"Returned to this pub this summer as my wife enjoyed the beer-battered fish last time around. We'd not received particularly good service on that day as the owner wasn't at all welcoming and seemed to be in a mood, but thought we'd give them another chance. Unfortunately, this experience was even worse. We were a group of four but we asked to be sat near the window which had been set up as a table for six as the latter was much brighter and less cramped. We were told that we couldn't move tables in case a a group of six arrived. This would not usually be a strange or irrational reason for rejection, however, the pub was practically empty (one other table, I believe) and the table of four that we were on could have been easily turned into a table for six if needed for another group. Unsurprisingly, no other customers arrived during the whole visit and quite why we were refused such a simple request was a mystery. During the meal, we were not asked once if the food was ok, and we were not asked if we would like to see the dessert menu either. The childrens' meals were really poor in terms of both quality and quantity, as well. Overall, a very disappointing visit. A more welcoming attitude from the owner and a bit of common sense would have gone a long way."

A favourite public house. Food is always excellent, not had a bad meal here. Paul always makes you feel welcome his wife Sam creates excellent meals. It is a shame that some deliberate bad reviews have recently given FALSE information about the quality of the food. KW.

My wife and I plus our two kids and the dog hadn't booked but were made very welcome. Excellent service, very friendly, the food was delicious!! Steak was perfectly cooked and so tasty. The beer and dessert was fantastic. Well done Paul and Sam you made a perfect end to our holiday. Thank you.

Never visited before, we were in Tiverton for our daughters hockey match and popped in on the off chance we could get lunch. The landlord was lovely, helpful and it was very quick service. Our daughter wasn’t keen on a pub lunch but once she tasted the food she absolutely loved it. We had Sunday roast and it was lovely. Would happily go again

Dropped in on the off chance of a table for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. The roast been and pork were delicious, the cauliflower cheese exceptional and other selection of veg, stuffing and extra gravy were great. Jam Roly Poly and Spotted Dick and Custard for pudding and we walked away, full and very contented. Would 100% recommend

We were booked to stay locally for the long Easter weekend and wanted to book somewhere for Easter Sunday lunch. Found this pub here on Tripadvisor and booked due to the great reviews. We certainly weren't disappointed! Friendly welcome, really good choice on the menu, very generous portions and delicious Sunday meal. Dessert menu choice was also amazing! Really lovely pub, would highly recommend!

Warm welcome and superb meal as always. Paul and Sam make a dream Team serving delicious and appetising meals with a well stocked bar to compliment. We have never been disappointed. Last year, we had a celebration meal where over 30 people were all served a Sunday Roast and dessert of the same exceptional standard. Such a shame that some have felt the need to intentionally damage the reputation of this delightful pub where so much effort is made to please their customers.

Very prompt service (we ordered ahead as a party of 9). Food was ready within 10 mins of arrival. Bit of a mixed review as much food was really good. Unfortunately the fish (cod) for and adult and child’s was like reconstituted fish and was an odd pinky colour. We should have mentioned this at the time but didn’t want to make a fuss. I told the manager at the end. My fault, not his. The guy serving us (manager I believe) was helpful and accommodating.as well as friendly. Delighted that our well behaved beagle was allowed to sit under the table. From the outside the pub is very rundown as is the beer garden. It needs some tlc.
