"Moved to area recently and thought we would try pub for a quick lunch whilst working from home not terribly impressed pub smells of old oil due to lack of extraction or filters not cleaned sat in garden with our dog and as there were only 4 people in garden (no sun shade on any tables) we let him off lead he’s a 14 year old Westie (so of course terrifying to others) he wandered over to the dog bowl and we were immediately told to put him back on lead by this time we were the only people in the garden everyone locally we have spoken to warned us off this pub and we wanted to give them benefit of the doubt, but with the lack of sparkling water (acted like this was a weird thing to ask for in 2023) and the food menu being circa 1982 we will not be returning nor will our dog this community pub has all the bones of a great pub, fab sized garden, centre of the village but it needs a shake up and a move to modern pub culture it could be amazing and the heart of this village but it’s far from it and it’s very disappointing."
