We stayed at The Coppleridge during the first weekend of December. This particular weekend was very cold and we were looking forward to getting to our room to warm up and be cosy with our 3 children. Very disappointed to discover the room was freezing cold, turned the thermostat up and went for food in the hope it would warm up. Told the gentleman serving in the pub how cold it was in our room. The room was still freezing when we returned after food and we were unable to bath our children that night or the following morning as it was so cold! However, the food at the pub was delicious as was the breakfast both mornings. We had hoped to see someone at breakfast to say how cold it had been during the night but only the chef was about. It was a lot warmer though when we returned on the Saturday night. Good location, good value for money, delicious food just a shame it was so cold!
total rip off. It has taken this long to write as I wanted to say how we all felt without anger. My wife mum had passed away and we decided to have the wake there nothing fancy just sandwiches and cake. They couldn't even get that right totally un in pressed the last thing they could do for their mum, and the coppleridge couldn't even do what was asked. when we complained, they dismissed it as if it was nothing. if you are planning an event, I would go somewhere else totally disgusting.
This is a fairly average pub in a nice countryside setting ,It’s not modern or trendy & the dining room is basic . It has a garden & lots of parking spaces. Eaten here 4 times & the fish & chips ( not something I would have very often) was one of the best I’d had eaten in a while . The fish was cooked in a cider batter ? It was light & crispy so ideal if you don’t eat wheat , chips were not overly greasy & they make their own mushy vibrant green peas & their own tartare sauce. Very good! One slight negative was when my sons went there for a beer at 9:30 pm they were turned away & told it was too late to serve them ! I was very surprised & disappointed that as the bar was already very busy, the staff couldn’t have accommodated them . They are early 20’s so did not feel able to be more insistent . I also checked the website & it said they closed @ 10pm so there was no excuse really .
Love the place. Rooms are big and very comfortable. Bathroom is huge with plenty of hot water and a nice powerful shower, but also has a separate bath. The bed is big and comfortable enough to give a great night's sleep, the very quiet area helps too. Breakfast caters for everyone with a traditional full English or any combination of cereals, toast or just tea and coffee. Staff are very nice. We also had an evening meal in the restaurant and were impressed with the food. We shall definitely return.
Came for a roast dinner, staff were amazing, very friendly and attentive. The beef for the roast dinner was by far the best I have had, such a shame that the potatoes were so dry and hard and let the meal down, we didn't complain at the time as I heard from other guests comments that I think it was an issue amongst everyone. Though the staff did bring an extra jug of gravy and water to the table. More fresh veg would have been nice not a wide enough variety. lovely atmosphere, great meat and lovely staff.
