Our new local. Friendly, unspoiled by screens, rotating selection of cask ales, welcoming hosts. Super food and a regularly changed menu with options for vegans and willingness to cater for allergies and intolerances. All you need for a great village pub.Vegetarian options: Risotto is superb

Visited for lunch, it was cold outside and it would have been nice to have a fire lit to give some ambiance. However we were welcomed and the menu though limited had good choices for us. Two of us had the fish and chips which was very good. The others had the duck but asked for the fondant potato to be changed to Dauphinois which the chef kindly agreed to. It came with roasted veg and was absolutely delicious.

I think when you visit a place you have never been to it's important to shop local, and eat local today this is more important if we are to keep some great pubs going. I really enjoyed the food here, the friendly nature of a pub goes along way when you walk in and it has loads here, Run by a lovely young couple the menu is simple good value and honest food, delicious and plentiful. A warm welcome good wine and beer and excellent food. If you are visiting Buckingham or Stowe School you will love this place for it's charm. Watch out for their little helper who is adorable.. we will be back for sure. thanks for a lovely lunch the other day.

Friendly staff, good honest food, relaxed atmosphere, bar is dog friendly. We visited on a November Friday evening and it was quiet, no booking required.

Off the beaten track but definitely worth the trip through beautiful countryside and stunning villages. Sunday lunch was superb - I had roast sirloin of beef with beautifully sweet roasted carrots, crisp roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding filled with bacon and sprouts.The extensive burger menu was appreciated especially by the chilli fan in our family. The kids menu was great.Puddings didn't disappoint with sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie particularly good.This place has a chilled out atmosphere in which locals gather at the bar and visitors like us with kids were equally welcome. All 6 of us rated it a great Sunday lunch.Dietary restrictions: Menu was clearly marked with gluten free options etc.Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming for kids. There is a kids menu and our waitress was very accommodating as my slightly fussy kids asked for variations on the burgers.

Lovely pub in this small tucked away village. What a find! Visited on Sunday. It was too hot for roast for me so I had the fish and chips which were delicious. My husband and friends had the roast and it looked delicious! Will be returning!
