First of all the positives. Staff were very attentive and cheery. Their chips are divine. Ambiance is old pub style but I kept getting wiffs of cigarette smoke and I could only guess that it was coming from the kitchen and I wondered if staff were smoking outside in the back of the kitchen and a through draft was fetching it into the pub? Some of the pricing of meals is a little off. My wife left lighter in the pocket as well as the stomach. This was mainly due to the couscous (which appeared to be from a microwaveable bag - very cheap) being fiery after we expressly checked with staff as to the degree of heat which was supposed to be mild. So, my wife ended up with some pulled chicken (much smaller than a breast) and a bit of bread. A McChicken sandwich for under £2 would have been just as filling. So, would we be travelling all the way out there again? No fear. Overpriced for what it is.

Amazing food cooked by the head chef Darren Hewkin. We both had the steak. One rump and one sirloin. Both melted in the mouth. The chips were so tasty. We are booked in again for the fish and chips on Friday. The pub has a lovely friendly atmosphere.

A very friendly and welcoming pub. Whilst the service is great and the atmosphere is warm; ideally the pub and facilities (toilets!) need renovating, or at the very least a very deep and ongoing clean. The carpet is really worn on the threshold to the rear outside space. The outside space is also a missed opportunity. It could be beautiful. However the furniture is mis-matched, uncomfortable and old. Loads of room for growth! Also, when there are lots of people sat around the bar it?s really awkward to order. Something to think about.

Food was very good with good sized portions. And Odie the dog enjoyed his meal too.

Cracking Sunday dinner, both the beef and gammon was fresh and nicely cooked. Mash was excellent, washed down with a Hawkstone, what could be better!

To say this is high end prices, I would say it was mediocre at best.
Service was friendly.
Sunday lunch not great, very limited veg unless you purchase extras which we did. Stuffing, Cauli Cheese and Pigs in Blankets.
Three of us, 2 courses each, 1 round of drinks (one non alcoholic) and £140 lighter. I would have expected better so unfortunately will not be returning.

Lovely country pub environment despite being close by. Food is very good. Service first class. Not the cheapest but that?s fine. You pay for what you get.

Visited at lunchtime and enjoyed the food in a lovely country pub. However we didn't realise a 10%service charge would be added. When paying at the bar and getting the receipt at the bar i didn't get chance to check the bill. I feel we should have been asked before paying. I'm sure others have been caught out aswell. Spoilt a nice lunch.
