We?ve passed this pub a few times and it?s always looked inviting. Hi we?re the reviews have always been terrible so never stopped. We gave it a go after a long walk and craved a pie and chips. Barman was helpful and friendly and pub is nice and clean. It wasn?t overly busy but it was Saturn January. The food was just what we wanted,l after a long walk, warming and tasty country pub food. This pub is probably suffering from historical bad reviews which are not deserved

We needed a quick meal enroute home and this pub was open just after Christmas. Had scampi and chips with a 1/2 beer. Perfect bar snack and dogs were allowed too.

Went here for a bite to eat for the first time in 18 months being locked down. Very expensive for what is effectively pub grub+. Italian food in an English pub just doesn?t seem to work that well. Not convinced we were C-19 compliant with table spacing, and staff were wandering around without masks at times. Wouldn?t go back.

Went in with friends and family for a drink and possibly a meal. A fussy flappy man (manager?) firstly flapped his hands and had a lady with a pram move supposedly out of his way, then immediately started trying to shoo me to another part of the room trying to make out he couldn't get past when in fact all he needed to do was simply walk around me taking him literally one step to the side. He then loudly announced that they were fully booked in the dining room, (not that we had asked). At that point we decided to walk out! A most unwelcoming rubbish experience totally unnecessary to be so rude. We won't be going back! Went to the Horse and Jockey at Manton instead - what a difference, they provided a warm welcome with excellent friendly service, superb food and drink.

This is a really nice pub in a village location. The wine selection was a little too limited for us but the food was really good and reasonably priced.

Arrived after a birthday paper chase with family a d friends. Upon entering, whilst we we still getting our bearings, just found our way into the bar when a portly white haired elderly fellow came down some stairs (owner, manager, landlord?), and started flapping his hands as if he were shooing chickens in a farm yard at a young mother with a pram (not part of our group), whom he apparently wanted out of his path, no sooner had he shooed her out of his way then he started on me, flapping and shooing . He literary had to take one step around me, there was plenty of space, or he could have simply said " excuse me please" like any normal person let alone a host, but no, flap flap flap with his fingers before loudly announcing that the resteraunt was fully booked, (not that anyone had asked or indeed said anything). At this point we turned around and left the premises. In conclusion if you wish to be shooed around like farmyard poultry and have questions you have haven't asked loudly answered then this is the place for you, on the other hand if you would like to be treated with a modicum of respect, politeness or made to feel welcome then I would advise going elsewhere. We went to the Horse snd Jockey at Manton at the other end of Rutland Water and had a much better experience.

Excellent food with a warm reception from the staff. Vastly improved with the new management in place and I look forward to my next visit.

Always passed by this place on the way to somewhere else. This time we were on our way back and needed dinner. I'm glad we stopped!Warm welcome from staff. Taken to a window table with views over the village.Massive choice on the menu. My wife chose the fish and chips. I and our son chose pizzas.Considering we had just been on a seaside holiday the fish and chips were better than we'd had by the sea. The pizzas were on clearly hand made bases, with very full toppings. All meals were very tasty. Excellent value as well.We'll be stopping off again in the future. Recommended.

I?ve been here a few times now and wow!The food was absolutely beautiful: the burgers are beautifully cooked, the pizza?s are some of the best I?ve ever had (better than Dominos in my opinion), and the brownie is to die for.I found the service to be both friendly and efficient. I didn?t feel at all ignored but I also didn?t feel hovered over and it was a perfect balance.My only complaint is that I can?t go every day! Well done to all the management and staff for creating such a treasure of a village pub :)
