We have had lunch before at the Shepherd Inn as our mum was living in a care home nearby. We was impressed by the atmosphere of this pub and the friendly service. Mum passed away recently and we contacted the Shepherd Inn with regard to holding the Wake there. We was greeted with such compassion and help and considering the funeral was the 20th December and a weeks notice, we was surprised that they could accommodate us, plus the venue to ourselves until the pub opened. Nothing seemed too much trouble. We had a lovely buffet laid on with tea and coffee and of course the bar open. Everyone was so helpful and really made us all feel at ease and it helped to give mum a really good send off. Thank you Scott for all your help, also to your wife and staff on the day. I highly recommend you and we will come back when we are next in the area.
Very nice lunch today being served by friendly and helpful staff. Couldn’t recommend it more if you’re looking for a pleasant lunchtime experience.
A group of us came to the Shepherd Inn for a funeral wake and we were made to be very welcome. There's a good selection of local beers on tap, and the pub itself is a characterful building that's been standing for over 500 years - Scott was able to tell me some interesting stories about the history of the place as he pulled me a pint. A buffet of food was well prepared, I especially enjoyed the chicken wings, and the cake was excellent. When some flowers had been left behind after the wake had finished, the staff put these in the cooler room so that they didn't wilt before we collected them the next day, very good thinking on the roasting summer day we had. An honest pub with great atmosphere and some lovely staff - what more do you need?
Went for lunch after a walk in the area and was charged nearly 6 pounds for a pint of Coke (the beer was only 4.80 a pint). Food was mediocre - my burger was only just cooked and the plastic, processed cheese hardly made it a cheeseburger. At least the chips were good.
Great value for money food in a cosy pub. Great service. Looking forward to returning in summer. Can't wait to try out beer garden
