Underwhelmed is how I would describe my overall experience at Le Coq. Initially we were kept waiting for ten to fifteen minutes (while sat on very shallow and uncomfortable pews) before anyone took our food order. It was fairly busy, but I got the impression the the gentleman who took it wasn't in a rush to get anywhere quick. I made a couple of light- hearted remarks but he made no response to my attempts at building rapport. He gave me the impression he was just there to do his job and had lost most of his enjoyment along the way.The mackerel pate was okay. It was a little salty and I could not detect any hint of horseradish. It was served with three paltry slices of what looked like Co-ops tiger baton which proved inadequate to the task of being spread with the course. It was imaginatively and stingely served but it was okay.The shock of the evening came with the main course. I had the bass and my wife had the lamb. The first thing I said to my wife after the waitress had left was "Well I'm glad I had a starter now!" The dish came served on a narrow oblong plate which the pair of fillets adequately spanned. The fish was a little overcooked (possibly because it was so thin) but pleasant. The two small fillets completely covered all the accompanying vegetables. These consisted of around two to three largish (sliced) new potatoes and four or five spears of asparagus. It was not an impressive sight. The dish left me with the feeling I was being conned out of £15.95. My wife enjoyed her lamb but from where I was sitting it looked like it was worth £12.95 rather than another £6!We both had the same dessert which was the apple and cassis confection which I think they describe as gateau but to all intents and purposes was a cheesecake. My overall impression of this was it tasted 'old'. It looked (and subsequently tasted) like it had been sat under a cover for sometime. It was lacking in definition and anything by which to recommend it. It was all very underwhelming. The menu leaves one with the impression that this has not changed for some time. No specials would further indicate that the kitchen are going through the motions.However I must commend the waitress; she was a very personable and attentive aspect of the evening. I can only apologise to her for the meagre tip we left due to the rest of experience.Le Coq Bistro leaves one with the impression they have stopped trying. Maybe that's why no-one asked us if we enjoyed our meal?Very disappointed.

We had a wonderful meal to celebrate our daughters birthday. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our food. The vegetarian choice was also fantastic. Great service by very friendly staff & lovely atmosphere.

Called into the village for the first time on Tuesday and it would have been rude not to Sample the food. My husband ordered the burger and I had the lasagne washed down with a lovely pint. Very friendly warm welcome and prices are very reasonable for such lovely quality food. We would recommend a visit as it is very hard to find good food in such a lovely village location. We hope to visit again soon.

Just had a fabulous valentine takeaway meal for 2, including 2 sausages for the dogs and a bottle of Prosecco. Food was hot, tasty and really well presented, even in a card board box. Lovely trio of desserts to try. Not eaten from here before and the new owners have only had it 8 weeks so well done for being so brave . If today?s food is anything to go by, should be a great success . Looking forward to the day we can and eat in the restaurant.

A take away meal during the tier 3 restrictions, starter, main meal and dessert, brilliant throughout. Really friendly welcome and chat with Chelsea (masks & social distancing apart) Thanks for the meal and the chance to taste your cuisine even in these strange times. We'll be back.........

I have had a not so good experience with duck before so decided to give a final try and am so glad I did...the Duck Confetti with the orange jus was succulent. Friend had the mushroom for starter but was a bit salty. His beef main was polished off. He liked his strawberry cheesecake more than the bite of my creme brûlée but I liked my brûlée more ?

Would recommend this restaurant for everyone. Some us had different meals, spoilt for choice. Great steak , duck & snitzels. All excellent served with smiles, in lovely surroundings.

Our second visit and once again a superb lunch at a reasonable price.Delicious thank you, and we'll be back for more!UPDATE Dec19We're somewhat alarmed to note that this fine establishment has changed its name and, now, the headline main course dish is some kind of burger. And it now opens for breakfast too, 2 bacon 2 eggs style. Fortunately the French lunch menu was still available last week and long may it continue. Needless to say, we won't be making our one-hour drive for bacon, eggs and burgers!We sincerely wish you luck and good business in the future :)
