    Super-friendly welcome, as always, and great choices for a proper Sunday lunch. Only slight issue is parking - it’s very limited because of its proximity to the Great Park and Savill Gardens also close by. But definitely worth the effort.

    Excellent food served with such pleasant staff. Probably more up market than your average pub meal but what a treat to eat there

    Left feeling disappointed and it burnt a huge hole in my pocket I have eaten here several times again but I'm afraid to say this will be my last time Prices have increase since I last ate there by 20%. A two course sunday roast for £50 is not value for money especially when you only get one slice of beef and what looks like a pork chop. The sides that come with the roast were nice but not enough for the table so we asked for more parsnips and was charged additional Good job we weren't drinking alcohol when an apple juice costs £5 and a soda and lime is £2.50 I know times are tough for pubs but times are tough for everyone and the costs you are passing on are not right Then we get the bill and for three guests there is a £26 service charge Not worth the money, it's good but I'd expect to be paying half what we did And if that wasn't enough we were then asked to vacate the table as the next booking was waiting at the bar.

    I have eaten a few times here and every time has been nothing short of exceptional. The friendly team really make the evening special, along with great selection of drinks to accompany a great menu. A firm favourite.

    The Bailiwick never lets me down. Today we had a fabulous three course business lunch. 5* food and excellent service. As I always say, we'll be back.

    Beautiful roast beef & pork, vegetables al-dente all cooked and seasoned to perfection. Great service as always from your Australian server, who put us in a sensible corner table with our 60KG Rottweiler so he could spread out and not interfere with service. Probably our 10th Sunday linch visit, never disappoints
