The service was not friendly, the place has very old decor and food is low quality - felt unwell in stomach after the lunch. I will not return…

Unfortunately we had a thoroughly underwhelming experience here - we appreciate we were booked in near the end of what would have been a busy Mothers Day, but we ended up disappointed. When shown to our table it wasn't actually set - we ordered starters off the tapas menu and they arrived before any cutlery. The started themselves were ok, but the roasts we ordered for main were very below par - bland, watery vegetables, overcooked roast potatoes and a thimbleful of gravy. The additional side of pigs in blanket were good, the cauliflower cheese less so. By this point there were no staff members to be seen, so we didn't order more drinks and decided it was a better option to go home for dessert. The prices are on the higher side for pub food and we expected a lot better.

Went for Mothers Day lunch. Excellent whole roast chicken for two with all the trimmings. Kids meals decent and wide selection of tapas. Great service especially considering how busy they were. Highly recommended.

Food was fine, standard English pub grub. It was cold with no roaring fire to welcome us to this medieval house. Service was very good.
