   Been here lots of times. We go for the roasted sirloin joint Sunday lunch, it used to be 2 big slices nice and pink. Upon arrival the menu was different. It was a birthday party of 6. The beef was just a normal beef joint not pink at all and a little tough. others had Lamb/Turkey and gammon which we all enjoyed just disappointed that the beef quality had changed. The staff that served us were excellent so all in all a nice meal. Bring back the pink sirloin beef joint then it would have been 5*

   Didn't really know what we expected. Went for the "Wicked" themed afternoon tea. Apart from the food being name associated to "Wicked" that was it. The small basket fish and chips was a bit off piste but nice. A generous selection of cakes. The blueberry muffin being the standout. The wife liked the quiche, but it wasn't for me. Just the 2 finger sandwiches. To be honest I thought the egg mayonise was a bread and butter accomplice to the fish and chips. The pot of tea was really nice. Service was very good. Very friendly waitress. Value for money? It was priced about right.

   Lovely food today and a great pint of beer. The burger and lamb and mint pie were excellent.

   Beautiful meal on Friday evening. I had the herb crusted cod, the freshest fish I've ever had (and I love my fish) and it was a lovely thick piece cooked to perfection. It was served with asparagus and a variety of fresh vegetables also cooked expertly. The butter sauce was divine! My husband had the lamb curry which had a lot of good sized chunks of lamb in it and again was perfect. Not our first visit, had many tasty meals here, it just gets better and better. Highly, highly recommend this exquisite charming country pub with impressive decor and food to match!

   Came here on a whim as our usual was fully booked. We booked online and were Seated earlier than the reservation as we were starving! Staff really friendly and helpful, accommodating with helping choose a nice wine. Ordered Sunday lunch, and I even asked for a slice of a second meat which was no problem. Food was absolutely incredible. Chicken tender and full of flavour and the gravy was out of this world. Everything fresh and tasty, and we have ditched the old local for the parish oven.

   Lovely place just what you'd expect from a country pub. Had quite a wait for food ,think it may all be cooked fresh which is OK if told first so you know there could be a wait. Plenty to eat for me but maybe a bit more for the men.

   Do not eat here! Upon arrival to our booking at 4:00pm for a Sunday roast, we sat and all four of us wanted beef dinner, they told us there was no beef. I had also been to this restaurant the prior week and they told me the same thing but the waiter ended up bringing us beef anyway so it showed the lack of communication and disorganisation between the chef, management and staff. We wanted to give it another chance but safe to say they have blown it and won’t be returning. When our food came out, the food for what we paid was ridiculously small (see picture of mash potato especially!). When we asked the waiter if they honestly thought it was acceptable he was very honest with us which we appreciated and said no, we asked for extra mash and the waiter said that there was not enough potato. The manager Kyle came over and said to us “what’s the problem” so straight away we knew he wasn’t going to accept any kind of responsibility or take our opinions seriously and try and help us as his customer. When we asked him if he thought that the portion size was acceptable, his first words were “we have a large party booked tonight, so we are saving the mash”. We then said to him that we are paying full price like the large group are so why are we entitled to less of a portion size than them. It’s not our fault they haven’t stocked up enough, they should serve portion sizes normally and then if they run out, come up with a solution for those like any other restaurant. He then said to us “this is our normal portion size” which was clear he was trying to come up with an excuse for his original comment after probably realising how unprofessional he has been. No sign of any kind of apologetic approach, full bill paid and manager nowhere to be seen upon us leaving.

   Superb food and great service. Online booking process was easy and fast, we didn’t wait long for our food and the portions were massive. Honestly didn’t have any room for desserts, but the food was so good we ordered them anyway

   It was all going so well… until the end. So turned up, no booking. It was quiet, we were greeted by a young lady, she explained the restaurant was busy but we could eat in the bar. She was friendly, great service, good communication. Explained there could be a wait on food as it’s busy, again, great communication. Food came, both meals were correct. The food was good, reasonably priced, could of been seasoned better, especially as there is no seasoning on the tables. But overall good, good portions too. But then…. Still eating, the server came over to ask if you wanted any more drinks, they we closing at 10, this was 9.10 by the way. We ordered another round. Then one plate was finished, we were nibbling the chips left on the other and the young gentleman working came over, took the plate, no words. We just looked at each other, laughed and said how random. The young gentlemen then came over with the bill, said we were welcome to stay while 10. Didn’t even get offered dessert menu. The music went off and that was that. What started off so well turned into what felt like we had been made to feel like we had over stayed our welcome.
