"Positives: The pub looks the part inside and out, and it 's in a picturesque setting. I went for lunch on a Saturday without booking and there was no problem getting a table. The prices are lower than at similar places. Negatives: The staff seemed inexperienced and did more blagging than was necessary. My friend ordered a lime soda and ended up with a glass of soda water with a slice of lime in it. In the same vein, the pizza we ordered arrived without one of its main toppings 'nduja), and when we questioned it the staff initially claimed that it was us who were mistaken. Ultimately and after some minutes in the kitchen they had to acknowledge that they actually hadn 't put any on, because they 'd run out. The chef put some more salami on in recompense but overall it was a bit of a strange experience. The garden is supposed to be a feature of this place but you 're not allowed to eat in it even when it 's very quiet). Summary: A visually charming locals-type pub let down by some cut corners"

A gorgeous pub in a small village. Friendly staff and the most beautiful beer garden. Wish I lived closer but well worth a visit if you're in the area.

The owners of this restaurant frequently make empty threats toward customers, but they do not follow through when confronted. These individuals are small-minded and not worth taking seriously. It might be amusing to visit and see them try to act tough, but overall not a recommended experience.

"My friend kindly decided to take me another friend along to this her local pub for Xmas lunch on the 12th of December which we were all looking forward too, as we have eaten there before. Unfortunately on entering the pub it seemed quite cold as there was no open fire lite when we asked they told us they had run out of kindling, so we kept out coats on for sometime until we all warmed up. Then when we kindly asked for the menu unfortunately they had none of these as apparently they had ran out of ink for there printer so we then had to look at there written board on the wall, which had fish chips added to it. We were then told by the waitress they had no chips lol but you can have potatoes, unbelievable for a pub to run out of chips. When our meals arrived it was quite disappointing for a Christmas dinner the Yorkshire pud was completely flat, but you did get vegetables served separately which were quite a good variety even though there wasn’t lots. We then went onto order our deserts Once again to add disappointment they didn’t have any crème brûlée so the choice was just Xmas pud with brandy butter or ice cream. So one of my friends could only have ice cream as she’s gluten free who always fancies that on a cold day, me my other friend had the Xmas pud that was served in a pie dish which was not very appealing or professional looking it was served with custard not the brandy butter like the menu said. We did complain as my friends Xmas pud was also lukewarm they did kindly apologise warm it up. Because we complained they did take some of our bill. But I don’t think we will be visiting again anytime soon."
