   On arrival staff were friendly. We were served quickly with drinks and sat outside in the garden. There were nine of us as it was my husband‘s birthday six adults three children we were given menus which we swiftly chose from. We were seated at the table within good time But then everything went downhill. The children’s meals were served with the starters. The chicken wings were so tiny and had no meat on them then the mains arrived. We ordered two gammon Sunday roast. The gammon was so thick chewy uncooked and full of fat neither of us could eat any of the meat. The roast potatoes tasted just like aunt Betty‘s frozen roast potatoes. There was something that resembled red cabbage that was actually dark purple nearly black in colour the cauliflower cheese was tasteless. The only thing I ate off the plate was the Yorkshire pudding two of the other adult meals arrived With the burgers. The third burger was missing when asked where it was was told it would be two more minutes 10 minutes later it arrived was uncooked in the middle so was also a great disappointment. We were asked how the meal was but only after all plates have been removed. I had prepaid for the meal once I ordered it The children’s desserts then came saying two scoops of ice cream. There was hardly any ice cream in the bowl it didn’t equate to one scoop we quickly left the restaurant as we didn’t want the embarrassment of having to tell them how dreadful all the meals were apart from the children’s Fish goujons.

   A real disappointment after reading reviews and going by info on the website. From the outside this very characterful property looks quite special, but don’t be fooled. Staff were friendly enough and worked hard, but in my opinion the food was awful. Simply put I would not eat there again.

   The pub was quiet. The staff greeting us were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately although it was early in the evening there things we were not able to order and although we had planned to have cheese and biscuits after our meal these were unavailable too. Overall a bit disappointing

   Great service & great food, couldn’t fault anything. The young lady that looked after us from start to finish was extremely polite, efficient & friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit.

   Good value, delicious food Did feel that lasagne with potatoes AND garlic bread was rather carb heavy, but the sea bass was delicious. Not much choice for those on low cal diet Pleasant environment and friendly staff.

   The table was not set for us even though I booked afternoon tea in advance. The food was very basic not very well presented. The savouries were large chunks of cheese and slices of meat the sausage rolls were not freshly made and soggy. The meat in the sandwiches were thickly sliced beef and pork and very tough. The scones were warm which was nice. The most unpleasant thing was the infestation of flies on our food. There did not appear to be any insect deterrents in the restaurant at all. All in all I thought it was very expensive for what we were given and I would not recommend it to anyone I’m afraid.

   We decided to eat here for my birthday meal with my parents after previously having several lovely visits. However we ended up waiting around 45 minutes just for two very basic starters (mushrooms on toast and prawn cocktail) we then had another long wait for our mains. Such a shame and so disappointing.

   A lovely experience. Super friendly staff could not be more welcoming and helpful. Beautiful old building with tons of character. Good food is a little pricey but hat won't stop us from returning.

   Food quality didn’t match prices, kids food not very kid friendly and wasn’t served on a suitable plate for a nearly 2 year old. Toilets also not clean.
