The staff were extremely attentive and knowledgeable about their menu, and went out of their way to provide a meal not on the menu. Can't thank them enough. Will definitely be back.

We ate the on the 3 march 2024. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, between us we had Sunday roast, sausage and chips and lasagna, followed by sticky toffee pudding. All meals were enjoyable and all members of the group the food. I would recommend the food here and I hope to return sometime soon.

In the week , didn’t fancy cooking after a drink at the harbour so popped into the Galloping Horse for a bite of supper, was very nice. Roast chicken was delicious.

A thoroughly enjoyable Saturday lunch... We arrived at 1pm and found plenty of spaces in the car park, which was surprising for a Saturday - I imagine the roadworks could have something to do with that. We were immediately given a table and a warm welcome as soon as we entered, menus were given to us straight away and the drinks order was taken quickly too. We both had a pint of coke which was nice and refreshing, the drinks came really quickly! For food, I opted for the chicken and mushroom penne pasta from the lunch menu and my partner chose an egg sandwich on white bread with chips. My pasta was absolutely amazing, full of flavour and plenty of chicken and mushrooms amongst the pasta - It even came with two slices of garlic bread which is great for lunch menu prices, the garlic bread was delicious, soft yet crispy and had a slight barbecue taste to it, it was really good. My partner thoroughly enjoyed her sandwich and chips, I can’t comment on the taste as I personally don’t like egg! - I did try the chips though and they were lovely, flavoursome and a great texture. Leah, our server was particularly helpful and friendly, she got everything that we asked for very quickly and checked in on us to make sure everything was ok. Overall a very positive experience and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a good menu and tasty hearty food in a modern setting.

Absolutely wonderful meal myself and my son had today, 18th February 2024. Cost me for both our meals less than 40. The staff were wonderful and didn't rush for us to finish one course before they served my next course. Food was wonderful and fresh (no frozen food) Pleasant experience all around. Will definitely be coming back. I asked if they did vouchers, and yes, they do. They also are taking bookings for Mother's Day meals as well. Which I will definitely be booking a table for. Lovely atmosphere. The staff are definitely a credit to your business.
