About This Pub
Ah, Chapelford Farm – it's one of those pubs that really hits the spot for a casual get-together or a family meal, isn't it? From what I've gathered, the staff are just brilliant most of the time, always chipping in with a smile and making sure everyone's sorted, even for little ones with specific needs. The food's a winner too, especially their carvery and roasts, which come in at a fair price and leave you feeling properly satisfied. It's got all the right touches for a good time, like being family-friendly with handy facilities and a nice vibe near local attractions. On the flip side, though, it's not perfect – I've heard a few tales of service slipping up, where you might feel a bit invisible, and the food hasn't been up to scratch recently for some, with burnt potatoes or messy orders putting a dampener on things. Still, with a solid overall rating, it's worth giving it a go if you're in the area, just maybe keep an eye on the busier times to avoid any hiccups. All in all, it's a solid choice for us pub enthusiasts, as long as you go in with realistic expectations.

Such a lovely experience today at Chapelford Farm celebrating a Birthday. The establishment was clean with a friendly atmosphere. Every staff member was friendly and nothing was too much to ask, even down to catering to our daughter's 'safe food'. The food was just gorgeous and at such a good price point! We sat in the children's area were our kids had a great time. We will definitely recommend to others and will be revisiting again ourselves. Thank you to all of the team! : )
Food was all cooked perfectly and tasted amazing, had a hiccup with an order missing but they were so apologetic & was out within 10mim of me balling and gave me two very large slices of cake as a sorry. Really appreciated :-)
Today I went in for a carvery take away with crumble & custard. I have done this before also had sit down meals. I always recommend Chapleford Farm but no more.
Bad service I thought I was invisible. Eventually a lady took my order, I went across to the carvery & again became invisible. When I finally got served the chap handed me a box which I struggled to open. He placed a slice of beef & walked away. I proceeded with the veg etc. Roast potato's burnt, cauliflower just about edible, Broccoli unedible hard also the sprouts were like stones also inedible. I went to collect the crumble & custard which was cold, they had not heated it up. I don't have a microwave, luckily my neighbours did have one. All in all sadly a awful meal & awful experience.
What was once a highly recommended place to enjoy a meal, has now gone down hill.
Been coming here for 18 months, most weeks. Since around November the carvery has gone right down hill. Burnt food, hard burnt roast potatoes, dried out vegetables and either sloppy wet or dried out mash! We stopped coming over December and January as it got so bad but we gave it another chance today and the only thing that has changed is the service from the waitresses has gotten worse. We weren't greeted and seated as usual as the waitress was chatting at the bar and we had no service check where we could have highlighted our issues. We weren't the only people who were unhappy with our food we heard a few complaints from where we were sat. Unfortunately we won't be coming back.
On leaving the Waitress was outside smoking. The whole 45 mins we were there we didn't have one interaction with the waitress and it was no wonder we couldn't find her to complain.
Went here for Sunday carvery, and it was great! The food was really tasty, with good meats and delicious sides. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. Nice, relaxed atmosphere too. Definitely a good spot for a Sunday roast. I’ll be back for sure!
