Good menu with some hearty dishes, our party had Venison wellington stuffed with apricot pate, Moroccan lamb chops and Game stew. The wellingtons were tasty, the pastry was a little stodgy, probably could have done with a couple of minutes more in the oven. They were served with a choice of potatoes, mash, roast or chips with a selection of... More

Again our favourite pup beckoned. Such a lovely warm welcome as always. We sat in comfy arm chairs mine was a recliner. It was a lovely early evening and we ordered sandwiches . We decided sandwiches would put us on until we completed are almost forty mile journey home. The sandwiches were a meal in themselves and we ate nothing... More

We recently stopped in the Garsdale Luxury B and b next door and had our evening meal in here on all 3 nights! The menu has an excellent variety of meals, the service is super quick and the staff were all friendly, helpful and plesent. And a complete bonus they are even doggie friendly.

We just love this place it is a seventy mile round trip for us but so worth it.Do not pass the Moorcock you will regret it.Just wish all pubs were as good as this one.We have scones and coffee as we are driving but defo staying for food next time .

The pub was cosy and pleasant, and the landlady (enjoying her seat by the fire and TV, as some of the negative reviews have noted!) was very welcoming. The best thing was the food --- the game and chestnut stew was superb -- rich, moist and flavoursome, and in an enormous... More

The en-suite was clean and pleasant and the shower piping hot and very powerful. All the usual stuff was provided, including tea and coffee, shower gel, soap and bottled water (the tap... More

Myself and my partner spent a long weekend here taking advantage of the very good three for two offer on B&B. Even without the offer, the prices were very reasonable. The room was clean, and modern with no over the top clutter like you see in some places - just nice and relaxed. Downstairs, the lovely old building has been... More

Before going to the Moorcock, I read a lot of the reviews on this website, so I was aware that there seems to be a bit of a split between very good and very bad reviews. The pub is very cosy and warm, especially with the fire going, which makes a lovely contrast with the bleak hills outside. We stayed... More

We found the Moorcock Inn on the internet when looking for a nice place to hide from all the NYE parties for a couple of nights. It seemed perfect: in the middle of nowhere, good food, gay friendly, open fire in the bar and sofas to relax on. In reality, it was even better! Owners Caz & Catherine made us... More
