We ate here with a few family members for a birthday meal just a couple of weeks ago. Firstly i'd like to clear up that I've only given the punch bowl three dots and that's because I've eaten in some pretty fancy places and it wouldn't be fair to mark them the same. Back to the PB- I can't say... More

We used to frequent Ye Olde Punch Bowl many years ago, and encouraged by many positive reviews from business clients, we decided to return there for dinner. Everything was just perfect. We were greeted upon arrival, shown to our table and the menu and ordering system was explained in a friendly and proficient manner. The food was exquisite, a home... More

Having heard great reviews about the recently refurbished Ye Olde Punch Bowl Inn we booked my mother in law's 83rd birthday party there, bringing together 15 members of our family, 10 adults and 5 children. We were not disappointed. Lovely surroundings, attentive staff and an abundance of hot and very tasty food (including a really tasty nut roast for vegetarians).... More

Having visited about four times over the last year I feel I've got a pretty good grasp of what the punchbowl has to offer. Twice I've had steak and both occasions were pretty polar opposite. First time I had a 16oz rump served delightfully on a wooden block, with chips in a dinky little mini fryer basket. Cooked and seasoned... More

I visited this establishment during mid January after driving by a few times on route to my new work place. It's looks like a very "Oldie Word" traditional pub from the outside, however upon entering I was shocked on how wrong I was, the management or owners have cleverly managed to keep the old "comfortable" traditions of a warm atmospheric...
