"We arrived at our place of stay roughly 2 miles from this here. I had the pork belly and the better half had the steak and ale pie. Let's start with the pork belly, a great piece or pork came out on the plate and initially I was impressed, visually it looked absolutely top notch, however the potatoes that accompanied the dish were at some point had been previously frozen as they were grainy and very hard undercooked, the cabbage I'm sure was shown the pan and then placed on the plate, the pork belly and what should have been the star of the show was extremely underwhelming, no crackling and taste was virtually zero unfortunately. Now for the steak and ale pie, clearly most of the meal was microwaved and the center of the potatoes (mash potatoes) were hotter than the sun and the outside was warm at best and also grainy. Now for the pie it was evident that the top was the only bit that saw the inside of an oven, the filling was so salty that we actually left it as we didn't think there was enough water around to quench our thirst on completion of the meal. The rooms I actually cannot comment on as we didn't stay here we just ate food. The service was good and the waitress was friendly. It's a nice quaint pub and nice people but the food I would say is very very over priced and almost certainly microwaved."

I can't comment on the accommodations since I only dined here, but I must say that the food was of excellent quality. I had a game pie followed by sticky toffee pudding. The pie was filled with a wonderful selection of game and was well-seasoned; the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that some of the meat was a bit dry, which can happen if game is slightly overcooked. The sticky toffee pudding was fantastic and perfectly suited for a cozy autumn meal. The atmosphere and decor were also incredibly inviting.

As we walked up the lane toward the entrance, the pub looked absolutely stunning, especially since our group of four was there for a pre-Christmas meal. Upon entering, we were welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with oak beams and tasteful decorations. The bar was to our left, and directly across from it was an open fire, creating a cozy ambiance. We were promptly greeted at the bar, our reservation was confirmed, and our drinks were served. The food and service were exceptional. I highly recommend a visit to The Saxon Inn!
