Been a few times now and have never been disappointed at all. Staff are lovely, chatty and attentive, above and beyond to be honest. Food is good wholesome stuff with a varied menu. My Asian style pork belly was excellent, but my partners salmon was a little lacking, not a lot on the plate and unfortunately a bit bland, that aside the plate was emptied!Outside seating is good but tight next to a fast road. Now I'm a fan of cars and bikes but it can be a bit noisy at times.Dog friendly too.

Absolutely brilliant service by everyone but in particular by Ronan! He really made our experience enjoyable with humor and excellent manners! We visited twice due to his customer service and the food was also delicious! Such a shame we're only here for a few days but I would drive the 3 hours just for dinner here again! Reccomend 100% and there also dog friendly! Thank you so much for a great couple of evening meals!Rachel x

Just had a meal in the Dartbridge Inn with our 2 kids. The food was great pub food and all the staff members were really nice and very attentive. Value for money was excellent especially given the level of service given to us by our server Ronan. He was very polite and great interacting with the kids.If you are passing or staying nearby this is definately a place to stop for a meal and a pint! The kids loved the bat hunt too!!

Busy Sunday.We were served by a very friendly member of staff. She worked extremely hard. She was very kind to our children and even gave them glow bracelets. Nice touch! This person made our visit that extra bit special.Watching her tireless cover an array of jobs while other staff enjoyed a more relaxing role seemed a little unfair.Overall we enjoyed our visit, the food was tasty, the atmosphere was just perfect and thank you to the blonde lady (Kaisey?) for making us feel welcome. She really did make us feel special. We will be back again soon.
