8 of us ate here (6 adults and 2 children)
The menu had so many delicious dishes to choose from and the prices were reasonable.
We were well looked after, the staff were friendly and attentive. A lovely meal.

Went for Christmas Dinner because of the quality service when we went a couple of months ago. Again, excellent food, excellent service, never went with a drink, would highly recommend and will be definitely returning.

Very nice staff but awful food, my scampi was laden with fat, my wife's pigs in blankets was inedible, how they managed to under cook the bacon and burn the sausages. Why do staff ask you how things were, when they then do nothing when you have legitimate complaints? Will not return.

Was there for food and New Years Eve, food left a lot to be desired, wouldn't say it was worth £39 was very disappointed. Entertainment was more like karaoke and the girls singing were a bit off key. Would not spend new year there again,

Came here for lunch for the first time and it is a lovely wee place. Service was ok. A server did spill a glass of coke but did apologise. Accidents happen but obviously does impact the visit. Service was not bad but didn't stand out.
The absolute highlight though was the pork belly. An amazing bit of meat cooked to absolute perfection. That by itself is a 5/5. It was meant to come with bubble and squeak but it was more like mash (which I wouldn't have chosen). But good value and portion all in all
Inspired by the quality I chose the crumble of the day! It was toffee Apple which sounded amazing

Visited the lime tree for a family Boxing Day meal today, and wondered why it’s been so long since we last came. Lovely peaceful atmosphere, all staff were friendly and helpful and most importantly the food was amazing!! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice place to eat with the family that is reasonably priced. Compliments to the chefs, and a certain waiter named Jake who was apparently responsible for this wonderfully presented delicious tasting desert. I’d ate my food and hadn’t ordered a desert but when I seen one of these come out for somebody else, it was time to loosen

We held our sons 5th birthday party at the Lime Tree this weekend and can't speak highly enough of the venue. We were in the marquee which was lovely, warm and roomy enough for 14 children and their adults! The catering was excellent- fresh, tasty buffet food which tailored to our requirenents served with cordial for free kids , tea and coffee. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were kind and attentive throughout. They even arranged for the pub to be opened an hour earlier to accommodate the party. Fantastic job. Very very highly recommended.

Great place to eat and drink, unless you are a resident of the surrounding areas, where you cannot get into your street, or cannot walk along the pavement due to all of the customers parking quite irresponsibly.

Can't fault this place, especially when the sun is shining and you are able to enjoy the huge beer garden.
Very tasty pub food that is reasonably priced and friendly service. They also have an outside bar, so you don't have to trek all the way back down to the actual building each time for a drink.
Just recently, they have had bouncy castles in the back garden for the kids. There is enough room for it not to be unbearable.
Really like this place and will be back again.
