Had a fantastic Xmas lunch, 35 of us, not one complaint, food excellent, staff excellent, so overall a really good experience and will definitely go back again.

We came as a group of 5 and were really well looked after. The refurb has be done really nicely, everything looks and feels good quality and there's plenty of space. Our Christmas lunch was great, would definitely go again!

I always come her very nice atmosphere beautiful place. I had a Carvery tonight and spoke you he chef stating I was working Xmas day due to my job and he gave us 4. Free Christmas crackers .. Such a kind thing to do! Always coming back

Really great food and excellent service from the very friendly and helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delightful
The restaurant /pub has a lovely so sphere. I highly recommend paying them a visit soon.

Was able to book easily for a carvery lunch today. The Inn is delightfully refurbished and the choice of meats and veg was great. Raspberry roulade for deserts and in-all a great experience. Will return unless you all start booking this place ahead of me.

Me and my family went for a carvery today and it was so lovely. The food was brilliant were we sat was lively, also the Christmas decorations were very nice.

We went to the allerford for my wife's 40th birthday lunch. About 30 of us in total. Including 8 kids ranging from 6 weeks to 9 years old. The communication from Elly was absolutely fantastic. They really couldn't have done enough for us to make sure everything was ready.

We got there and went straight to the function room, where the tables had been arranged and set for us to sit down and start chatting!!! No waiting, everything was organised without delay.

We had sent our menu choices 48 hours beforehand and as the brilliant staff gave us our choices, they had a fantastic system where instead of just saying what the food was, they called out the name of the person who's meal it was. What a great idea!! There was absolutely no confusion!!

I had the starter of baked brie in breadcrumbs and as soon as I cut into the parcel, the brie just oozed out! What was also great to see was that the white outside of the cheese was attached to the breadcrumbs, proving that it was properly homemade!! The carbonara tagliatelle was superb and the melting chocolate orange pudding was divine. Another indicator of the quality of the food was when Elly asked us how we would like our burgers cooked as they used steak mince and wanted to get it right for us!! I mean, you really can't ask for more can you!?!

The prices were really good value. There were a great selection of ales and ciders as well as the normal lagers. I would have expected to have paid a good 25% more for the quality of food alone.

I really can't rate this place highly enough. As a foodie who works in customer service, they tick all the boxes. And what I love, is the allerford has none of the pretentiousness that you sometimes get with some places that deliver less admirable food and service.

It is a little off the beaten track, but still only 15 mins drive from the centre of town.

In summary. Go to the allerford inn, not only will you not be dissapointed, you WILL be impressed!!!

Excellent food - Carvery was superb and well priced.
Friendly staff, always good to have a laugh
Very high standards of refurbishment

It's great to see the Allerford has at last reopened! This used to be our 'go to' place for carvery and have struggled to find anywhere comparable around town in the meantime. It's looking great inside and out, it will be lovely in the warmer weather when people are able to sit outside too. There were 4 of us and we all chose the carvery which we were directed up to pretty much straightaway, no queue at the station which is always a bonus! There's a choice of 3 meats and a lots of vegetables too. It's nice to see they kept the serving area clean and tidy as well. We all enjoyed and finished what we had and then 2 of us had sticky toffee pudding which was delicious!

I will definitely be going back and I would without hesitation recommend to others!

We came to the Allerford Inn for Sunday lunch.
We were greeted by pleasant smiling staff .
Although it was busy you didn't feel you were sitting on top of each other!
The carvery was well presented , plenty of choice of veg etc . The beef was very tender & tasty.
We really enjoyed our meal & highly recommend, we will definitely be returning for another Sunday lunch !

Came to this pub with my parents we was welcomed and greeted with a smile, although we hadn't booked a table the staff had no trouble finding us one.. We all had a Sunday lunch to which was extremely delightful, we will most certainly be visiting again along with friends and family. Great family friendly pub with reasonable priced food :)

Just been out for our Anniversary, As usual the staff were very friendly & the food it superb, If you go i would highly recommend you try the toblerone cheesecake!.
Thanks to all the staff

We attended a wedding reception at this inn
It was a lovely evening
The function room looked beautiful for the wedding and the buffet in the evening was delightful
The staff were very attentive and friendly
The restaurant and food looked lovely so we have booked a table in the restaurant for next week (I will review this night later)
A really lovely place out in the country very nice decor
Well done on getting this place back on its feet x

The Allerford is a great place for a wedding reception l had mine there on the 7th Nov 2015 and the food was excellent, l can not fault it there was plenty of it to eat and the staff were very helpful and nothing was to much for them. So a big thank you to Tom and the staff for making my day X

Just called up on spec and was really impressed....great service, polite and friendly staff, clean and attractive setting and a tasty carvery with loads of veg. Would've appreciated slightly less stinginess with the meat but everything else was faultless.

