Great atmosphere and pleasant welcoming staff. Xmas dinner was excellent and great quality...so much it was hard to eat it all. Highly recommended

Booked here for a family meal for 9. Everyone enjoyed their meal which was very reasonably priced and good quality. All served in quick succession so no one had to wait while others already eating. Landlord very attentive, happy to chat, but equally happy to leave us to our meal. Will definitely be going back. I have to say am a little baffled by those that have left a low score, you must have just been unlucky or expect the moon on a stick. Would urge others to give it a try and make up your own mind. 9 of use certainly don't think you will be disappointed.

Three of us enjoyed an absolutely fabulous, home-cooked meal tonight. Two lamb shanks and a braised steak and three amazing desserts. Finished off with coffee and all served with a friendly, chatty but non-intrusive barman. Lovely evening.

Loved the Peacock and her baby. But that was the most disgusting cup of coffee I've ever been sold. Was going to book a meal but that put me right off.

Whilst I appreciate the hospitality industry really has suffered, this was total rip off. Unlike their website menu where a burger came with chips and trimmings, my burger literally came on a side plate and nothing else. Poor quality burger and soft baps from a supermarket with bacon and egg for and a bowl of chips with couple of onion rings cost nearly £15.00 Always happy to pay top dollar for quality but resent paying a premium for such poor quality.

Having been out all day on a 200 mile round ride my friend and I must of been a sight. (Try riding a motorbike and not get covered in bugs)We had been turned away from an empty steak house who clearly didnt want us and we were starving.The staff here welcomed us and despite the now late hour they were not only willing to do food but could still do a roast.Seated in a very comfy dining room that made you feel miles from the main road and attended by friendly staff.There is something to be said about places that have a friendly/relaxed atmosphere, it runs off on customers and those that are strangers can talk or just exchange words as though friends. That's the atmosphere here. It was relaxing and peaceful. Polar opposite of the steak house we had tried to stop at a few miles before.Had a nice meal (if a tiny bit over cooked) followed by a fantastic sticky toffee pudding.Highly recommend it

Really nice ambiance, a nice place to take your girlfriend or boyfriend for a nice meal. Theres a pool table and even a challenger machine if your just there for fun. Good food too, for the price you pay it's well worth it, and when it says homemade it really is homemade. Definitely will go back there.

Great place! Most places are shut on a Monday but this place was so welcoming. Dog friendly and even made bangers and mash for our two rescues! Would definitely return food and staff were lovely

Although I enjoyed the lamb's liver that I ordered, they only had one portion which meant another member of our party was disappointed. Most of the other options on the menu were deep- fried and the other people in my party we're not impressed. It wasn't particularly busy and we felt that we waited a long time for our food. The staff were pleasant. No atmosphere to speak of.

Friendly local pub.. Local ales, lager & fairly priced, tasty grub 😀
