One of our party was in a wheelchair. There is quite a slope to the entrance so hard to push the wheelchair back up it. Also, it was a struggle to get wheelchair through the doors of the toilet so not very wheelchair friendly. The food was basic but tasty. Staff were pleasant and friendly.

Party of 8 in The Hide. Excellent food, excellent service, nothing was too much trouble. Food presented beautifully and professionally, excellent quality. Will definitely be going again soon. Well done The Hide xx

Visited several times for evening meals and on each occasion never had cause for complaint. Good food and reasonable prices.For first time today my wife and I called in for lunch and had a sandwich each and couple of drinks. Very positive experience and really enjoyed sitting outside in the beer garden.One minor suggestion would be to keep an eye on the discarded rubbish in the garden - first impressions etc!Thanks, will definitely be back

Despite other reviews, we found the food lovely the roast dinner was massive lots of veg plenty of meat. Waiting staff were attentive but not over powering. Kids burger served just like a smaller version of an adult meal

Me and my partner have been passing this pub since we moved close to the area. Outside looks amazing with plenty of beer garden seating and I imagine a lovely atmosphere, though inside I beg to differ. Inside looked dated and did not look like the pub advertised - the seats were near enough black, looked like they should have been beige, table was sticky and the decor was awful. The starter to share was lovely, we had the pork belly and cannot fault it. Mains however were bad. Had the fish and chips, very bland and no taste. The curry was chicken tikka and not the thai green which is on the menu - not an issue, however the curry was tasteless and way over cooked, and within the rice there was 16 cardamom pods. Having worked in the hospitality business for over 20 years between us, just a smile and nice attitude goes a long way, fyi.

Been a while since we've come here, used to be a nice carvery byt had a terrible Sunday dinner today.The chicken was inedible, cheap beef and cold veg with lumpy mash.And worse of all for a Yorkshireman, the gravy was just brown water.

Booked at short notice for a funeral wake.Menu was great traditional pub food. We were a party of 10, and nothing was too much trouble. Main meals, sweets and drinks were all excellent and very well priced.I would recommend The Catchpenny to anyone

First time i have used this place since covid started. What a pleasant surprise. No need to go to town for a decent restaurant we have got one right here on the doorstep. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive.
