Sorrel Horse Inn

We normally come to this pub once or twice a month as our children love the play area and the staff are always lovely . Lovely setting with open fire in the winter and my partner normally comes with a group of friends for a lads night . Roast dinners were amazing last time we went on a Sunday . Everything changed from today when our family came in for lunch after a walk at Needham lake . It was very busy but still managed to get a seat . Me and my other half's mother ordered a beef and horse radish sandwich and a prawn cocktail . When they came out the bread on both was stale . Hard in the middle on the beef sandwich and the granary bread on the prawn cocktail was the same. We told the waitress we would like fresh bread as we were not happy with our food . They changed it straight away but when it came back it was exactly the same . No one came to check on the table through out and didn't ask us at all if we would like any condiments. At the end I went to explain that we were still not happy with the bread quality and that we had not eaten the bread . The landlord took the beef sandwich off after telling me we had already had a replacement which id stated it was still stale and that the granary bread was still stale on the prawn cocktail . He raised his voice and said I was taking the mick ( he used another word but Its too rude to put it on here ) I was in totally shock ! Never ever should a customer be spoken to like that in front of children . I then said we would never be returning to the pub again and how rude he was . As we were walking out of the pub he walked into the kitchen and my other half heard him talking about the situation and being rude about it . It's a real shame this has happened as this is our go to pub as a family. But we will not be returning after this . Especially being spoken to like that in front of children.

Lovely proper country pub with proper nice pub grub with a nice selection on the specials board. Warm and welcoming staff. The only thing I could say was in one of the side rooms we were sat in it was quite chilly (however is was -5) Highly recommend if you want a nice pub grub meal and friendly staff and atmosphere.

Fantastic family meal tonight, Everyone enjoyed their pub meal, and I just couldn't contain myself 😁 It was so good I ate two pieces of fish and refused to pay for the soggy piece of slap that may once have resembled a cod. No thanks. Whether it was even cod remains a mystery. 9/10 for the previous fabulous food. I extracted the one because of eye contact with one of the supposed owner's 😑 Great in the summer, brilliant for kids and adults... Maybe I chose the wrong dish but holy crap even I can batter fish better than that.

A great one night visit on Business. The evening meal terrific ! A great portion and quality. The room very clean and well appointed but not the biggest size. But this is a Coaching Inn and my type of favourite places to stay. The Bar, again, not the biggest but a "Propper" country Pub. The staff couldn't not have been more friendly ! I will definately be staying here again when my needs require.

Recently visited here with family and was disappointed with the food. 4 of us chose to have a roast dinner, some plates had 4 roast potatoes, some only had 2, but when I mentioned this to staff and asked for more roasties, I was told, chef says no. Never had a roast with 2 potatoes before and normally potion sizes are the same. The vegetables were overcooked and soggy, the gravy did not taste of anything and was unpleasant. I left feeling very disappointed, especially after paying £16.00 per roast. My partner had a cheeseburger and actually had stomach ache that evening. I won't be returning.

Was recommended to try the steak pudding here and I was very impressed, came back with another friend 2 days later and had it again, and then a week later came back for my birthday with 4 others and had it again haha so it’s definitely highly recommended from me. This is a good pub for proper food and drink and reasonable prices.
