Fabulous cosy pub, lovely decor and absolutely delicious food and amazing service, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, I had the Mediterranean tart, absolutely scrumptious, hubby had fish and chips which he also enjoyed, we look forward to a return visit in the near future.

Lovely lunch - family with 2 kids. Food was great (with an extensive kids menu) and service was great - attentive and fast.
Would thoroughly recommend.

Good pub with good beer, visited on a relatively quiet weekday evening, last orders called about 10 so felt obliged to supp up and leave. Would visit again.

Book Sunday lunch on the spur of the moment, what a great choice.
The staff are welcoming, friendly and very helpful.
We decided on roast beef which came with a huge, great tasting Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, summer vegetables and a side of cauliflower cheese.
The food was served hot and tasted amazing.
The cost was very reasonable and excellent value for money.
I highly recommend this venue which is well worth a visit.

Really lovely old pub in a small idyllic village. Very well kept, with friendly staff. Interesting and varied food choices that were bought out fast and tasted excellent. Good prices too.

A pleasant pub. The service was good with friendly efficient staff. The pub has clearly been refurbished, but it's kept a traditional feel. The food was workaday, it'll fill you up, it's reasonably tasty but lacked that fresh cooked quality one expects from a small pub.

Lovely dinner here, garlic prawns gorgeous, as was the Scampi - the crème brûlée was not good, hopefully the recipe can be changed, the flavour was lacking and it was too 'thick/stodgy' but the overall service, drink selection warrants a 5 star rating, we will be back.

A lovely local pub. That is very welcoming.
We visited for dinner Saturday night. The food was lovely. Service was good.
