This pub has a nice, country feel to it. Nestled in a pretty village, it appears to be a bit of a ‘best kept secret.’
It’s not professing to be ‘posh’, but is absolutely better than an average village pub that serves food.
In some...ways, the tables and chairs, and the decor looks a bit basic and outdated; but, the food completely makes up for that and it also has benches outside, which in good weather, is a boon.
The owner is very passionate about the pub having a friendly feel to it and for people to feel welcome. The staff are approachable, personable and knowledgeable, and have a nice balance of attentiveness vs giving one time to enjoy the ambience.
The food sits at a price point that nods to quality, but that doesn’t price some people out of affording to eat there.
The food is delicious, carefully and ethically sourced, and the menu has interesting choices.
They seem to have quite a following and are well known in the area.
The roasts are some of the best you will have; the meat particularly standing out. Well cooked, as well as being very tasty cuts.
Would recommend this pub for families or couples; and seems to be popular too for just popping in for a pint. They have an extensive wine list too, with many glass-priced options, too.
Very nice owners, who go out of their way to be friendly and welcoming and want to create an above average experience for their punters. Definitely worth a visit!More
