The exceptional food quality stands out, with many guests raving about dishes like the slow-roasted lamb shank and signature fish pie—both delicious options that showcase the kitchen's skill.

The attentive and friendly staff receive high praise, enhancing the overall experience with their hospitality and knowledge about the menu.

Live music and performances add vibrant energy to the space, making it an enjoyable destination for evenings out with friends or family.

Most Disliked

Some guests find the pub very busy during peak times, especially on Saturdays, leading to longer wait times for food and service that can detract from the experience.

A few diners mentioned occasional menu changes that limit the availability of favorite dishes, which can be disappointing for returning customers.

While the outdoor seating is appealing, it can also be a bit noisy at times due to the proximity to the road, affecting the overall tranquility of the meal.

I recently visited The Hinds Head for some hearty, comforting food. I started with the breaded goat’s cheese, which was a special at the time and I really hope they add it to the main menu because it was divine! For mains, I went for the fish pie, which came out piping hot and packed with fresh, tasty fish. Exactly how a fish pie should be! A usual order for me is the slow roasted lamb shank, it’s always cooked to perfection with a great portion of meat and just look at that minted mash😍 I love how the Hinds Head has that proper classic pub feel but with a modern twist on both the decor and menu. Always a solid choice! 📸PICTURED📸 Breaded goats cheese Sticky chipolata sausages Soup of the day Signature fish pie Roasted salmon Slow roasted lamb shank

Absolutely stunning meal tonight and well worth every single penny! We had the sticky sausages to start, 2 of us had the curry and one had the steak and everything was perfection. Portion sizes are extremely generous. Service was top notch, too. We then went and sat outside for a few drinks and a chat and the atmosphere with the view was lovely. We will definitely be returning. Really grateful for 2 members of staff, a lady and a young male who helped me tonight. First one was the lady noticed I was trying to breastfeed but I was by the window and it was really warm and sunny so she offered to close the blinds for us. Second was the young male who saw I was carrying my drink outside and push the pram at the same time so he took my drink and carried it out for me. Small gestures like this made it easier for me and makes me even more inclined to return. It’s daunting going out with a newborn, but when you have staff helping like they did just made the experience less stressful, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal even more because of these.
