"My family and I came here for a gathering and birthday celebration. We were seated in the bar area in a slightly strange arrangement, with one person at the end of a separate bench. The waiter/owner offered to move us, but we were fine where we were. We had booked in advance and were surprised by the seating arrangement. We returned after a previous visit in the summer where we sat in a cozy side room, which I recommend for small groups. The pub overlooks a beautiful churchyard and has a rustic interior with scythes on the wall and examples of wattle and daub. It was warm and comfortable, despite being very quiet on a Saturday lunch. The service was a bit slow, taking 2 hours for 2 courses. The food, however, was excellent - well-cooked, well-presented, and hot. There was a good variety of dishes, including traditional burgers, spiced dishes, and vegetarian options. I had the roast duck, while others in my party had burgers, sausages, and ribs, and everyone enjoyed their meal. The desserts were just as good, with a good selection to choose from. The servers were polite and attentive. Overall, it was a very good experience, though I'm not sure how the service would be during busy times."
