Open Tuesday to Sunday with food served all day from noon.
We now have 3 Giant heated Tipis, they provide lots of fresh air and a lovely open environment, they are also heated.

Formerly an 18th Century farmhouse boasting exposed beams, oak floors, exposed brickwork and oak tables. This leads to a very relaxed and cosy atmosphere with candle lit tables and real flame stoves.

The cuisine is typically modern European, classically cooked using cornerstones such as stock pots to create their sauces with a brigade that has a passion for what they do.

This is exciting times for the pub which now has a new bar serving real ale straight from the cask. Be sure to check out the website regularly to keep up with the latest events and offers.

    The Moody Mare was freezing cold, the heating had not been on long before we arrived and was totally inadequate to raise the temperature in such a large building. The outside temperature was 2C so heating should not have been off. Credit to the staff who were in an impossible situation and continued trying to take food orders with good humour and politeness. Customers wore their outdoor coats and we were shaking with the cold. there was nobody senior available to escalate to. I our opinion, the Moody Mare should not have been open for business in those conditions. We decided to find somewhere else to enjoy our lunch. It would have been a nice touch to have been given our drinks for free! Very disappointed!

    Reading the other reviews I had high hopes for a good experience but was sadly disappointed. We arrived for our 26 wedding anniversary just after they opened on a very cold day. The place was freezing. Staff assured us it would warm up but in the two hours we spent there it actually felt colder. The staff were nice and attentive. The starters were good. (Tomato soup and pate), but my pork loin was terrible. It was overcooked and rubbery, and the whole dish was covered in a garlic oil that was not pleasant and made the whole dish taste the same. I might give it another go if passing on a summers day as there’s lots of outside spaces, but not putting the heating on before you customers arrive on a cold winters day is unforgivable. To the management, you need to warm the place up before customers arrive. Even the staff has to go and put their coats on!

    We dined as a group of four. The food was cooked well and very tasty. Service was also very good. The only possible improvement would be to have a better selection of port but this is minor

    We booked for the ABBA night but were stuck at the back where we couldn't see . Mind you it was a solitary girl not the ABBA 4. However, it was great food and staff and we will go again.
