About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Good for groups

Our 17th century country pub is more than just your local. Think of a roaring fire in the winter, a sun trapped courtyard garden in the summer and seasonally changing menus that reflect the best of the British Isles.

Only disappointment is that the Father’s Day menu offered did not quite match the social media ad which indicated roasting meat but with potato salad option.

Sorry Sara, we have had to delay the launch of the outdoor bbq menu as rather boringly, we're awaiting a hand sink being fitted. It's such as shame we couldn't do it in time but we're hopeful we can serve up some delicious outdoor eats (safely) very soon.

We'd eaten at Ember, and very much enjoyed the food. A visitor from France was a good excuse to try the Four pears sister establishment. The bookings are rigidly controlled to stagger the dinners not overloading the kitchen. No problem, we selected the 17.00 booking. We arrive to find a decent size restaurant with one lovely family party of say 10 ISH just finishing their meal. The noise being generated by children & adults alike was very loud, not a massive problem, just didn't want to be put on the table right next to them! Why just why even attempt to put us next to them. Heres the one small issue with the Four pears, anticipating customers needs. What's required is the old fashioned Maitre D touch, our server confused our drinks order, then got a side dish wrong. The boss was about, seating and order taking should be her exclusive role. The knowledge of the menu would then be handy and errors lessened. Top dollar you are asked to pay, the foods outstanding, innovative interesting & utterly delicious. If I'm paying Top dollar for the grub. The service needs to match the food.

Hi Robert, Thank you for your comments on our food, I know our kitchen team will really appreciate your warm praise. I was briefly about on Saturday to facilitate staff breaks and switch between day and evening service. However, I did need to leave to attend my own birthday celebration. Our capacity can be over 80 covers with a pub and garden on top of that. Though it would be wonderful to get the opportunity to get to every table, it just isn't possible and would be detrimental to overall customer experience. I'm sorry there were some small confusions, but I'm glad you still enjoyed your experience with us. We have a lovely team, some very experience, some still learning, but all have genuine care. Best Wishes, Clare

Excellent dining experience. Really well prepared and presented food. Portions are generous (we ended up over-ordering having not realised this). I had the Cheeseburger which was delicious (surprisingly, burgers aren't easy for restaurants to get right, I find, but they got it spot on) and my wife had the fish which was prfectly cooked. Superb service, both of the folks who served us were lovely, attentive without being OTT and on the ball smart. Got the balance just right. Ambience was nice, we sat in a conservatory and it was comfortable. Overall quite quiet, which is what we wanted, because we visited early in the evening - it was definitely filling up as we left.
