The Olde Dog Inn - Tye

Penny M.

Nine of us visited for a family pre Christmas get together. One member of our party is gluten free and the venue was chosen specifically with that in mind. The restaurant promotes accommodating different dietary requirements. As the set Christmas menu is only available Mon - Saturday we all decided to go for the next best option - a Sunday roast.
The food quality was satisfactory, mediocre at best and at £20 for just the plated main course, it's not exactly a cheap roast dinner. The presentation was poor and the staff, whilst very friendly, polite and attentive, were slapdash and lacking in knowledge.
The two Gluten Free starter options consisted of either the soup but served without the bread or the pate, again served without the bread (yes just pate!). When asked for the option of crudités for the pate (having explained what crudités are) the answer was no. The Gluten Free main course consisted of the standard roast, minus the Yorkshire and cauliflower cheese but definitely no substitutions or price adjustment. We asked to speak to the chef about the gluten free menu options but was barred from even looking into the kitchen and no one made an effort to come out to speak to us. If removing items containing gluten from the standard menu is accommodating a dietary requirement - it very much speaks for itself.
Desserts fared better. There was a gluten free brownie on the menu and an Eton mess (which is GF by default). The service was fast but the whole meal felt rushed and we were virtually asked to leave at the end to allow for another sitting. The venue was very busy and appeared to be popular so perhaps we were just unlucky. As a family we had a nice time, however will definitely not be returning.

Absolutely superb. Proper old school country pub, plenty of real ales, including a decent selection of local choices. Food was exceptional. I had the Italian Beef Shin stew with Gnocchi, which was everything it promised to be, followed by a selection of ice creams, including an utterly sublime Brandy Ice Cream. It's on our doorstep and we will be returning.

A visit between Christmas and New Year with both families and the food was really good. The service was pretty spot on. It was disappointing that communication prior to the evening meant we were nearly sat in the bar area on a very thin table to eat for 6 of us. A little more flexibility could have been considered in reflection of our specific needs.

Food, however, was delicious.

What a great pub. Drinks, food and service was excellent. The Haddock fish and chips was some of the best I’ve ever had. Started with smoked salmon and it was also very good. I would go here every day if I could.

Lovely traditional old pub with large outdoor seating area - at the front and at the back in the garden. Nice selection of beers, delicious food from set menu or daily specials. Kids friendly with outdoor play area. Highly recommend

Good food! Lovely old pub on a fairly quiet country route. 👌🏻

I'm upgrading my previous review due to today's visit on 22/09/2021 midday afternoon booking.

Fantastically helpful staff serving really good tasty tucker in a great tidy little old pub. (Toilets very clean👍) Plenty of parking too.

The only niggle I'm going to bring up was the occasional sewage smell emanating from a badly sealed manhole cover in the beer garden, not too great I'm afraid and needs rectifying really.

But other than that, nicely run! 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️

Thank you for today.
