Nicola, Alan & our team are passionate about the Quality food, drink and accommodation they serve, together with creating the right warm & welcoming atmosphere for all, with the highest of service standards…you will not be disappointed!.
Apparently known for its food but the kitchen was closed when we arrived. A new manager had just taken over and told us that they were still recruiting for a chef. Beer was OK but atmosphere was dead at lunchtime midweek.
3 night stay at the avenue. Very friendly team. We were well looked after. Local kindly booked us a taxi with friendly taxi driver. Sadly no food in evenings but city centre not far away.
Weekend away in the area. Great place to stay with a friendly Landlord and helpful, polite Staff. The Pub was spotlessly clean and well presented. Food was excellent with a good breakfast in the morning. Reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.
A warm welcome by Peter and Karen, all staff so friendly and encouraged to spend time with customers, nice touch, meals first class, lovely large comfortable room, and the most comfortable bed allowing for a great night's rest. Quiet village, friendly people, lovely spacious beer garden to the rear, and plenty of seating out the front of The Avenue. Will certainly be returning, finally, full English breakfast, toast, cereal, coffee, juice, everything you would expect in great surroundings. *****
Stayed here for 2 nights, room nice and comfortable, clean with everything you need including large TV and tea/coffee making facilities. Plenty of outside seating options to the front ,side and back of property. Ate here on the first night and the food was really nice and reasonably priced.Plenty of options for breakfast, I had am omelette on the second morning which I highly recommend was really tasty. All the staff very friendly and helpful, nothing much in High Shincliffe but plenty to in the surrounding area ,we enjoyed our stay here.
