The Wain-Y-Clare

Arrived about 6pm, we were the only people in, 2 adults 2 toddlers. The place seems very outdated, as the old musty smell too, although this isn't an issue but the chairs/benches at table aren't comfy at all. There was about 5 staff members sat around the bar chatting. Service terribly slow as too busy chatting with each other. Drinks took a while to come, then starters came out which was a shared bowl of wings. Way too spicy to eat but not what was advertised on the menu. Kids meals didn't come out until the mains which we asked for them to come with starters. All food beautiful, like 10/10 even the kids food was lovely. Will not return here though due to the atmosphere inside, & attitude of the staff. In clear ear shot of their inappropriate conversations, no service from them whatsoever. Had to ask twice for another drink I didn't get, same asking twice for the bill. We were the ONLY people present in the entire place. Hats off to the chef though!

Haven't been for many years but thought we would revisit for lunch. Friendly staff, the food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The hanging skewer I would recommend. I will definitely return!

in today for a quick bite , the staff super friendly especially the dark hair girl who seemed to be in charge of bar I ordered a steak sandwich my husband had the small fish and chips food was excellent but service excellent + definitely be back !

Couldn’t fault it! Stunning food & fab gluten free options. Lovely staff & one of the ladies occupied my 2 boys with blackboards & chalk which was so kind. Great atmosphere, clean pub & again mentioning the stunning food!

Absolutely amazing food, lovely staff and amazing log fire makes it very homely. Definitely will be back xx

First visited this lovely, cosy, old pub more than a decade ago & was impressed with the food & price then. My family & I visited this pub a few months ago for my daughter's birthday & although we had a fairly long wait of half an hour for our food, it was worth the wait as it was all cooked to perfection & delicious. The pub was packed & all the tables were taken. Typical pub grub but also extra dishes on the menu. Lots of lamb dishes on the menu. Cooked to perfection & delicious. We revisited this pub last Saturday but booked for lunch time instead of evening this time. It was a lot quieter than in the evening but we still had a half an hour wait for our food. It was worth the wait though as all the dishes were brought together & were all piping hot & delicious. Although the desserts were quite expensive, we all decided to have the same, chocolate fudge cake & had a big slice with ice cream & cream. Delicious! I could've quite easily had another slice. The service was excellent by all staff & were polite & friendly. Would highly recommend a meal out here for an enjoyable night out in a cosy, little pub with a relaxed atmosphere with the added benefit of an open fire in the winter which gave the pub a lovely cosy feel. Not many pubs around now with an open fire. Toilets were clean & tidy & there is also an outside area to sit with a small safe play area for children. Will be revisiting for more nights out in the future. Ten out of ten.

We came here for our Christmas meal but this was a very disappointing experience.
We pre-booked our meal with our deposit paid in advance so there was plenty of notice and time to prep. It wasn't even that busy.
When its said that you eat with your eye's, you'd expect presentation to be prioritised. It looked unappetising. The Turkey seemed like it was slapped on top of the vegetables which were basic. Roast potatoes, carrot's, sprouts, roast parsnips that were hard and a tiny roulade for dessert.
The building was freezing but there's the hope of a warm meal heating you up. Unfortunately even the food was served lukewarm and with the temperature of the building it soon went cold.
This was advertised as a Christmas menu and the Christmas music was turned on as we left.
If you are looking for fresh, hot, quality food with a lovely Christmas atmosphere then this isn't the place. Spend your money wisely.

Great food. Lovely service from staff member. Warm atmosphere. Definitely recommend.
