"Excellent place to break up a long journey. Staff welcoming and helpful. The rooms we were given was generous and comfortable, we both slept very well. Dinner was ok. My other half didn 't fancy anything on the menu so went for a safe bet of scampi and chips which were exactly as they should be. I had rump steak cooked rare and it was perfect. I chose the pepper sauce which arrived cold so had to be sent back to be heated and the chips, truffle ones recommended by our waitress, arrived plain and also had to be re-ordered. These two items seemed to take ages to rectify by which time my steak and mushroom were cold and my husband had eaten his. To add to the disappointment I thought the truffle chips although delightfully crisp, hot and molten inside I found most unpleasant. That I didn 't like them is purely subjective and absolutely no reflection on the cooking. We skipped puds. The service was lovely and the whole place has a great ambience. Breakfast was filling and again service was brilliant. A good place to stay... Rooms: Very comfortable bed. Plenty of room. Interlined curtains and chilled water. The bathroom could have done with a thorough clean, specially around the taps and the toilet needed a jolly good scrub, if it 's not practical to use a heavy weight cleaner a large bottle of malt vinegar for 12 hours and then a good clean would certainly improve the cleanliness. Safety: All thought through although there are lots of small steps you 'd expect in a building this age so those not so good on their pins need to take extra care. All are clearly marked 'mind the step(s) ' and are marked with boldish white lines on the carpet. All the corridors are well lit."

"Booked a table dispite the pub being fairly empty at before 5 we ordered and were warned it would be 45mins for food, no updates where given chased at the hour, told it would be 5 more minutes, 1 hour 25 minute food arrived. Food was nice avoided puddings. Got home to find I’d still been charged a 12.5% service charge. Service was poor with almost to many bar staff on and hanging around near the bar but not behind it. Unfortunately this the second time it’s been very slow, last time put it down to it being a works function and a large group. Lovely location, good food but poor service."

"As we're allowed to socialise again outdoors and beer gardens are open we decided to take the plunge and meet friends for lunch in this village pub. We know the pub from their midweek quiz nights (pre-pandemic) but had never frequented their outdoor facilities before....The garden is large, peaceful and attractive and gets loads of sunshine. seating is a mix of tables chairs and picnic benches and there are a couple of gazebo areas for shade. There is a dedicated side entrance and first stop is a table for signing in and collecting menus. Tables are well spaced out around the garden. There is a rear window to the bar which is perfect for placing orders and your drinks and food are brought out to the table. All in all we were very pleased with the social distancing and covid secure measures. the menu is quite varied with sandwiches, pub standards, pizzas etc. all really well prepared and reasonably priced. Choice of draught ales, a hoppy bitter or a darker more malty option."

""We had a great time having end-of-work drinks before Christmas at this restaurant. The food was excellent, with a good selection of vegetarian options and a great variety of drinks. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was top-notch. We will definitely be coming back.""
