View all feedback. What Kate M doesn't like about The Vine Inn:
The restaurant was disappointing, largely due to the unfriendly landlady who greeted us. It was no surprise that the place was empty. While the food was decent, it wasn't enough to make us want to come back. View all feedback.

The Vine Inn presents a mixed dining experience that leaves guests divided. While some patrons praise the welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious fare—particularly highlighting the well-cooked meals and vibrant garden—others lament the unwelcoming demeanor of the staff and inconsistent food quality. Reports of slow service, cleanliness issues, and a lack of engaging community events contribute to a perception of missed potential. Despite its charming ambiance and enthusiastic patrons, many urge the management to reassess their approach and enhance the overall dining experience. With a blend of commendations and critiques, the Vine Inn remains a pub in need of revitalization.
