The Wild Boar

Four of us visited to celebrate our friends birthday and have the alternative afternoon tea. I have visited before but my firends had not. My previous experience had been wonderful, and I rated it as 5/5. Firstly, the good points. The surroundings are superb. The decor is authentic and very quaint. It's clean and welcoming, lovely open fires. The staff are friendly, Jorge is a credit to the place, as is the young lady behind the bar (didn't get her name). Now for the not so good. I have to say that nothing about our experience was awful. It just fell a little short of what we expected for afternoon tea at £35 per head. When our food arrived, it was missing a few items. One of us had ordered the vegetarian option, there was no olives and feta, no halloumi fries and we had a fish goujon missing. The staff were very gracious and rectified this straight away. We had to ask for our teas and coffees. Our food had been taken away and we were sitting with a scone waiting for our hot drinks. Again, the staff rectified it straight away, but I'm not sure we should have to ask. They weren't busy, there were empty tables. If I just took into account the above, our visit was still worthy of a 4/5. However, the soup was watery and tasteless, the pear tart was VERY dry, the fish goujons were a tad greasy and the pigs in blankets were barely cooked. We didn't complain at the time as we just left the piggies and the soup and took our tarts home with us. I would probably still go again but this visit was definitely disappointing, given the cost.

Surprise one night's stay booked by my hubby for my birthday 🎂 He booked the February 1 night special. ROOM - The room was beautiful, decorated in taste with the rest of the hotel. Clean and tidy, and the bed was so comfy BREAKFAST - Everything you could ask for plus more. We had the wild boar breakfast, and it filled us up to 3pm. before we had another bite to eat. AFTERNOON TEA- He also booked the alternative afternoon tea for when we arrived. Again this was gorgeous STAFF - The staff are so friendly and attentive towards their guests, nothing is too much trouble for them Absolutely fabulous Sunday nights stay at the wild boar. If you do get chance book the February special, it was amazing

Booked here for a surprise meal for my partner for his birthday and it did not disappoint! Thank you to the attentive staff who made our experience a joy from start to finish. On arrival to the table the staff had laid out 30th confetti (which wasn't requested by me) so that was a pleasant and lovely surprise! Food was incredible. Highly recommend the scotch egg, croquettes, burger and steak - compliments to the chef! The building and interior of the pub is unique, with roaring fires which was lovely. The tables are well spaced out so you have privacy and room to move around when needing to use the facilities. Next time we are visiting the lakes we will definitely be booking again! Thank you again to all the staff at the Wild Boar

Stayed for the new year break, fantastic itinerary, champagne tasting was excellent and very good food.
