What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Mews offers a vibrant atmosphere with generally friendly and accommodating staff, particularly praised for its Sunday Roast and its suitability for celebrations and dog owners. However, recent renovations have led to significant complaints about noise levels, making conversation difficult, and some guests have found the food served lukewarm with slow service, impacting the overall dining experience.
"We visited for the first time for our anniversary, everyone was so friendly and welcoming & couldn’t do enough for us. Food is 100/10 would recommend to anyone. The restaurant upstairs is absolutely beautiful"

"The atmosphere for the night was quite calm, so for us on that occasion it suited us perfectly. There was a ramp if required, but I relied on my friend to help me. It was reasonably priced for what we had, and we stayed for one drink - they were closing. They have special nights throughout the upcoming months, so it's definitely worth checking out."

"First visit to The Mews. Hidden away near the public carpark. Recommended by a friend. Chilled atmosphere with old mismatched furniture that works. Had the Sunday Roast Beef which was tender and tasty and my wife had the fish which sen liked. Friendly and attentive staff. Nice place for a leisurely Sunday afternoon lunch."
