Very nice quaint pub in a lovely village, with friendly enough staff, open fires, low ceilings and a very nice beer garden.
We had a couple of starters that were quite disappointing, salmon and scallop thermidor was very whetherspoons and the paté was just cheap shop bought with a very dry piece of bread with frozen butter, wasn't sure what to make of it. 
We both went for the lamb rump for main and the lamb was the best bit of meat I have ever tasted! Wow! But that was it. There wasn't enough with it to make it a main. Very close to being a perfect village pub, but a few corners cut in the wrong places have let it down.

Good...

Absolutely excellent food and hospitality. 

Meals selected were across the board from steak to gluten free.Each delicious.

The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. 

As a local many places to chose from but this tops the list.

Thank you
A

Superb - great food and a lovely welcome

Love staying here, there's loads of parking, the staff are great, the beer is great, the food is delicious, and the rooms are fantastic.

It's also far better value than any of the chain hotels; plus, what hotel gives you a room with your own jacuzzi for £100?!

Fantastic again

We were there on December 9th for a 70th birthday party. Lovely pub in a lovely village.. The event room was nice.On entering, before even paying for our drinks at the bar, we were asked to pay for our meal by a staff member ? manager, in an unfriendly or welcoming  way. Once we were seated and the food came out it was in a haphazard way. As we were paying at the bar, we should have been asked what we ordered and given something to put on the table to identify what we were having , therefore the servers would not have needed to  standing at the end of the tables shouting out the preferences. Same for the dessert. The main meal was disappointing, I had the salmon, which was nice, but the vegetable, a twig of broccoli was chewy, according to the guests. I don't like broccoli so didn't eat. We had a couple of nice servers , but the rest of the staff were miserable. Two of the servers were also bar staff, as this was a function extra staff should have been there to assist.Then, there was the issue of a very loud party/get together at the opposite end of the bar. Sounded more like a working mens club and they all had obviously  over their limit of drinks. Also one was bouncing a rugby ball in the bar.One of them knocked into one of our group and knocked her drink over someone else. Not exactly the actions of  gentlemen. We also had 6 people who were not able to come due to illness and they had to pay for the meals. As a business person I would not have charged the full amount for those meals , I do understand that the food was ordered in but this was food that could be used it was nothing special. Salmon, chicken and sausages .Another way is to ask the hostess of the party if she / or anyone else wanted these meals to take home, as  they were paid for. 
Poor service, food that was overpriced for what is was and poor service.
Luckily we all enjoyed the company.


DISAPPOINTING service and meal

We were here for a 70th birthday party lunch. 40 - 50 people. Lunch was fine.

We stayed over in the annex in Robin. Comfortable quirky room. Not huge but adequate. Ensuite fine. Plenty of hot water, etc.

Breakfast full English was decent. Well cooked poached eggs and very nice sausage. Plenty of coffee and toast.

Staff all friendly and efficient. 

Would happily return.

Lunch, accommodation and breakfast 

Returned here after an outstanding lunch in summer 2022. Booked a table for a nice dinner, upon arriving we were seated in the bar not the restaurant. It was quiet and cosy but not much atmosphere. The menu was very meat heavy, burgers, steak, pork chops, sausages and lamb, but not much in the way of vegetarian options.  We opted for fish and chips, with an extra charge of £6 for two portions of garden peas as a they weren’t included.  I wanted veg instead of chips but was told it was too expensive for a substitute and would be charged an additional £3.50. Food was very underwhelming and overpriced ‘pub grub’. Very disappointing.

Birthday dinner

Tough roast beef.  Dry, stolid game pie.  The puddings (Apple Crumble, Sticky Toffee Pudding) were good and saved the day.  On a previous visit we had sausage and mash which was excellent and we wish we had had the same this time.  The service was good.

Disappointing lunch

I treated my other half to a night away on a very rare child free night. We arrived and were very impressed with the look of the place, received a warm welcome and shown to a beautiful room (we were in a premium room) 
We booked a table for dinner, lovely welcome although dirty wine glass. We sat for our meal and ordered. The food was lovely as were the drinks however there was NO atmosphere at all. No background music, felt like we couldn’t speak as it was so quiet. We were in and out, back to our room within an hour. 
Having returned to our room my partner decided to go back to the bar at 9.30pm to get another drink only to find that the pub was closed and in darkness so we were in a room without a drink and no facility to get one. 
Lovely location, beautiful room, tasty food but wouldn’t return purely on the lack of atmosphere within the restaurant.

Beautiful room, pub disappointing

Had a meal here on a Sunday evening recently. One of the few places locally to be opened on a Sunday evening. We have stayed here a couple of times in the past, earlier this year even. We had the place to ourselves and had a cosy table in the bar with a decent pint of beer, However my main course of Salmon with broccoli and new potatoes was meagre. Small piece of salmon with what could only be said were potato and broccoli garnish. Very poor and certainly the worst main course I have  eaten there. Hopefully a one off aberration.

Meagre portion

Really lovely. Wow. Here now after the first night of a two night stay, staff are welcoming, helpful and very effective. The building and surrounds are beautiful land beautifully kept. My room is bijou but luxe, with a massive bed and all the home comforts, though I booked standard accommodation. Food is just delicious with very fast service. Couldn’t be happier with my choice to stay here!
