Having quite low expectations of this place, my experience was great for lunch today. Prices are good and the menu looked uninspiring at first glance. However when it came it was thoughtfully presented and tasted great. Definitely one to return to.

We love this place. The setting is great, the food is great, the staff are lovely... what more could you want?

We had one tiny, insignificant issue with our food this evening which was an unfortunate accident from the kitchen but we have never met such gracious staff who were keen to put things right - not that it was needed at all! What wonderful customer service.

To The Allerford Inn - thanks. Keep doing what you're doing. We loved our dinner and we'll be back again.

Having heard good things we tried here for Saturday lunch

Not that busy but pleasant atmosphere but a little soleless. I think some large plants would break up the basic decor

Food was very good. I had the pasta and it was excellent my wife had a prawn baguette that was large and of great quality and well priced

Overall our experience was very good and we will return

The Allerford Inn was recommended to me as a suggestion for lunch and it did not disappoint.
Myself and three friends thoroughly enjoyed our lunch there. Although clearly busy our order was taken quickly and delivered to the table in a reasonable time. Presentation, quality and value for money were all key elements and met here.

The steak pies were especially good.

I would happily return for a meal and highly recommend this to others.

Went for Sunday carvery today. Loved the little touch of cheese and crisps on the bar, really good extra feature. Had turkey which was nice although too much fat on the turkey put on my plate for my liking, potatoes and veg was great and a good mix. Only other thing I would have changed was it was beef gravy which was very rich and didn't taste right with turkey. Would have liked an option of turkey or chicken gravy. Overall though a lovely meal

Went here for a Carvery recently and it's was really good couldn't fault any of the food! Just a shame they don't do table service though. But apart from that I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

19 of us descended upon the Allerford inn to celebrate our friends 60th birthday. Tom and the team were as welcoming as always, the carvery was amazing! Plenty of lovely fresh veg, nice selection of meats, fantastically huge and fluffy yorkshires and those amazing dauphinnoisse potatoes

We booked a table for 14 for an evening meal. We were accommodated with ease and the staff friendly and helpful. The menu had plenty of choice and was reasonably priced.

Been here a handful of time for Sunday lunch, the carvery never disappoints! Enough choice and always a lovely treat of cheesy leeks or dauphinoise potatoes.

My Husband and I chose the Allerford for as our wedding reception venue.

From the start Tom and the other staff at the Allerford were fabulous! Tom made sure we had everything we wanted and helped us to stick within our tight budget! I always felt like Tom and the team were there to discuss or help us with anything in the run up to the day.

As for the day itself, it was perfect! It was exactly the atmosphere I wanted, relaxed and cosy! The food was incredible, the drink prices are very reasonable, they are not increased just for the day of the event, which venues have a habbit of doing!

Tom and the team made my new Husband and I feel relaxed from start to finish, I am so pleased we chose the Allerford!!

Visit regularly as we are always warmly welcomed. We enjoy an early evening meal or just pop in for a couple of drinks. Have also enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch carvery. Worth a visit...you won't be disappointed.

We have recently been to the Allerford inn a few times and have always had a warm welcome and extremely yummy food! It's family friendly, and we always have a relaxed enjoyable time. Last night we went for New Year's Eve, the children thoroughly enjoyed them selves as did myself and husband, the disco was brilliant and the buffet good was fabulous, so much to choose from and all very tasty. I would also like to mention that I had a 10 day old baby with me which I needed to feed, they could see I was trying to find somewhere a little quieter to feed my son and kindly offered there office, which I thought was extremely kind of them! This gave me a chance to settle and feed my son whilst the kids were enjoying the disco. I highly recommend it! X

We ate here for Xmas dinner this year after deciding to try something different. The whole experience was a pleasure. We arrived and were greeted with canapés and drinks the guided to our table. There was no rush for the table. They only allocate 1 table to one family so you have as long as you want. The food was amazing. Starters, sorbet, Carvery and desert all perfect. Couldn't fault any of it. The staff were attentive and made our Xmas meal and day out special. A huge thanks to all the staff and people at the Allerford Inn who made our day.

Thoroughly enjoyable Christmas lunch experience.
Nice greeting on arrival with Bucks Fizz and canapés. From there we were directed to our table (2). The little extra touches on the table also added to a pleasant ambience. Food was fabulous from start to finish - well presented and very tasty. Although I wouldn't dream of taking leftovers home, as some diners did ! Service was, on the whole, very good, although seemed to slow slightly nearing the final courses, but it didn't detract from the whole experience. Would like to thank Tom and Tim and all staff including our waitress Catherine who made it such a pleasant Christmas Day lunch. Well done !

The Sunday carvery is a firm family favourite for us all, grandparents and children alike. Good quality food, friendly service and a lovely setting. The desserts are amazing!
To make it truly perfect, a small sized kids play area would be great, especially in summer (but I'm just being very picky)