Used to visit this pub several years ago when it was the Victory. It has relatively recently reopened after being flooded out. It is now refurbished and a lovely setting inside. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The carvery was excellent and so this won't be our last visit. Mid week carveries have just started so we will be trying one of those pretty soon. Tip for Sunday Carvery - book in advance as it was extremely busy by 1245. It's good to find a local pub with this level of food and service.

Visited yesterday, it was very busy and I was glad I had booked as they were fully booked for the carvery, the food was lovely, tender meat, perfectly cooked vegetables and plenty of choice. Staff were very attentive and friendly. They are starting Wednesday carvery from this week so will be def going very soon. Highly recommended

Visited this pub for a lunchtime carvery today and I must say it was excellent. I'd go as far as to say that it's the best carvery I've had in a very long time. The food was tasty the service was first class and the atmosphere was very friendly. Very good value for money and we are already planning our next visit. Thanks very much.

Came here for a 60th birthday party was great night staff were brilliant we had a buffet which we couldn't fault and everything we asked for with fantastic service! Would definitely recommend.

After finding out that this place were under new management and had a refurbishment we couldn't wait to visit again!
Set in a beautiful country location .. Wonderful outdoor area (will be great in summer)
Indoors is beautiful so much work as been done on such a vast space but it's still really cosy.
All the staff were very friendly and attentive, hats off to Tom the owner you have a great team.
Now the food we went got the traditional carvery and it didn't disappoint! So much choice and cooked perfectly. We saw many meals come out and all looked wonderfully presented.
We will definitely return and recommend to others.

Heard that this place reopened and have not been for years thought we would pay a visit and we're delighted we did! My partner and I were served highly quality cooked food in a candle lit, relaxing atmosphere and it was just beautiful. Just what we needed for date night! The staff are friendly, caring and polite. We also saw posters of up and coming events we shall definitely booking up for! The Allerford Inn staff really need to pat themselves on the back with such a great job you are all doing, so well done you!
Highly recommend such a gorgeous place!

Recently I had my annual sports club dinner at this pub. Having not been for many years I was sceptical but was put right at ease by new management team assuring me of the quality of the venue and food.
I was not disappointed.
From the get go during the organising period the landlord was so helpful in helping me organise the costs and menu options available to My club to make the Evening run smoothly.
On the evening we had a number of servers doing all they could to make the evening a success. Timing service of food perfectly to allow for awards to be given. All the pre ordered food managed to find its way to the correct person (an unheard of feat from previous experience) and the kitchen even managed to cope with last minute orders adding to there extensive work load of nearly 30 guests just for us let alone the rest of the pub.
All staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was lovely.
Pub looks great in its ownership.
Recommend to any and all!
Regards
A newly found regular

Party of 12. All had Sunday Carvery. Good choice of meats and vegetables. Staff were most obliging. Lovely atmosphere. Good selection of sweets to complement the main meal. All thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Although the restaurant is a little way out of the town it is well worth finding.

We recently had our childrens christening reception at the Allerford and couldn't have been happier!

Ellie was wonderful from the very beginning and answered all questions as best she could (they had only been open 2 weeks when I made the enquiry and booked) and any that she wasn't able to were dealt with in a prompt manner.

We had the function room to ourselves and it comfortably fit all 50 guests and a childrens soft play!! We were also extra lucky that the weather was great so we could take advantage of the masses of outside space and seating.

The Buffett food provided was delicious and more then enough! Everybody commented on it.

If I were to make one suggestion only to be of help, I would recommend when a large function is booked there is one designated (or more) member of staff working just to tender to the party. I think it would result in more drinks being ordered etc and as a host I may have been able to sit down instead of carrying drinks/plates of food around all day :)

Great venue for a party, lovely food and friendly staff would definitely recommend.

Thanks again.

Lovely meal ... Fair price. Not too busy!!
I had the fairittas for main with pâté to start. Well presented and nicely cooked. I would recommend it
