We are not a ‘fancy pants’ establishment. Not in the least. We offer good quality, home-cooked, locally sourced (where possible) food. 90% of our menu is made on the premises. Certainly not ‘Pub Grub’ but not ‘Gastro Pub’ either. It’s good value for money. However, our standards are high, very high. Not only in the quality of the food that comes into and leaves the kitchen but also in the presentation, the delivery to the table and overall customer service. We’re definitely not ‘Silver Service’ either but all of our staff are attentive, smartly dressed and will always go that extra mile wherever they can. These are just some of the reasons we were awarded the Taste of the West GOLD award in 2019.
We are a dog friendly establishment, very dog friendly. However, please tell us at the time of booking so that we can place you in our Bar area , as opposed to our Restaurant.

    Staff very friendly and helpful. Carvery was excellent with option of beef, turkey and gammon, with plenty of choice. Good choice of desserts, the key lime pie was lovely and zingy with raspberry ripple ice cream included. Service was good and quick.

    Delicious home from home cooking. I really enjoyed our roast dinner and not having to wash up! Great value for money , came home very full and satisfied. The pudding was great, too, a cookie dough pie with salted caramel sauce! would always recommend the Penhill hotel.

    Service and friendliness of the staff was very good. The carvery was nice, the choice and flavour of the meat was excellent, the veg/other bits were ok. Definitely value for money as there was a good portion of meat which is usually the part that’s skimped on elsewhere. Good meal, nice venue, excellent service.

    Being a gluten free vegetarian, it's difficult finding places to eat out who offer really good food. Usually it's either gluten free OR vegetarian, and not many places combine the 2 together. No worries on that front here, and the triple cooked chips that came with our sweet potato tarts were without any doubt the best I have tasted anywhere. It was a cold day, so they also let us swap out the salad for vegetables. Everything was piping hot and perfectly cooked. My chocolate fudge cake for dessert was almost no cake at all, and nearly all chocolate fudge icing. I wouldn't be tempted to pick that again, but luckily there are plenty of other options suitable for my dietary requirements. The hot chocolate was especially nice and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The only thing that slightly took the edge off our visit was a screaming baby on the table behind us. It would be nice if the restaurant area was adults only, and a separate area in the bar was designated for family dining.

    Unfortunately and this is no reflection on the friendly young staff, the service was slow as there was computer problems, As before the food is very tasty, well cooked and presented. Excellent choice available also and particularly good cheese cake dessert.

    Even though we live in the town we haven't been here for years. We shall definitely return again soon. The food choice was really good and very tasty but most of all it was so hot, many places you never get all items on a plate fully hot. The staff were so polite, friendly and helpful. We'll done.

    Went with family for a evning meal. The staff there are polite and attentive. A nice bright restaurant. Are orders came fairly quickly. The staff made sure to double check with one of our party since her dishes were vegan and gluten free. A good location on the main road with plenty of parking snd us also wheelchair accessible. Would go again.
