"I really want to say only good things about my experience as this place is local to Us it’s good to keep places in business…but sadly I can’t. We arrived for a 1pm booking found out that the restaurant wasn’t full … waited for 45 mins for our starter to arrive…so then 1.45… to eat everything by 2.30!…. everything then had to be pushed back… we then had to ask the taxi firm to collect Us later than planned well, later than we were told we had to vacate the table by! …so, in order to eat our paid for in advance Christmas meal INCL the service charge !…£25,, which I still find rude baffling!! we then missed the Kings Speech…. Just a tradition in our Family to do but …missed it. Oh, then I knew I still had the drinks to pay for which was ok… what was NOT ok was being charged an extra £38 for service charge on a bottle of water that , yes , was opened but not ‘serviced’ to Us ie poured…. And the champagne.. I didn’t pay the charge……. The food was ‘good’., although not worth over £200 for two people. I do realise that it is still a young team getting to grips with things I believe the kitchen team is about roughly around 6 7 months but no, disappointed with the whole scenario to be honest. I think what saddens me is that , that was my first Christmas meal that I haven’t cooked in over 40 years was enticed into it by my Family saying it would be lovely for me to be ‘waited’ on for a change!!… I really wouldn’t have cared what it looked /tasted like but it was the long wait inbetween courses we had then the service charge that made me feel ill…"

Fabulous country pub with amazing service. We spent 2 nights as a short break and were made to feel very welcome. Evening meal and breakfast were great. Room was very comfortable and clean. Would defined return.

We arrived for our booking late and were made to feel completely at ease by the very attentive staff. Dave, Immy, Sophie and Kasper worked hard to keep our large table well fed and watered. Food was excellent and ambiance great.

We came across this pub when we were looking for a venue to meet some relatives during Covid in the summer of 2020. It was a grim time, but the pub lifted our spirits, even though nobody ventured inside and we had to order using...

We tracked this place down after finding a clipping from a couple of years ago in the Sunday Times in my desk. Stayed over in the most fabulous room with four poster. Dinner and drinks were superb and staff all brilliant. Apologies for keeping David...

We held my Daughter’s baby shower here. The venue was beautiful with rustic charm. The function room was an ideal venue. We had the Sunday roast which was amazing quality and value. The customer service was exceptional. Staff were helpful attentive and friendly. Kasper ensured everything ran smoothly and his team went above and beyond. Thank you to the chef team Dave, Dana, Chloe and Sophie.
