We had our wedding reception here 9 years ago and when we were gifted a voucher as a present we decided to use it for afternoon tea close to our anniversary. It was perfect and brought back some amazing memories. Beautiful location and building. The staff are fantastic and the food is delicious. Great experience.

Pub is nicely presented, tidy exterior and spotless indoors, feeling like it’s fresh from refurbishment, but sadly it seems more due to low patronage than upkeep. Very boring colour scheme and no personality/atmosphere, not helped by the out of date and overly loud juke box (no-one wanted to hear Katie Price and Peter Andre sing when they were somewhat relevant - walking in to be greeted by their caterwauling in 2024 should be considered assault!) means that there’s no such thing as a warm welcome, just a bit of a beige space to eat your boring dinner. Will never understand why, in a village with two excellent Indian restaurants within a couple of minutes walk, this place decided to serve Indian food as well, especially as they’re not really very good at it. Have had food from here a couple of times since living in the village, and it’s always been bland and pricey for the low quality. Recently went with friends who chose it against my advice and paid £19 for half a dozen prawns in some tomato soup (not a curry sauce in the slightest, and I say that as someone who adds extra cream to most kormas) with soggy chips and flat Pepsi. We were a party of eight, and on an evening with only two other tables eating that we could see, our food was delivered over 25 minutes, meaning that some of our party were almost finished before others had even been served. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful when serving us, but they seemed to be in a state of oversupply, servers looking quite bored and hovering aimlessly around. There was also red headed lady who I would guess is a manager - again, very pleasant on interaction but has a very odd and overdone pub landlady persona, coupled with some awful shrilling that I think was meant to be singing and was quite irritating. A real shame that this place isn’t offering a nice country pub menu, or at least something different to the far superior and better established other local venues. For a bland and boring experience, go here, for great Indian food try Voujon or the Massala Club, for great atmosphere…don’t bother with Stonnall.

Stayed with a friend who I was walking Hadrians Wall with. Great place - nice staff lovely evening meal, good local beer and wonderful breakfast. Importantly, an effective, polite, well considered and low key approach to Covid - so refreshing after some really weirdly experiences elsewhere on the walk!

Just before Christmas we visited this restaurant and had an exceptional meal. We decided to return for birthday celebrations so last night six of us arrived expecting more of the same. What a transformation! Style over substance is now the order of the day! I had a crayfish salad for starters, three mouthful and it's gone. For the main course three of us had lambshank and three had haddock parcels. The lambshank were plonked in a bowl with a few pieces of random vegetables floating in the bottom. The haddock looked nice but also was insubstantial. No set course menu so a la carte prices which represented poor value for money. Won't be rushing back here!!!

I used to live in the village years ago and used to go to the chippy as a kid and had great memories of getting a bag of chips and eating them on the park bench. Sadly it’s not how I remember, very expensive, just for a handful of chips, fish cake and small pot of curry sauce was £5.20! The chips were nice, just a standard chip shop tea really. The one thing that really disappointed me is the time it took to get my tea! I walked in and ordered straight away, then I waited……people came and went getting collection orders, more and more people came in and ordered food, but no one seemed to be getting served. Eventually after 15mins, maybe longer, I got my order. Never had to wait that long in my life for a fish cake and chips. They were cooked ready so why did it take an age?!

Disappointed. I have been with my family to Poms today. What happened was shocking. I have ordered for my little one a “English muffin with jam and butter” (£4). They served me half muffin. I asked where the other half was as I have ordered a muffin and not half. Therefore, they served me with the other half, in a small plate on its own. I have asked for the bill and they wanted to charge me £8 for the English muffin because I asked the “other half”. I explained that the menu mentioned an English muffin and not “half portion”. I found their request for £8 shocking. I needed to insist that the menu was misleading and was not acceptable to pay £8 for A plain muffin to have that removed from the bill. It is a shame, I was a regular customer and I find the quality great but I will not go again.

Me an my partner come here once a year for a date night and each year it’s the same. Food is really nice, decor is beautiful, staff are labsy daisy and the restaurant really lacks a present manager or the owners being there. It’s a shame this day and age that going out a for a nice meal is a treat and I feel staff take this for granted.
