Great staff but cash only

·

Was very friendly and welcoming will go again for sure

·

Nice cosy little pub with good beer that doesn't allow use of mobile phones, laptops etc. A very pleasant change

·

It's a Sam Smiths pub not much more to add.

·

Great pint of Sam's handpulled @ £2•00 with friendly, joking customers & a good atmosphere. Also dog friendly. I always call in when in the area, sadly not often enough. Updating my review 7th Sept 20, still with Covid restrictions on, Sam Smith have increased the price by 50% to £3•00 but still good value for a good pint. Sadly very quiet but Tuesday afternoon.

Great country pub with open fires in the winter and beer garden for the summer. Warm friendly atmosphere and great Sam Smith's beers from £1.34 a pint! What's not to like?

·

Sadly apart from lovely glowing real fires there would be no reason for a return visit. Antiquated, nearly quaint but tired. Only reason one might go in is cheap ale but other products are more expensive and overall substand. If you want cheap go to Wetherspoons, cheaper overall and better products.

Lovely village pub with a warm welcome and very reasonable prices..Three pints of an excellent dark mild and still get change from a fiver!

A gorgeous little Samuel Smith's pub. Welcoming enough to non-locals too. A decent array of beers, spirits and soft drinks on offer, though not stacked with major brands so be prepared to try stuff you haven't seen before.Of note is a poster declaring a strict 'no swearing' policy, though unclear to what extent this is enforced.The regular pub quiz seems to be held in some reverence, there are even graphs on the wall detailing the flow of points scored week-to-week.

Many years ago, I used to frequent this pub and as I was in the area, I called in for a pint, for old time's sake. Firstly, I was amazed at the price of the beer. A very good pint of Sam Smith's Bitter for £1.90. The atmosphere in the pub is quite unusual. When I arrived, I was surprised by how much everyone was hurling insults at each other. But in a short time, I realised that there had been no falling out and that this was routine banter in the pub. In actual fact, it was full of locals who had a very good relationship with each other. In many ways, my visit was like a trip down memory lane in more ways than one. The price of the beer was how it used to be in the 1980s and the pub was full of locals as it used to be in the 1980s. My only regret is that this pub is not my local, as if it was, I could easily become a regular customer.
