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.

To my regret, for some reason I had never been to this pub even though it is only 5 miles from us. Went for a Sunday roast and it was very, very good with friendly atmosphere and attentive staff and Landlord. If you like your...real ales( I do!) they serve Adnams Ghostship and London pride which are kept very well. Left a happy bunny. Will definitely visit more often.More

Wow! What a beautiful pub, so cosy, welcoming and food was outstanding. First time and won’t be the last…New Years Eve lunch with friends. Fresh, home cooked, pub food that was tasty, plentiful and delicious. Spoilt for choice with a fabulous menu and great specials...on the board. Service was excellent - compliments to the chef, owners and staff. So pleased our friends took us here…We will be back 110% and by the way…top tip…the after eight cheesecake is AMAZING!More

My husband, 2 dogs and I recently popped in to this beautiful country pub while on our holidays to Essex. We were met with a warm welcome by the young chap behind the bar and we ordered a light lunch. I had garlic mushrooms, which...were served on garlic bread with rocket leaves and drizzled with balsamic glaze, it was a huge portion and very filling even though it was a starter. My husband had the smoked bacon and Brie sandwich, with a lovely mixed side salad, again all beautifully served and presented. We shared a side of chunky chips which were clearly the real thing, not oven chips. Crispy and crunchy on the outside and fluffy like a roast potato on the inside. A really super place to eat and enjoy a quiet drink. We’ll definitely be back.More
