"Firstly the food was really lovely and tasty. The black pudding and the Brie starters were delicious. The steak pie was amazing and they were happy to give extra gravy we requested. The crime brûlée and sticky toffee pudding was also delicious. However have given it only 3 stars due to the service. We were seated quickly and drink order and food order taken quickly. We waited about 15 minutes for the starters which was fine, but the main meals did not arrive until 2045 which was over an hour after we finished the starters. We did mention the food was lovely but the wait for service was too long to be told very defensively “well, we are very busy and the chef cooks everything from scratch”. There were only four tables including us there and no table had more than 6 people, so not that busy. Have been to other pubs where everything is cooked from scratch and did not wait like this. It is a shame because the food was good and all they need to do is improve the service to get 5 stars."

The overall experience was fantastic, there was a warm welcome and we were swiftly shown to a table in the dining area. The food was excellent, the steak and kidney pie was the best! Will definitely return when in the area.

Shockingly bad service....turned up at 5pm on a Sunday to be told they weren't taking orders of food until a table of 14 arrived at 5.30 and they had all ordered their food. Don't bother coming here incase they happen to have another larger booking to prioritise over the relatively low paying smaller tables. View menu

4 adults 2 children ate for dinner. We’d booked as we popped in earlier to look at the menu. This was a good move as the were turning walk ins away. One lady serving and taking orders,one guy doing bar and drinks. Took drinks order after 10 mins and food after 20 mins.30 mins for food to come ie not the quickest service but food was worth waiting for. Pie brilliant, huge gammon, good veggie burger. Kids food was good and freshly prepared. Overall a great meal, service a bit slow but the 2 staff didn’t stop . Probably could do with more staff but that’s a catch 22 in this day and age. I’d recommend this place , but make sure you book.

Visited over Easter weekend and were left wishing we hadn’t bothered. Lacking in customer service. Sat down and left 15 minutes with a promise of a drink order which did not happen. Food order eventually taken 20 minutes after being seated. Starter took 30 minutes to appear; a single dish to share shouldn’t take so long. Cumberland sausage decent and enjoyable, sadly the same was not true for the steak pie which was inedible. Both pastry and meat were hard and dry as though it had been held at temperature for too long. The waitress (possibly Ellie or Elle) was poor and would sooner sit and talk to her friends about how her partner sleeps on the sofa, than clear a table or offer drinks. When...

"We had a disappointing experience during our stay. The bedroom was quite cold, and despite asking for the heating to be turned on, we had to sit in our coats. The bathroom was freezing each morning, and the dining room didn't offer much relief either. The heating was activated for just one hour, which meant the radiator was cold again when we returned to our room. Their cost-cutting measures significantly impacted our enjoyment. We raised our concerns multiple times, but there was no one available when we settled the bill. At £100 per night for bed and breakfast (totaling over £200 including dinner), it was frustrating to be so uncomfortable. Another guest mentioned they had complained about the heating during their previous visit, only to be told there was an ongoing issue. It seems they simply won’t turn on the heating. We won’t be returning, especially since it’s quite a drive to get into town. Regarding the room, we were assigned an attic room (Room 8). It had many steep stairs and low headroom in places. While the bathroom was nice, it was also freezing. The towel rail was pointless since it was stone cold, and my husband had to skip his morning shower due to the chill. We ended up moving to Room 7, which was smaller but slightly warmer despite having a cold bathroom. The bathroom door didn’t shut properly, and the lights were all or nothing. The next morning, we moved our belongings back to Room 8 since they finally decided to turn on the electric wall heater—which they could have done from the outset. It only took the chill off for a little while. On our last night, we experienced a brief boost of heat, but it only lasted an hour. When we returned after dinner, the room was already cool again. As for nearby activities, there’s a park across a busy road, but everything else requires driving to reach shops and restaurants. Safety-wise, the hotel faces a main road, and there are very few parking spaces available (around four); otherwise, you need to park on the main road. Walking to town is possible, but it takes about 15 to 20 minutes downhill. In terms of food and drinks, the breakfast was decent. When asked if we wanted toast, we received just one slice on the same plate as the cooked breakfast. After asking for more, we had to wait a while before we were given another slice. Dinner was acceptable but nothing to write home about; it felt overpriced compared to the excellent authentic Indian restaurant we found in town, which served great food at better prices and opened at 5 PM. Overall, I'd recommend bringing warm clothes for both the bedroom and dining area; we even saw another guest sitting in her coat the entire time."
