"Usually our favourite Miller Carter restaurant but unfortunately tonight our waitresses lack of customer service and helpfulness left us feeling a little cheated. We usually like to enjoy the service provided when we frequent this restaurant and always tip heavily for a good service and an enjoyable experience. However this evening has left a sour taste on our usual experience. The waitress was extremely abrupt and could only be likened to a strict headmaster. She was extremely unhelpful and made it as difficult as possible to use our collected stamps to redeem money off. The food was excellent as always, just the waiting on staff that let it down. This experience was not what you expect when you consider the Miller Carter brand and reputation."

"last night visited to collect a preordered 'family night' pizza deal. first I would like to congratulate them all for a fantastic job they have done "the facility of the swan shop. it looks absolutely stunning, the photos are great, but in real life it is really amazing. the pizzas were all delicious, the additional bonus of bottles of peroni, sweets and gloomy it cut off beautifully. you and the village walton have made you proud in these uncertain times. well done!"

"This is a fantastic pub! We had a late reservation, but they were able to accommodate our group of seven without any issues. The food was top-notch, and the staff was incredibly attentive. Nothing was too much trouble for them; they really went the extra mile to be helpful. The atmosphere was great as well—everyone in the pub was very friendly and welcoming. I can't recommend The Bell Inn highly enough. Five stars!"

"Firstly we have been regular patrons of Favourite Thai since it opened. Under the previous owner who retired a couple of years ago it was truly excellent in all respects and I considered it my favourite restaurant in the UK. We have celebrated numerous birthdays, Valentines and anniversaries there. When the owner retired a manager was appointed and initially it was much the same. Don’t know who owns or runs it now but having not visited for some months last nights experience was truly shocking. First the famous Favourite Thai sharing starter. Gone was the fabulous Thai crab cake and carrot salad to be replaced with a range of fried items all in the same shade of beige and including that most traditional Thai item a battered onion ring. There were also two small spare ribs in hoisin sauce so not exactly Thai. Next our favourite: sea bass with mango, chillies and Thai basil. Normally this is sea bass in a light tempura butter with a salad of sour mango, cherry tomatoes and onions, chillies, coriander and basil with a lime based dressing which cuts the batter. This was two pieces of cod which appeared and tasted like they had come from the local chippy with mango on top but no tomatoes, virtually no onion, no discernible chilli or basil and two coriander leaves. The taste was overwhelmingly of cooking oil and the mouth feel was vile. The fish would have been ok with a side order of chips and mushy peas but was about as Thai m tasting as my husband’s socks. The Pad mee noodles are normally full of spring onions and bean sprouts and dressed with fried chopped garlic. There was no garlic and virtually no vegetables. Just a dollop of very greasy noodles that what I ate sat on my stomach like lead. The real shocker though was the service. We were offered one drink at the beginning and nothing else throughout the meal. Service used to be superb with complimentary water and prawn crackers on every table. After finishing as best we could the disappointing mains we sat back and waited for the dessert menu. Puds here used to be lovely and frankly I needed something to take away the taste of cooking oil. The lady who seemed to be in charge came over took the plates and said with no word of apology “do you want anything else because I need this table?” Our answer was “no. We will have the bill please”. This was £60. For the first time in my life I didn’t leave a tip but I will leave you one: avoid, avoid, avoid."

"Stayed one night as visiting nearby attraction. Room was small, bed was small, bathroom was small, tv was small however everything was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The milk had gone off in the little uht milk cartons and oddly we were only provided with one bath towel and one smaller towel. Sadly we didn’t discover these issues until the morning and as neither of us wanted to go and sort things in our pjs the host didn’t get the opportunity to rectify these issues. The meal we had in the restaurant was superb (sharing roast) and service of food and drinks excellent. You pay extra for breakfast, which we decided not to do so cannot comment. I would visit again for a meal and one night stopover but they would have to address the quality of their bedding as I suffered dreadfully as need to have good quality bedding (hubby was fine so accept it is just me and my sensitivity)."
