Most Disliked
While the atmosphere at Moss Inn is often praised, peak times can become overwhelmingly busy, especially on Sundays during lunch hours when the establishment reaches full capacity. It may lead to longer wait times for food and service, which could be frustrating for eager diners.
Some visitors have mentioned occasional issues with dish consistency, particularly when it comes to specials which may differ in quality on busy nights.
Parking, despite being free, can be limited during peak hours, necessitating some foresight in planning your arrival. Additionally, the casual vibe, while delightful for most, might not appeal to those seeking an upscale dining experience.

Had the full Sunday roast, and it couldn't have been any better. Huge portions! I had the 'medley' version of the roast, which included beef, chicken and gammon, along with several large and beautifully cooked Yorkshire Puddings. Perfect!

Just had an excellent steak and ale pie in this surprisingly great find. The pie was , indeed, a pie and not a stew with a lid. It was well seasoned with a crusty pastry. The rest of the group, 2 steaks and a salmon of the specials menu. Not a negative word from anyone in our group of 4. It’s worth the short detour off the A68 for those passing.

Our first visit to The Moss. It was our son's birthday and we'd heard about the steaks. We weren't disappointed. The food was wonderful - generous portions, reasonable prices and the steaks were outstanding! We'll certainly be back! Friendly, helpful staff and a nice atmosphere. We'll certainly be back!

What a beautiful place for Sunday lunch! Ya have to book well in advance but will say the beef was the best I've had. Wish there were different veg just bc I'm picky and didn't eat what was there. I prefer broccoli, corn and green beans ;-) Either way it was amazing and well priced.
