小博羅的雞雞客棧(The Moorcock Inn)

I feel rather sheepish for having taken the rather over blown web site details on trust. This really is not the sort of place I would usually choose. The warning sign was the car park on arrival - several trade vans, their owners inside talking (and swearing loudly). The bedroom tiny and with the smallest single beds Ive seen for a while The bathroom had a strong whiff of sewage. Dinner was very basic fare - adequate but no danger of a Michelin star that's for sure. Very limited choice for breakfast, but the full English was - as everything else in this establishment - just about OK. The only saving graces were the pleasant staff, who frankly seemed to be bailing out what looked like a sinking ship.

Went in for Sunday lunch with family. Lovely clean pub with an amazing outdoor seating area (unfortunately it was raining). Great extensive menu and the food came quickly and was delicious. Only marked down slightly as felt some dishes were expensive (really wanted to try burger but £2 for a slice of cheese seemed a but excessive) apart from that really enjoyed the food fish and chips was delicious as well as the roasts. Lovely staff full of northern charm

I’m really impressed, we visited the Moorcock for dinner before it changed hands and we could eat the food it was that bad. We came up on a beautiful sunny day and sat outside, ordered some food and were really impressed by it. The decor is so much better, the food is lovely, the staff are very friendly and the views well they never change. We loved the outdoor pod for events they’ve put up, the owners are obviously keen on investing and making the place even better. Will return

Seems nice clean place, beers are on form. Bit disappointed my telephone reservation for food 2 hours earlier seemed to have disappeared. Was shown to a table in middle of restaurant but we asked to move to one of the several vacant window seats (obviously). Plenty of staff & we got served after the table that came in after us. Not the most welcoming. 1 steak & beef dripping cooked chips, both were ok, 1 Sunday lunch (pork) large serving, veg nice, home made yorkie nice, large serving of pork which was ok. Spectacular views & owner seems to be putting the effort in, shame too windy to sit outside. All in all ok - bit of work needed on multiple young staff customer service - didn’t feel special but try it

Having known the chef here from another place went up with family to check it out OMG food just how I remembered his cooking Just do yourself a favour and go have a meal here Whole family loved it, you won’t go hungry the portions are big and the quality top notch Lovely setting - walk in and it’s like an old country pub (just how a pub should be) and then you walk into the restaurant and it’s like walking into a top notch restaurant in a city centre but with out the snobbery Staff all welcoming and very friendly Can’t wait to go back and work our way through the menu

Reviewed today on a Sunday lunchtime. Pub is situated in spectacular countryside, with lovely stone exterior. The biggest disappointment is the modern conversion of the dining area inside. The character completely gone and replaced by bland tables and decor, which is such a shame. The food was okay and reasonably priced.

As a Drop In its a Nice place for a drink and a Pub Grub meal. Certainly well liked by its regulars however for me it was certainly an acquired taste. No complaints about Food , Drink or layout, Cleanliness fine, Staff are welcoming However in my experience the "local regulars" are a bit bawdy and the use of bad language is loud and unchecked. I would visit again but would not consider the restaurant suitable for younger children as sound travels. Maybe it was just a bad evening.

Fantastic from booking this evening with a lovely lady who really went the extra mile in her attention to detail. We were really well looked after by Jake Ben and Kai excellent efficient and professional. The food was really well cooked excellent service and really good value. You used to be our go to but a couple of years ago slipped so we didn't come as much but guess what..... we are back. Thanks for a lovely evening

Visited for a casual birthday lunch on a cold February day recently. However this pub estaurant delivers a very warm welcome and food to match. The hospitality of the hosts and staff was first class! I even received a complimentary chocolate brownie with lit candle when they could see it was a birthday visit. Lovely place combined with excellent and professional service. A great venue for just a casual drink or a full blown feast!
