    Lovely food, excellent choice on Festive menu and very good value for 3 courses. Not sure that their call buzzer thing on table works very well, ordered coffees and liquors to finish off meal, they never came. Pressed buzzer, no one came, only when a lady came and asked 'did we want the bill's we cancelled. Not a real issue, it did not spoil the evening - maybe we should have done the old fashioned thing and just gone to the bat,lol!

    The food was hot and tasty. We opted for the carvery where there was plenty of choice. The service was excellent, both from Bar staff and our waitress. Prices seem to have gone up some, so it's not as good value as it used to be, however still competitive with other pubs. Would definitely visit again

    Great service. Friendly atmosphere. Lovely food and good value. But, where were the pigs in blankets to go with our turkey dinners?

    Have not been to the Thornhill arms in over a year, it was never the best for Sunday carvery but was adequate, we returned today as a table of five, two of us had the carvery it was appalling. I have never had such a bad Sunday roast, the food was cold the meat dry and over cooked, carrots were burnt (roasted) the Yorkshire puddings could have been used as a paper weight very very disappointing, and the service was very slow even though not very busy
