"I made a reservation for Sunday lunch at 12:30 with my 80-year-old mother, who uses a walking stick, and my small children. The pub emailed me asking if we could arrive at 12:15 as they have a small kitchen. I agreed and rearranged our plans to accommodate them. However, when we arrived, we were initially seated by a waitress but then asked to move by the manager who claimed there was no booking under our name. I explained about the email asking us to come early, but towards the end of our meal, we were informed that there was only a 2-hour booking limit. Despite finishing our meal by 2:15, the manager insisted we move to make space for the next booking. When I mentioned that we were waiting for my 5-year-old to return from the bathroom, the manager became rude and shouted at us to move immediately. The staff also became surly and disrespectful, leaning across us to clean the table. Despite the unpleasant experience, we still paid the £80 bill. The manager's behavior was incredibly obnoxious, and to top it off, the lamb was tough. Overall, it was a horrible experience at this restaurant."

Lovely pub… as soon as we walked in the staff were super friendly and helpful. We decided to have lunch, it was delicious. Will definitely be returning.

A Lovely efficient waitress could not make up for the food some of which was served warm. Looking forward to lunch after reading the restaurants own promotion, a letdown.

Very poor food, overpriced, do not eat here. Very clever of the chef to produce chips that are burnt on the outside yet rock hard inside. There was more oil in the cod than cod. I tried to feed a bit of the beef burger to a dog that was allowed to wander over to my table. The dog wouldn’t eat it.

Passing through once more this-evening due to weather changed route. And as always a great reception. This place has always been welcoming and friendly. Tonight, I thoroughly enjoyed some bar-room banter which was first class and life being a bit of hardwork in different areas at the moment bought a smile to my face and really made me day.

A very disappointing experience for Father’s Day and Sunday lunch. Service was unfriendly to start with. There was then no veggie option for the Sunday roast other than having potato’s and vegetables, it’s 2024! We were then charged the price of a full roast even though the most expensive part of the meal we didn’t order…. Not a place I would recommend at all, the atmosphere seemed very flat and service was very amateur.

This local pub has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. They serve great classic pub food, focusing on quality rather than trying to be fancy. We started with a delicious prawn cocktail, followed by a roast beef baguette and chips. The fish and chips were exceptional, with a light batter and fresh fish. Everything was tasty and beautifully presented. The bar offers a good selection of drinks and the staff are charming and efficient.

We took my mother out for her birthday and the food was average. The two steaks were decent, but the chips seemed frozen and had a strange texture. The mussels were overcooked and chewy, with a flavorless sauce. When we mentioned our concerns, we only received a brief apology. The starter of crab and prawn mix on toast turned out to be crab sticks shredded, which we felt was overpriced at £8.50. It's disappointing as the restaurant is in a nice village pub, but we will not be coming back. View menu

Visited this fabulous pub on the way back from Sheffield Park Gardens, there was four of us (two couples) we had Scampi, stuffed field mushrooms with goats cheese, chicken pesto and lemon dressed salad and sauté potatoes and breaded Brie. We could not fault the food at all, was beautifully cooked, tasted amazing and at a really good price. The staff members were lovely too, wish I had taken their names, we sat outside but did use the toilets which were very clean and tidy. We will definitely go back again in the very near future as there’s so much more on the menu I need to try! If you’re looking for a proper English country pub with gorgeous food and lovely staff you won’t go wrong if you v...

We sat down in a restaurant area with 2 other people and our server was pleasant and friendly. She allowed us 10 minutes to look at the menu and then took our order. A party of 5 or 6 came in after us as well as some people who wanted to eat in the bar. Our main came after about 15 minutes and we were impressed at the fact we didn’t have to wait long despite the amount of customers that had arrived. The food was lovely, we both had Liver and Bacon, and at that point we considered we had picked well. Our plates took a while to clear, which was to be expected, but this is where it all fell down. We never saw our server again, much less be asked if we would like dessert. We tried to catch her e...
