I visited The Golden Ball with my friends on a sunny Saturday for lunch and we had a marvelous time. We sat outside in one of the tables in the garden. The service was friendly and attentive. Now the indisputable standout was the food, truly superb and way above the standards of a pub. You will feel like eating in a fine restaurant while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the countryside. Each dish was exquisitely presented and full of flavour. Even the bread and butter were homemade by the chef. I can't recommend the experience enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Haven’t have such a great meal for a long time. Set lunch menu is really good. Staffs are very nice plus food is amazing. Worth to visit and I will definitely come back!

Visited the pub on a Sunday, thankfully had booked as they were full! Exceptional food. Really quite something. It’s a 45 min drive for me and I’m planning to go back soon!!! The paneer starter was out of this world; the peach tarte tatin was fabulous, and everything else in between was outstanding. Book it immediately.

My wife and I enjoyed a superb three course lunch yesterday, our first visit to the Golden Ball. There’s an excellent value 2 and 3 course set menu option (£20/25 respectively) as well as a-la-carte (starters c£10, mains c£25-30, desserts c£9) and a well balanced, fair value wine menu. They’re a small team at the moment so cover numbers are limited, but service is friendly, welcoming and not compromised. The food is delicious, clearly prepared with care and a joy in using excellent produce in creative ways. My wife enjoyed the aubergine, venison and rhubarb (all of which looked tantalising and she said were delicious), whilst I chose Tandoori Quail, Duck with blood orange and Baked Alaska with figs. Every dish was superb, full of flavour and textures, clearly created by a skilled hand. Very reasonably priced for the quality, we’ll definitely be back.

What a delightful discovery. We were there on a Thursday evening and it was quiet but cosy. Service was attentive. And the food was extraordinary - from the bread rolls with whipped garlic butter through the starter, main course and omg I'm still dreaming about my rhubarb custard lemon balm tart dessert. Highly recommend!

Everything was delightful: the couple who own and run the place, the venue itself and the food & drinks. Many circular walks start/end here so you can exercise then reward yourself. Lovely outdoor space for spring/summer and cosy indoor space the rest of the time.

Fabulous food! So much better now that it’s under new ownership. The venison that I had for my main was so succulent. Not something that I would normally order, but I wasn’t disappointed. Excellent waiting staff, very attentive.
