I was introduced to The Pointing Dog shortly after I moved to the area. It was summer and we sat outside in the sunshine enjoying very nice food. I have been back 5 times since then and and have introduced other friends to the pub, which I would only do if I felt that the pub was very good. I have enjoyed the same excellent standard of food every time and the customer service has also been very good every time - now that is quite difficult to pull off as all too often standards slip, but not here apparently (not so far anyway). Some favourite dishes include the dressed crab and the chile squid taco (both starters).

I have been back to the PD a number of times since my first review and have always had excellent food and serivce. So we decdied to go there for NYE. The set price of £49 per head was so worth it, 3 delicious courses, I had the pate which was rustic and tasty then duck which melted in your mouth, followed by the lightest ginger cake. The choice of wine was excellent, and there seems to be a wine for everyone taste The live jazz band were fantastic and played most of the evening but you were still able to chat with fellow guests. Midnight brought loud cheers and fireworks in the outside garden area. After dining had finished the band volume went up a notch and they had most people up dancing by the end of the evening. Everyone in my party enjoyed their evening.

I have been to the PD on many occasions and have never been disappointed! At first glance the menu looks pricey however you get what you pay for in quality and quantity! Very impressed with both the waiting and bar staff on their efficiency and enthusiasm for their job ! Everything from their large array of cocktails to deserts and everything in between is extremely tasty and well cooked! I will continue to sing its praises and dine/drink there !
