   Popped in for lunch as we were passing through and boy are we glad we did. The service and food were fantastic and ended up being the highlight of our day. There was a great selection of pub favourites with a few Gastro options on the menu for good measure; everything tasted fresh and prepared there and then. Have stuck a pin in it so we remember to pop back whenever we are next passing!

   A fantastic hidden gem of a local pub! For starters, we had the rarebit and crispy squid — both generous and absolutely delicious. There was a nice, relaxed pace between courses, and for mains we enjoyed the prawn & chorizo spaghetti and the fish cakes — both were faultless. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, even when things got busy. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

   Just had an incredible meal that ticked all the boxes! The 10oz Sirloin Steak was perfect, and the Spaghetti Giardino had amazing taste and presentation. The team were super friendly, recommending dishes and checking in on us without being intrusive. Can't wait to come back for more of this great value for money experience! Highly recommend it!

   Came in for lunch on Saturday afternoon. Very nice barman greeted us, we sat outside so ordered at the bar. Delicious chicken karaage from the specials menu, sirloin steak also very nice. Quite a few wasps in the garden, apparently there's a nest in the church roof over the road but they had traps up. Perhaps worth investing in some fly fans for the tables just to keep them away from food and drinks. Very nice country pub.

   This was an amazing pub/restaurant /hotel that definitely gets 5 stars from me. The hotel rooms above the pub are old world oak beams and quirky with a cozy vibe. The food in the restaurant was top notch. I had the boneless spicy chicken and the pictures say more than I ever could. Very tasty and fantastic quality. The green salad and cherry tomatoes were awesome (I don't usually finish a side salad!!)

   Met here today for my dad's 90th birthday and want disappointed. Really lovely stylish pub with a really nice, unpretentious menu. I had chicken livers too start then a burger cooked with bone marrow, which made it super tasty. Definitely recommended

   Met with family for much needed get together. Gorgeous pub, attentive service and amazing food. Crab pate and gin trifle were my favourite. Although some items missing off menu they had replaced with amazing alternatives. Everything cooked to perfection. We shall be back. The pheasant wallpaper is worth seeing too. Loved this venue

   Okay 3 stars is kind of a relative score. I had expectations of the Pointer because it has (had) a great reputation. But we had a very run of the mill experience there. The place was chilly and the staff kept leaving the door open... Food was pretty standard, menu choice had nothing exciting to offer. Couldn't really fault it, but it wasn't anything special.

   Nice pub in beautiful village location. Had evening meal and breakfast in pub. Felt the food was high quality (if a little cold) but with prices to match - you might argue pricey. Depending on what you order can easily be looking at north of £50-60 for a couple adding just one drink each. Most mains £20+. In the morning, Breakfast muffin (no butter, one rasher of bacon and one egg) will set you back £6.50. Meat was good and from the adjoining high quality butcher (seemingly part of same business). Stayed overnight too - room ok, adequately clean, spacious but with "bang your head" low beams if over 6 foot. Quiet overnight but a little noisy with village traffic in morning. Quieter than a town or city though. Had a couple of issues with our room, but resolved relatively quickly. Room price was good (though we shopped around for this pub on various booking sites so achieved a competitive deal). Felt that service could have been slightly "smilier" throughout. I wouldn't hesitate staying again. Star rating reflects my overall experience/perceived value.

   Wonderful welcoming pub. It was an unplanned visit as we were unaware of the area. We had a light lunch of celery soup with sourdough bread. The soup was delicious & when you ate the bread the zing on your tongue was delightful. The Sunday roasts looked wonderful - no wonder they were fully booked for lunch. Just grateful they could fit us in.
