I'm rating this based on having a plant based/vegan diet. The rating was given because there was only 1 vegan main meal option on the two menus.
The only vegan option on the main menu and Sunday menu(no vegan choice) was the Moving Mountain Sheese burger which came with French fries and 2 onion rings £13. I had this with a side salad. The only other vegan item on the menu was mixed olives £4. The meal was good but only 2 onion rings was a bit mean and the side salad was fresh and crisp with a generous portion size for £3.
The people I was with had beef roast and chicken roast which they enjoyed apart from one of the beef roasts had inedible meat which was was fatty and sinewy. The roasts came with a good selection of vegetables, a yorkshire pudding, gravy, horseradish sauce. They also had a side order of cauliflower cheese £4 extra which they really enjoyed.
The noise level really spoiled the enjoyment for me as the football was on and the volume was uncomfortably loud and boomy. We asked for the volume to be turned down a little but it crept up again. It was difficult to have a conversation. I couldn't wait to leave and get away from the noise. We arrived at 2pm on a Sunday. Also, the lightbulb above our table was on it's way out so it flickered on and off throughout.
The decor and furniture of the pub is really nice. It's spacious with a garden and is dog friendly.
I would visit this venue again if they had more vegan options and I could sit somewhere quieter, preferably when the football isn't on.
The UK has the most vegans on the planet. I realise I'm still in a minority but I think venues should be offering more plant based options which gives customers more ethical, environmentally friendly choices.
Reply to owner; I did tell the young man that served us initially that I'm vegan. He went off to get me a vegan menu but then came back and said...

The food however took an eternity to come and when we went it was very quiet so that was a bit frustrating. The long wait means you order more drinks and the drinks aren't the cheapest. The white wine is always warm too. Husband enjoyed the IPA they had on though. The food.....one of our party had the lasagne which if I remember rightly was about £14. They said it could've been a microwave meal and was just average for the price. Would expect chips with it for that price. Some shared platters which were excellent. Lots of variety on the plate and generous portions. One had steak fondue which they absolutely loved but did say the camembert wasn't melted enough to dip the steak in. One had Gyros. Now this was just awful! Being very familiar with Gyros, I can safely say it was nothing like one! The chicken was plain chunks of chicken breast like the stuff you get frozen in bags. It had absolutely no flavouring on it at all which is wrong. The bread it's served in should be a soft floury flatbread. This was a rock hard pitta like thing that was so hard it was inedible. Barely any chips in it. The person who ordered it left it. At one point they banged the bread on the table to show us how hard it was. It shouldn't be on the menu. Would visit again but probably won't be top of our list and would be very careful about what we...
Read morelet me tell you about the sizzling roast beef dinner I had at The Wyvern last night—my taste buds are still blushing! From the moment we strutted in, James, our devilishly charming host, greeted us with a wink that could melt butter faster than their kitchen grill. His “welcome to The Wyvern, where we serve it hot and juicy” had me fanning myself before we even sat down. The roast beef? it was a throbbing slab of perfection, so tender it practically whispered, “Take me now.” Each slice was dripping with juices that made my mouth water in ways that felt borderline indecent. The gravy? A silky, sultry cascade that left me moaning with every bite. Those crispy roast potatoes were like little golden nuggets of sin, and the Yorkshire pudding? Puffed up and ready to please, it practically begged to be devoured. James checked in just as I was getting intimate with my plate, asking if the beef was “hitting all the right spots.” Oh, James, you cheeky devil, it absolutely was! The veggies were steamed to a seductive crunch, and don’t get me started on the horseradish sauce—it had just the right amount of bite to make things naughty. By the end, I was stuffed in all the best ways, practically needing a cigarette after that feast. The Wyvern’s roast beef dinner, with James’ flirty charm, is a scandalously delicious affair that’ll leave you hungry for seconds—and maybe a cold shower. Five stars, you saucy...
