Cosy, quintessentially English pub / restaurant, with an upmarket, modern twist. The cosy style and ambience made for an enjoyable social gathering. Great choice on the menu, with old favourites, and a broad selection to appeal to all tastes. Quality food, beautifully presented with care and passion. Our dedicated waitress (Becky) showed all the skills and commitment that makes dining out that extra bit special. Becky was attentive, knowledgeable about the dishes and drinks on offer, and made us all feel important and welcome with her humour and meeting our needs. The team did not charge for a meal for one of our party of ten, when it was realised that this choice could not be provided, and an alternative has to be suggested. This is slick, excellent customer service, which encourages patrons to return to this establishment. Prices are not unrealistic, and should be viewed as competitive for such good food and service. A very enjoyable night had by all. Barnett and Bennett family.

Visited this pub this evening as it's our closest Chef & Brewer. Being a vegetarian, I'm always sceptical about burgers but I had the BEST veggie burger ever & the cookie desert was amazing! The staff were very friendly especially Victoria & the chap behind the bar. Thank-you all for a lovely meal, we will be back

Melt in the mouth steak served with a delicious crispy onion side and dressed lettuce with beautifully cooked chips. Went down well with a nice bottle of Malbec. My man had a lamb shoulder dish which he loved. Added bonus we were able to use our Gourmet card. Service was good - no complaints

We have been here a few times so it was about time we left a review. We visited in July on a Saturday night. The food is always excellent. My wife had the chicken burger and I had the pork from the specials menu. Both meals were excellent, well cooked, fresh and tasted lovely. No complaints about the service. Staff friendly, helpful and always a nice choice of tables. This venue is always a favourite. Keep up the good work.

Food was lovely, all the staff were helpful and smiley, my pudding was the Eton Mess pancakes from the specials board and was amazing. My only query would be wheelchair access to the disabled loo which is up one step.

Visited yesterday evening. Exemplary service from the moment we walked through the door. Greeted and seated instantly. Enjoyed the food. Did not visit with a dog but good to know they are welcome too. Nice dog board with lovely dog photos. I would not hesitate to revisit.

We haven’t visited this pub in 10 years and can honestly say what a great place. We were greeted by the amazing staff and nothing was too much trouble. The food very tasty, hot, well presented and no waiting around even thou a large order had gone in before ours. Most of all the customer service was outstanding. Will be definitely visiting again with my family. Great place, great atmosphere thank you.

I recently stopped by for a cup of coffee, and I was thoroughly impressed! The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the cozy atmosphere as I walked in. The barista was friendly and skilled, crafting a perfect cup of coffee that warmed my soul. It was rich, smooth, and just the right temperature. The ambiance of the inn made it even more enjoyable. A great place to savor a cup of java. I'll definitely be back!

Lovely place with relaxed atmosphere. Front of house staff couldn't be faulted but when member of kitchen staff brought something to the table he looked annoyed and almost spilt it. That attitude unfortunately spoils the overall experience. I found the roast to be quite salty so I wouldn't have that again but would certainly visit again and have something else from the menu.

Really nice visit. Sunday lunch, booked for 2pm. Arrived slightly early and was seated straight away. Drinks order was taken, whilst looking at menu. Unfortunately, the wrong drink arrived at the table but was charged straight away with absolutely no fuss at all. Food arrived swiftly and was delicious, good portion to cost ratio. We were checked on after the first couple of minutes, which was nice. Deserts were equally as nice and accommodated a personal change from ice cream to custard (2 x jugs even!) Forgot to add we had an acute nut allergy, which was noted at arrival, and there was no issue at all. I've been before and I'll go again... should say it all. 10/10 thanks team.

Dropped in on the off-chance of a table for 5, and the greeting was superb. Drinks, Main course and dessert all excellent only made better by Mia. Mia was cheerful, polite, and professional and made our visit special. Definitely return, thank you.

Not local, we were just passing. Looked nice from outside, and the inside was very comfy. Was greeted with a smile and shown to our table. Drinks offered and served quickly. Menu has a good choice of food and also set menu available. I had the seafood grill and my other half a rump steak. The steak was not cooked as asked (more rare than medium rare) but was still nice. The seafood Was lovely and only thing I would say is a bigger portion of seabass would have been nice. Food was hot and very tasty. The service was good and Colette was very smiley, friendly and attentive. Would definitely visit again (but as we live 30 miles away, probably wont).

Because of time constraints I only called in for Lunchtime sandwich. Had steak, (cooked how you wanted) in ciabatta. Came with a small portion of fries, a green leaf salad that had an excellent dressing and a small gravy boat filled with onion gravy. Not big but just right for lunch. It was all very good. Food, good as it was, the service was even better. Both the staff that served me, at the bar and at the table, were very friendly and helpful. I will certainly go there again and look at the the full evening menu.

An unexpected delight. Head here, eat food, be happy. Three of us at here for Sunday lunch. Probably the best roast I've ever had out. Amazing veg, so fresh. Garlic and rosemary roasties, seasoned to perfection. Pork loin that was tender, crackling that was more-ish. Yorkie that was spot on. Kid loved the ice cream. Really good prices - around £14 for the mains. Colette was our waitress, responsive and helpful. We can't wait to head back.

I booked a table for 2 on Friday evening, the restaurant was comfortably busy but relaxed. I dined with my partner and we both chose bread and oils for a starter and steaks for our mains. The food was delicious and the service, particularly from our waitress Colette was excellent! 👏🏼😊

Enjoyed a great Sunday lunch where the food and service were very good. Reasonably priced and good portions. Only criticism is the poor cutlery! Knives need to be better quality, particularly with meat dishes.

Thank you for amazing service. We visited twice in a couple of weeks for a family meal. The first time, Amelia looked after us and was super friendly and helpful. Today, it was a pleasure to meet Lily and enjoy a nice relaxed lunch. We'll be back next time we're in town 😊
