The Pilot Inn

The Pilot Inn has a fantastic atmosphere, and the online photos don’t really show how good the pub looks in person. I went for Sunday lunch and both the food and service were exceptional. It’s well worth a visit, and I’ll certainly be back.

We still like coming to this pub, but the portions have got dramatically smaller lately. For what you pay, I’d expect to be served, yet you have to go to the bar for drinks and fetch your own cutlery, condiments and napkins. There are staff gathered around the bar, so it leaves me wondering why it’s called a restaurant.

We hadn’t booked, but they still found room for us and our dog for Sunday lunch. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was brilliant, and the staff were polite and helpful. A lovely pub and restaurant, definitely worth visiting.

This was my fifth visit, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the other meals I’ve had here. This time, though, the last slice of liver was raw inside. The waitress took the meal off the bill without any fuss. Maybe the chef was having a bad day. The staff were relaxed but professional.
