Booked a Sunday lunch here, we both ordered the roast, unfortunately we were left disappointed, my chicken/bacon wasn’t roasted, (poached maybe), lamb shank was tough, and veg was bordering on the raw side, I like al dente but the green beans were raw. Gravy was lovely and they had the best desserts we’d had in ages. Very disappointing
We popped in here for and late afternoon drink with the kids as it has a really nice play area. Which is rare to find now for the kids nice garden plenty of car parking . Inside the pub was very rustic and the two girls behind the bar were very friendly. Didn't have food this time but will sure be back to try some out
We came here last Sunday around 2pm for a late lunch. Upon arrival I was a little worried as I didn't know if there would be any outside tables. I need not have worried. There was 6 of us and we got a large table in the marquee which was lovely. The food was ordered and came within a reasonable amount of time. The portions were huge and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff were all extremely polite and professional and I felt very comfortable at the pub. At first glance it may seem a little pricey, however once the food comes out you can clearly see that you do get extremely good value for your money. Not only were the meals delivered to the tables within a good time, they were all cooked to perfection and certainly very fresh. I would definitely recommend this pub and it's food.
There was nothing we could fault. Duck spring rolls & brie wedges were lovely. For mains the pie of the day was incredible, the mash was creamy & veg cooked to perfection. Had a biscoff cheesecake with vanilla icecream for desert, yummy! The drinks and food all came out in good time. The waiting staff were very friendly and informative. We sat in an area which I belive was an old stable? The ambiance was great. Thank you guys for a beautiful meal! Your chef is a credit to you.
Beautiful country pub. We had roasts and they are plenty big enough. The beef was a little tough and the lamb a little fatty but still a good roast. A nice selection of beer too
A really very nice pub with interesting, tasty food and friendly, prompt service. Beer is well served. Even has a decent car park and a large garden.
Still lovely at the moment, but a little disappointed that the old manager Becky is now taking over. I don't like the sound of her plans and I'd I'm honest have always found her embarrassingly over friendly with the male clientele which makes for an awkward experience. Otherwise helpful and attentive staff and great food.
Very cosy pub that’s perfect for a quiet rendezvous. Literally, no matter the time of year, this place is always quiet! If you’re not in the mood for a rowdier kind of venue, you’ll enjoy the atmosphere that this pub has to offer. The owners (Caroline and Simon) are the friendliest pub owners I’ve ever met; they’re always so welcoming, cheery, and have good banter. If it’s quiet enough, they’ll even come sit and have a drink with you.
