Excellent food with good menu and service. friendly staff. Recommended

Staff were very nice an place was good but food was average and overpriced

Welcoming staff. Good food. Great atmosphere. Look forward to our next visit.

Excellent service and food. Good location for the Motor Museum.

Food brilliant, great menu; desert took a little while, but was lovely

Amazing service, beautiful & cosy place, gorgeous food! Highly recommend!

Friendly staff and nice range on menu. Also very convenient for our journey stop.

Brilliant service, the owners and staff really make it! As well as Harper the bird!

A lovely pub, very welcoming, warm and comfortable. Maisie, my little Cockapoo was made very welcome which was so nice. The food was delicious. The only tiny criticism was the noise the children made around the bird’s cage. Their parents were well away so couldn’t hear the screeching. It all died down when their food arrived so not too awful. I would not hesitate to recommend lunch here.

What a great place, food excellent. We all really enjoyed it.

Good food and good service. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Visiting the Motor Museum, so out of our area but a most happy choice of venue by looking online. We were thoroughly delighted by the whole experience and now looking for a reason to return!

Lovely Sunday lunch, good size portion, good service,will visit again

Staff very friendly and accommodating. We had a Sunday roast, excellent meal.

Surroundings food service were all most enjoyable We will return!

Food and service was excellent Will hopefully visit again soon

Great traditional pub serving good food. Nachos amazing and Chip Shop Board too

Delicious meal with attentive staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday roast.

Very friendly staff and good service by all the staff. Great village pub with excellent food and menu choice. recommended

Two friends meeting for a pub lunch. We enjoyed our meals but our table was located very close to the main entrance door. Every time somebody went in or out, it created an uncomfortable cold draught for the person sitting closest to the door. Perhaps the tables could be rearranged in such a way as to avoid this.

Great food, staff very welcoming. We have eaten here several times and they never fail to produce. We highly recommend

Very good food, presented very well. Staff very pleasant and welcoming.

Fab food. Really reasonably priced and a great menu. Empty plates all round!! Recommended.

Great food. Lovely clean country pub. Friendly staff but seemed very busy now that they've started serving breakfasts too.

Delicious chilli con carne and excellent ale! I shall return.

Very good village pub serving excellent food from a varied menu. friendly staff and excellent service. recommended

Great food, Great Service and Great Atmosphere, The striploin of beef was fantastic 😀

Amazing and delicious meal, in a beautiful setting and great service

Where we were seated was lovely and the new winter menu had wonderful choices for vegetarians too. The food was amazing.

Lovely pub, always great food, lovely friendly and helpful staff and a great atmosphere, love the Malt Shovel

The staff are lovely and helpful. The food is delicious. Lovely looking pub too. The only disappointment was we have visited twice this month and both times there was certain meal choices unavailable on the menu and this time some beer was unavailable too. I could understand it if we were eating late but both times we had booked for 7pm.

The food was excellent, staff extremely friendly and polite. We will be back soon 🙂

Great pub with very good menu choice. Excellent Sunday dinner with all the trimmings. Friendly staff and great service. Recommended

Great place. Never been before but will definitely go back! Really good atmosphere, happy, professional staff. Very good food!

Warm and friendly welcome. Great knowledge of menu. Very accommodating when asking for changes to the advertised menu to suit personal choices. And the food was lovely.

Nice cosy pub with a dedicated restaurant area. Staff friendly and good food

Very welcoming, kind and helpful as motorway closure meant rearranging the time of our booking.. Great service, very pleasant staff. Good food and value.

Absolutely fantastic food and amazing service would really recommend it.

Great quality food. Friendly and efficient service. Very enjoyable meal

We were here for a 70th birthday celebration and the service was outstanding. Not only efficient but friendly and great with our 4 year old grandaughter. All of the food was wonderful and my son in law highly recommends the burgers! 🍔 We will be back without a doubt.

As always, this gem of a place was warm, friendly, and very accommodating. Having booked a table for 2, there was no difficulty in increasing our numbers to 4. Being my wife's birthday, the staff happily hid her surprise Birthday Cake that I'd delivered earlier in the day. Then, after we'd finished our main courses, the waiter and waitress brought out the cake with a chorus of 'Happy Birthday'. It didn't matter to them that we subsequently couldn't manage a dessert. Our meals were delicious. Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. As you can probably tell, I highly recommend a visit to this wonderful hostelry.

This was a lovely place to spend an afternoon with family, food was great and the staff were really friendly. Nice choice on the menu, better than the usual pub food. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

Some of the best customer service I’ve encountered in a long time. Nothing was too much trouble especially for the more elderly amongst us. Food was extremely good as well.

Excellent service Excellent food We will definitely be coming back

Great welcome and lovely food! We like it very much.

Second visit to this establishment for a gathering of friends and were treated to excellent food served by friendly staff. All six of us were well pleased and will be back again.

Disappointing 40 minute wait for food. Average food, poor service. Waitress was in training but had no idea how to interact with customers, brought our drinks to the table. (Leaving her finger prints on the top trim of the glass) While experience - very disappointing!

Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff and lovely food. We will be back

2nd time. Here great food great service thank you for the great experience 💖
