Food was great! Gravy was nice and tasty, good roast potatoes and parsnips were fantastic! Could have done with another slice of beef, not as much as I'd have thought you'd have. Service on welcome very good and the member of staff very pleasant. Sadly left to our own devices for quite a while, then had to get a round of drinks whilst still eating as no one came to our table. We then had to go and find someone to order dessert. Admittedly they were busy and to be honest you can see why as the food was very good! Would come here again for a carvery and overall we enjoyed our visit. Hopefully next time the service will be slightly better.
Went to the merry monk whilst on holiday last week. Had a really lovely carvery, in fact it was so good we went back the next night for my birthday too!. Exceptionally friendly staff, great food and delicious desserts….who wouldn’t?
Lovely place ! I was surprised to see a very extensive menu along side a carvery that is almost open all day ,every day of the week! Soup starter was homemade and absolutely delicious, tomato with a nice swirl of cream and homemade croutons. For mains me and my daughter had a carvery, good selection of meats , all nice and hot, you can help yourself to crackling , stuffing and yorkies , veg was cooked well , if you like parsnips definitely pop some on your plate as they are delicious! Also have the option of dauphinoise potatoes on the carvery. My young lad had mac and cheese from the child's menu , again very nice! Comes with homemade garlic bread and a nice fresh side salad . Staff lovely, friendly and professional . Will definitely be back and hopefully we will have room for dessert, thank you for a delicious meal 😋.
Amazing evening at the Merry Monk. Carvery on a Monday was just what I needed and it was fresh tasty and lots of choice. Great value for money. The desserts were incredible too.
The pub was busy and clean and tidy. We had not booked, but the staff were welcoming and friendly and managed to find us a table, making us feel like part of the family. We ordered the carvery, which was freshly cooked, piping hot and tasted delicious. We highly recommend this place for a carvery. My only regret is not finding this place earlier. I'm definitely planning to go back.
