The Moorcock Inn

Thought we would try the Moorcock for tea with the family for the first time since the new owners took over. Having read the menu with all the fancy names and descriptions for the meals, the food was very disappointing amd bland, stated beef dripping chips, amd these were not fried in beef dripping. And to top it all off had to listen to 8 or so lads swearing and getting drunk in front of two young children, and then watch them get in cars and speed off. . Won't be going back

went for a meal start of the year here and was fantastic so decided to take my family (5) first waited about 20mins before we got asked if we would like a drink. we then ordered starters 4 turned up after a average wait but 1 didnt trying to get the attention to let them know finally got attention then took 10 mins to receive. 4 good my soup was i think potato and the chef had placed a green juice skirted over the top the soup was of very poor quality and the green taste was vile left all after 2 spoon fulls even my son thought it was awful did'nt complain but when they decided to empty table this full bowl of soup waitress did'nt even ask was it okay. Then Mains ordered steak well done with peppercorn sauce as i don't like my meat with blood it came and all the others but no peppercorn sauce told the waiter then waited 10 mins to turn up when i cut into my steak it was bloody so another poor request and at the end got a bill for over £150 we had to leave more food that we ate as the quality of others was not great standard.

Average Average stay, substantial hotel yet food not available after 19:45! So we had to go out for dinner. Room was ok, small double bed. Bathroom refurbished with a tiny narrow sink making it difficult to brush teeth & wash hands.

New owners and a new vibe. We enjoyed having a few drinks in the bar area and then dining in the restaurant, the food was fabulous. The service from Luke and Lilly and the chat with the Chef Reece enanced our visit, we had a great time. Summer time on the outside decking sounds great.. BBQ, Bar and live music with stunning views. It's well worth a visit.

Really, really good. Thank you for the friendly service, good food and overall wonderful experience. It was such a pleasant change from the usual surly staff, poor food and overcharging in lots of places. Again, thank you very much, we will be back.

Delightful inn From the moment we arrived, we were delighted with our hotel choice. The setting was beatiful and we had a choice of well furnished and comfortable rooms. Lunch was fabulous and the staff were genuinely helpful and froendly. Everywhere was spotless and I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely inn.
