    As always a proper English pub of great character, excellent service and good food. On a Tuesday night it was a little quiet but still very enjoyable.

    Usual excellent service from Sona and excellent food. This place is a real local gem in my opinion. My dog Ben and I regularly walk the nine mile return distance from Sellindge to have lunch here with a friend. Lovely place. Today tried one of their own pies (beef ) with cabbage and creamed potatoes followed by home made crumble and ice cream and a coffee. Also had a couple of beers. Excellent value 👍 Kevin

    Great food and a friendly welcome - plus a superb bottle of wine. We were unlucky to arrive at the same time as a table of 12 so the service was understandably a little slow but otherwise, everything was great. Would not hesitate to recommend.
