What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Granville offers a delightful dining experience with many praising its superb dishes, friendly service, and cozy atmosphere, especially highlighted by the crackling log fire. While most find the food delicious and the setting charming, some note that portion sizes for roasts could be more generous and the dessert selection limited on Sundays. The pub also caters to motorhome travelers with free stopovers, adding to its appeal.
"Great food, nice people, really quite and easy for our night in the campervan as well"
Matteo D'Incecco
"Very good meal, the drink selection was good and the service was excellent. The star is lost as £16 for the roast although good quality was steep for the quantity of food received. The dessert selection on the Sunday menu was quite limited which meant none of our group had dessert. The Cajun chicken burger a member of our group had looked amazing and got a good review from him. I would choose this if I went on a Sunday again."
Daniel Baruch
"Great little pic, super friendly and really helpful staff. This place also offers free stopovers ( without facilities) for motorhomes. Food was delicious and they also served locally grown wine( lots of vineyards around the area) Simpson wine was nice. Highly recommend."
