Seated at 6.10pm. No attention given until we asked waitress clearing next table if she could take our order. She duly obliged for drinks and roast dinners. Dinners arrived after about 15mins but still no drinks. Roast dinners (pork and beef) swamped in gravy making yorkshires soggy and chewy, potatoes so hard the knife wouldn't cut. Vegetables barely cooked though some may like them almost raw was not to our taste. All round disappointment. Next table also complained and received apology from chef. We put this down as unfortunate waste of money. Paid the bill and left after a 40 minute visit. Pity really as the pub is in an idyllic location .

We went for Sunday lunch, we had reserved for 4 and turned up with one extra unexpected child.. and they relocated us to the bar area.. which was fine! food came and was good and plentiful. Main lady is a little stern, but young staff were friendly and attentive. We did go in the height of summer so lots of wasps buzzing around us in the main bar as we were sat round the windows. A fine array of desserts on offer... perhaps £2.00 for 1 tiny scoop of icecream was alittle steep. Overall, food was of a good standard!

Food is lovely and generous portions. Highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding. It’s a lovely place to sit with a lovely garden where we sat afterwards for a coffee. Really pleasant feel. The service is a little slap dash and aggressive. Asking to pass plates across and leaning over guesses is not on, when they should be going round the table to clear, the waitress even asked us to take our glasses off her fingers. no one checked back our meals were ok. And the waitresses constantly walked off while we were ordering drinks or asking questions. But ignoring these minor points we had a wonderful time and will definitely be recommending and returning to the farmers boy.

Music too too noisy. Asked for the volume to be turned down ,but was told there were no individual speaker controls and if the volume was tuned down the people in the garden might not heart it. (Be inflicted with it) Shame as everything else was good.

Fathers Day Sunday Roast. They made a special effort to fit us in for Fathers Day. The waitress was very attentive but not intrusive. We had the roast and the portion size was really good a high quality.

roast dinner was poor and our table was in the dark as there is limited lighting. the dessert saved the meal. Service was weak, people didn't seem like they wanted to be there

The food was generally good and the portion sizes large but there was a significant lack of kitchen staff and although we waited around 45mins for our main courses other waited close on 2 hours and even then left without the food arriving - not a great experience.

This was my 4th visit to the farmers boy and always on a Sunday as we love the roast! Can’t fault the service but the food was luke warm and portion size seems to of decreased. Plenty of meat but could do with a bit more veg. Apart from that we were very happy with the meal.

Lovely location and friendly atmosphere . Good value for money and menu choices . Service was quick and efficient . A favourite pub for family lunch ( the open ground nearby is ideal for young children to run around and play ) and easily accessed by family members who live in various locations within a few miles.
