Our 1st visit of many, we hope, now we have purchased a holiday home nearby. A beautiful olde world pub. We met an interesting customer who filled us in on his family history( grandson of Fredrick Simms) before we had even ordered drinks . Pub cat (can't remember his name) sleeping on a chair. We didn't eat but the food we saw looked very nice. Under £12 for a pint and a medium wine, which we thought was fair. Just want to add that the candle holder made me think of the nursery rhyme wee Willie winkle ??

I was pleased to visit this pub but after this evening i won't be going again. The food was definitely not a la carte. The salmon was overcooked and greasy and the fish fingers were mainly batter. No Italian Pinot grigio, so I tried a different white wine £11.50 a glass. What a ridiculous price to charge. We also ordered a brandy and ginger ale, but we got a can of ginger beer ??? Then when the bill came, we got charged £14 for service ????DONT go here it's definitely not worth it.

What a beautiful pub, inside and out. Fantastic service too. Hugely welcoming bar staff. Even made our dog welcome with a fresh bowl of water. Good ale and cider selection and the food looked amazing. Will definitely return, hopefully in the sun so we can enjoy the beer garden.

Best Sunday roast “experience” we’ve had. The staff, especially Teresa were welcoming attentive and wonderful. They really made our day. The food was incredible, you certainly get what you pay for.Will be returning shortly.

Small pub/restaurant. Ate Sunday lunch here with family. The owners and staff are fantastic and the decor is a lot of fun as well. They have a small kitchen so the food takes a little time to appear. Sunday portions are right-sized so although I wanted more meat and food I got the right portion. Not as keen on the larger beet offering among the roast veggies hence the 4-star rating. Would recommend.

What a great little pub.Such a cosy n warm atmosphere, from families with children dining to couples tucked away in little nooks of the pub with candles lit making such pretty.little areas. Food was amazing as was the service. We will definitely be returning to try out the roast which also sounds an looks like it's going to be a hit.
Visited for food and a couple of nights in the self-catering accommodation above the pub. The apartment is furnished in a very "interesting" way with period pieces, artwork, and antiques. You will either love it or be alarmed by it. Perhaps have a look at some pictures before you book? Heating fine (although we did have to set the clock on the central heating so that it came on at the programmed times), beds comfortable (but a rather heavy duvet), lighting a bit dim for reading (but plenty of books available), nice kitchen (but rather short on crockery etc., and surprisingly no place that four people could sit to eat any food prepared). Nice pub (and cat) with cocktails and well-cared-for beer. Food hearty (at a full price).

I was fortunate today to be treated to a lovely lunch at The Lantern, by wonderful friends. The food was excellent, the staff were brilliant, Joe in particular was attentive, friendly and professional and the building is so historic, I was hoping the walls could actually talk ! Great atmosphere, roaring log fire, comfy and cosy in beautiful countryside, even on a wet, windy January day. A real olde worlde English country pub. The perfect way to while away a few hours - good friends and good food. What else can you ask for?
