Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Overpriced, mediocre food with small portions. Meat wasn't cooked right, steak wasn't great. Nobody attending was really happy with the quality. They also added a hefty service charge but everyone was to polite to ask for it to be removed. However friendly staff, cosy environment...and quick service but very overpriced and at the end of the day you go for the food not the smiles.More

My wife and I visited on a Thursday evening and had a really lovely meal. The service and food were both excellent, as was the ambience in the lower restaurant.

Excellent meal! We were surprised how busy this pub was on a Friday evening at 6pm, but that was obviously a good sign. We were greeted efficiently and served drinks in the bar. Once at the table service was really good, friendly and the food...excellent, well presented and tasty. Well worth a visit after many years.More

A group of three friends wishing for a super Saturday lunch - not too good, sadly. I have been visiting this lovely establishment for over 40 years but today was not at its best

We had food out in garden, service was great nothing too much trouble for any of team. I had fish & chips was lovely, curry sauce was like a tikka sauce which was a nice change to a traditional chippy curry sauce. Food hot and...garden well looked after. Will be back in winter months to sit and enjoy the undercover area outside too!More

What a great find! Living only a few miles away, I'm ashamed to say this was our first visit, but definitely not our last. What a cracking village pub - lovely staff, beautiful pub (and garden), great food. We'll be back and sure to recommend...to others.More

Returning for the first time in about a year and not disappointed. Excellent menu, attentive staff, good quality food. Only downside (and this is being picky) is that there don’t appear to be any specials available. Other than that it is very good.

Lovely pub/restaurant staff polite and attentive. Enjoyed meal very much however portions were quite small. Prices were good for the quality if not the quantity of food. Thought adding 10% tip to the bill which included drinks was a bit over the top. Will not...be visiting again even though as stated the ambiance and attention to detail was excellent.More

Stopped for lunch as saw the sign on the A46. We were not disappointed at all. Had a lovely lunch sat in the sunshine at the front of the pub. They’ve made an effort with planters at the front full of beautiful flowers and plants....The staff were great, friendly and helpful and prices were very fair. All in all, a very enjoyable Lunch stop in a nice location. Would go back.More

Amazing Sunday roast! Melt in mouth beef and lamb and gravy to die for!! A little more expensive than some restaurants but everything was cooked with love and attention, so definitely worth paying the extra. Lovely setting too - we sat on the decking area...but inside pub is really cosy and there is also a covered area outside which is very pretty.More

We booked this pub based purely on location for friends to meet up, it certainly didn’t disappoint! The staff were attentive and friendly, the food is fantastic and sourced locally, and the ambience is relaxing. Can’t wait to return.
