I honestly cannot give this place enough stars !!! The best vegan roast we have EVER had, like ever !!! It was so gratifying to be able to take our daughter out for dinner and see her smile without the same familiar frustrations with a limited tasteless menu. The Blue Ball, have proven that it is possible, infact not difficult at all to cater to all dietary needs, without loosing flavour or content. Delicious vegan cauliflower cheese, vegan Yorkshire puddings, the most delicious nut roast on the entire planet. Generous portions too !! A beautiful platter of vegetables, with knowledgeable staff, able to tell you which were dairy free and which were not. Absolutely packed full of flavour, I didn’t reach for the salt once. If this wasn’t enough, they had not one, but FOUR dairy free desert options !!! A simple “this can be made dairy free with dairy free cream” I felt like singing from the rooftops. The Blue Ball I feel should stand as a shining example to all other “local, rural pubs” I mean who wants a tasteless bland lentil burger when you can have this !!! And no, they didn’t cost the earth either, well under £90 for 3 meals, 3 deserts and drinks !! Our sincerest gratitudes to the chef, you made our day, thank you so much !!

Visited for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago - party of 10. Customer service was excellent from the time I booked to the time the proprietor/chef came out to the car park to say goodbye as we were leaving. Very refreshing not to have a service charge added to the bill or even as an option on the card machine (obviously we left some cash as a tip!). The food was great too - huge Sunday roast and the vegetables were particularly great (can I have the recipe for the red cabbage, please?). If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely go back.
