Really sweet cosy country-fied pub, loads of parking, very clean, staff are very friendly & food was overall very good. My partners burger was unfortunately undercooked but the staff did apologize and take it off the bill which was kind! Will definitely come back again & definitely recommendDietary restrictions: There's several different menu variations of you have any dietary requirements which is great ??

We went along for the quiz night last week. It was great fun. Really lovely landlady and staff - very friendly and warm. Nice atmospheric pub. Good beer and sprit selection. Didn't eat - but the menu looks good so we will be back.

Booked in for Sunday lunch last week to treat my two elderly friends. Lots of choice on the meal and dessert menus. We left there full a d satisfied.

Booked for Sunday lunch as we like to try different places rather than cook on a Sunday. We have been here a few times before so we knew we could expect a nice meal and friendly welcome and we were not disappointed. I like the fact that they do smaller size meals as I cannot eat a full size portion so having this saves wasting food. The food was well cooked and well presented - I had roast beef with the fiery horseradish sauce lol and my wife had the roast turkey), the only minor point was that the food could have been served slightly hotter. We did bring this to the attention of one of the servers when she cleared the table. Desert was great, cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding. Plenty of parking here and a friendly welcome with great food in a lovely rural location, whats not to like.

Christmas lunch. Very disappointed. We had 2. 00pm sitting. Most diners had already eaten so therefore the resurant lacked atmosphere. We were rushed throughout. The food was not of the standard we expected for the price we paid. Not the best experience we were expecting. We enjoyed each other's company and didn't have to do the washing up. Which was the positive attitude we went home with.

Had a lovely, relaxed meal here during storm Babet. Service was friendly and efficient; the food was excellent; and reasonably priced. Decided to take the desert home as the weather was worsening. No problem. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

We stayed at the caravan site for 5 nights Lovely little site very peaceful. We had two meals at the pub. The food is delicious and we highly recommend the cow pie. Jacqui and Kerri were the perfect hosts. We would definitely return if we were in the area

Have never been to this pub before as recently moved to Horncastle and we have devised a list of all the pubs to visit. We have visited a few since moving, but this far outweighs the others. I am gluten and dairy intolerant and the DO catered for all my needs, the dishes for both needs were amazing. Food normally is bland and poorly presented, but not in this case, the taste was amazing and presentation was the same as I would expect from a high end restaurant.We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, that we booked in for the following week with friends. Staff very polite and friendly it was a pleasure being in their company.I could go on raving about this gem but I will stop, but it won't be our last visit that's for sure.Dietary restrictions: Gluten and Dairy Free.Husband - all in ?

Visited with friends Lovely traditional pub with a beer garden and parking. Short walk from Horncastle so easy to walk from town there is a path so safe to walk once it’s dark. Waitress that served us was very friendly and helpful. Good selection of pub grub. Drinks were reasonable priced too. The restaurant was not busy with only one other table so was surprised when forced to order when one of the parties guest had not arrived. Enjoyed the outside seating area lights could do with staying on a little later than 9:30pm wasn’t a problem as we sat with phone lights on, to be fair waitress welcomed us to sit in to finish our drinks. Would be nice to have heaters so can make the most of cooler evenings.
