the food was excellent and our waitress was cheerful and efficient . lovely experience I am keen to do again. Good value for money. Pleasant surroundings
Service was excellent and the food was also excellent. It was our first time their and will return soon I'm sure , could not fault the pleasant and attentive staff.
Food eaten was 1st class. Several food choices were unavailable though, and Waitress knowledge required training eg We had to press hard just to have 'No pink' beef-burgers. Usual attention was limited. Surroundings good. Overall the excellent food eaten made it a 'very good' night.
Beautiful traditional pub, great friendly staff, open fires, great food, great service; serves good beer as well of course perfect, my kind of meal. Also a good sign that the locals drink and eat there.
Love the food love the place, take my wife here every year for our anniversary and other special occasions. staff always friendly and food is great
Good food and service - nice place but just a little rushed - not a criticism but just an observation - would certainly recommend and will be going again
Lovely pub but with restaurant food. Never had a bad meal yet. Must try chocolate truffles. Ambience/lighting in the rooms is my only criticism..very bright!
Friendly welcoming service with great food that looked good and tasted great. Cosy, comfortable atmosphere and we didn't feel rushed, which is always great. Will definitely go again and maybe try a lunch there too.
Great service and food was amazing. Ordered the Sunday lunch beef and my other half ordered the Steak. All cooked to perfection. Deserts were also delicious.
Starter was not great. Cold couscous with just fried squid. Mains and pudding were nice but didn't blow us away. I would have expected a higher quality with the high price tag. Service was good, staff very friendly although there was a mistake with the bill and we nearly charged £10 extra.
Very enjoyable meal. Waiter very friendly and efficient. We shall return and look forward to eating outside in their lovely garden again when it is warmer!
Tuesday lunch. Pub and staff were very welcoming. Menu choices were good, main course, specials board and light bites too, so something for everyone. I had duck breast with fondant potatoes, glazed parsnips and green beans. It was all cooked to perfection. Bakewell tart was delicious too. Will definitely be going again!
Went there for my birthday meal with my wife, We hadn't been there for a while but was pleasantly surprised to see that the new owners have kept the same kitchen team together, front of house were excellent, Friendly and attentive. The food was excellent as always and value for money, We will be going back
One of the best meals I can recall at a local pub! Excellent menu choices, food beautifully cooked and presented, friendly and efficient service in welcoming and comfortable surroundings. Be sure to book as always very popular.
Great village style pub with original character fittings and friendly staff. Good value food, varying from traditional pub food like fish/pie and chips to restaurant standard. Also popular with locals, open fires and free wifi. Overall, lovely atmosphere and great pub.
Lovely food and a broad choice. Good service even on a busy Saturday night by very friendly and welcoming staff - overall a very pleasant experience. Would recommend
As always lovely meal. Not quite top marks but only because lovely specials had sold out early . Only suggestion would be to vary the desserts a little but otherwise we sat as requested and staff were lovely!Wuslity of food always excellent. Will continue to frequently visit
Lovely pub and fabulous food this is my second visit the staff are attentive and very pleasant. Love the idea of individual dining rooms. I will be returning.
The Staff were very friendly. Our room very clean and quite comfortable. The drinks were surprisingly quite pricey but otherwise we had a lovely stay.
Lovely food and good service. We would definitely go there again. Couldn't fault anything. My partner had duck which I don't really like but I tried it and it melted in your mouth. Place is old and rustic with original doors and beams make it a nice setting and atmosphere.
Service was good food excellent nice and hot when arrived. Party of 8 all had different the only thing we would say felt that some of the desserts as only ice cream a little expensive for what they were
Lovely food and the staff really look after you. Highly recommend their Sunday lunches too. Best I have ever eaten. Slightly pricier than the average but good quality food.
Very friendly staff. Good service and great food. The chef really knows how to cook fish perfectly , lovely moist salmon. Lots of wine by the glass and half bottles of champagne if you want to push the boat out but not too much.
Lovely evening , good food , cozy country pub for a winters night , staff lovely, without being intrusive. Definitely return , could become a favourite haunt.
We found the staff very helpful, understood my not eating shellfish which would have been part of my chosen dish. We were given choice of rooms to eat in, the 'pink' room was great with window seat onto village. The food was delicious with the fish cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back.
Great food, lovely staff, amazing service! The restaurant was a bit dated in terms how of decor but you can tell everything is home made and fresh! We all loved it!
The food we had was really nice. The service was a little haphazard, a few dishes on the menu were not available even though we ate early. The desert menu looked really tempting but nearlly all were limited or not available.
Great country pub with beer garden Food was ok surroundings were better Both meals were over seasoned and over done if they can get food better will be perfect date pub
