    Have not been to the Thornhill arms in over a year, it was never the best for Sunday carvery but was adequate, we returned today as a table of five, two of us had the carvery it was appalling. I have never had such a bad Sunday roast, the food was cold the meat dry and over cooked, carrots were burnt (roasted) the Yorkshire puddings could have been used as a paper weight very very disappointing, and the service was very slow even though not very busy

    Our 3rd consecutive month of visiting for the Thursday Carvery. Really good value. Great little pub, really cosy and a lovely inviting atmosphere. They seem to host quite a few events too which I need to look into
