About The Hornsmill

A Sunday roast here comes out plentiful and properly hot, and the sharing carvery gets just as much affection — one family called their platter for two "more than enough for three." The modern decor keeps a cosy pub feel rather than going stiff, and with buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking, the practical side is sorted before you arrive. Staff are generally attentive and handled a food intolerance carefully, though service can drift when it's quiet — condiments in particular sometimes need chasing. Outdoor seating helps on warm days, when indoors can get toasty. It's not cheap: mains push past £20 and the burger has disappointed. Weekends bring a lively, vibrant hum. Save room for the mini crumble with a coffee.
