We went there today actually for the birthday lunch of two of our colleagues. Never been there…read morebefore. The food comes in big portions and it is tasty. The waiters are a bit slow, and they do not pay attention when you call them, but in general I had a good time. I had the bacon and chicken chiabatta, and I would have been very happy with it, if my bacon was crispy on its fat and it was a bit warmer. The chips served with it however, were really nice - makes a difference when almost everywhere in UK the chips are half fried... prices were more than ok happy to go back. Oh! I forgot to mention that it was packed during lunch time, and that made it a bit noisy, but bearable. It has very clean toilets, and they smell nice. Did not also like the fact that when I entered the place there was a dog inside where the bar area is...

The broadstraik has recently been done up and wow what an improvement!…read more From the main entrance you enter a lovely cosy bar area, with plenty of squishy sofas by the fires and nice comfy seats. The wine is lovely and there are real ales on tap. Through to the restaurant area, it is nicely decorated, warm and spacious with another fire. The service is attentive and friendly and the menu changes regularly and has lovely hearty food all at reasonable prices. I can particular recommend the burger - although the wedges are spicy! All in all, a lovely bar and restaurant, worth the drive out of town for. There is plenty of parking and it is kid friendly. I hope you like it as much as I do!

We stopped here for lunch while we were whiskey tasting in the area. Service was excellent,…read morebeautiful park just outside. We tried the gnocchi, mussels, steak and chicken parm pasta. Everyone enjoyed their meal except me. The chicken was good but the pasta was bland. The mac and cheese was kind of bland as well which is surprising. Its a very nice bar restaurant. Big selection of whiskeys and they have a really cool cigar and whiskey room.

Like many of the eateries we're trying on this trip, we came across Mash Tun online. I was excited…read moreto try the venison pie. According to my husband it was less gamey than what he's used to, likely due to the domestic farming of the deer and every other time he's had venison it's been wild. So if you're not into gamey meats, but curious to try venison, this could be a great option for you. We ordered a few cocktails and a glass of wine during dinner, but we've noticed a trend. It takes a long time to get drinks out here in the country and I'm not sure why. There were 3 waitstaff for the 7 tables and while the food came out like clockwork, drinks were slow to come by. We got our first set of drinks before dinner and were able to sip them during our meal. I was really excited about dessert and we ordered the cranacan and the sticky toffee pudding. My husband ordered an old fashioned and I ordered a glass of wine, but they weren't delivered until well after dessert was concluded. We even considered canceling the final drink order until our server informed us that the drinks were being made just then, and yet we still had to wait another 10 minutes before we got the drinks. In total we waited about 30 minutes for the 2nd round of drinks and by then we just wanted to leave. The restaurant itself is quaint and cozy with a nice loca feel. And once again, be sure to set a reservation in advance.
