This is in a very rustic old building which has a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. We had a long wait for food and service but the restaurant was busy so that was to be expected.

This is an awesome pub with hard working efficient staff. Good food, interesting main courses, amazing atmosphere. You can't beat a drink in front of the open fire on a winter's day.

A pub of nooks and crannies with a fireplace where you could roast a pig. Good beer but noted a lot of tables were reserved for later in the day ( Sunday at 12 when I visited). A wide variety on the menu, with Sunday lunch through to Osterich steaks.

Fab food and a great range of dishes and specials at decent prices. Service was a bit slow, they seem to be trying to recruit more staff, which would help. It was cold in there though, we had to keep coats on. There was a small log fire in one room but that wasn't enough to heat the whole place and the windows are all single glazed. It's an historic building, I get that, and a pretty one at that. But no excuse not to have a big roaring log fire (or three!) on a cold day.

Really nice old English pub with a fire. Couldn't fault it in any way. We need to keep these lovely old traditional pubs going.

Christopher Beaumont

Great pub. Lovely food + massive portions of chips. The gent running front of house was switched on but was struggling to train his new and rather feckless staff members. Added to the charm of the place!Vegetarian options: Many vegan options.Kid-friendliness: Well-behaved kids and families welcome.

We have not visited for several years ago, when we thought the food was good but prices a touch high. Now, I think that other places have increased their prices more than the GH. Very comfortable, rustic country pub: it can be a little chilly on cold winter days, but perfect if you can grab a spot by the fire as we did today. Ignore the printed menus and check out the extensive blackboard list of very original dishes, with a very impressive vegan choice. Also daily specials: today, beef stew and dumplings (obviously enjoyed by someone on nearby table), or an impressive venison pie which we had, both at £12.50. Included sides plentiful, fresh, and served in separate dishes. Order at the bar, but service at the table was perfectly timed (no long wait but no rush either), friendly people. One small issue, item involved immediately removed from the bill without a request. We will not leave it as long before we return! Small gripe: "service not included", when food and drinks must be ordered at the bar, but tips are at customers' discretion after all.

Delicious food, attentive service and cosy seats next to log fire. We felt very welcome. Particularly recommend the ostrich steak. A lovely New Year’s Eve meal.
