    Food was absolutely excellent. We have given a moderate score for service because we waited a long time for our food because there was a huge table in at the same time. The staff were working really hard, and were very nice, but it felt like there wasn’t enough capacity in the kitchen at the time. Very understandable. We really enjoyed our food when it did arrive, but we didn’t stay for puddings because we didn’t have time.

    A really lovely first visit to this beautiful, village pub. Parking was easy and the staff were informative, welcoming and attentive. The food offer was varied and it was nice to see some different options that don’t often make it to a pub menu, such as liver and bacon and calamari. All of the dishes we ordered were freshly cooked to order and tasted delicious. I chose the cheese and bacon burger which was homemade, packed with flavour and well presented. My party also opted for the fish pie, sausage and mash and Caesar salad with calamari, all of which were equally as delicious. We finished our meals with the lemon cheesecake and Eton mess - can highly recommend 😋 and coffees. The staff were friendly and attentive and overall we had a lovely visit. The only hiccup was the lack of an accessible toilet as one of our party was wheelchair bound. The toilets are really not suitable for anyone with severe mobility issues and the portable ramp is not sufficient to accommodate the steps down and then up to the toilet. No handles in the toilet either. We managed with two helping adults and a lot of heaving! The staff did all they could to help and it was no reflection on them or the quality of the food but worth bearing in mind if you have someone whos mobility is an issue.

    The food was delicious but service so slow (table booked for 6:30 and starters didn't arrive until after 7:30) that what was to be a treat was disappointing - shame 😕

    Enjoyed a lovely reunion with some old friends and everyone loved the food. This is an excellent place for a great meal and is an ideal place for exploring the local area before or after eating. The service was very good as was the choice of food. We would definitely return.

    A hidden gem, beautiful food and a fantastic experience today. What sets this establishment apart is the authentic delicious food combined with the caring friendly service. I took my friends from London on a birthday lunch - the venue was busy, my friend chose her pie of the day I took me usual fish pie. She loved the authenticity of the food, generous portions and good vibes - It’s real cooking combined with old fashioned pub god food… nothing negative to say - enjoy xx

    The food is not your usual pub grub, this is something quite special. An excellent menu cooked exquisitely. All set in a lovely old building with a great atmosphere. We were all really pleased with our lunch time time meal. Highly recommended.
