a plait and black uniform. Also lovely selection of good quality local ales.

Went into the cart and horses for lunch today without a booking. Not only did the waitress go out of our way to find and clean us a table in the busy restaurant, but also served us smiling and answered questions about the menu across the table. The lunch time menu was lovely but we opted for burgers and fish and chips. Pub classics which were presented well and tasted brilliant. Amazing service considering the business, and we could only see 2/3 staff members! Shoutout to the girl who served us! We will be returning. ?

I recently visited The Cart and Horses and was absolutely delighted with the whole experience. The food was exceptional ? freshly prepared, generous portions, and full of flavour. Every dish we tried tasted homemade with real attention to detail, and it?s clear the kitchen takes great pride in what they serve.
What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Our waitress, Julia, was fantastic from start to finish. She was warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive. She took the time to recommend dishes, checked in at just the right moments, and made us feel genuinely looked after. It?s rare to come across service that feels this personal and professional at the same time.
Between the quality of the food and Julia?s wonderful service, The Cart and Horses is easily one of the best pubs I?ve been to in a long time. I?ll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family.

Outside seating was perfect as was the music. Service was exceptional and food was perfect gastropub fare. Definitely plan to return.

An excellent hostelry, top class, great food, extensive menu, 'budget' or 'no limit dining' friendly staff where, seemingly 'nothing is too much trouble' I woukd recommend 'pre booking' a table, to avoid disappointment !!

The Cart & Horses is a fabulous pub in a great location. Recently, I ran a workshop here and the team were so supportive both in the lead up and on the day. The customer service was wonderful, as well as the lunch. The facilities for my presentation were also high quality and the room is really lovely. Made a great impression on my delegates.

My partner and I recently held our wedding reception at the cart and horses, in the stables.
Simply put - we are absolutely speechless at the service we were given from start to finish.
Clare- was absolutely fantastic and we can't speak highly enough of her. Clare assisted us from our initial enquiry to being present at the reception. This wonderful venue is so lucky to have someone like Clare arranging the events, not only is she amazing at what she does but a lovely person too!
We had Taylor looking after us as our waitress and the service was second to none. We never were waiting for a drink and absolutely nothing was to much to ask. the food come out exactly as we wanted and all 34 guests had piping hot delicious food.
As for the food - the chefs need a massive shout out as each and every meal was delicious with perfect portion sizes.
Everyone of our guests commented on how amazing the venue is and we're so impressed with the food and service, so much so that 2 couples are looking to hold weddings at this venue.
if your looking for a private space I can't recommend the stables enough.
if you are lucky enough to experiance half what we had, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you Clare & Taylor and all the team at the cart and horses - you truly did make our day and this pub will certainly be seing a lot more of us!

We were blown away by the service and hospitality, the food was very delicious and really appreciated all of Clare's support planning this very special evening to a high standard, Meg was wonderful and so helpful on the night to ensure all ran smoothly. You catered for all of our needs on the night and everyone fed back how lovely you all were and how much we all enjoyed our evening. Would highly recommend this venue for a large gathering for a special occasion.
