We came for Easter Sunday lunch and the place was packed! The food was incredibly tasty. Good portion size and we felt full when we left (as you should when you've had a roast!) An adult roast was between £16-£19, which is a little more expensive than we'd usually pay, but you absolutely pay for what you get! The kids menu was good value, 3 courses for £10....same amazing quality. Did I mention the Easter Chocolate Heaven pudding? *Chefs kiss!!Vegetarian options: There was a specials board for vegan and vegetarians. There were at least three vegan mains. They sounded delicious!Kid-friendliness: Kids menu £10 for three courses on a Sunday lunch. Not sure about other times.

Excellent sunday roast and dessert. Clearly, Lucy is the talented chef. This is by far the best roast that i have ever. Service is attentive but not stuffy. Jon is very helpful and always on his fast feet. Thank

OUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS BRILLIANT IN THIS PROPER FRIENDLY COUNTRY PUB... I HAD PRE BOOKED A TABLE FOR LUNCH FOR MY 27 GUESTS... ON THE DAY WE ALL RECEIVED A FRIENDLY WELCOME AND IT WAS WARM AND COZY WITH THE LOG FIRE ADDING TO THE EXPREIENCE... I DO PUB LUNCHES ABOUT 20 TIMES A YEAR AND THEIRS HAS TO BE ONE OF THOES WITH THE MOST FLAVOUR OF THEM ALL... I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED MANY GOOD COMMENTS REGARDING ALL OF THE FRIENDLY YOUNG STAFF, THE ACTUAL MEALS, AND A LOT OF PRAISE FOR JON THE LANDLORD, SUCH AS, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, CONSIDERATE, ATTENTION GIVEN TO ALL, VERY NICE GENTLEMAN... I AM PROUD THAT I CHOOSE THE COACH AND HORSES FROM THE SATISFACTION OF MY GUESTS... SO A WARM WELCOME, LOVELY STAFF, TASTY FOOD AND A VERY PLESANT LANDLORD.... "I'LL BE BACK".

Cannot thank Jon and his whole team for their kindness, patience and professionalism, we had our mums wake over the pub yesterday and they closed it for us for a couple of hours, the food was delicious and it was so lovely to catch up with our family and mums friends without worrying that we might be taking over, it was so relaxed and Jon even managed to get mums video working on his laptop, thankyou so much you were all wonderful x x x x

Loving this place to meet friends for lunch. Great menu and good value in a really clean and comfy pub.Vegetarian options: The Budda Bowl is a substantial lunch and I had the small plate version.... loved it!

We had a party of 6 for mothers day lunch, we got there on time the rest of our party was 10 mins late the waitress came over to us asking how long rest of party would b as can only have the table for 2 hours before the next sitting comes in, it was then mentioned again as the rest of our party arrived which were only 10mins late and then the waitress come straight over and wanted our food order and we hadnt had chance to look at the menu she was very forceful and rude saying she had to get these food orders in, the food was ok i had roast dinner but nothing wow about it and it did cost £17 i will not be going back due to the rudeness and how the 10 mins late was handled i would like to add we actually left on time and had 3 courses

Table booked for Sunday roast. Was really looking forward to this meal. Ordered food and had to wait an hour for it to arrive no service while waiting and staff are rude won’t be going back.

Great atmosphere, pleasant staff BUT I went home hungry. I'm not normally a big eater, I ordered the haddock which was nicely cooked but the portion are tiny. My son in law ordered the lamb and again his portion was pathetic as was the one spoonful of mash that was served.Parking: Na

This is the second time we've been for Sunday lunch and it's been spectacular both times. Best roast dinner in the area by some distance and lovely ales too. A real gem.

WORST EXPERIENCE!!!! Do not give your money to this pub. The service was VERY slow, taking 25minutes to place an order, and then in total it took nearly an hour to get some sandwiches which were VERY average.As a paying customer I would expect to not be shouted at by the ‘boss’ when I was speaking to one of the bar staff, just asking how long it will be until we get our food. He shouted at me infront of the whole pub and very embarrassingly for him infront of other paying customers. He then accused me of making up stories as I was leaving too and carried on shouting at me still.I would NEVER visit again and will be advising anyone I know not to. Word of advice to the ‘boss’, don’t work in customer facing roles if you have no manners and speak down to women.
Great pint of Justinian. And an amazing pizza from visiting Bonne Fire Box Pizza.

Had the soup and the porchetta 'chorizo & sausage meat stuffed pork belly, dauphinoise potatoes, greens (tenderstem broccoli) and aspalls jus'. Both were excellent. My wife ate from the main menu and particularly recommends the chowder. Pub was warm, busy and service excellent. (Bit of bias, we live in the village..)

This was my second time giving them a chance after an awful experience last year - will never eat here again as a vegan. Very lazy, uninspired vegan (options) - one of which for some reason included dairy mozzarella cheese!? Please consider getting a chef with at least a TINY bit of experience cooking vegan food. It'll open up your clientele, especially in veganuary! When your only options are a pepper stack, a hot salad, a cold salad, or chips.. in 2024, there is no excuse. Ended up ordering a Buddha bowl which again, was very bland. Things from jars just emptied onto a plate with the tiniest bit of tahini dressing. I don't want to go for a meal somewhere to pay £17 for something I could've made so much better and so much cheaper at home. Defeats the purpose of going out for dinner, which is supposed to be a treat.

Although the food was excellent, I specifically booked the restaurant for my party of six for lunch, but on arrival, was told we needed to sit in the bar as the restaurant hadn't been laid up from a function the night before. After trying to squash us on a table only big enough for four and our complaining we're moved to another table right near the door which we were not too happy about. While eating our food the same thing happened to another party that came in behind us. To my mind, if you have a restaurant and take bookings, then you should honour it.
