Beautiful pub tucked out of the way along bat and ball lane. Dog friendly, they even had a jar of treats on the bar. I'm glad we booked because it started to get very busy with lots of dog walkers and ramblers.
We had Sunday roast. All opted for the rather expensive beef. It arrived very well presented but not very generous portions. Beef was quite tough and chewy and we ended up giving quite a lot to the dog,so she loved it!
Red cabbage, carrot, broccoli, Yorkshire pudding were all good and the roast potatoes were particularly nice. Unfortunately, we all had one very large, extremely hard parsnip that was horrible. I would happily eat parsnips that were so charred and burnt that you could also use them to etch a charcoal painting. However, underdone parsnips have no place on my roast dinner.
The manager gave us some smaller better cooked ones after we simply had to say something.
Overall, a warm, friendly pub with efficient service and great atmosphere but for the price, the roast is a long way off.
Great menu, friendly staff and lovely quiet setting. The kids have a tree house to play on and there’s a lovely beer garden and cosy tables inside too. The ‘dip’ burger with gravy was tasty!
Very quiet, bit of a maze to get to it so I guess you really must have reason to want to visit. Good menu with nice eclectic touches. Beer range pretty good. Dog friendly possibly water station but did not notice.
So yes not a wasted journey.
