After being treated appallingly at The Bees Knees, myself and 10 others visited Grove Farm to carry on with our pre Christmas meet up. Many thanks for moving tables so we could all sit together. The food, as usual, was very good and the staff are lovely. Thank you. Update: Three of us visited for an evening meal last night, 04/03/25, was met by Gordon and seated immediately. Two carvery meals and one Carvery salad, all were very good. The meat was cooked to perfection, the salad was crisp and fresh, lots of it too. We all had afters, again big portions and very good. Gordon, as usual, was polite, friendly and chatty, he even came to us as he finished his shift to wish us a good evening. All in all, good food, brilliant service and highly recommend.

For what you pay, the food was pretty good. Definitely got your money's worth when it came to dessert! We tried the bean burger for our main which was a little on the try side but tasted pretty good!

A very busy place, we ventured for a family dinner 12 of us we did pre book and the staff are really helpful and they don’t stop. Food was ok I had mixed grill but it felt like a lot of the meats were pre cooked well in advance peas under cooked. Has a great small play area for the little people and there is seating close to it also.

Popped in for a quick carvery after football. Received a warm welcome from Gordon. The carvery was delicious, fresh, and reasonably priced. We had a great conversation afterwards with Gordon when he came over to check if we enjoyed our meal. What a lovely person!
