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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I came with some work colleagues for dinner. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend the scotch egg - the best I’ve tasted. However the service really let them down. Not particularly friendly and they took ages to take away our finished plates. Took a good...35 mins for our desserts to come and when they gave us those they eventually took away our mains plates. The young guy sat the bar - we assume worked there as he was friendly with the young girls working, couldn’t have looked more bored if he tried 😅 But food was tasty. Would go back but wouldn’t be in a rush.More

My family and I came here last Sunday for Sunday Lunch and had the best time. I am gluten and dairy intolerant and staff spent time going through the menu with me. There was so much choice and I was able to have most things...that were on the Sunday lunch menu. Staff just swapped and changed things around so I could have what I wanted. My family who don’t have any intolerances said it was the best Sunday lunch they have had in a long time. We will definitely be going back and it’s now a firm favourite in our family!More

Always exceeding expectations! The atmosphere along with the staff, and the food is out of this world. The most succulent, juicy roast beef and the desserts are to die for! Not to mention the thoughtfulness of a doggy bag for the dog at home. One...of our favorite venues in the country and we feel like it is our home from home.More

I just passed here on my narrowboat, spending 2 weeks (3 weekends) moored nearby. In that time I had 3 evening meals and a Sunday lunch in there and it was all great. Super dog friendly, so much so it even has a dog menu......and very good food. Of what I had, steak and kidney pudding stood out as an absolute gem of a dish... proper suet pudding with plenty of kidney in the mix and a kind of deconstructed colcannon mash that was delicious. But it was all really good, highly recommendedMore

The menu is excellent. Everything is beautifully cooked and prepared. It’s one of those places where you are spoiled for choice. I had fish and chips and my friend had a gorgeous salad. The service is great. We hadn’t been for a couple of years...but the standard is always high.More

Popped in this afternoon for a coffee and a hot chocolate whilst on a canal walk. Waited nearly 1/2 an hour. No drinks served. Went to bar to remind staff. Waited a while longer then left. How hard is it to serve two hot beverages...on a quiet midweek afternoon?More

My wife and I had an awesome Sunday lunch here yesterday. A lovely village pub that is SUPER dog-friendly, but also has a restaurant area that caters for non-doggy people too. The food was plentiful, and cooked to perfection. We opted for the beef Sunday...dinner with additional cauliflower cheese (highly recommend!) and a yummy pud each. Great food, friendly service: would highly recommend!More

Lovely location and great staff. The haddock looked great when it arrived, but didn’t taste anything like haddock, more like cheap white fish, batter was great tho’. Paid cash and weren’t offered any change
