"Pretty much the same as the previous review. We had booked for 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and turned up to see that the place was in darkness and locked up… this is despite the opening hours were 12pm until 10pm. So we knocked the door in hope that we would be able to go to our table. A guy it seemed was locked in from the inside and asked us through the window to knock the residents door next door (it seems we had woke them up). Eventually after a brief wait someone came down and opened up. We took our seats at the table and proceeded to order our food and drinks. When ordering our food, we were then asked if we wanted to write on the menu what we wanted!! (We obviously said no) Any normal restaurant would have a notepad and take orders but this wasn’t a normal restaurant! He then took our orders of which he decided to write down on the menu. After waiting 1/2 hr some of the food came out and did not meet expectations. The chicken soup was spilled everywhere when it came to the table and if it wasn’t for the reactions of the customer then it would of been all over his clothes. The crispy fried wantons were meant to be filled with chicken and prawns (according to the menu) but only had flavourings. The waiter could not explain why due to a language barrier between him and the chef. Things got worse when he started swearing and at this point people were still waiting for food 15 minutes after the others came. We told him we were leaving and to forget it. It’s only a matter of time before this place is closed. They can’t run a bath let alone a restaurant!"

"On arrival, the pub looked cute and cosy open early for breakfast, decent reviews it seems a place to get out of the snow! After sitting down for a few minutes we ordered breakfast coffee, all seemed fine until we heard ‘local regulars’ having a xenophobic, conversation with the waitress about refugees. This conversation took place as the waitress was behind the bar and the couple sat across from her at their table, and with no music playing no atmosphere at all actually) and no one else in the pub it was hard to hear anything else! Myself my partner felt very awkward, angry and extremely uncomfortable it was just loud enough to hear and as the only other people in there we couldn’t decide if this was the norm in this place, or if this was just a few ‘bad apples’ but they obviously didn’t seem to care that we could openly hear their conversation discussing refugees as if they were item? which makes me think it’s the norm here) Extremely harmful, especially given the tragic history of this place a lynching had taken place only 3 years ago) the continuous shocking racism that comes from their local MP Philip Dune. And this isn’t a personal ‘woke’ agenda as the business owner tried to suggest when we complained, ‘leave my agenda at the door’ we were told in the only google review the venue have seemed to respond too, quite worrying they are not trying to reassure us we had misheard but instead were very defensive and took no accountability) this is just the truth of this town information you could easily find on google when reviewing where to visit, which made this whole experience even more uncomfortable. Even if they were having a completely innocent conversation, why do they feel the need to do this over the bar to the customers and not have their own personal conversation at the table which we did not have to overhear? Are the staff too lazy to walk around to the table? It most certainly was not busy so there was no excuse for this whole situation to take place. It was our first time in this town and the whole thing was just really uncomfortable. You’d think the town a local business especially, would be doing all they can to separate themselves from such things. It’s a shame the energy and atmosphere doesn’t match the beautiful surroundings. I’d recommend avoiding, awkward xenophobic conversation aside the Veggie breakfast was very bland and basic, sausages had no flavour other than the sauce I put on them and my partners poached eggs were undercooked soggy"

"Went in after a day of climbing at the local National Trust Park. Had the dog with us were searching for a local pub that welcomes dogs. We sat in a couple pubs but they didn’t serve food until 5-5:30 but this pub served food earlier which was great! The pub has a very welcoming owner good tunes on in the background. It had typical pub grub which looked nice but also a proper Greek menu which swung it for us as we tend to eat pretty healthily Greek food really suits this. Big portions, banging Gyros for main Baklava for dessert, both big a very nice. Great service provided with food with practically no waiting time! Couldn’t have asked for better :"

"Had a disgusting take away tonight. Ordered a chicken curry, but the meat (if that what it was) was a tasteless watery mush. Tried to cook it in a frying pan to see if it be any better, it wasn’t. Won’t be getting food from here again. Interestingly, they don’t seem to be on tripadvisor, I wonder why? Service: Take out Food: 1"

"This cosy country pub delivers exactly what you would expect. The atmosphere is inviting, with a mix of locals and diners enjoying a great selection of real ales and a lovely Shiraz. The standout feature, however, is the food. I tried the pork fillet and black pudding dish and it was absolutely delicious - one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The orange and almond cake was also a highlight. In addition, there is a nice variety of vegetarian dishes available, with at least three options to choose from - a refreshing change from the standard mushroom risotto. If you're in the area, this pub is a must-visit - 5 stars!"
