Came here Sunday for lunch with my little boy and grandad, went at 12:30 and didn’t leave until 5. The food was amazing and a great size, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The garden was busy and a great atmosphere and my son had the best time on the bouncy castle. Will definitely be returning again soon.

Advised no mushy peas so we were bought out crushed normal peas🙄, fire was lit on arrival but quickly went out and it was freezing cold. Service took forever, for drinks and food. If you are vegan don't bother, was advised I could have a pea risotto, this consisted of normal rise with peas added..... if I wasn't so hungry I would have sent it back. Sane as someone else said. If it was the kind of pub it looks like it would be great. Not going back.

Very bland experience. A lovely old pub has been "redecorated/ renovated'" to resemble an old school social bar. Limited choice of beers.However, staff very friendly and service good.

Decided to pop in for Sunday lunch and won’t be in a hurry back.After being seated we were quickly asked for drinks but we weren’t given any menus.We asked for a menu but still it didn’t come. When we had a chance we asked for the menu again, still nothing and still no drinks.Finally after about 20 minutes we got our drinks and a menu, our drink handed to us by the waitress who had her hands all over the rim of the glass. We asked if she could take our order, but she didn’t have a pen so had to get someone else.For the amount of staff they had on I’d expect a bit more of an attentive service. We shouldn’t have to ask about our menus and drinks on multiple occasions. Especially as the place was more than half empty.The food was wasn’t bad, a nice size portion of roast and the classic sides of veg.It’s such a shame, looks like a great little spot to stop off for lunch and a drink but unfortunately the service does not reflect. With a little staff training this could be the place it looks from the outside.

New ownership, friendly pub with good staff. Decor could do with a bit of work to make it more “pub like”, food was also decent. Will be going back!

Good food, good staff. Music too loud. Kids in the bar and behind the bar spoiled the overall evening.

Not been in for a few years, but definitely will be back. Nice friendly village pub popped in for a drink and food with friends but no food being served on that day but went out of their way and put some pizza and chips on for us. Really appreciated and thank you 😊 we will be back

Went today 6th Feb for Sunday lunch. Drinks service was quick but my pint was end of the barrel and had some sediment in it. Food was ok and nicely presented but not fantastic. Service was friendly enough. Unfortunately they had run out of my first choice of desert so I ordered an alternative (apple strudle) but unfortunately this was also served with the cardboard packaging underneath! Highlighted this to staff and they apologised but then awkwardly when it came to paying there were issues with our bill and had they had overcharged us for an extra desert and had actually missed off one of the drinks.Overall we were slightly disappointed as we had heard very good things about this place. We are hoping it was just an off day and would be happy to revisit

Lovely roast dinner. Beef was especially nice. Warm and friendly pub.

Very poor. Food was luke warm and didn’t resemble what was on the website. Music was ridiculously loud as well. Not great service at all.
