Another fantastic meal today. The food is clearly cooked from scratch and has a wonderful traditional home-made feel about it. Portions are generous, and the components are well thought out, so not your usual pub grub. If you're vegan or vegetarian you are also well looked after, many meals have a meat free option, rather than just being offered a mushroom burger, which seems to be the go to for lots of pubs these days. This is the best pub meal around, prices are very reasonable and the staff are friendly and cheerful. The beautiful countryside setting is also a bonus, and there are plenty of parking spaces. There's also a pub garden, but I haven't used it yet as not quite warm enough. Well worth a try, you'll love it!

Very much enjoyed our first visit for a family lunch today. Lovely refurbishment with good facilities and plenty of parking to the rear of the pub. Welcoming staff, great menu, clean plates all round, and we shall return - thank you 😊

For some time this has been my favourite eating and meeting place. Till last night. Quiz night may have been switched from Wednesday or maybe it's on two nights a week. The background noise was extreme. I ordered cajun chicken and decided to have it with chips. The chicken was tough and everything was swimming in gravy! Soggy chips and no flavour left in the chicken. It took so long to arrive I just picked at it rather than making a fuss. Very disappointing.

Lovely warm atmosphere, nicely redone. Food was good if a little slow but it was peak time and extremely busy so will forgive the service. Will definitely go back and try more on the menu. The roast was generous and well done. Thumbs up from me.
