The Yard

This was a very special event celebrating both my birthday and my daughter's engagement. The staff made everyone welcome and were very friendly. The layout of the upstairs was very good as it let everyone move around both inside and outside. Even the rain did not dampen the night just kept us all nice and cool. The food was fresh and very tasty especially the chips! With the DJ we were able to have a great laugh and dance. It was nice and private making it a very special occasion. Everyone commented on how they enjoyed the night. The service prompt and polite. Thank You. Julie.

An excellent venue for my 50th birthday Sunday afternoon bash. The staff were very helpful and the red and back décor with chandelier was perfect. The food was delicious. Birthday card and voucher for a meal from the Yard was a lovely touch!

I held my 21st birthday/engagement party at The Yard over the weekend (12th April 2008). After a recent Friday evening visit I enquired behind the bar about the possibility of hiring the room and balcony area upstairs. The staff and managers were great from the start, phone and email communication was great, and the barman on the night was extremely polite and hardworking. The room was the prefect size for our 50 guests, we had the doors to the balcony open due to the mild evening which added to the atmosphere. I have had brilliant comments about the food which was delicious, we didn't have a bite leftover! The music was great and not at all obtrusive.

Once again thank you to everyone at The Yard for making our evening so special, I would certainly recommend your venue!

After spending many a Friday lunchtime in your fine establishment I was disappointed to see the Steak and Ale pie removed from the menu at the beginning of summer.
We accepted the managers comments that is was a winter dish and moved onto burgers.
With the weather now decidedly wintery we are disappointed to see that the Steak and Ale pie has not returned to the menu.
We would love to see this classic dish put back on the menu so we can one again enjoy a great pie on them cold winter lunchtimes.

p.s. you only get a 4 out of 5 rate due to the lack of pies.
