    Spotlessly clean pub with good food and good service. Booking advisable as it is busy. Good selection of beers, wines and spirits including two real ales. Locally owned village pub which is a lot better than the big pub chains.

    The roast was awful, poor quality all around. Barely any gravy and it was very watery. Mash might well have been smash. Nothing positive to recommend, over priced for what it was as well.

    Starters were a let down, changing the menu to what is now was a bad decision. Did not like halloumi with fries starter, too much cheese and curry sauce. Would have been nicer halloumi with a small salad. Partner was disappointed you have taken belly pork tacos off the menu, nachos were tortillas. Mains saved the day, reasonably priced. Noise level was too much when we left but nice ambience when we arrived.

    Sunday lunch very average, plate swimming in gravy and poor selection of vegetables although the meat was quite nice. Apple pie was terrible looked like a steak pie when it arrived. Staff were pleasant but had to ask for table to be cleared and for dessert menu and had to ask a few times for the bill. Disappointing overall 😕
