The Cottage Inn

Just had a lovely meal tonight with my friend. We were greeted by the owner, very cheerful and friendly, we signed in the car and chatted while we got our drinks. Then grabbed our menus and a table. The food was really lovely, great quality ingredients, served piping hot and plated up lovely. The battered pigs in blankets were amazing, great starter that we shared. Then we opted for a hot lips parmo and a lasagne. Both were very tasty, plated up nicely and tasted great. We will definitely be back ❤️

Great pub! Dog friendly, lovely landlord and landlady. Great staff. Great beer! Large beer gardens to front and side. Large car park - if you do drive don’t forget to put your reg in using the ipad on the bar - plenty of warning sides inside and out. Live music on a night weekends, quiz night on a Wednesday. Lovely place.

Would put zero stars but can't do that, Group of 8 went yesterday for Christmas dinner what an absolute shocker, had my elderly (88) year old father with me and was kept waiting over 1.5 hours for the main meal and that only came after requesting it, one of the party received their main, ten minutes later two more of the party received theirs then the five remaining came nearly 20 mins after that, I had soup as a starter which was cold, was told main would be served with selection of veg on table to help yourselves but wasn't the case, no cauliflower cheese as stated on the menu, didn't stay long enough for the mince pies and mulled wine as took nearly four hours for the three courses, no salt and pepper on table and never even got it after requesting it, lack of cutlery, bar was running out of glasses. Would never go back again as was a really rubbish Christmas dinner. Had been previously for a Sunday lunch to which they were turning pre booked meals away due to running out of meat so should of rung alarm bells back then. I would avoid at all costs,when I was speaking to the landlord about it I explained I needed to get the meal and go as had a dog to get back for, one lad behind the bar was quite rude and told me to go get my dog cos if I did he'd bring his dog...sounded quite threatening to me Landlady and bar staff when I was speaking to the landlord came to speak with him using foul language, sounded like things hadn't gone to plan but the staffs language was appalling especially in front of a customer not to mention a pub full of families. Have been told the brewery have recently closed two of their pubs think this one should be the third!!

I was surprised how quiet this place was when we visited for the fist time yesterday. It's actually a lovely pub, the landlord is super friendly and welcoming. The food is really good too! I had a couple of starters and my partner had a burger. All really nice and the pate is actually gorgeous 😍 I've seen people complain about the carpark rules which are very well signposted. It's as simple as popping your reg into a machine when you're at the bar, not really a problem as you'll be there ordering your drinks and food anyway. People need to support this pub more. It's a little gem

Should be brilliant, but it isn’t. Any pub that is still open is a haven, particularly if it opens its doors every day (which the Cottage advertises). But there are serious problems. There is no atmosphere, no proper comfy seating areas, and above all it uses very young staff who don’t care. The staff member sat with their friends, with their feet up on the seats and on their phone, not bothered about the customers. This is indicative that that DPS needs to run the business more seriously. It is really sad as every pub is struggling and should be striving to succeed in these very difficult times. I have no choice in taking my direct experiences into account. I will be back again to see if anything has changed.
