The staff were lovely, friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The venue was very warm and cosy and had a lovely festive atmosphere. It was full of families enjoying a meal. Our food was really good and so was the service, as well as being good value. We were looked after really well by Molly, Grace and Alicia. We will definitely visit again if we are in the area.
We went to meet cousins we hadn't seen in 30 years! Our table was booked for 12.30 and we all arrived together. We had drinks first and starting to catch up. Then we order our food, which was delicious. After this we carried on talking and then had coffee and more chatting and before we knew it, was 4.30! So we said our goodbyes and promised to keep in touch. We enjoyed our afternoon at Running Horse and will definitely be coming back.
We can’t afford to go out much anymore and we usually get a nice meal in here. I sent my food back and everyone had eaten before it returned so I couldn’t then eat it. We got deserts for free but have ended up paying for 2 steaks and only being able to eat deserts so rather out of pocket. Really not happy about this as we only eat out every other month and I can’t really call what we had eating out. Picture is my partners food who didn’t want to complain but ordered a medium rear steak and got that. Mine was cold and even rarer so I returned having eaten non of it.
We enjoyed our first festive menu at The Running Horse this year. The staff were very attentive & on the ball from showing us to our table, serving drinks & food. The table was nicely set out, clean & tidy. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Oh and the food was delicious! Thank you & we will return.
We booked a table for 5 for the last night of our holiday. When we arrived we were told that someone else was sat at our table and "will this one do?". The small amount of staff were very busy and struggled to cope with the amount of customers. This is a problem for the owners and not the staff. After waiting 45 minutes we asked about our main course and it then appeared after 5 minutes. The food was OK ish, the pie pastry was hard and the Hunters chicken was dry. We then had a very long wait for desserts. The ice-cream was liquid as though it had been on the plate for quite a while and forgot about. To top it all we were told that the coffee machine had broken so we went back to our accommodation and made our own. Overall we were very disappointed which reflects on Marstons and not on any particular member of staff.
