average meal , burger cold in the middle, chips had no flavour. Diet coke was a pale brown colour and tasted of nothing. A shame as it is a lovely hotel in a lovely village

Nice food, fast and pleasant service. There was a wedding at the venue but this didn’t disturb our meal at all. Chairs were good.

I think we picked the wrong day to go for a meal, unbeknown to us there was a wedding on when we arrived. The staff looked surprised when I said that we had a table booked, I had also had a confirmation the day before to asking if we would be attending, which I confirmed that we were. The dining room was empty when we went in, it seemed really strange to be there on our own - I was with my husband and my friend who was staying with us. The staff were running about all over the place, seeing to the wedding party in the room next door. When our server came to the table with the menus and to take our drinks order, he informed us we could have an hour's wait for our food, due to the wedding party, which we weren't too happy about. We carried on to order our food and requested a jug of water for the table. The water didn't arrive, so my friend went to find the server who had forgotten all about it. Our meal arrived within twenty minutes, so we were pleased for that, we all chose from the Sunday lunch menu. A tiny bowl of green veg arrived with a half full gravy boat, so we asked for extra of both and that was brought straight away. Overall the meal wasn't brilliant, it was luke warm and cold by the time we were finished. The beef was a little tough, the belly pork wasn't rendered down enough and was hard to eat and even with the extra gravy was dry. Once we'd got our meals we didn't see a member of staff again to see if everything was alright or to ask for the bill, so I went and stood at the till until someone arrived. Such a shame, as I'd highly recommended it to my friend and if I'd known what it was like, I'd have gone elsewhere. Very disappointed.
