Absolutely amazing place! We booked well in advance for Christmas Dinner, adding to our notes that if possible to have a table that was a little more private as our son is Autistic and struggles when surrounded by people. When we arrived, it was obviously extremely busy being Christmas day. They were also running behind, so people were all stood around the bar waiting. We asked if there was anywhere we could wait, with our son obviously having issues. Very quickly we were shown to a meeting room where we could wait on our own until our table was ready. We were in there for about 45 minutes, which was unfortunate but we understood Christmas day was extremely busy for them. My wife went to ask a couple of times if they knew how much longer we would be waiting, to be honest this was more so us being paranoid we would be forgotten with it being so busy. As it was obvious a table still may not be ready anytime soon, they made up a new table for us that was nice and private. The food was absolutely amazing, it was definitely worth the wait. The service was also exceptional and I lost count of the amount of apologies we received due to the wait. Given everything that was going on, the service we received and quality of the food, we will 100000% be returning.

We visited The Kestrel for lunch on Christmas Eve and it was exceptional. The food is so good my husband actually stopped talking!! Incredibly good value for what you get. Staff are lovely, accommodating of allergies and professional. 100% we will be returning! The brisket filled Yorkshire puddings were a definite highlight!
Fantastic country pub, really festive this time of year especially with the gorgeous open fire, breakfast was fantastic , service was welcoming and friendly. Loved it.
Superb food, friendly staff and amazing location. The rooms were lovely and cosy too. We stayed for two nights for our 18th wedding anniversary. Breakfast was superb! My only little niggle was that maybe an extra couple of staff would be perfect as they were constantly on the go!
