Dog friendly pub with good food and service.

It was very quiet when we visited, as pub had only just opened but great friendly service. Will definitely be back.

Visited last Friday in a group of six and again this evening, just the two of us. The new spring menu has arrived, retaining the popular classics but changing around some of the others. Both nights I had the new belly pork addition with bubble and squeak and it is an absolute triumph! Beautifully cooked, flavoursome, tender, moist meat that falls apart, with fantastic crackling that you can cut, eat and enjoy without risking your teeth! I’ve been to other places and been disappointed with belly pork that came as an inch wide sliver which was mainly fat but you won’t be disappointed at the Allerford with a very generous serving of meat with just the right thin layer of fat you need for flavour.
I would implore people to try this place, the food is excellent and reasonably priced, the cellar is well kept, the team are fantastic and you won’t be disappointed.

I've written before about how good the Allerford is and we went there for Christmas lunch today and were bowled over by the experience.
From being greeted at the door by Tom and the front of house team with Buck's Fizz and canapés, through starters (just the right size); an awesome carvery; dessert and cheese board, all of the food was up to their usual very high standard and, frankly, faultless which is no mean achievement for their kitchen brigade on Christmas Day.
And, above all, we were served by their happy, kind and wonderful front of house team; for whom nothing is too much trouble.
You don't get to be this good by accident and Tom, Ellie, Tim and the team work tirelessly to ensure any visit to them is a wholly positive, relaxing and enjoyable experience.
If you haven't been there yet, please make the effort, you won't be disappointed.
Thank you Tom, Ellie, Tim, Hazel and the front of house team, Dan on the bar and all of the kitchen team for giving us a fantastic time and a wonderful meal today; can't wait to see you all for New Years Eve.

A group of 8 visited on 16th December for a Christmas get together. We were made very welcome from the start. We were shown our table straight away and as soon as our full party had arrived the wait staff went to the kitchens to get our food cooking. As usual with pre-ordering some of us had forgotten our choices but the staff had this organised already by knowing the name of the person whose food they had. The food portions were extremely generous and we all really enjoyed our meals. We had a great evening and I expect we will be back very soon!

A pleasant place for a meet-up of 6 old friends for a weekday lunch and chat. Service a bit slow as there were several christmas lunches in progress, but that was no problem to us. Food was good and freshly cooked.

Lovely Xmas dinner. Pre listed the food we wanted for the meal as was a bigger than average table. But took a long time to get the dinner out, especially the puds. Food was good though.

Stopped by on the way back from Cornwall, and chose it based on Tripadvisor reviews.

Friendly staff fitted us in with a last minute booking, and welcomed us on arrival.

Nice carvery...quality meats, huge choice of trimmings!

Would recommend and return if in the area
