Delicious Christmas meal. I had the Turkey roulade which is nice and every part of the meal was Devine. I followed this with the popcorn cheesecake which was very tasty. The staff were very efficient and attmosphere lovely.

Great food, great atmosphere on a date night with my girlfriend. The food was just great and the lambs liver was delightful. A romantic night just perfect for couples.

Lovely place been renovated wonderful after a terrible fire. Food exelant and good choice.Sat in window alcove so family could all talk without desterbing other dinners. Staff very good, one of our party hasa food alergy and the chef found a dish which she could eat. Very well done.

Nice place. Food was just okay but disappointing for a place with such a good reputation. Not many vegetables for a group of 8 and just a dribble of custard on what we're supposed to be warm puddings. These issues were raised at the time and bill was reduced but still the quality was not good enough and 8 future customers have been lost

Love, love, love this pub. All the staff are super friendly. The food and wines are amazing. Big portions for the Sunday roasts and amazing quality. Can't recommend it enough.

Went for dinner at fairly short notice but had no trouble booking a table. Nice warm welcome by the the staff member who also took our order, she was friendly and attentive. Fish and chips are lovely and the cheesecake was very yummy. Moved to a quieter area to finish our drinks and have a coffee which was a nice little area. Would definitely like to go again in the future.

Avoid if you have dietary requirements.Had a family meal here on Sunday, all those with non dietary requirements had an easy time. Informed restaurant 7pm the night before arriving that I am dairy free and was told I would be accommodated. I couldn’t inform them any sooner as I have a 3 month old baby. Baring in mind bottom of the menu says please make waitress aware at time of placing order…Roast arrived with just roast potatoes and meat. Had the beef which I do recommend as was still rare in the middle. My veg was forgotten had to ask waitress, couldn’t have the same veg as everyone else apparently, I was given peas (which I don’t like), broccoli stem (which I also don’t like) and cauliflower. Everyone else had parsnips carrots broccoli and cauliflower cheese.There were No deserts I could have was told I could bring my own. Was charged £2.50 for a scoop of ice cream placed next to desert brought. Those who had apple pie at my table said it arrived barely warm.A lovely warm and friendly environment though, it’s just such a shame I felt like I was such a massive problem.Probably great if you don’t have such a large booking or any dietary requirements.

**This review has been deleted on google** We had a booking for 12:30pm and arrived early at 12pm. The restaurant was empty but for a handful of diners. The waitress placed us on the worst table for two in the pub. She asked if this table was ok. I said no can we be moved to the table on the other side of the partition wall which was empty. She said no because someone has asked for the table when booking. However there was no reserved table sign on the table. The other tables of two which were better located were all empty as well. I am Indian so did she display unconscious racism by placing us on the worst table. When all the other tables for two were empty. I showed my disappointment in her placing us at this table when the restaurant was empty. She came back be placed us on another table for two which was on the other side of the partition.After when other white customers for a table of 2 came into the restaurant, they were not placed on the bad table which we were placed on. Even two old white ladies who were there before us weren’t seated at this bad table which is in a pathway to the other tables. They had arrived before us.I would understand if the pub was busy and then given this bad table. But to offer the bad table to the brown customer is bad practice. I think it’s unfair to be treated this way because of their unconscious racism. This did ruin the meal for me. This was our first time in Bicker. We were on our way to Sandringham for the Robbie Williams concert.

Absolute gem of a little find for us on our break away in the area , we visited 3 times in the week we loved it that much . Food was exceptional , service was impeccable and the ambience is wonderful . The beer garden is one of the best we have visited Thank you so much to the lovely owner and all of the staff for making our stay that extra bit special We will be back xx

Visited the first time just passing as we were new to the area, and the pub was pretty quiet. There was just the 2 of us but were told they didn't have any tables available. The lady who we spoke to was quite stand-offish and didn't feel very welcome to even stay for a drink. Tried again a couple months later and made a booking this time. The food was very delicious and presentation was good. We were sat to the right hand side of the pub and was the only table in there, nearer the end of our meal and felt like we were forgotten about, kept a lookout for someone to ask for more drinks and dessert which took a while. Felt as if we were in the way. Fantastic food, and lovely country pub building but the customer service and warm welcome is much to be desired.

Came here for my mums birthday the past two years, this time we were greeted with a birthday banner and card for my mum at the table which was a lovely touch that she very much appreciated. The pub is dog friendly, they put some water out next to our table for our dog which was very kind. The food was delicious, you can tell it’s all made with fresh produce, very tasty, presentation also great! The service was excellent, Beccy and the team were extremely accommodating and my mum couldn’t speak highly enough of the place the food and staff. Excellent trip out would recommend to anybody. Thank you for making my mums birthday such a great day out.

Had a wonderful 3 course meal here on my birthday. The food was delicious, spoilt for choice. Service was friendly and efficient … with a nice touch of a card and candle to celebrate my special day! Thank you for making it feel special. Would most definitely recommend.

Great spot for a pint and the burger was fantastic. The waitresses were charming despite their matching shirts and the owner was very welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!
