A delicious lunch experience. Well cooked dishes, food presented piping hot. Charming hosts, who did their best to make our visit enjoyable. A lovely country pub with great ambiance. The only reason max stars not given, was because one guests dish was forgotten and one dish not served as requested.

Enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon at The Holt, afternoon tea was lovely, nice atmosphere and decorated with Christmas tress and a lovely fire. Nice to have warm scones as some places do not do this, and nice sandwiches and cakes. We needed to do a last minute change with the sandwich's from their menu, and the were very obliging to do so.
