Fabulous food, excellent service, live music, homely atmosphere...will definitely visit again.
Great pub!
Atmosphere is very pleasant and welcoming, though the back area does feel a little depressing for my taste with how quiet it is.
The food is where I am going to be a bit more critical, but not too much. The food itself is good, but there are issues.
The starter, Calamari, was quite sweet thanks to the sauce, but it worked very well, and it was presented in a large clam shell, which I think is brilliant. Topped off with some chillies made for a really good starter.
For main, Cheese and Onion Pie, tasted good, but a bit too potatoey for my liking, however the plate felt rather empty. It didn't come with any traditional vegetables on the plate, aside from some beans in a separate dish, which was somewhat disappointing.
My mum was also disappointed with the portion of her main considering how pricey the items on the menu are. I feel like the chefs might be trying too hard to be more like a gourmet restaurant, which detracts from the identity of The Travellers Rest, that being a British pub in the middle of the countryside.
Overall, while the food tastes really good, the identity of the restaurant akin to its food is missing somewhat, and prices are currently too high, which might explain why the restaurant was a bit quiet that night. I think by slightly altering their portions or slightly lowering their prices, I think they will get more customers, returning customers, and turn a greater profit. But it is a step in the right direction after previous management.
Perfect roast potatoes - golden and crispy on the outside; soft and fluffy inside and served with so much lovely veg - carrots, red and savoy cabbage, with lots of rich gravy. Best roast I’ve had in ages
The staff were really friendly and accommodating, the food was delicious! And it was so great to see them handle the outdoor dining only restrictions so well - we were seated under cover with heaters and there were blankets available too for anyone who wanted them. Amazing service, they have thought of everything and handled this horrible situation so well!
Hubby and I both had the 10oz Butchers Steak with triple cooked chips and mixed greens, which was really nice - steak was soft and cooked to our liking. Lovely food and service, we will be back soon!
Lovely atmosphere and really nice staff! Drinks kept flowing. It was so nice to feel a bit of normality again! Thank you to all at Travellers Rest, we will be back again hopefully soon!
