"Went in for lunch Tuesday 14th June. Plenty of parking. We arrived at about 12.30 so wasn’t that busy. But it did seem to get quite a few other diners in quickly after that. We were allowed to choose our own table, plenty of options on where to sit. Once seated our drinks order was quickly taken and served. A pint of Estrella lager, £5.50, and a pint of Hobgoblin Gold, £4.15. We decided to go for the lunchtime menu. 2 course at £12.50 and the 3 course at £15.00. Bruschetta and Breaded garlic mushrooms to start. Ham, double egg and chips and Cajun Chicken for mains and one desert, Apple and Caramel Tart. Don’t be put off by the picture of the fried eggs. That’s how he likes them. Good sized portions, food good quality. No complaints other than the dirty glass I got the Hobgoblin in. Didn’t notice it until I was half way through the pint. Overall felt it was excellent value for money. Staff appeared very efficient and friendly. Based on this experience up to this point I would have recommended. Also would probably have used again especially as we were given a discount voucher for our next visit. However, after leaving and doing this review checked the bill and, by my calculation, we have been overcharged. It appears that no discount was given for having the three course set lunch unless I have missed something. Bit annoyed by this as we left a good tip of close on 20% for the young lady that served us. Didn’t notice when we were paying as we still thought it was relatively inexpensive. And had already left a review with Marstons before I noticed the discrepancy in the bill pointing out the efficiency of the staff who served us. One can only hope it was an error rather that done deliberately. Guess I will never know. However, it has left a rather bad impression hence the 3 star review. Ignoring the issue with the bill I would recommend. It’s good value for money. Even better if you get the correct discount. But it’s unlikely that I would now go back to this establishment. However, I would be willing to eat out again in Marstons other pubs. It’s just a shame how one thing can sour an otherwise good experience. After posting this review I was contacted by Marston's. I was advised that there was a discrepancy with the till system which had been logged with their retail systems office. I rang the establishment, left my details and was called back by Keith, the restaurant manager. After discussing this with him I said I would leave my review on but would add this paragraph and change my review to four stars. After all if one was to ignore the discrepancy on the bill the service was very good and the quality and quantity of the food was excellent value for money. If we visited again he promised it would be a five star experience. We will probably take him up on that offer."

"with my friend written on a september Saturday, in the middle of a short break in the cotswolds. very warm and friendly greeting from barman / renter and maid serve (berry we have no names! , especially from the pub-dog molly. nice to see a detached house still, with a few good hand pumps ales on (I had the lamb bitter together with a decent selection of gas cocks. decoration and feeling creates the seemingly popular 'shabby chic'/pseudo old world country style with mixed / interesting used furniture and right (for me! 'classical pub' feeling. I'm not a big fan of pubs to Gastro/Faux land to be more city/city and new (ish country types, but then I got on 'proper' rural/empty from nowhere to kneipen with mud on the floors, no heating and gents loos at least 3 fields away, so that the lamb good to move with the times and still keep me happy to go? it is a hard business and people, including bar and waiting staff, need to make a living. sae in superdog friendly multi-level gardens, and some people just there for a few drinks, so good to see a mix of drink and eater welcome. I had the 'cracked pork' burger, the super tasty pork was a crispy peking style, my partner a generous caesar salat with excellent sardels. all in, a crisp independent old pub in a beautiful village, give a warm and friendly welcome to the trade as well as local, catering for walkers and dogs in an attractively furnished pub served right beer and really good eating. if something could be improved, a few lighter, simple items like a traditional ploughman 's or a few sandwiches on the lunch menu I would surely go down a storm, especially for walker/cycists, but everything in big things long can be successful!"

"I really don 't like to make negative comments about place like this and I 'm quite understanding of the difficulties they can have, but this was a genuinely disappointing experience. The first thing that struck, was the food scraps left under the table, which doesn 't give a great impression regarding cleanliness. The table we were given had two heights, which created obvious issues regarding drink stability. The menu is quite varied, with a couple of vegan a some vegetarian options on offer. The prices appear a little on the expensive end of the scale, as it 's hardly Michelin standard. When we had finished, we were asked how the meal was, we mentioned that the children 's cheeseburgers had been quite peppery, especially for young children. I mentioned that I tried it myself and I found it to be too peppery to enjoy, the response was not particularly apologetic, from either of the staff members we told. I would guess that nothing we said will be taken into account and that pepper would continue to be over used. The indoor children 's 'play area , has 4 wall puzzles and 3 vending machines, in addition to plenty of litter, which had clearly been there for some time. The staff were polite, but clearly at a loss of what to do in the event of customer complaints. In summary, it was somewhere that offered vegan options, the service was fine, parking is easy, unfortunately however, it won 't be on my must go back list."
