"Fantastic all round. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful. We were given a long table in the conservatory for a large group (20 or so, including young kids) for Sunday lunch. Food, service, drinks, all round superb - the roasts were excellent. Thanks to the team for a great experience."

"Such a wonderful pub. The food is stunning, the garden is really lovely and the staff are very welcoming. We had to wait a little while today for our mains to arrive after the children’s food arrived (not a big problem as everything calms down once they’re munching anyway) and the staff spotted it immediately without us having to say anything and were so kind to us, swiftly offering a free drink whilst we waited. It may seem like a small gesture but it really made us feel seen and so a minor inconvenience left us feeling like a valued customer. The bonus is that we had the best pie and ice cream I’ve eaten in a very long time! We will absolutely be back and probably regularly now!"

"We have just had a wonderful celebration for our daughters wedding here. Chrissie and Rob were very attentive, they listened and made happen all our ideas from start to finish! We had afternoon tea for the wedding breakfast all home made and delicious! The accommodation is lovely with a beautiful garden and not forgetting the gorgeous pub dog Roman who made us feel very welcome too!"

"Came for Sunday lunch. Staff were lovely and very friendly, gorgeous pub dog, but there were no vegetarian options for a roast and only 2 veggie mains that seemed to be just vegetables on a plate with a few sauces drizzled on- nothing of much substance. I went for the fish and chips which was delicious, but quite expensive. Beautiful pub itself but left feeling a bit disappointed."

"Hooray for a warm welcome and amazing lunch after a good walk. We have been quite a few times to this pub, which has always been charming but it's got better and better. We sat outside this time under a lovely vine. The service and the food were exceptional and would put many 'exclusive' restaurants that charge double the price to shame."
