    We were celebrating my Irish partners birthday so a well poured pint of Guinness was a good start. We both had Sunday roasts which were lovely. Good amount of meat and variety of veg. More roasties would have made it perfect. Great country pub atmosphere.

    Wow Everything you could want from a country pub - amazing, locally-sourced food; a warm and friendly welcome and service; great value, and they allow dogs! We are fussy foodies, but did not have a single quibble with anything. Fresh, homemade, traditional fare and some incredible views. Will definitely be making it out ‘go to’ pub from now on

    My friend and I booked for lunch to have in the middle of our countryside walk. We chose to eat from the Christmas menu. We shared a duck parfait starter, both had salmon for mains and shared a cheeseboard. Each course was absolutely lovely. The staff were very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I can warmly recommend.

    We had a fantastic roast at the Dumb Post yesterday. Although very busy, the service was excellent, we didn't have to wait long for our drinks or food. When the food arrived we were not disappointed. We would highly recommend this pub for a Sunday lunch.

    Very disappointing. Having called in advance to ascertain whether or not they could cater for our 11 year-old coeliac daughter and been told that they could indeed do the burger, bun and fries all gluten-free, it was extremely irritating to be told on arrival that the oil they make the fries in is also used for batter containing gluten and so they could not provide gluten-free fries. This completely ruined what was supposed to be a special supper out for our daughter. To add insult to injury the staff were not remotely contrite and made no gesture of apology to her.
