I made a booking in Jan 2025 for a stay in May 2025. I received an e-mail cancelling my booking in late Apr 2025. I have tried to contact the Perch & Pike, but they won’t respond.

It would appear that you cannot rely on the Perch & Pike honoring their bookings. They seem to be happy cancelling your booking at short notice.

Long wait for food, took an hour and half between courses, wrong food was delivered caused extra wait, fish overcooked and oily, over seasoned very salty, tomato fondu was basically canned tomato on the plate! Over priced items, waiter very very nice and friendly and apologetic, unfortunately he was let down by kitchen and lack of supporting team

The best roast dinner around with the best gravy I’ve had with a roast maybe ever. Really friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. I would highly recommend!

Lovely meal this evening at the Perch & Pike. We booked for a large group of 11, service was spot on and the food was delicious, I can personally recommend the sticky toffee pudding 😋 we will hopefully book again for our next get together at Christmas and look forward to visiting again 😊

Called in for lunch. What a find. Extremely friendly welcome with engaging staff. Roaring fire cheered us up on a dull rainy day.

Food amazing. We’d recommend the pies and fruit crumble.
