"Nice atmosphere, service and beer. Fish and chip lunch was disappointing. the Haddock was cooked in cool oil so it was soggy and had greasy batter. Fish portion was small and rather tasteless. Chips were also tasteless and cooked at too low a temperature. I asked for some bread and got a slice of Mothers Pride that came already covered in butter/spread. I don't have either on my bread normally, and expected a bread roll or something. No-one asked me if my meal was ok, otherwise I would have discussed this with them. As I say it seems like a nice pub, but I don't think they should have let my meal leave the kitchen."

The restaurant offers a great variety of sandwiches, paninis, and sharing boards for lunch, which is a refreshing change from the usual full dinners typically available during lunchtime.

Called in unexpected made to feel very welcome by the staff. A very cosy and informal atmosphere. Had light lunch which was very good. Would describe as a pub with loads of local history. Will call again. Can recommend a visit. View menu

Food seemed very good. On Tap drinks tasted watered down where later on I attained cronic acid indigestion likely from the cleaning fluid not flushed from the beer tap pipes. Really needs to focus on this to ensure continued customers.

A great pub. Always a lovely atmosphere, the interior design is nice cosy. The staff are also very friendly and I greatly appreciate their tolerance in permitting my friends and I to finish our drinks slightly beyond closing time... we didn't want to leave!

"The Green Man at Linsell is a charming pub located off the beaten path that almost meets expectations. The pub's decor is lovely and you'll receive a warm welcome from the attentive front-of-house team. It's a step up from your typical pub, with white tablecloths and napkins that elevate the Sunday lunch experience. Getting there may require navigating through narrow single-track roads with the help of a somewhat confusing satnav, but there is ample parking available once you arrive. The drink selection is standard pub fare, though the wine list appears reasonable. For our meal, we both opted for the beef Sunday roast. While everything was cooked well, the dishes lacked seasoning and punch to truly elevate the flavors. One dish that stood out was a broccoli cheese concoction that seemed odd and wasn't to our taste. For dessert, we tried the crumble and brownie bake. The crumble, advertised as apple and blackberry or blackcurrant, felt lacking in the black element, resulting in what appeared to be a purple apple crumble. Despite these drawbacks, we cleaned our plates and left feeling satisfied and ready for a post-meal walk with our dog. The bill came to £30 per person, drinks included, making it a reasonably priced Sunday lunch option. Overall, The Green Man at Linsell is worth a visit for a leisurely lunch in a pleasant setting."
