Pine Tree Farm - Fantastic 🌟

This was our second visit to Pine Tree Farm and it was another great meal. We travelled over 40 miles as our disabled son whose fave food is mash and gravy says this is quality and it was his birthday choice. I booked our large group online, communication was excellent and so was the food.
There was a queue to order but we didn’t mind waiting. Service was excellent again. The carvery was tasty and scrumptious. It was also piping hot and constantly topped up. Wouldn’t hesitate to travel the distance again to visit Pine Tree Farm. Thank you 🌟

Best Green King pub I've been in - Barley Farm Eccles

Barley Farm - Eccles, Our first visit here after watching Sale Sharks. We ordered a bottle of wine with our food, the waitress explained that due to licencing laws on game days (rugby) they can't serve anything in glass. The Manager then popped over to apologise and provided plenty of ice for our wine...in a plastic jug. He then returned with a free dessert to say thanks for our understanding. Food was served in a timely manner and, although we didn't have it, the carvery looked awesome. We did see one of the chef's carrying a plate of food to a table for an elderly lady. Throughout our visit the staff and Manager were friendly and on point with everything.

Manor Farm in Castle Vale

My mother and I went to Manor Farms in Castle Vale for a meal. The meal was ok. Nothing to shout about. For £27 I don't think it was worth the money I paid. I thought the food on the plates would be a bit larger. The plates were cold so therefore the food went cold quickly. Just a heads up. Make sure your plates are hot when the food was going on it. Couldn't finish my chips because they were cold. Also I don't understand how you can justify 2 lemonades to come over £7. Mom asked for small lemonades and got pint glasses. Don't see the logic in that. I will go there again but it will be the carvery next time. Nobody came over to serve us so I had to do the ordering from the app on the table which I really didn't want to do. It was an ok experience but nothing to shout out about.

An annoying episode

For a Special birthday treat a table was booked for 7pm dinner on 1st February 2026 at the Chestnut Tree Farm in Ipswich. The venue was a little busy. We placed our order of 3 standard carveries and 1 chicken skewer, and with drinks .
These 3 people went immediately to the Carvery station only to be told no meat was available ! When it was mentioned that it was still early evening the response was
'It's down to a question of supply and demand' before turning his back on them. We got a refund for the none existing food and left the venue, really astonished that food wasn't available at a 7pm time slot and taken aback by the curt attitude to customers. We will not return to this venue again. ( By the way, the Toby came to the rescue with a delicious meal for everyone)

I always find Hillfield to be spotlessly clean, with helpful and friendly staff.
I was served today by Brooke, she was warm, polite and professional.
I would definitely recommend this pub.

Barley Farm, Eccles

Unfortunately my wife and I arrived a litte late for breakfast and found that breakfast had already finished at 11am, so we had no choice but to order the all day breakfast which cost us about an extra tenner. What really spoilt it for us was that they had sacrificed that extra hour (most restaurants finish serving breakfast at 12) by bringing out the dinner. It seems no one told the customer because the first one didn't arrive till 11.35, by which time everything had sat under the heat lamps for 35 mins. The only saving grace was that the service and the breakfast was actually very nice, I'm just glad I wasn't having the dinner.

You have to try

Trying this place many times over few years, food always hot and tender, friendly staff, cool atmosphere, clean environment and tasty cakes.

Love this place and always recommend it, lunch and dinner time booking required otherwise it’s a big queue.

Booked a table a week in advance as the website says the Elmwood Farm at Sheffield is dog friendly. Received a call this morning saying they can only seat us outside (in January) with dogs, so had to cancel. Can't get booked in anywhere else on a Sunday at this time so day ruined.

Disgusting. Farmhouse Inns Astley chaddock Lane

Farmhouse Inns Astley chaddock Lane. it was my little girls birthday meal. I was only refunded for my wife's cold RAW steak meal not mine. All food was luke warm except the peppercorn sauce. Manager said I'd eaten half of one so no refund for that.. I had to get to the middle to see how raw it was.,I ordered medium, it was raw. So I paid full price for chip scraps and dry peas ect. If I had found it acceptable I would of finished the full meal.....why would I chance another meal on the basis I'm all ready a meal cost down and to risk another £60-£70 on a family meal again. Portion size was terrible and my picture shows how it arrived before I even touched it.
