"Wow! What a transformation! This is now a clean, friendly, spacious, community owned and run pub, albeit still a Palmers tied house. It has been completely but sympathetically refurbished and redecorated with more room created for customers by reducing the size of the bar and changing its shape. A doorway has also been closed off so access to the toilets is no longer via walking through the dining area. The beers seem to be well kept, so they should be able to regain a previous 'Cask Marque ' award achieved several years ago. The kitchen is currently being updated and full refurbished, so no food at the moment. I just hope that the food, when they start doing it, is good quality, honest, pub food and not the grey, tough, tasteless, and tepid offering that the previous landlord served."

We had an impromptu Friday night dinner at this cozy pub with festive Christmas decor. The burger and steak were good, the staff was friendly, and the service was excellent.

Vicky and Spike hosted a buffet for our group of 17 during our unexpected visit on a mystery tour. The meal was delicious and we felt incredibly welcomed. We highly recommend this lovely pub and will certainly be back. Thank you.

I had a wonderful experience at this charming village pub. The food was fabulous, the hosts were lovely, and the atmosphere was fantastic. It was great to see you, Clive and Kerry. I highly recommend trying the Fish and Chips. Overall, I would give this place a perfect rating of 5 for food, service, and atmosphere.

Head over to the White Lion and make sure to order either Clive's short ribs or beef cheeks! The food is expertly cooked and ideal for rainy fall days, especially when paired with a pint of Palmer's Tally Ho. The quality of the food at this establishment continues to impress, making it one of the top dining spots in the area.
