   We had the Burn's night menu on Saturday night at The Devonshire Arms. The starter was very tasty but then one of the lamb main dishes was half fat, which didn't leave much edible meat on the plate. When asked for it to be changed, the waitress relayed the chef's message to say that they couldn't change the meal as it was a set menu and it would take at least half an hour. We were then told by our very pleasant waitress that the chef had said we can have 10% of our drinks which amounted to about £2 as the other round of drinks had been paid for at the bar. We have dined at the Devonshire on numerous occasions and haven't had a problem until now which is a shame as we had gone with friends to celebrate a birthday. We just feel disappointed and that the chef could have been a little more customer friendly with our request. On this occasion we also didn't feel like leaving a tip. Maybe the Wheatsheaf across the road is more customer friendly......

   The food was average. It wasn’t very warm. I had high hopes. Waitresses were lovely. It certainly wasn’t with £80 for 3 of us sadly.

   We had a lovely evening dinner and found all aspects too notch. The food was good quality and the quiet proportions for us. We had exceptional service from Sophie who was very attentive and also knowledgable about which wine to choose. The timings between courses was also spot on. All in all a very enjoyable experience and we will return.

   Service was exceptional, very friendly and nothing was too much to ask. Food took forever, over an hour for the starter , then a long wait for the main. Calamari starter definitely overcooked, but very good flavouring. Overall over priced for the quality on the day

   My husband had the pork which he really enjoyed but I had the salmon with noodles which was like eating rubber, so dry and tough. I didn't send it back as I was with friends that I had not seen for 8 years so felt uncomfortable.

   It was t any fish available from The menu. The wild mushroom pie was without any greens, carrots was burnt and potatoes undercooked. Otherwise the service was fantastic !

   Such a lovely pub, staff are helpful but not that attentive. Food was expensive and poor. The calamari was embarrassing, the portion size and presentation woeful. Mains were overpriced, small and looked like microwave dinners. Half an hour wait for a starter and then another 20 mins for mains. There are other pubs in the village that are probably better options.
