    I recently booked an area at The Blue Ball for my son's 18th birthday on New Year's Eve. The booking system was great and the staff were very helpful. The manager was also lovely and very accommodating. The food was delayed, but the staff explained the situation and apologised for the inconvenience. I was disappointed that my eggs royale arrived with a slice of ham, but there was no mention of this on the menu. The manager seemed to think that the chef had combined two dishes! My mum’s was the same Unfortunately, the manager didn't offer to change it, which was disappointing. Overall, I had a mixed experience at The Blue Ball. The staff and atmosphere were great, but the food was disappointing. I would recommend this pub for drinks and a casual atmosphere

    A Perfect Post-Dog-Walk Spot! We visited The Blue Ball in Walton on the Hill after a lovely dog walk, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. There were four of us and four dogs, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a walk. The food was absolutely fantastic—clearly made with care and attention to detail. It’s not every day you find a pub that excels at both great food and a friendly vibe! A special mention goes to the manager, an Irish gentleman I recognized from a visit the year before. I didn’t catch his name, but he’s absolutely first class—fantastic with both customers and his team. His leadership clearly shines through, as both the waitresses and waiters were superb, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. The staff’s friendliness extended to our furry companions too, making it a truly dog-friendly spot. If you’re in the area, whether for a walk or just a good meal, I couldn’t recommend The Blue Ball highly enough.

    We visited the Blue Ball with a large table booking. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They were kind, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food was great. We will definitely be back. Thank you to all the team from the bar staff, waiting staff and chef 👌🏽

    Lovely country pub, with extremely well presented and delicious food. We all had Sunday roasts and couldn't manage to finish as they portions were so generous. The owner Colin introduced himself and the staff could not have been more attentive. We have now booked for Christmas we were that impressed!
