Cracking find, Great service, friendly, personal and smooth. Plenty of choice on the menu at a reasonable price. Nice to be able to have a smaller main and leave room for dessert.

Our First visit to the restaurant and we were very pleased. There is a good range in the menu's so this catered for all our needs. Have to say the prices are so very good fish and chip's steak and chips are very competitive prices. My steak was excellent cooked just how I like it with chunky chip's just enough for me to enjoy my meal without to full as I had a 3 course meal. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals

We called in here for a bit of lunch. We are not local so had never been before. Its a lovely little pub with friendly staff. We hadn't book and although the place was busy they found us a table. There was a lovely atmosphere. We ordered food, hubby had cottage pie, I had pasta in a Stilton mushroom sauce. We both really enjoyed our meals. Good food at a reasonable price. Would go again if we are ever in the area. They have a whole menu of meals under 10

A large Party of us went for a meal and it was Lovely. The Owner and Staff were all great and we couldn’t have asked for more (apart from Cheesecake but I just couldn’t fit it in)! We had a great time Thanks.

Great food, that good we went 2 nights in a row!! It is also reasonably priced for the quality of the food we had. The 2 people that served us were both extremely polite, friendly and professional (young lady first night and young man the next night) The lady who answered the phone was also very friendly and bubbly and made us feel really welcome We will definitely be back!!

We stopped for the lunch,very welcoming staff,nothing too much trouble. The food was delicious too. I loved the boar wallpapers and boar light shade over the bar! Sitting outside available, the pub has a big parking right next to the building. I have a suggestion, and I apologise if its there and I haven't seen it, but maybe a playground for children - in future? Also maybe some activities and crayons? Anyway, we had a wonderful experience

Had lunch here on Friday, I chose the liver and bacon, absolutely tender pieces of liver, mash potatoes and lashings of tasty gravy, finished off with bacon. My partner tried the inside out chicken kiev, , which he really enjoyed, but could have done with some more garlic sauce. However the chicken was beautifully tender. Very professional waitress, Joyce?

Been to the Blue Boar couple of times, always have had a good meal here. Good choice of quality meals. Plus a good children’s menu. My wife had the liver and bacon, really enjoyed and the mash was excellent. I had the inside out chicken Kiev, which was wonderful, excellent flavour. Daughter had the homemade chicken goujons and chips. Which were excellent. Staff are friendly, helpful and attentive to the needs of their customers. Also book as they’re very busy. One of our favourite places.
