I have eaten in this restaurant many times and the food has always been excellent what lets this restaurant down is the service or the lack of it. Our table was booked for 8pm and at 8.25pm we still hadnt been shown to our table so we decided to go elsewhere as the waitress told us it would be at... More

I've been to the Yew Tree a couple of times and do plan on going back. While the food does not stand out significantly from any other restaurant in the area, it is well presented, tastes good and is very reasonably priced. The service is always friendly and you never feel in a rush to leave. Seating is available both... More

We went for a meal at the Yew Tree over the Christmas period in a large party of adults and children. The food was delicious, and we had a large selection of dishes, excellent value and the staff were great, especially with the kids. I would definitely recommend the Yew Tree and I look forward to going there again.

Having been to the Yew Tree a few times in the past few weeks, I thought I'd just update my previous review. It's still as friendly as ever, the food is as good as ever and I will continue to visit the Yew tree until something goes wrong, which I very much doubt. The staff are tremendous and the food...
