   Great evening with friends. Good food, lovely staff (though drinks were a bit slow) and really good, fun quiz which we won. 🎉 All in all, a lovely evening 😊.

   We brought my elderly mother for a very enjoyable lunch. We all had steak and ale pie which was delicious with ample meat and a very light and crispy lid. We opted for chips instead of new potatoes which was no bother at all. Our only criticism was that it was a bit chilly. We didn’t take our coats off. However we will be back!

   The staff were run off there feet and struggling it took them 1/2 hour to get even take our order and hour until we got our food. There was a large party next to us who were extremely loud so I couldn’t hear my partner they got progressively louder the drunker they got. The waitress was very pleasant the food was very nice

   Good simple pub grub but well served with attentive staff. Decent selection of N/A beers but when I asked I was only offered Heineken zero which, for me, is a poor option. So Diet Coke it was. It was a shame that I saw the selection in the fridge as I walked passed the bar.

   Tiny starter portion - would have been mean for a small child. Food - depressingly mediocre, bland, pale, soggy roast potatoes, this slice of soggy vegetarian pastry slice, bland green veg - like care home food. It was like a mass served canteen or community centre meal - poor quality compared to other home-cooked pub fair. Especially disappointing as a pre booked Xmas meal. 2 hrs was far too long to wait - service was mostly missing. No attention during wait or once food brought. Menu looked great but the food and experience was not. Wish we’d saved the money and stayed home tbh.

    Had the roast turkey dinner. Absolutely delicious, Turkey was moist and tender. Only one small point - would have loved a roast parsnip instead of peas! Great service from very friendly staff.

    Most of the food was cold apart from the roasts and pigs in blanket. Also the gravy was cold. Unsure if has a plate warmer in the kitchen. Apart from that was OK. Green beans were add on top. Be nicer with Brussels maybe. Or side of coli cheese etc. Make bit more special. Expensive for what it was. Peacan tart was very hard also.

    Hadn't been to the Thornhill Arms for about 4 years and found it had improved considerably this time. Good atmosphere, helpful staff and very good menu choices reasonably priced. An enjoyable lunch.

    Carvery was very good with generous portions. Would have given 5 stars except some of the vegetables were a bit cold - possibly not properly placed underneath the heating elements. However, This did not significantly impact our enjoyment of our meal. Service was also good but possibly new/inexperienced staff struggled with wine information. Overall very good, excellent value for money in a lovely room.

    We wereSat next to a window with a horrible draft coming through Service was very slow. Took 30 minutes to clear our plates Food was so disappointing. Portions were small. It was warm at best. seasonal veg included a very small amount of red cabbage, tea spoon of peas and ONE green bean. The fondant potato was literally half a jacket potato (still hard in the middle) slabbed on your plate. So I didn’t eat it after trying a bite.No flavour at all. I asked for a starter after my main as I was dissatisfied with my meal and still hungry. I had the pate with literally the thinnest toast. No idea why you’d serve that with pate as soon as you try and spread it, it would rip. I asked for proper toast and the attitude of the waitress was awful so I decide to send the plate back completely and had something else when I got home. Paid £19.90 for a below par roast and 1x 300ml bottle of Coke Zero. Very overpriced for what you get. Not sure what’s happened as this used to be a great place. Will not be returning and would advise others to avoid.

    First time at the Thornhill Arms and what a splendid experience. A friendly welcome from the staff when we arrived for our lunch, a warm atmosphere, an excellent menu, food beautifully cooked and served, staff couldn't do enough for us and all at a very fair price. This pub is a good old fashioned English village inn serving largely traditional food, beautifully presented and in a cosy atmosphere. Our first visit but we will definitely be back. Many thanks to all at the Thornhill for making our lunch such an event to remember.

    We arrived late due to a horrific detour due to the council decided to close the access roads to Rushton,but on arrival uor tardiness wasd not mentioned and we continued to enjoy a fantastic repast.I myself chose Crispy Loin of Pork , sadly my appetite was smaller than my meal,but what can I say it was sensational . The sevice was top notch served with a genuine smile. All in all a great success . Thank you Thornhill for once again producing a wonderful lunch
