After year of been a chef and working all over the country in the fine dining industry. This comes the closest place I've seen with the best food in a pub. They may be more but this one is 5 star.

Very nice pub with a very nice atmosphere. Staff were friendly.Food and drinks were very overpriced for what was served. For the same money, we could have had a freshly prepared 3-course meal with a quality bottle of wine at a decent restaurant.NOTE: I assume the menu, portion sizes, and the food and drink prices are governed by the Vintage Inns group, and not by the individual pub. As I stated above, the pub was pleasant and the staff friendly, so no reflection on them.

Our first time eating here. What a treat. Using our 50% off vouchers we enjoyed a steak and fishcakes.Fabulous food and excellent service. We were served by a delightful young lady who couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. We will most definitely be back. Thank you.

Great British pub, good staff, nice beer garden however the prices are a little steep on certain items. Bottle of Corona was over £4 each. Other wise excellent 👌

Was greeted upon arrival by a friendly member of Staff and seated promptly (without booking in advance). Nice building and the tables were clean. We was served drinks relatively promptly also.Food however... My partner ordered fish and chips (triple-cooked apparently), I don't think they'd even been cooked once properly, they were rock hard and there was all of 10 of them. There was no seasoning on anything the fish was completely bland.My daughter had the roast. The meat and roast potatoes were edible. There was a giant 'roasted' parsnip that was raw and inedible and something that we assumed must have been an attempt at stuffing wrapped in bacon. My daughter had to spit it out, it was extremely salty and had no texture to it, it hadn't been cooked.I had a Chicken and pancetta pie with mash and roasted veg, which on the plate looked decent. However the pie was all pastry and I was struggling to find any filling. It didn't come with a sauce as it was apparently in the pie. I think they left that bit out. If it wasn't for the fact I used some of my daughters gravy I would've had splinters after attempting to eat this meal it was so dry. Again, no seasoning. No flavour to anything. My partner ended up eating it just for the fact his meal was so tiny he was still hungry.All food is overpriced for the quality you're getting. You could pay half elsewhere for a better meal. The place wasn't packed out at all either so I can't see any reason for the food being of such poor quality. The food was served very quickly after ordering, so I'm guessing it's just reheated.Won't be returning.

Great food, great atmosphere and great staff. What more do you want? People who actually care and provide their customers with a 5 star service. We visited on a Friday night. The place was buzzing but the service was still brilliant. Well done!

Lunchtime meal for 8 of us for my nans 97th birthday. Disabled parking right next to the side door with a remote for disabled access. The pub was clean and staff friendly and welcoming. Our waitresses were really friendly and very helpful getting us additional sauce and things. Portion sizes were big and even the children's meals were big enough for teenagers! Everyone enjoyed their food and the ambience in the pub was really laid back and cosy with the log fire. Will definitely be coming back!

A few of us met up here a couple of weeks ago for a weekend lunchtime meal. Food and service were excellent but 2 screaming babies on the next table spoilt it a bit because at times we couldn't hear ourselves speak across the table and the parents didn't take them away from the area, just tried comforting them walking around. I don't go to a pub to hear this but probably just unlucky they were there at the same time.

This pub was so good we made sure when returning home from a holiday we stopped here again. Service, food, atmosphere was all 10 out of 10. If you haven't been here you should x

We were greeted by many while walking around admiring the oak beams as well as the history of this amazing building which used to be a house nearly half a millennium ago. All of the staff were wearing face masks, plenty of space for tooting or away from the tooters. Good selection of drinks but can't be said the same if you are a vegetarian or vegan. Would recommend.
