We saw this pub/hotel and decided to stop for something to eat, from the outside it look quite pleasant large carpark, nice front garden, but all changed when we walked in!! The bar man had disgusting filthy nails which I must say was very off putting, the female toilet was very small, toilet seat didn't fit the toilet properly, the... More

Booked in for a couple of nights with intent of reducing overcrowding at family home at time of a bereavement. Had to change my plans after I had booked in. Quite happy to pay the default deposit ( one night's accommodation ) and left it with the Inn to resolve, a mistake !! Got massively overcharged for a couple of... More

Having been eaten at the Horton Inn on a number of occasions we were looking forward to a lovely Mothers Day lunch, but were very dissapointed with the food and the service, long wait for food to be served, poor selection of vegetables. The 'carver' seemed annoyed when one of our party asked for some beef that was not 'pink'.

I went to the Horton Inn yesterday with my Wife, Daughter and Son in law. We had a perfect three course meal each. Good Quality and Good Portions. The staff could not have been more polite and helpfull. We really enjoyed our visit. I cannot understand the previous bad reviews. We will definitely go there again.

We have used the restaurant a number of times over the years for family get-togethers and thought it was good value. When two of us popped in to use the carvery on Sunday we were dismayed at the service. There was a long wait to be served (20 mins) because the "carver" had no back-up from the kitchen and had...

This attractive building has been allowed to run down on the upper floors. The restaurant and bars were tolerable and were busy on one of the nights we were there but the bedrooms needed renovation. We could only get boiling hot water with a dribble of cold out of the shower and have written to Marstons Brewery, the owners, about... More

We used to love coming here for steak night and have always been impressed with the great quality food at exceptional prices (2 steaks for £10 - you can't go wrong it's cheaper than buying it and cooking it yourself at home). However last night we took some family who were staying down with us for a few days. We... More

Had dinner here last week. It was truly awful. Prawn Cocktail was just some prawns stuck on top of a garnish (including peppers and onions) with some sauce clearly from a jar. We both had rump steaks, which were tough and poor. They came with chips which tasted of fish (it was 'fish and chip night'), a burnt tomato and... More
