    Having been here for two wakes in recent months, we thought we'd try to come to New Chimneys for a meal. We weren't disappointed, as the food was exemplary. Our waitress was ever so helpful, happily checking to see whether any of the food ordered was ok as my wife has an intolerance to wheat and gluten products. Overall, a very pleasant experience, close to home as well. Thank you New Chimneys, we will be back! Xx

    The fish and chips are so very enjoyable with crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside chips and the fish with a lovely crisp batter with flaky white fish, even the tartare sauce was nice. And what about the crispy onion rings, these are to die for such a crispy batter and plenty of them and all for the price of £1.95, exceptional. Very good value all around. The service of Liam was also very good, he was very attentive and helpful.

    Had the evening set menu. All chosen different mains. Expected smaller portions but they were on large side of normal. Food all fresh, fish steak and chicken cooked very well. Desserts also generous size and delicious. Joel was a great server attentive but not intrusive. Wish we lived locally.

    There's no words really! Absolutely amazing. The food is generous, hot and very tasty. Never eaten here before and will definitely be returning. I had the cottage pie and it was just lovely, nice grandma homemade taste to it and my friend had the hunters chicken schnitzel WOW it looked amazing and she loved it, couldn't eat it all though haha Despite being comfortably full, we couldn't resist a mini dessert and hot drink deal. I overheard someone saying their chef had phoned in sick, so instead of closing the kitchen the owners got in the kitchen themselves, that's amazing! Not many places would stay open. I've got a family meal coming up soon and I will be booking New Chimneys 100%

    The dining staff were friendly and helpful. One of our meals arrived with incorrect vegetables which were changed over, but another in our party was served cold and mushy vegetables. He didn’t want to mention it after we had already complained though. The portion sizes were adequate, but we didn’t feel that the quality of the food was very good, and justified the prices charged.

    The food was horrible, tasteless, overcooked or watery. The service was diabolical, the wait was very long and although the choices were written down were constantly wrong. Won't be returning

    We booked here for a family meal on a Sunday at 2.30pm. We were shown to our table. Not in the restaurant as expected but in in roasting hot boardroom. There was another small group in there and their language was atrocious, they didn’t care that there were children. We ordered our drink which took about half an hour to arrive. When they did one was forgotten. At this time we will hadn’t been asked for out order. The did finally take the order and the other drink turned up 10 mins later. We ordered extra roast potatoes, beef dripping gravy, to go with the 4 roast dinners garlic mushrooms to go with the Mac n cheese and salt and chilli fries. At just after 4pm we chased out meals to be told it was busy and it’s best to come earlier. At 4.30 the meals finally arrived but none of the extras arrived. So we chased those too they turned up in dribs and brabs. Dreading the fact that some of the group wanted desserts and the wait we could have. They were ordered. They only took half an hour to arrive. The delice was more like a Jaffa cake mini roll, dry as old boots ! While the staff were polite and did their best. That’s why I gave it 3 stars If they know there’s no room in the restaurant they should not have accepted the booking when though I booked weeks in advance Will we go back. I think not
