Restaurants near Merrythought

Nice pub grub food. The restaurant was rather cold, though. We went for a drink at the bar after, and although the lighting was nice and ambient, the music left a lot to be desired. It was like a 90s disco, and not in a good way! Luckily, we could not hear this in the restraint area whilst we were eating. I would have complained if so.

We were well looked after, with excellent service. The food was good, and nicely presented; we couldn’t really fault it, apart from perhaps a bit too much salt in everything, but it lacked the wow factor that would have made it special. We dined on two consecutive nights and were a bit disappointed that the ‘daily menu’ was exactly the same both nights.

I love the fact that the staff remember you and offer a genuine welcome every time you return. The place was beautifully decorated for the pending Christmas Season and I was particularly taken by the new Christmas Cushions. We even had a chuckle with staff over whether I could get away with taking one home under my jumper! Keep up the good work and The Punch Bowl is definitely our go to place when we have friends staying as well as for other special occasions. Matthew Stafford
