Food amazing. Shelia and her long devoted friend were so welcoming, they go there every week and I can see why. Well done guys great pub.

*update* been back March 2024 and Sophie is back. It's back up it's glorious great value roast. Wow! A stunning Sunday roast at unbelievable value can be had here. Booking is advisable as it was very busy. The roast beef, was restaurant quality. Amazing. Perfectly cooked. Up there with the best roast beef I've ever had. The vegetables were also good. Potatoes and parsnips nice and crisp. Lots of gravy and a great big Yorkshire. Everything was piping hot which is a rarity in many places. Plating and service must have been very efficient. If I'm being picky, the cauliflower cheese could have done with being a bit more cheesy and was screaming out for a bit of nutmeg and more seasoning. However, it was only a tiny gripe because it was included within the price of the meal,and not sold as an extra (like most other places). It is a well cooked roast made by a very good chef that loves their food. I can't believe the price, as I've paid much more locally for far less quality. Highly recommended.

Overall an odd experience, it was as though the person working behind the bar didn’t want us there from the moment we arrived and asked for menus. Just very blunt with our whole group and they weren’t busy as it was mid-week at lunch so not sure why we were given a dismissive energy. Nice pub, food and garden though so it was a shame. Doubt we’ll visit again as would prefer to try other local businesses

The Admiral is a quaint little pub! Was nice and quiet with lots of places to sit. Nice and clean pub. Staff at the bar were very friendly too. Ample car parking spaces however this is a Thursday lunch time. A little expensive in comparison to other pubs in the area £36.88 for two burgers a larger top and a tomato juice, still not bank breaking but I think a lunch menu works good was really nice! We had the ranch Reaper burger and the signature desperados nacho burger. 10/10 got to day! Overall a great experience-I bet it is lovely on a sunny day to sit out in the garden. Strong recommendation 🙏

Under new management this pub has transformed into a really friendly, cosy pub with really friendly, bubbly staff who are very efficient with great tasting food and a Sunday roast I would put in my top 2. Sophie and the team have really done a great job here which will see us frequent regularly.

Although slow service with just the landlord serving and food taking 20 minutes it was worth it as really fresh and well cooked food. We had Gammon, Burger and Halloumi fries. Good beer in the correct glasses also appreciated

Wow. What a difference in a year since our last visit which was horrible. The new owner Don, since September 2024, has made this pub very warm and welcoming. It's a lovely atmosphere and we will definitely be back. (Tomorrow).. We've not tried any food yet but will do in the near future.

I'm a musician passing through Ash Vale and stopped for a bite to eat. I was met with a welcome smile from a young lady behind the bar. I asked if they were still doing food as time was getting on then told they were. I ordered scampi & chips and a coke and cost me £17. I grabbed my coke and got myself seated. Within 5 minutes my food came it was lovely and hot and the taste was even better. I would happily pay £25 for what I had so all I can say if you are passing this way pop in and grab your your self a meal for a great price. There was also great banter from the people in the bar. Over all it was a lovely clean pub with very well kept toilets run by good people. Compliments also to the chef. What ever your doing guys your doing it right.
