"We visited yesterday for a Mother’s Day lunch, we were so looking forward to it but unfortunately left extremely disappointed. Cannot complain about the food because it was very yummy but the actual running of the pub and the service was abysmal. I understand it was a busy Sunday but it seemed that not one member of staff knew what they were doing, we had to wait quite a while to speak to someone to find our table, our drinks were all lukewarm (no ice), we waited ages for someone to help us get highchairs and also for someone to take our order. It also felt as if we were crammed into a tiny room which was an extension of the pub with lots of other families, so felt like there was no room to move around. Unfortunately it also felt like some of the main members of staff at the front of the house were in an awful mood and seemed that they would rather be elsewhere. Their attitude and service wasn’t the best, and to be honest I don’t think we will ever return."

Would give more, but have only been a couple of times. Really good atmosphere and service. Lovely open fire in a traditional old building.

This restaurant is a charming spot to grab some drinks, although I haven't had the chance to try the food yet. The service is very friendly.

The meal at this restaurant was extremely disappointing, with low-quality processed food that was over fried and swimming in grease. I will not be returning there in the near future.

The food was delicious and the prices were fair. However, the restaurant was very busy on Mother's Day and we had to wait a long time for our meals, despite making a reservation and arriving early.

Who in their right minds turns a village pub into American style burgers, ribs and chicken wings restaurant. The on line menue listed greendale sausages, steaks etc, what a disappointment. We will never return.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here for mother's day. The food was delicious, well presented and the amount of veg we were given in bowls on the table was more than enough. Quite honestly would expect to pay more for a roast like that! Some confusion on arrival as to where our booked table was, but we understood it was quite busy so confusions do happen! Felt we had a bit of a wait to receive food, but as I said, was clearly busy so that was understandable. Only criticisms were I felt they were understaffed for a very busy day, so bar service etc took a little bit longer than expected. And felt like the sauce pots we were offered to go along with our meals (cranberry, mint sauce etc) could hav...
