   Quirky and eclectic venue with good ambience, food and helpful staff. Drinks are not cheap but well worth a visit if only to a see the mini farm in the beer garden!

   A lively location, laidback atmosphere and decor. Pleasant and helpful staff. But let down by poor food - especially the overcooked oven pizzas. Not good value when you add in long wait owing to staff shortages.

   My husband and I live locally and have chosen not to visit for a few years as the times we had gone we had been disappointed. We thought it was worth another try and want to support our local restaurants. The staff were kind and attentive but it did not feel like there was one person overseeing things. My husband had the prawns to start but they came cold. I had the squid which was find but the salad on the side looked sad and like it had maybe seen better days. It was the same for the side salad that I ordered separately. He ordered the pie next which was burnt on top and I had the steak which was fine but felt overpriced at £24. We had a drink outside in lower part of the garden. It looked so neglected and not clean. There were lots of broken parasols all over the place and empty glasses on tables. We can't fault the staff but we can't justify returning as going out is such a treat and should be special wherever you are and sadly it was not a special experience for us.

   This place has gone downhill to be honest which is a real shame. I went for a treat for my 30th birthday and was very disappointed. I had a £26 rib eye steak which was 2/3 fat and when I mentioned it to the waiter I was given a blank stare. No apology or anything. Service was very poor also. I won’t be returning I’m afraid.

   I have been to the Jacobs Inn before and had a great experience with great food. However, recently I was very disappointed in the food quality. It is still a nice place to go for a drink with great sized outdoor seating. Love the resident goats and chickens! But it will be just drinks for us for until they get back to food standard they used to be.

   Food was lovely but we got charged an automatic 12.5% service charge for a small table of 4! They have farm animals in the outside area so I do question if it is hygenic especially since there is also a cat which presumably can move close to the farm animals and transfer bugs to the rest of the outdoor eating space.

    An ok pub. Needed a Sunday roast and Jacobs Inn had lots of free tables. The food was ok tasting. Would have liked fresh veg instead of frozen. Unfortunately for desert we had a delicious chocolate orange torte but was served with Raspberries with mold on. The staff were friendly but not very efficient. They took our drinks order and we had to grab one of them to take our food order. Then at the end the bill came and they had charged us for 3 drinks we hadn’t ordered and put the 12.5% tip on automatically which I appreciate we could have asked to be reduced but obviously that makes it awkward. Unfortunately won’t go back as nicer pubs available in area.

    Clearly a very popular venue with staff that actually have a personality. Loved the amazingly curated garden and the food was to die for, nothing but compliments from me. Thank you guys!

    Not as good as it used to be - food was OK but it took a long time to arrive and the service was poor.

    As always, our meal in Jacobs Inn was lovely. Great food, in a great setting. Our server was really attentive and good humoured. I would definitely recommend.

    Had to wait 15 minutes to get our table despite pre booking as no one around to help the poor young barmaid who was trying to cope with a tsunami of arrivals. Then almost another hour just to get our first drink and for us to order. After that ( and my going and speaking to someone inside) things improved and when it arrived the food was fine. But fellow diners all complaining, some more vociferously than others, Made it an uncomfortable environment for a quiet meal! Felt very sorry for the junior staff who seemed to be running the whole thing, and had neither the experience or the resources to deal with such a chaotic and unsatisfactory setup.

    It took 2hrs for our food to arrive. Staff were trying but seemed fairly clueless as to what was going on. Overall, a fairly stressful family dinner and we will not be returning.

    While the staff were very nice, the service was incredibly slow. Waited 35 minutes for our drinks despite asking after them 3 times. More staff needed! Food was excellent and arrived promptly. Not sure I agree with automatic 12.5 percent service charge either.

    Jacobs inn food has gone done in my estimation. The Sunday roast was dry and overcooked with the vegetables soggy. The staff are young bored and unhelpful.
