Proper old fashioned local. Like being transported back to 1981. Expected to see Double Diamond and Watneys on the bar. Home made pies just like your Gran used to make. We love this place. A shame it's a bit too far for us to visit more.
A splendid welcoming country pub. The beer is always good, the wine too; food is freshly cooked with good quality ingredients, plenty of veg. good selection and always tasty.. We always enjoy our lunches there, wish we could go more often.

Friendly pub with great old fashioned home cooked food
This is a regular haunt for my Wife and I.
Great friendly atmosphere, a welcoming landlady who doesn't suffer fools gladly.
Good choice of Beers, Lagers and Cider, as well as all the usual soft drinks etc.
The food is mostly home cooked.
All the specials are home made pies, they are all good, my favourite is Chicken and Leek, but you cannot go wrong with any of the others, Steak and Mushroon, and 20 Church Wardens Pie. All are served with a choice of Chips, Potato croquets, or Jacket Spud.
The range of pies rarely varies, which may sound like a negative, but as the saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it, and as people keep coming back, it clearly isn't broken.
Plenty of the usual pub food options too, Steaks, Scampi and Chips etc.
At busy times you may have a wait, however this will be made clear. Remember this is a small village pub, not one of those faceless franchises.
If visiting in a large group, it would make sense to book a table.
The pub is dog friendly too, the "in house" hound is Daisy a very small and very friendly Yorkshire Terrier.
Most of the mobile phone networks do not get a signal here, and there is no WiFi, so you will just have to talk to people.
NB the pub does NOT take Credit or Debit cards, it's cash or Cheque.
Mr Michelin probably wouldn't give it 5 Stars, but that is his loss.
Excellent country pub. Very traditional, unspoilt by modernisation. A real gem set in the beautiful village of Cockley Cley. Real home made dishes rather than home cooked (bought in) that will find on most pubs today. with an excellent range of mouth watering pies.
A welcoming local pub mainly frequented by friendly locals. Food of good quality and exceptional value.
Good value homemade food. Renound for the Pies. The pub dog is friendly, but beware of the landlady, she might bite.
A country pub serving good home cooked food. Well worth a visit. I know we will again .
Traditional pub,with polite and friendly staff, that made you fill welcome. Home cooked food is really good at a reasonable price. Dog friendly pub.
We had a great lunch here, with delicious, homemade pies, fresh vegetables and a wide variety of tempting desserts. Welcoming, friendly atmosphere. How the chef manages to take multiple varied orders, cook and deliver them with efficiency and a friendly manner beats me...but she does it brilliantly! We'll be back!
Beautiful pub , fantastic food and dog friendly, excellent prices! Home cooked pies ! X
