    We’d been looking forward to our booking for weeks. I stopped eating meat 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer and finally was ready to have steak. Sadly this wasn’t available on the minimal Boxing Day menu. This was told to us as they had a small menu so they could finish fast and shut early. Not sure how a steak is slower to cook than a burger? From the moment we entered the hint given by the waitress was we couldn’t leave fast enough! She didn’t ask what I wanted with my burger, I interjected. When we asked for sauce it looked on her face as an inconvenience . With plenty of food on our plates she asked if we were finished. She suddenly became polite and apologetic when it became time to pay. Conveniently in time for a tip that wasn’t received! The meal we had was mediocre. A gluten free bun which seemed it had been frozen, defrosted in a microwave and grilled, making it chewy and nasty! The chips were dry as sand! An overall disappointment- very sad!

    The booking process was simple, the table for 8 was very good and available on time. The staff were efficient and courteous and obliging to all our requests. The food was cooked and presented to an excellent standard. Overall an excellent value for money meal.

    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

    We visited on Saturday 14th December as a party of 6 ladies. We booked the Christmas menu. On arrival we were greeted by a very pleasant member of the team. The food arrived and was very well presented and hot. The staff were very attentive and asked regularly if there was anything else needed. We had a lovely evening with gorgeous food and in very comfortable surroundings. Thank you.

    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.
