What a little Gem they have here.. Great choice of beer.. Cosy log fire.. And fantastic food.Lots to pick from. The steak was fab and cooked to order. We will definitely be returning.. And thank you to the new landlord/landlady for a lovely welcome see you again soon X

Called in a few times in last couple of weeks and somethings changed. Bar service is great but the food I’m saddened to say is not. Sunday lunch and evening meals. When I asked a regular If there was a different Chef, he replied yes, the regular was sacked without the managers knowledge.

My advice to the owner is to get him back as soon as you can. If not can you tell me where he has gone to work

I cannot give a review of the food as we didn’t stop and left after our initial drink. My partner asked for soda water and was given a very expensive bottled water (obviously bar staff not listening). Sat outside because it was a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon and all we could hear was other customers fing and blinding, from the tables next to us. With the service we had already received and the foul language we decided to leave and eat elsewhere.

Booked for sunday lunch , been here before,new landlord but the same high quality sunday lunch ..The only negative is they ask for your debit/credit card for safe keeping when you order and give you a key..we thought it was a joke at first..when you finish your meal you go to the bar and give the key and they unlock a little box for you to pay and use your card at the card machine behind the bar..surely your card is just as safe in your pocket..what is all that about ? ...felt a little uncomfortable with this practice i have to say..surely theres no need for them to keep hold of your card while you eat..weird

Went to this pub for a Sunday lunch. Excellent. Although a 5 star rating a couple of minor negatives but nothing at all to do with the food and service.
Lets get the negatives out of the way.
1. Parking is shocking. Basically you park on the road which is narrow and on a bend, some parts having double yellow lines.
2. The small dining area we sat in was next to the main bar area felt as if we were actually sat in the bar as there were customers standing by the bar and somewhat loud. Just 2 small negatives from what was a very nice lunch.

We ordered the Sunday lunch (beef) and this was brought to the table accompanied by a nice Yorkshire pudding and two roast potatoes. [a little bit browner and crisper would have been nice] It was good to see that the plate hadn't been pre-plated. We were then served a gravy boat with gravy that actually tasted 'home made' and not the normal powdered gravy you seem to get these days, and three dishes that had potatoes, mixed vegetables and another of cabbage/cauliflower and green beans. It was nice to plate your own vegetables and gravy.

Overall the meal was very good. Hot, tasty and well presented to the table. Service was good. A very enjoyable lunch and well worth the visit.

The pub has two outside areas for patrons overlooking a small stream. No doubt these would be popular during warm weather.

Will I revisit? You bet.

Well done to all concerned at this venue.
