The Tavern at Hale

Wed 26 May stayed for one night. Although substantial investment has obviously been made to the pub, unfortunately the basic service and amenities of a B & B fall well short of expected standards. The room was comfortable enough albeit quirky although the provision of a simple chair would have been useful. The bathroom was beautifully furnished but was rather too cold to indulge in a bath or shower. The evening meal chosen from a very sparse menu was OK . Breakfast was, we were told served between 9.00 and 10.00 which was OK for us but would probably be too late for many guests. There was no hint of breakfast on any table, eg cereals, fruit juice etc. From a menu(again very sparse) my wife chose muesli and I cornflakes. Both arrived with milk already added and teaspoons only supplied! We ordered scrambled egg and fried egg on toast which was slow arriving and not too appetising. No additional toast was offered and there was no sign of any butter, jam , marmalade although no doubt it would have appeared if asked for. Overall a disappointing stay although the young man who seemed to be on his own was very helpful. We feel the amount charged for our room and breakfast to have been of poor value.

My family and I came for a meal this evening (2/5/23). The food was delicious and good quality. The children really enjoyed playing on the outdoor play equipment which made for a pleasant experience for us all. The man serving was very friendly and came outside to let us know when our meal was ready to allow the children to play rayher tahn wiat at a table. The decor is very nice. We will certainly be returning again. Thank you.

Popped in for a drink and 15 mins later popped right back out and went to another establishment! Total farce. Looked like there was a wake on but only one person serving. Absolutely no acknowlegedment from staff and even though I'd waited 10 mins he began serving people who had just walked up to the bar as well as the demanding management who wanted a coffee! Other than that a really nice place.

We didn't book so just walked in. Manager checked with the chef as they were really busy. We got seated all 8 of us. Kids could play outside whilst waiting for food. Service was great. Really kind and helpful. Food was insane. Fish was bigger than the plate and the burger was huge. Great good great service. Highly recommend. Food & drinks: Food was amazing. Really fresh and cooked to perfection. Big shout out to the chef.
