Not the best experience for a special occasion booked this weekend, service was slow, food wasn?t liked by all 5 of us and one meal was inedible. The portions were ridiculous and if you order a flat iron steak be prepared to get just that with fries and pay £18 ! A couple of our party ordered chicken, can?t go wrong can you ???? Yes the leek and fondant potato that accompanied it were a joke, very very disappointing and won?t be returning.

Been here a few times now and while the food good for this sort of fair the service is drastically lacking.. we had a table of 5 (pre booked) was shown to our table with menus then left for 20mins had to flag someone down for a drink..(we ordered food at the sane time to prevent starvation) 60% of the drinks turned up one was wrong... meals turned up then the rest of the drinks turned up... my food was very nice bit others were not that happy with theirs..We were then left again till we flagged someone down for the desert menu... I would of loved another drink but alas nobody came to ask..Probably short staffed.. who knows?

Excellent quality of food, and service. The meal arrived hot and well presented and we were really well looked after by the excellent Kiera. Chose to eat in the Farmers Bar with a very inviting fire and lovely atmosphere. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Lovely welcoming ambience even though pub not busy. Staff charming and attentive but not overbearing. Bar service very good and food ordering efficient. Both of us had beefburger which was excellent, well cooked, fresh a flavourful. The chunky chips were only just warm which we mentioned to our server who apologised and within a couple of minutes replaced them. We were both impressed with our experience and also impressed when issues are dealt with so well. Would highly recommend and will definitely return. Thank you!!!

We've been to this pub on a couple of occasions recently, once for my Birthday in October with my wife and once as a family of 5 for Sunday lunch. Both visits were really disappointing, meaning that I don't think we will be returning in a hurry... We have been patrons for a while, and previously we've been really really happy. The food was always excellent as was the service. But sadly, no more. The birthday dinner in October was really below the standard we came to expect. Items missing from our order, and the standard was not at all good. Bland, cold and lacklustre. The same can be said about our visit on Sunday. Parts of our order were fridge cold. Not like they had been sitting out for a while, but fridge cold... The staff were attentive, and the tall head waiter chap was engaging and helpful, but the 'spark' that made this place such a destination restaurant has well and truly left the building. The setting and the building itself remains beautiful. I don't know if this place is under new management, or if it has new owners but I hope they take this review in the spirit in which it is meant and that they make the changes needed to get the place back on track....

We stayed in a pod outside, they are a good idea as they have music playing and even a heater if it is cold.The food is of a high quality with good size portions.

Only went in for a drink after a January walk around the countryside but stayed for a lovely lunch. Staff were friendly and helpful. The crab linguine was excellent, tasty and a big portion. Beer was good and revived me after a 5 mile walk in the mud and water of a wet period thatbwe had just had. Certainly worth going to this off the beaten trrack gastro pub!

The restaurant was very, very, very cold and the service was very, very, very slow. Sat for an hour and a half in the bitter cold. People were wearing big heavy outdoor coats and scarves but still shivering with the cold. Ended up coming home for hot deserts and hot drinks just to try and thaw out. A most unpleasant experience. Need to install some supplementary heating for the atrium area and get some more staff on board.

Good menu and staff super attentive, we sat in the cosy farmhouse side and had the soup and veggie burger, vegan cheese so all good. Beautiful setting, the outside pods looked like a great option for some food with

Lovely food and the staff were very nice but the noise from the live music and party in the bar area was horrendous.We asked to be moved but this was not possible.I feel we should have been informed the music would encroach into the restaurant area.We, and other people, complained and the staff were very apologetic but unable to do anything about it.I feel some recompense should have been offered and we were all surprised it wasn?t.As we came a good way to go for this meal it was a disappointing experience.Parking: No lighting
