    We all ordered different sandwiches from the lunch menu and they were all absolutely delicious. We also had the soup of the day which was really tasty. Only negative would be the new seating and decoration since we last went in, it has one from a beautiful, cosy pub to a cold and dingy feeling cross between a restaurant and a pub but it doesn't feel like either. It just didn't feel right and has lost the charm it used to have.

    Went on Father's day with my daughter who doesn't like beef or pork and found nothing on the menu. They were so unhelpful and rude. Suspect food is microwaved as they wouldn't swap anything around. Won't ever go back.

    Really good food - and definitely worth trip . Children's roast was also excellent and a good portion - children's sausage and mash was a little bit small portion for anyone but a toddler , but other than that excellent

    Excellent service by people who knew what they were doing - excellent beer. good cheese and onion pie and steak and ale pudding but too many chips and they were too hard. Would suggest some nibbles as well as starters - we waited thirty minutes for our meal. Appreciate the new decor. Strange their was no lamb or mutton on the menu.

    Really great place, found the staff welcoming, restaurant size of 5 tables in the dining area was intimate, view out the window was a tree lined cobble track - lovely. Great selection of pub style food to choose from at a good price. Will definitely be back again.

    Refurb not quite finished, needs a lot more decorative touches! Staff very friendly and helpful. Food arrived warm, not hot, not very well presented and definitely over priced in comparison to other local restaurants. Won't be returning!!

    We picked a bad day before a three day shut down so they had run out of cask beer by 5pm. They seem to have one girl waiting tables who was run off her feet so the service was slow between courses. However the food was good and we would go again when its not bank holiday.

    There was five of us in my party and each of us ordered a different meal. Every plate of food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. Staff were very friendly, relaxed and helpful.

    Booking was simple via the Open Table website and staff were happy to oblige and sit us at our table early when we turned up over 45 minutes ahead of time. One friend and I had roast leg of lamb on a bed of seasonal veg with proper roasties, sweet potato mash, and a giant yorkie - plus a little extra gravy which was no trouble for chef to provide! My other friend had the cheese and onion pie with cheese sauce and looked really happy with her choice too. Dessert was a mixed affair - I had the Chocolate Fondant which came with ice cream and a jug of chocolate sauce, all totally yummy and runny in the middle as it should be! One friend had apple pie and ice cream (didn't fancy the cinnamon infused creme anglaise) which was quickly polished off, whilst the other had Eton Mess - this wasn't particularly creative or good value compared to the other desserts as the presentation wasn't inspiring and could have been made by anyone. Priced at £5.95, you expect every dessert to be as good and have taken as much effort as the Choc Fondant. Overall, we still enjoyed our meal and would return again, but won't be ordering the Eton Mess.

    A cosy if slightly eclectic pub. Had a lovely wood burning fireplace that filled the room with a wonderfull smell. We opted for meals of less traditional pub fare...the Black pudding starter was beautifully presented and was lovely to eat but most flovours were sublte with no real leaning one way or the other. Pork Loin beautifully cooked and presented..really nice plate of food. Can definitely recommend the sausage and mash too tasty sausages. So great food, reasonable service and a nice atmosphere for lunch but a little at the top end of the budget for us..
