"Pleasant enough waitress though she ‘forgot’ to take our order! Once we had bought that to her attention (after a wait of at least she duly apologised, took our order popped it through to the kitchen. Whilst we were waiting another table sent...back their food which was redelivered mins later. Still no sign of our food. Kitchen staff seemed busy popping in out of the bar/restaurant (popping lights on; it was lunchtime…bizarre)! The table whose food was redelivered left (without paying)….a subtle sign that we should perhaps have done the same but we’d already ordered, we were hungry, miles from home with no knowledge of any other eateries nearby we continued waiting patiently. At this point there were three tables occupied; one people) had finished their meals before we arrived some earlier ordered desserts, the other people) had just finished eating. They arrived after us but ordered before (as mentioned earlier we were overlooked when it came to ordering). After a wait of in excess of we were told by the waitress that the kitchen had ‘lost’ our order (and also the dessert order of the neighbouring table) but our food was ‘on its way’. Obviously we told them not to bother as did the other table. How this can happen when there were just two tables occupied when we arrived (total customers) beggars belief! Hideously poor service from the kitchen to the waitress…..don’t bother; do yourself a favour drive right on by!"

Bar staff rude, including the manager. Obviously can't cope during busy periods. The place was a mess and no clean tables available. Unhelpful manager with a bad attitude.

Ploughman’s lunch should be easy to put together and a pleasure except when the cheddar cheese is MOULDY and the crusty bun is a lump of partly warmed up dough and is inedible Very poor management. Should be able to do better

Awful service, our custom clearly wasn't welcome. We won't be returning. A sunny Saturday afternoon visit, but there were clouds hanging over the landlady. We couldn't have the food we wanted, everything was too much bother! The waiting staff weren't to blame and were dutiful.

Went here for dinner with the family. The team were very accommodating, friendly and very good service. The food was great. I had the steak from the specials board- it’s was probably the nicest steak I have had in a long time. Cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend and looking forward to returning. View menu

My husband, my two children and I recently visited this pub. It was quite quiet, we ordered drinks while we decided what food to order. We ordered food, which then took at least 45 minutes to arrive, leaving my children very agitated. The food was okay, not the usual mouth-watering quality of pub food that we have had before in their other pubs.

of us ate here on a Saturday evening. We had good meals for under a tenner each, which is rare these days. The food wasn't the pretentious gastro-overpriced fayre that a lot of places seem to aspire to now. Beer was good, surroundings...very pleasant. I believe there is a new Landlord here now and this place deserves some success. Much better than a meal I had here years ago. Give it a whirl!!

Having eaten here before, we arrived early for lunch before it got too crowded! The service is always good and the staff is very nice and welcoming. I ordered the warm bacon and chorizo salad with balsamic dressing, it was absolutely wonderful. My husband opted for the 'ham and eggs' with delicious fries. We didn't have room for desserts, but on previous visits the ice cream in tuille baskets was declared to be a delight. There was an American family sitting by the wood-burning fire who seemed delighted to have found an authentic English pub serving a meal. The atmosphere is lovely, the beers are great and worth a visit. View menu

We visited for lunch having reserved a table. The pub is currently decorated with many awards for the quality of the food and beer on display near the bar. Four of us dined and had the cauliflower, broccoli bake with hand-cut chips. The cheese had a nice strong flavor and the chips were cooked perfectly. Others had the trio of pies, each of which was very tasty. The final member of our group had the ham and chips which, like all the meals, was very flavorful and a generous portion. We skipped starters to save room for dessert. Again, everything was well-presented, fresh, and enjoyable. Two rounds of drinks and coffees came to a total of £80.
