“So I dined here for a Birthday lunch with my father - as a main course he had a venison casserole with fresh vegetables and potato purée £19.95 and I had battered cod and chips with mushy peas and I opted for a large fish £24.95 the regular version cost £19.95. Service was prompt and attentive. The food came up relatively quickly considering it was quite busy. Venison was good but had some grisley parts which is unusual for a venison the vegetables all got eaten. The cod was excellent. The batter was very crispy and the fish was a good decent large piece and tasted very . Chips seemed like a frozen variety but a good quality nonetheless, but they served far too many with the dish in my opinion. Mushy peas, you can’t really get wrong because they’re all out of a tin. Well dessert, we had one Affogato (espresso and ice cream) £6.95 and one carrot cake with a hot drink (espresso) £6.95. The building is set opposite rolling fields in what it feels like a village surroundings. It is well maintained and the interior is cleverly designed and very clean and well maintained. We sat directly next to a large crackling fire and as it was freezing outside this was very nice. I definitely recommend you try them. If this has been helpful, please like the post and follow me and I’ll follow you back. Have a lovely day.”

“Had delightful afternoon tea here for our anniversary. Plenty of sandwiches, cakes, scones & most importantly bottomless tea. The staff were very accommodating, & popped in every so often to check we didn't need anything. I loved the room, ambience & crockery. My only slight criticism is that the menu isn't online, so we didn't know what sandwiches were on offer. I don't like fish, curry or eggs, so I had limited choice, but I should have asked about alternatives, as I'm sure they could have rustled something up. A great experience, and we'll definitely return.”

“We went for afternoon tea today at The Chaser Inn to celebrate their launch week of this great idea, and we were thoroughly impressed! 😊 The afternoon tea was absolutely fantastic, with a lovely selection of cakes, sandwiches, and scones that just melted in your mouth. The scones & Carrot cake, in particular, were spot on, served with what was clearly homemade jam and clotted cream to go with it of course. 😋 We opted for the sparkling afternoon tea, which came with a glass of Prosecco and a jug of tea that got refilled twice with no extra charge. The service from all the staff was great, making our afternoon tea experience truly special. Well done, #ChaserInnteam, on a fabulous launch! 👏 Would definitely come back again for this! 👌🥂🍾🍰 Thank you!”
