First visit and we were very impressed. Had our disabled daughter with and they were very accommodating and patient (my daughter takes a long time to eat). A ramp was set up and the staff happily helped us get the wheelchair in. Food was excellent and everyone was very attentive throughout. Definitely recommend this lovely pub and we will be returning.
Really lovely dining experience. The staff were very attentive, we did come with my two year old nephew who does like to wonder a little so it was lovely that the staff were so polite and understanding. The food was amazing and presentation was excellent. Best pub dinner we’ve all had in a while. Will definitely be returning.
Nice pub with a lovely garden & playground for children. It gets busy when the weather is nice but we managed to get a table. Fish&chips was lovely.
Booked for a special occasion. Was greeted with friendly welcome and taken to our seat. 2 adults and a child. Food was a little expensive but nice country pub so happy to pay. Main meal came out quickly and was very very tasty. Would love to know what they do to the carrots, they were something else! Whole family enjoyed main dinner. Unfortunately after the main course is where we was let down. Our waitress seemed to disappear (I think end of shift) but we was left waiting a very long time for dessert, eventually as had a 3 year old with me had to get up and ask at the bar. But once ordered the dessert came over quickly, seemed like they only had 1 person serving the meals. It was not very busy in the pub. Pub does allow dogs to roam (not a dog person so a little put off, but I understand it's a traditional country pub) Anyways, great food, would eat again. Just feel needs more staff to be perfect.
I haven’t eaten here for some time. It was a lovely sunny day and we went for lunch. Nice and clean. My only complaint is that I saw butternut squash being cooked on the same grill as the meat. As a vegetarian this was concerning. The food was good. My friend had a roast beef sandwich. Service was slow and no one explained the process for example you needed to collect your own cutlery. I would eat there again but would need to see how the vegetarian food is prepared
