"This place had been recommended to me by a close friend she rates it highly. It is in a quaint village setting, in front of a huge green area. We went for Sunday lunch there was good choice of meals and roasts though no poultry roast option so we chose lamb and nut roast. The meal came quickly, the dining area of this country pub is very nice, although felt pads on the legs of the wooden chairs to avoid the constant screeching of chairs across a hard floor is just one suggestion to improve the ambiance. The food was very good staff were attentive. We didn't want the cauliflower cheese veggie accompanyment so we should have really gotten more of the other veggies as compensation, but thats a small quibble. More gravy came without hesitatation when requested. Food was hot and fresh, the nut roast was delicious and my partner's lamb was very nice. We waited for 30 moniutes before having dessert the menu is extensive so save some room and the desserts was very good, the brownie far outweighing the crumble, to be fair. They seem to specialise in homemade icecreams and various types of brownies so opt for these, I think... Desserts were well received. We moved into the pub area with our drinks an excellent glass of Rioja for £4... and read the Sunday papers there. The only downside was the constant door slamming of the staff tooing and froing to the kitchen which we asked to be adjusted but the young female waitressing staff just shrugged and said they couldn't do anything... That was the only real complaint something does need to be done about it as it ruins the atmosphere and is very irritating. A very nice place to eat and spend a Sunday afternoon."

"Strange place. Booked because it is like a nice place to go for a meal. Always a good sign when a restaurant has a bouncer at the door where you invite! Once we have gone into you, you will not get the mood of an upscale restaurant (which you will remember about the price of food, but rather like a nightclub. We went early and the place was pretty dead, not unexpected at 6:30 a week. The restaurant was extremely dark, so people use their phone burners to read the menu. The employees were smart and polite, but the mood was as if someone had placed some tables in the middle of a nightclub, not helped by bass heavy music that was too loud for this time of the evening. The food was good, not excellent. I asked about my lamb medium rarely and it came closer to well made, but then it was so dark I could not make sure enough of the color complain. Desserts were a mixed bag. Beautiful Tiramisu but the Pavalova was so hard that you could probably not eat it with the frozen stuff. The highlight was halfway through Dessert's music rose to ear piercing levels when a random fire performer appeared and started to go the restaurant, I'm sure she was very talented but seriously, Wwf? She made about 5 minutes to 7 people, the whole thing was unpleasant. At this point we couldn't wait to get out. I admit free, I am probably not the destination clients of the restaurant (I have some research and thought I should probably break the table with a look at some of the photos, but they charge £60 with less than 24 hours termination! Overall, this place is probably great for a night with drinks and dance and photos for IG, but for a nice, pleasant meal from all over the other place. A very muddy place."
