Sportsman Inn - Eden

The staff was so helpful and couldn’t do enough and the food was lovely, home made, Ed had lasagne and steak pie, very good portions and good value for money

4 adults 2 children ate for dinner. We’d booked as we popped in earlier to look at the menu. This was a good move as the were turning walk ins away. One lady serving and taking orders,one guy doing bar and drinks. Took drinks order after 10 mins and food after 20 mins.30 mins for food to come ie not the quickest service but food was worth waiting for. Pie brilliant, huge gammon, good veggie burger. Kids food was good and freshly prepared. Overall a great meal, service a bit slow but the 2 staff didn’t stop . Probably could do with more staff but that’s a catch 22 in this day and age. I’d recommend this place , but make sure you book.

Firstly the food was really lovely and tasty. The black pudding and the Brie starters were delicious. The steak pie was amazing and they were happy to give extra gravy we requested. The crime brûlée and sticky toffee pudding was also delicious. However have given it only 3 stars due to the service. We were seated quickly and drink order and food order taken quickly. We waited about 15 minutes for the starters which was fine, but the main meals did not arrive until 2045 which was over an hour after we finished the starters. We did mention the food was lovely but the wait for service was too long to be told very defensively “well, we are very busy and the chef cooks everything from scratch”. There were only four tables including us there and no table had more than 6 people, so not that busy. Have been to other pubs where everything is cooked from scratch and did not wait like this. It is a shame because the food was good and all they need to do is improve the service to get 5 stars.

Lovely, medium price pub and restaurant, stunning views. Service efficient and friendly. Delicious food and the chef served our meals. Large group and everyone enjoyed their selection.

Shockingly bad service....turned up at 5pm on a Sunday to be told they weren't taking orders of food until a table of 14 arrived at 5.30 and they had all ordered their food. Don't bother coming here incase they happen to have another larger booking to prioritise over the relatively low paying smaller tables.
