"We went to this pub for an evening meal. The TV was on and competing for attention with the multiple speakers which were blaring out disco music, even in the loos.The staff were friendly and turned off the speaker right above our table when we said we could not hear each other talking. I think this might be a nice pub if you are part of the local youth and just above legal drinking age but it is not a good place to eat dinner. The food was poor to low quality and all seemed frozen and tasteless. I had prawns for a starter. 5 tasteless frozen prawns in a tasteless batter for over £7 very disappointing. Why don't you get some fresh prawns and make some batter rather than serving the cheapest frozen prawns and then the price might be justifiable. Main courses were not very interesting, burger, pub pizza, etc. I went for the mixed grill. Sadly that was another disappointment. It was basically what you would get at a greasy spoon cafe but with an £18 price tag. Two cheap frozen sausages, two rashers of bacon, a small spoon full of watery mushrooms, a cheap tomato, some frozen chips, a fried egg, a thin slice of black pudding and half of very tough and gristle filled steak. Every mouthful of the steak had tough sinew woven through it and needed spitting out as it was impossible to chew. The plastic bottle of Happy Shoppers ketchup with the £1 price label was an indication of their quality concerns. In summery, this is a local lads pub and probably fine for a pint but do not waste your time or money coming here for food. If they spent a fraction more on the ingredients or tried getting some fresh vegetables and doing some proper cooking with a little more effort on preparation they might get more people eating here, We were the only people eating on a Friday evening. £80 bill for three of us which included 1 pint of bitter and two halves of larger, 3 starters and 3 main courses. That was it. We didn't have deserts as they had already proved they were not capable of preparing food. There are 2 Indian restraints, an Italian, a kebab shop, another pub across the road, a brasserie, a pancake place and a Chinese take away are all within two minutes walk and are all worth walking to rather that eating here. There is also an excellent Thai restaurant in Aspley Guise called the Blue Orchid which is the next village about a mile or two away. Sorry Fir Tree pub, we won't be back. I will give 2 stars as the staff were friendly other wise it would have been 1 star only. . ."

This charming pub is located in a fantastic spot. They offer a wide selection of draft beers and their homemade sausage rolls are absolutely delicious. The owner, Emilie, and her team are incredibly friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place!

We chose the fir tree inn as there was a lot of choice looking at menus online. The staff were lovely and friendly Anything we wanted wasn’t a problem. A very spacious area to chat. We wasn’t rushed at all to order, to finish our food or to leaveA generally lovely place with friendly faces

Popped in for breakfast with some colleagues after a VERY cold nights camping. Very good selection on the breakfast menu, service was good, generous portions and tasty food. Have breakfasted here before and will certainly return.Few parking spaces on site, but a fairly large cheap carpark just across the road (and you can squeeze a minibus in! View menu

Very good, straight forward pub food in a traditional local pub environment. Welcoming staff, and reasonable speed of service. What’s not to like good burger and fishcakes at fair price in convivial atmosphere.. easy walk for us so we’ll be back again. More guest ales might not be feasible with customer cross section but a lovely place nonetheless. Cheers!

My family and friends came for dinner and drinks and have nothing to complain about , from the food and the service to the atmosphere and drink selection, everything was perfect. Dog friendly pub for our 4 dogs which is an added bonus. The staff and the drinkers in the pub make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive till you leave. Thank you Fir tree and the staff. Will definitely be recommending to everyone !!
