    We had a fantastic roast at the Dumb Post yesterday. Although very busy, the service was excellent, we didn't have to wait long for our drinks or food. When the food arrived we were not disappointed. We would highly recommend this pub for a Sunday lunch.

    Very disappointing. Having called in advance to ascertain whether or not they could cater for our 11 year-old coeliac daughter and been told that they could indeed do the burger, bun and fries all gluten-free, it was extremely irritating to be told on arrival that the oil they make the fries in is also used for batter containing gluten and so they could not provide gluten-free fries. This completely ruined what was supposed to be a special supper out for our daughter. To add insult to injury the staff were not remotely contrite and made no gesture of apology to her.

    We were warmly welcomed, and the pub’s friendly and inviting atmosphere set a great tone for our visit. It’s a charming spot with excellent service and an impressive selection of Butcombe beer. The chips were fantastic, crisp, and perfectly cooked. However, the BLT sandwich was a letdown. The ingredients seemed pre-prepared, diced, and mixed with a bland mayonnaise, served on granary bread. It lacked the freshness and flavour we’ve come to expect from a classic BLT. Unfortunately, my wife also found a hair in hers, which was disappointing. While today’s experience fell short of the high standard we’ve enjoyed in the past, we know this is not typical of the pub and will certainly return for another visit. This version maintains your points but balances the critique with a constructive tone.

    Absolutely fantastic meal and atmosphere. We had Sunday roasts and the dinners were huge and beautifully cooked with the most delicious gravy! What made the dining experience better was the excellent service we recieved from the staff, the girls were all happy to be there and ready to help, really friendly and made us feel very welcome. Great atmosphere too for the winter months. I can’t recommend highly enough. Thank You.

    Lovely food. Attentive staff. It was really heartwarming to see a country pub bustling and full of people and chatter and laughing when we arrived on a Tuesday evening!
