    Been here so many times now and never have we received bad service or bad quality. It’s such a reasonable priced pub and the carvery is a must ! Plus if you are hungry after that get the home made sticky toffee pudding it’s just beautiful!

    I reserved a table for my daughter and her mother for the Sunday carvery but unfortunately they experienced very dry chewy meat and hard undercooked roast potatoes, great spot for the usual menus but would recommend to pass on the carvery .

    We met up with some friends for lunch following a late night seeing the new year in. We wanted pub grub, and that’s what we had! Lovely food, relaxed setting, friendly staff and good value for money! The Thornhill Arms never disappoints

    The pub is lovely and the food was all a reasonable price. The table was so packed in i couldn't get into place without moving it and although the table was for 4, I had to move the spare chair away to get under. Every time the people on the table next to us wanted to get out, i had to stand up and move my chair. I think we were just unlucky with our table as some of the others weren't so bad. We were put by the door so people constantly walking passed. The food was ok, the meat was dry and tough. As its a carvery, the veg seemed like it had sat a long while. Just not somewhere i would go back to. Such a shame for such a nice pub.

    Lovely food, excellent choice on Festive menu and very good value for 3 courses. Not sure that their call buzzer thing on table works very well, ordered coffees and liquors to finish off meal, they never came. Pressed buzzer, no one came, only when a lady came and asked 'did we want the bill's we cancelled. Not a real issue, it did not spoil the evening - maybe we should have done the old fashioned thing and just gone to the bat,lol!
