After a long drive back home after a nice family weekend away, we stopped off for a rest bite and to freshen up. Upon entry asked the bar maid if we could use the lavatory, was told yes, and was helpfully pointed in the right direction. Upon returning however my old and disabled mother was set up on, what could only be described as an awful, spiteful, vicious bar prop, who thought it right to treat passer bys in the most awful and disgusting manner. Which is a shame, as we WAS going to stop for a hot drink potentially. But after the most rude women I've ever come across had verbally ASSULTED, us, only to also be Proved wrong by the bar maid about her VILE attack, we thought best of staying on, and just carried on home. Truly awful despicable customers ruining what was hoped to be a nice stop off, wouldn't recommend any outsiders stopping off her, seems to be expected that it's a "local pub, for local people".

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the owner when a child needed to use the rest room, I could hear her shouting at the mother of the Child from the other room, the lady explained she asked her staff first and they had said yes, she continued shouting that her staff wouldn't say yes to that, when the staff member spoke up saying she said it was OK for the young child to use the rest room no apologie was offerd to the woman! The owner continued with her vile rant large glass of wine in hand as the shocked woman and upset child walked out! Disgusting

Popped in for a quick half - lovely traditional pub with a very friendly land lady.This place is everything you could want from a village pub.

Great country pub for country people. If you don’t like the countryside stay away. We will be back to support you doing what you do best ??

First appearances were very good - handsome look pub in pleasant surroundings. However the experience within was a bit odd - staff seemed distracted fiddling with phones and it did feel a bit 'League of Gentlemen' with some oddly animated customers. Fearing I might be burned by a Tubbs and Edward double act I fled for my life. The pint I had was somewhat underwhelming but I moved on to the nearby Star Inn for respite.

I would leave 0 reviews if I could. I will not step foot in any pub that supports the local hunt! Supporting illegal fox hunting by hosting the hunt meet is a disgusting way to make your money!

Maria Langridge

Really friendly caring staff. Don't believe the malicious reviews that have been posted by ignorant ppl who haven't even taken the time to do their research. ?

Ignore the vile hunt sabs reviews. They’ve likely never been to the countryside, never mind stepped in this wonderful looking pub!
