    Nice and comfortable; food was good but small size i.e. poor amount in each plate . The service was terribly slow because of kitchen very slow pace . The service staff was nice but really naif, with poor experience , neither professional nor trained .

    Wonderful setting (view from garden is blissful), superb, friendly and efficient service, and excellent ambience in all areas of the pub (love that there are different sections with different vibes), plus first-rate roast and selection of real ales. Definitely recommend.

    wonderful thoughtful friendly helpful service. Lovely fresh food in just the right quantities. Pleasant ambiance except for two younger adjacent diners who seemed to think it necessary to yell at each other even though the surrounding eaters were quiet. I understand the managers can't stop this, but if this refers to you please be aware that you are not the only people in the place! thank you Lytton for a lovely lunch.

    Lovely country pub to go to and have a first class meal. Rear garden overlooks some stunning scenery. The conservatory where I had my meal was clean, spacious and airy. I did go at lunchtime, so it was very quiet...how I like it. Service was excellent and all staff I had dealings with were friendly and accommodating. The food was to an excellent standard. I had the lamb burger which was delicious. I would highly recommend visiting this country pub. Big thumbs up from me.

    Probably our favourite Anglian Country Inn of the many we have frequented. Lovely pub in a great location with great choice of beer and consistently good food and service.
