My wife and I made a return visit to Martins Pond yesterday evening. One of the many reasons we like this place is its consistent high quality of output. However, yesterday was different. It was even better! The menu had changed a little since we were there last and I decided to try the smoked salmon and haddock fish cakes... More

This is a nice little pub and the food is good, but unfortunately if you are considering it based on trip advisor you will be disappointed. The atmosphere and ambiance is OK; just a pretty normal English pub/restaurant style really. The food was good but nothing special. The service was actually very good and very friendly.

The Burger was partially deconstructed, beautifully presented on a wodden platter with the chutney in a mini metal pale and the burger sauce in a minature pump dispenser! Everything tasted... More

I love the creative menu.. it is great to see a menu and specials change and despite the regular dishes, there is always something different to try. There is nothing pretentious about the menu either. The problem is .. when I try other 'good food' pubs on my travels, it is hard to find places that are able to offer... More

We all had a roast dinner, plenty to eat, lots of veg.. childrens portions were excellent.. Service was brilliant.. definately will be going again in the very near future! More

I've just returned from lunch with my wife and another couple. I've read through many of the comments to try and balance our own reactions to the experience. I'd like to emphasise this is not intended as a formal complaint, just a critical examination an a genuine reaction. The parking system was very sensible, I have to say. The service... More
