Bourne Valley Inn

Beautiful setting, all the staff are very friendly. Good food and beers. Room a little cramped but that's to be expected in an old building really. Nothing more to say really but it seems I have to use at least 200 characters. Like being back in school :)

My daughter and I were booked for lunch, frankly I was grateful to be able to book anywhere for Boxing Day lunch at relatively short notice (5.12.24). The menu was reduced but I would expect this after Christmas Day, they were very busy but the team were attentive to our needs and we enjoyed their hospitality for the duration of our visit; we were T23 and our primary server was Autumn (Team Leader). I would highly recommend you visit this pub in the Butcombe Pub Group of Inns, I have been to others and not one has disappointed yet; Sunday Lunches are great.

Popped in for a drink late Friday afternoon , used to be gem of a place , beer garden looks like it needs a bit of a tidy up considering a very good draw with river running through , grass overgrown , tables covered with seeds from trees , not that appealing , didn’t choose to eat , seems to have gone downhill compared to what it used to be , a nice country pub

We visited for Sunday lunch in April. To start off with, we waited a few minutes by the bar before anyone acknowledged us, despite two members of staff walking past us. The food was so poor. We ordered white bait and soup to start. There were only 5 very tiny white bait in the bowl, it looked like they had been half eaten, and not crispy, we actually couldn’t quite believe it had even been served to us like this. The soup was flavourless. The roast was fine, nothing special, however the cauliflower cheese was an extra £5 side, not included, unlike all other pubs in the area, and if it was a delicious cauliflower cheese we certainly wouldn’t mind but it was bland with very little cheese. The burger was over cooked and charred black all over, and tasted more burnt than burger. The cheese on top of the burger was a flat square of yellow ‘cheap’ cheese you can pick up in the super market 10 slices for £1. Really poor. We ordered a side salad, which was just romaine lettuce, no sauce and nothing else, and charged £5 for the privilege. So poor. Such a shame as this pub used to serve great food!

Had the pleasure of spending the day , and staying the night before and after at The Bourne Valley Inn on Friday 1st February at our daughter and son in laws wedding . A very special day where nothing was too much trouble for Tammy and her team. Thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who joined us . Had a lovely sit down 3 course wedding breakfast and evening buffet . The rooms were comfortable , clean and warm throughout.

Fantastic meal and lovely service. Wow what a find this pub is, from the moment you walk in to the pub you are made to feel very welcome. We were greeted by a lovely lady called Chelsea, who was very friendly. The menu is lovely there is so much to choose from. The food and drinks came out very quick. Hats of to the chef the food was amazing. We will definitely be coming back
