The Piper offers "excellent food" with a variety of options, including gluten-free. The atmosphere is buzzing, especially during festive occasions, and staff are "friendly and helpful." Diners appreciate the great value deals, such as 2 courses for under £20. Although the interior needs refurbishing, the overall experience is "fantastic."

    Booked a table for 4 to celebrate a low key birthday. Welcomed by the manager. Food was better than we expected, and was good value as we had the benefit of the 2 for £12.95 Mon-Wed offer. The Prawns and Mushrooms were very tasty. Hunters chicken was a huge plateful and steaks were tasty and tender enough too. Onion rings were excellent. We eat early, so it was quite quiet. Drinks were reasonable value too. Would definitely come again for quick, good value meal.

    Food was excellent. Had the xmas food menu. Inside needs to be refurbished. The walls had streaks coming down like water marks. Service wasn't great but eventually someone took our order. But all that is forgiven as the food was top notch. The main I had was mushroom bourguignon, mash, sprouts, roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips with yorkshire pud and vegan gravy. It was the best xmas meal I have had in a pub. And 2 courses for just under £20 is a bargain.

    Booked for Christmas day, took my mother, who is hard to please when eating out. From the moment we walked in the piper, the atmosphere was buzzing. Once seated we all relaxed everything was spot on, brilliant service from the landlords and their staff and the five course Christmas dinner was excellent could not fault it and my mother was happy with the food and atmosphere. It is a fantastic place with amazing staff. Everyone should go and try. You will enjoy yourselves.

    Although we had a wait of 30 mins the meal was beautifully prepared. Had a slight problem with one steak but this was promptly rectified.

    Excellent service. Very prompt and helpful staff. Food good.....portions not as sizeable as hoped, but tasted good. Children’s menu had good choice and reasonably priced. A nice pub for a casual meal out.
