Called in for lunch. Food was good.Service came with a smile, which goes a long way towards an enjoyable meal.It's always nice to know the history of old establishments like this and Brooke was very enthusiastic and happy to share her knowledge.Would happily recommend, and will definitely return

It's so sad, this was an amazing little place which felt a part of the community.We visited today, our "welcome" was "sit anywhere" and a couple of menus dropped on the table followed by "Have you decided" some time later. The staff member sat on a bench out of sight throughout the entire meal so when the steak on the stone arrived, on a stone that wasn't hot enough to cook it, we waited a while to spot someone to help and it was a long time before we finally got up and realized the only member of staff was sat over in the corner.The steak went back to the kitchen and the same portion came back on a hotter stone. The quality of meat was poor, and the staff offered a discount by 10 pounds, but then discounted by 10% and changed when I queried.Why I've given two stars, the homemade steak pie was "ok" and the homemade chilli was nice.It will be a long time before we return - once loyal customers.

Went with Family of 5 ordered food,4 came then waited one & half hrs for bowl of uncooked veg soup for my mother of which came when everyone else had eaten. there's, 3 young people running the place clueless.thought I would shop local never again. I use to love the place but definitely gone downhill even the donkey wouldn't have eaten the carrots in the soup they where rock hard.

Wont be returning, recently dined here and chose the steak swinging kebab, I felt like I was eating a tyre steak was chewy like rubber, awful. There must have also been a shortage of chips aswell I had about 8 chips, ridiculous.

Very nice food and good service. I would not pay attention to the 1 star reviews below. We all had different options and all want to return again!

we dined at the village store over the weekend and i have to say the service was ok but the food was really bad!.Our chicken was cold and the sizzler wasn’t nice at all!.chewy chicken in a thick chilli sauce,not pleasant at all.I also opted for the sticky toffee pudding for desert which came basically cold Shame as we were told good things about this place.

I came to the village stores for food tonight. It was pretty quiet and no atmosphere at all. The menu was extensive with lots of choice but I plumped for the special a so called sizzler. Unfortunately there was nothing special about it. The chicken and vegetables were boiled in a sweet chilli sauce and there was no sizzle!. The meat was chewy and rubbery and just tasted awful. The veg was watery and over cooked and the whole thing was just unappetising. unfortunately we will not be coming back any time soon!!!!

I had the Eggs Benedict which was one of the best I have ever had. Absolute delicious. This was my first visit but definitely won’t be my last.

Travelling on business from Nottingham I found this place on Google.Staff are super friendly and the place has a real 'old world charm' while being nicely contemporary. Breakfast was excellent and very nice coffee.I would certainly recommend this place
