    We booked the Barn but ended up in the Bar area. The menu could do with a bit of a change & some more traditional meals. That said, this is a great place to eat & still our favourite place. The staff are great & the ambiance is just right. Prices are reasonable. The unlimited free sparkling & still water in bottles/jars is a nice touch.

    Been looking for a good local pub/restaurant for some time since the Bull at Hinton went off the boil. Found it!! The pub was busy , Saturday night, but buzz added to the atmosphere. Mains of liver, F&Chips and hake all delicious, nicely presented but not pretentious, deserts tasty, drinks good selection and well priced, service polite, prompt and friendly (thank god nobody called us guys!!) . Nice ambience and feel to the place.

    The atmosphere and service were both friendly and inviting, but, sadly, our main course choice of lamb was very disappointing. The meat was exceptionally chewy (more mutton than lamb) and rather spoiled the birthday treat I had organised for my partner. Never normally one to leave any food, he was defeated , after what seemed like endless chewing, and left the remainder of his meal. The waitress was sympathetic and gave us a 15% discount on our bill, but that choice of main rather spoiled what, otherwise, would have been a delightful evening.

    We were seated in the bar which is where we booked. We arrived a little early but our table was ready and we were served quickly. The menu was really great, lots of choice and a change from the usual offerings which seem standard wherever we go. My husband had the hake and rosti and I had guinea foul with cannellini beans. Both were absolutely delicious! Piping hot and plenty of food! My only criticism is that the only sliced or curried option available were vegetarian dishes, I’d have loved a meat option, but that is a very small quibble!

    The food was exceptionally good, well above pub grub standard, beautifully presented and an interesting menu. A good ambience with drinkers as well as diners i the bar area where we were eating. The restaurant at the back has stunning views. Toilets were clean and well appointed. The whole place felt welcoming and was very clean modern light airy and attractive. The only minor niggle was that the chairs in the bar area were very hard and cushions would have been nice. To be fair we didn't ask for one - I'm sure the lovely friendly d]staff would have provided if we had asked. Overall an excellent lunch, we sat with our friends for nearly four hours and felt relaxed and unhurried. We will return!
