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.

Reviewed 27 January 2024 via mobile

The evening started off well, my wife and I had starters from the snacks menu, very tasty and good portion size. Washed down with a pint of Badger’s Tanglefoot beer. We had the tenderloin pork mains, I had four pieces of meat whilst my wife...had two, to be fair it was tasty but not worth the price tag. Food served lukewarm. Whilst eating our starters a server offered other customers options available on the specials and variations on the normal menu. As this establishment is in a village it appears that the other customers were local familiar with how this business works. We cut our losses without having a sweet course. Paying the bill we were not presented with a itemised bill. I at this stage paid and left. We will not be back. A very disappointing experience not to be repeated.More

Went for dinner last Friday and they very kindly put a television on for us to watch the England game in the rugby world cup, which was beyond the call of duty! A few people did watch it but more people would have been a...better atmosphere. The pub was generally very quiet for a Friday night, which was odd. However the food was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be going back. The "Duck breast & spring roll" main course was very good and we had an amazing chocolate desert.More

We visited this pub with friends and our dogs for Sunday lunch and because the weather was so excellent we sat in the gorgeous garden of the pub. The roast beef and Yorkshire pudding was absolutely superb with the beef melting in your mouth. The...desserts were excellent as was the wonderfully charming service from Diana. I could not recommend this pub more particularly after a lovely walk with our dogs in Penn Wood.More

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast beef sitting outside in this very pretty picturesque pub garden with all the trimmings - we particularly liked the extra vegetables option on the menu with no extra charge as we do like a lot of...veg on the side!! The beef was extremely tender and our overall experience was relaxed and enjoyable, the staff were very welcoming, polite and provided a good service. A huge improvement from last year which was so nice as this is a delightful pub full of character, we will definitely return.More

Just when I thought the level of food couldn’t get any higher, it did. Fantastic meal… I invited some friends who also loved the experience and are both true foodies. 10/10 and will be back very soon

A stunning public house which on arriving gives off the right vibes. Enjoyed a lovely meal which was helped by the wonderful service supplied by Alyssa who not only poured our drinks but served our meals. She could not have been more helpful and friendly...which added greatly to our enjoyment. I only wished I lived nearer to this wonderful pub! By the way the beers not bad either!More

We have just come home from an evening meal at the Hit or Miss in Penn Street. Excellent food. The pub’s food wasn’t so good a while ago but is tasty, fresh and beautifully cooked now. We have been going there for many years and...think of it as our local and favourite pub. Very friendly place. Staff always so helpful (esp Philip who wasn’t there tonight). Thank you Hit Or Miss.More

We live locally and have been here many times and enjoyed it but it has really improved of late in so many areas. The menu is the right size to make you confident it’s that it’s freshly prepared and local but has options for everyone...and the food we had on our last visit was quick to arrive and really good. Nicely kept real ales, good wine choices and a genuine, friendly team made it a very pleasurable afternoon. The pub is in a lovely location with a pretty garden and patio area opposite cricket fields in the village so perfect for a relaxing drink or meal in the sun over summer, but they have also redecorated the restaurant area inside. Whilst not disastrous before this looks 100% better now and great for more of a sit down 3 course meal or celebration. We’ll definitely be back, hopefully soon 😊More

Really good food and nice traditional pub. Between us we tried the roast beef and sea bass and both were excellent. Service was slow but it was worth the wait and the staff were doing their best it was just a busy Sunday (Father’s Day!)
