"Visited today for lunch and probably wouldn't rush back although I'm aware there's recently been a change in management so maybe a few teething troubles. Messaged via their Facebook page to book a table, no response. Never was a problem in the past. The pub was very cold with no heating at all so we had to keep our coats on. Several tables near us commented the same and all sat with coats on. The coffee machine was out of order so only instant available, which wasn't pleasant. We waited a long time for someone to come and take our food order, in the end I went and found someone. Two of us wanted the steak ale pie. Only then were we told it wasn't available. The chap said we should've been told when we were given the menus, well it was him that gave them to us! With that he said he'd give us a few minutes to choose something else and walked away. He didn't come back so I had to go and ask to place our order again. At no point did anyone ask if we had any food allergies, which I thought was a requirement these days? The food was really good, credit to the chef; it was well cooked, well presented, large portions and very tasty. We did notice that two other tables waited a very long time for their food and had to chase it up, so glad we ordered when we did. We would have stayed longer and had a dessert but it was so cold we couldn't relax and enjoy it. We were next to radiator and we did ask one of the waiters if it was possible to turn it on and he said he'd see what he could do, which was nothing as it remained stone cold! When our plates were taken we asked for the bill, but it didn't arrive. Eventually a young lady arrived with the card machine and asked us to pay, which we said we'd be delighted to do once we received our bill! When we left we walked past 3 different members of staff, all of whom had waited on our table at some point during our visit. Not one of them made an effort to say thank you or goodbye. There was no warm ambiance or friendly feeling in the pub, it felt cold (literally) and unwelcoming. I also felt that a couple of members of staff waiting on tables looked rather scruffy, none of them wore a logo'd t-shirt which I feel the staff should do as they're representing the pub or brewery. It was difficult to distinguish the staff from the customers!"

Great location pub, with some traditional English Morris dancing on show. Good fun for the kids to see, everyone friendly and welcoming. Will return for food

First class food, great service, friendly atmosphere. I really can't recommend this pub/restaurant highly enough. All our food was well cooked from fresh, high quality ingredients, served with a smile and for a very reasonable price.

4 of us turned up without booking on a Saturday evening and were able to have a table with no fuss. The menu wasn't packed with too many choices, but it was still varied. Our food arrived promptly, was piping hot and very generous portions. I would certainly be eating here again.

Welcome and attentive service. we ate the gammonsteak and trimmed and were too full to follow with dessert. the only light nigger was that the hot drinks would have been hotter. otherwise a very pleasant culinary experience; eating delicious, freshly cooked and piping hot. would come back.

Got called out by Harry the manager to a sewer leak in the pub. Staff members where handling sewage with no ppe and still serving food before changing clothes. If you are a contractor working for this company be carefull. When they need the service they will give confirmation that they will pay. Unfortunately they do not pay. Head office argues the invoice even though they have authorised it with the pub manager Harry.

A very bad experience for me l'm afraid although some onlookers might have found it very funny! I bought a pint of coke and spritzer, went outside to the picnic table by the road and put my glasses on the table. The table was so old its bracing struts no longer functioned so when l sat down on the seat it see-sawed tipping both full glasses down my front and trousers. I was soaked and just had to abandon the evening drink in the sunshine and go back home. Probably hilarious if you were watching. It must happen regularly to many people but maybe they don't get quite as wet as me. I was just too soaked to come back into the pub full of people and make a bad situation worse. PLEASE BUY A NEW PI...

Really poor experience. Terrible service from a young blonde bartender in a baseball cap who clearly doesn 't have a clue how to deal with his own mistakes. He was stressed by time constraints from a clock behind the bar that is running about 6 minutes fast. He decided to stop serving our party half way through taking our food order to get another tables order into the kitchen (the time was 2:20 with kitchen shutting at 2:30) which resulted in a dish being missed for us. When this was raised he accepted it was his bad but made no attempt to fix the issue. By this time (2:45) the kitchen had closed and he claimed he couldn 't do anything about it; Although as far as I 'm aware no manager was...
