The Thimble Inn is FAN-TAS-TIC. We made a booking for 10. We were taken to our table immediately and all given menus. The food arrived all at the same time for starters, mains and desserts which is fantastic as there were so many of us. The food was exceptional and presented lovely and the waiters were friendly and amazingly helpful. We were asked throughout if we needed top up on drinks and if everything was alright and even when we needed the bill- despite being busy they were fast. Comfortable seating and environment. Lively atmosphere with a very cosy feel. Food fantastic, and service terrific. Thank you for a great evening! 😋

Busy local pub restaurant. Booking required. Easy online booking. We both had pies. One had the chicken pie which was full of meat. I had the vegetarian veg pie. Very tasty and they didn't make the common mistake of over compensating the flavour with salt and pepper. Good veg. Our own jugs of gravy so could decide how much we wanted, which in our case is a lot. Dessert choice good and good portion size. I couldn't finish my chocolate mousse which is a rare occurrence. My husband mentioned it was our anniversary and we were given some fizz, a nice touch. Served by a pleasant young man. Overall a great experience.

Came here for lunch with family on Tuesday, all the reviews sounded very impressive. We all enjoyed our meals, the lamb was lovely and tender and the presentation very nice. Blueberry pie was ok but I wish I had asked for ice-cream to go with it as they give a huge dollop of Clotted cream which is too rich and unhealthy for me. My husband was over the moon with his cheesecake and passion fruit. We ate in the garden with our dog.

Great little place in the countryside. Not quite a gastro pub, but more a traditional pub food with lots of winter warmers and plenty of food on your plate. The place can get very noisy with even half the tables full so much so it drowns out the background music.

We had a family get together here and thoroughly enjoyed the ambience, great service and tasty food. Would highly recommend. Dog friendly. We had a fantastic time. Fantastic fish, meat and vegetarian options and gluten free friendly.
