I've previously done reviews on the amazing food at the Ball Inn.
Today I went in for a vegetarian big breakfast. It's a meal fit for a king.
That's not why I'm doing today's review today. I saw three incidents that really are heartwarming. The food in the Ball Inn is absolutely magnificent, it's very welcoming, there's a great atmosphere in the place and there's always a fantastic crowd in.
As I was eating my food, I noticed two groups of three young women.
In each group, there were three generations of the same family grandmother, mother and granddaughter. That tells me that this is a family friendly pub which is welcoming to all.
However, on my way out, I noticed that there was a lady in a wheelchair eating with her family and I noticed a very kind member of staff giving every assistance to this person.
This tells me that this is a very family friendly pub that is welcoming to all.
I would suggest you don't take my word for it. I would suggest you get all your family together and come down for a pub lunch. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
Like me in the true James Bond fashion, you'll be shaken but not stirred.

We are regular visitors to The Ball on Wednesday nights for a meal and a catch up with friends. Tonight the pub was the busiest we've seen it for a long time. However, the food was excellent tonight and we all really enjoyed our meals.
The difference tonight was that the chef, Garion, came out of the kitchen to ask if we had enjoyed our food, and nothing was too much trouble for him or the waiter who served our meals. Not sure if Garion is a new chef, and his assistant, James, too, but hope they are here to stay, as the meals tonight were the best we have had there for a while.
