The Merry Monk

“Nice atmosphere, great location, nicely decorated and good food.”

We came here for a carvery on a Sunday, we booked and arrived for 6pm, by which time there was already a big queue out of the door. We chose to sit in the restaurant area, which had a lovely atmosphere. They have a great system to prevent queues at the carvery itself, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Dylan, was lovely and very friendly!

Simply the best roast I ever had. Everything is made with quality and love. Literally everything on my plate was delicious. Special shout out to the honey glazed parsnips, layerd potatoes, cauli + broccoli cheese and the lovely tender beef. Love the call out system that one table at a time gets called to the carvery and you will find your plates there ready for you, adding a civilised experience with no pressure to keep the queue moving so you end up with a delicious plate of your liking. Just wish our waitress explained the system better as I was just looking for a plate to jump on the car

The Merry Monk offers one of the best and most affordable carveries around. At £24 for two on a Saturday, it’s excellent value. The selection of vegetables is usually good, and service tends to be efficient if you go earlier in the day. However, on our latest visit, things were clearly stretched. We had a 2:15 pm booking on a busy Saturday, and the place was packed. After ordering drinks and two regular carveries, we were told to expect a 20-25-minute wait. In reality, it took closer to 45-50 minutes before we were called up. When we got to the counter, a few items (like roast potatoes, Brus

We were welcomed into the restaurant and sat down to wait our turn to be called up to the carvery. 3 meats to choose from plus lots of yummy veg. We sat in the conservatory which was light and airey.
