We loved this family run pub. The food is home cooked and delicious. (Especially the steak pie). It's not expensive and the feeling is very relaxed.

I have heard great personal reviews for this place, so I decided to have a Sunday carvery here, (note, pre-booking is highly recommended, as it is so popular and busy at this place for good reasons).
Upon us both arriving, everything was well organised and explained by the staff, including a notice on the table that stated the order that our table will be processed and called when the carvery is ready for us, to avoid queuing too long, this is how it is so efficient and is a customer friendly focussed place.
After one of the best Carvery meals I have eaten, we noticed that in the rear beer gardens, the lovely landlords had another surprise, live music from their own stage that they have built in the gardens to entertain their customers.
Unfortunately, I missed the Robbie Williams tribute set, due to enjoying my food too much, but I was more than happy after I finished eating inside, spending the next few hours watching the next set who where Scoundrel Dayz, singing lots of 80's hits, of which, got everyone dancing to their amazing music.
When The Ball House switched from carvery service to the outside music venue, everything was handled smoothly, including a new outside menu making sure people who were peckish, were looked after.
All of the staff have been highly trained and attentive, I could not fault any aspect of my visit to The Ball House.

Staff were friendly, atmosphere was good but the food took some time to arrive, almost 45-50 mins, which did seem like a lifetime with kids waiting and asking for their food.
Food was alright not too bad, chips weren?t the best and some of the food did arrive like warm, sauces were given halfway through eating.
Definitely some improvements to be made but as I said staff were friendly and welcoming.

Drove past this pub a few times but finally called in to eat. What a great pub. Don't expect you food to be delivered super quick as it is prepared especially for each guest. We both chose Andy's Steak and ale pie one with chips and pas and the other with mash and veg. We were astonished at the portion size when it arrived and couldn't believe the amount of steak covered by the pastry. It was delicious and we struggled to eat it all. The menu is varied but when we asked what curry of the week was we were told it was just a chicken curry. I think customers need a better description as we were not the only customers to ask and choose something else. I think it is just a matter of under selling it. Glad I went for Andy's Steak and Ale pie though. It was amazing!

We went to the Ball House tonight. We were able to park in the disabled space which was good as it?s really close to the door and I am not so good walking. Tonight was the first night of their new menu. I was a little disappointed with what was on the menu. They have taken off two of my favourite meals ( Hunter?s Chicken and Boston sausage and mash ) this only left me with The Ball House burger as I did not like the look of the new items. My other half ordered mushroom stroganoff ( which was new)
The food was delicious and we really enjoyed it. We both had pudding.
We spoke to the lovely landlord about the new menu and I told him about the missing items. He told me they would be back on the specials. This has pleased me. He said to watch Facebook for details. He said they were trying to offer something a little different which I can understand.
The staff were amazing as usual We were able to order both food and drinks from the table
The pub has been redecorated and looks good
We will be back

Went to the Ball house last night for a meal. We were greeted like old friends.
We ordered our food and drinks at the table. We waited the 30 minutes ( as we were told the wait would be as they cook the food to order) and then the food arrived
We were not disappointed. The food was really good. I had the Hunters chicken and my other half had the Andy?s steak pie. Both were delicious. We were able to order more drinks
The bar staff were really chatty
Had a great evening and were pleased with the price
It?s easy to park at the Ball House as they have a large car park. They also have two disabled car parking places right outside ( I have a Blue Badge and can?t walk very far). They also have a large beer garden

First time I've visited as I was in the area visiting friends. I really enjoyed my time here, lovely Sunday roast carvery (only had beef myself but cooked perfectly, very tender), great service and excellent atmosphere. Not sure if this is always the same but had a great band scoundrel dayz playing in garden which I'm sure helped with the great atmosphere but I will definitely visit again when I'm next in the area. My friends booked table and I would recommend booking to avoid disappointment.

Was just a chance passing that brought us to The Ball House. We were hungry and popped in 15 mins before they stopped serving food.
We were the only ones in, so can't judge atmosphere, but it's a lovely little pub, with friendly staff.
The food was really lovely. I'm very happy we stumbled across this place!

Today was our first time at The Ball House. We took our daughter, my brother and his wife for the Carvery. It was great. A huge selection of everything including the vegetarian nut roast for Sarah. The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful. The staff were brilliant, the owners were very friendly and accommodating as we added 2 extra guests at very late notice. We will definitely return and would recommend to all. Thank you Marie, Andy and family, you are doing a great job.
