Top Places and Services in United Kingdom

Quite a regular stop off over the years and have never been disappointed by the food or the service. The view is an obvious draw, no matter the time or day of the week. Parking is plentiful and free. There has never been an issue over being seated, even when busy. Just love this place.

I don't recall ever having a less-than-good experience of The Fisher's Pond (which in recent years became my local, though I've been coming year on and off for decades). I've probably written a review for it here or elsewhere before, but I feel compelled to write another.

The food was nice and reasonable value, and these on their own would warrant a top-marks review, but what marked out our latest visit was the service. The service at the Fisher's Pond is always very good, but on this occasion it was exceptional. The booking experience and arrival/reception experience were excellent, but the in-meal experience was second-to-none. It was better than what you'd get at a restaurant costing more than 10x the price. The food arrived at a reasonable time (not slow but not too quick to be suspicious), and we were attended to throughout the meal by all the staff at just the right frequency. The main staff member dedicated to us was a gentleman called Nick, who was eloquent, thorough, professional, attentive and thoroughly entertaining. What a star. It's people like Nick to make an experience or even a whole day, and the World needs more of them. Thank you.

I booked our table online approx a week in advance. Doing this was quick and easy.

We had a late afternoon table booking and arrived approx 15mins early, so weren't expecting to be seated straight away, but we were. The weather was a little overcast and windy outside, so I was greatful to be sat inside in the conservatory with a lovely view out over the lake. Our food was excellent - perfect portion sizes, came out hot, and was served to us quickly after ordering. I hadn't been here in at least 9 years prior to my visit today, so it was lovely to visit again and have excellent service and food.

We paid with cash - which I mention purely because since covid we've been to a few pubs expecting to be able to pay cash and not been able to. I tried looking on this pubs website but in the FAQs, there is no information about whether they are accepting cash or not. I then tried calling them twice but they must have been busy as no one answered the phone (and I didn't want to leave a voicemail) so we just risked it and took cash with us and it wasn't a problem, they accepted cash.

I'm sure we will be back again in the future (this time sooner than 9 years!)...

We stopped at this lovely pub as it was near the hotel we were staying at that night. We found it easy to access with good parking, we were welcomed by really lovely and friendly staff who served us our drinks and took us to a table overlooking the lake. The young lady serving us was really lovely (Ellie I think) , she had only started working there a short while ago but didn’t come across like she was new. She was knowledgeable, chatty, friendly and made us feel really welcome. The food was delicious, one of the best fillet steaks I’ve had in a very long time, the peppercorn sauce was delicious as was everything on my plate. My husband had the burger with pulled pork on it and onion rings and skinny fries, I had the triple cooked chips (amazing!). To finish off I had the mini crumble with a double espresso, the mini crumble was not quite so mini and was fabulous with custard - sooooooooo delicious and we would definitely go back again thank you we had the best evening at the pub thank you.

we had nick serve us, the man was a legend, such personality and talent, unlike anything i can recall. a true gentleman, funny and courteous. knew his wine, excellent recommendations.
all the food was delicious and plentiful.
the seating was spacious yet efficient, and the volume of others' conversation never got too loud.
the view over the pond was delightful.
the only regret is we couldn't find room for dessert, but we'll be back.
i wish i could rate higher than 5 stars!
