The Cott Inn

A lovely lunch on a Monday with friends. I had the brie wellington and it was delicious. The interior is cosy and warm, with a nice buzz and good service. There was a good no-alcohol wheat beer. Large wooden tables and open beams. The gardens are attractive even in winter.

Delicious lunch, all four mains tasty and beautifully presented; two of us enjoyed the posset dessert; nice tea/coffees; friendly, unobtrusive service; lovely building. Gents is outside, but facilities clean and modern. No more to say!

the best dinner i have ever tried in my whole entire life. i ordered pie of the day, and it was the best food i have ever tasted in my life and probably ever will taste. The mash was beautifully cooked and the pie was impeccable. I would happily eat that mash for breakfast lunch and dinner it was so good. The staff were amazing to us not a single thing wrong with them. There was a lovely lady in the markee who was absolutely brilliant towards me and my friend and the owner was very lovely to talk to. The food came extremely quick about ten minutes after we had ordered we had dinner on our tables!! i will definitely be recommending this restaurant to all friends and family as everyone needs to have that experience in their life.

I booked a table for two for Sunday lunch in the main pub several days in advance and confirmed by email as requested but when we arrived were ushered into a large marquee. I protested but was told that this was an ''overflow facility'' yet whenI went into the pub itself there were several empty tables set for lunch. This is very poor. Every inch of the pub floor was crammed with tables and diners so it would not have been that pleasant anyway but certainy better than the marquee. We were seated in the corner and the awning was torn in several places so as it was a cold wet windy day we were subjected to frequent icy blasts. I ordered the roast beef and it came within seconds which made I think it had been sliced previously and warmed over. It was sliced wafer thin, very soft and bland and virtually tasteless. Soggy Yorkshire, average vegetables and generic gloopy gravy. It reminded me of that roast beef you get in a TV dinner. I went on the basis of this pub having just been awarded the UK's Pub of the Year 2024. I cannot imagine how.

It’s a great looking pub, but there’s no place to have a drink it’s been set up as a cafe / restaurant with tables crammed in, the car park is to small and we had to park on a very narrow road. We were disappointed, started with a very rude lady behind the bar, we were seated next to the front door and was repeatedly bumped into offered food we didn’t order. We left.

We popped in here at midday on a Saturday and we were lucky to get a table. It's a busy & popular place. I had the pork Wellington special & my partner had the burger, both meals were delicious & the men serving were friendly. The setting is lovely 😍 a beautiful old pub & large garden area.
