First time we've been here and will certainly be dining here again. Food and service excellent.

The pub is lovely when all lit up from the outside. Lovely log burners in the bar and part of the restaurant. Staff all very friendly and extremely helpful. Food was lovely but selection very limited. The big downside for us was the section closest to the road in the restaurant, it was very cold with no heating. We asked to move into the main area which was lovely closer to the log burner. Unfortunately we couldnt move as there was a large dog right next to an empty table for 4!!! Downside to dogs in restaurant areas which impacted on us and our 9 year son. My wife had to wear her coat in the end.

Excellent homemade steak and ale pie, with triple cooked chips. Sandwich from lunchtime menu was very generous.Beer was good.

Visited with a friend, after hearing good things after it reopened. Beautiful pub and setting, what a lovely location. Plenty of parking and it is amazing inside. The food was fantastic, had the steak and ale pie, friend had the fish. Service was also top notch, very professional and attentive. Made it feel like you were in a very posh restaurant! Prices were very reasonable. Completely recommend this place, definitely returning!

Lovely food, great place, good service. Atmosphere quiet but in fairness it was a Tuesday night & not so busy as would be the case on other days.
Bit challenged on this one - it most likely lands at 3.5 not 3 but here's our reasons. We stayed in the accommodation across the road, so it was an easy choice to eat here. The food was ok. I had a chicken burger and my partner the pie. Chicken burger was decent but the kimchi coleslaw was tasteless. The pie was ok, but the greens were extremely salty and couldn't be eaten (just to point out we are not fussy eaters). What was most difficult to work out was the service. It seemed very confusing. Firstly I was put on the backfoot when the lady said she couldn't find us on the system. Panic set in thinking I had booked the wrong day. I checked my phone and showed her my confirmation email, to which 2 other members of staff had to come and find us on the system - no apology offered. We ordered and when our food arrived we didn't get the usual 5 minute later check in to see if our food was ok - which I think is a curtesy that all pubs/restaurant's follow. We were served by 3 different people, so lost that personal attention you normally get. I had mentioned on my booking that it was my partners birthday celebration and whilst we were not expecting a cake, I was asked by one of the staff if it was my partners birthday whilst I was on the way to toilet. I was expecting them to come over and wish her happy birthday or something but nothing. What was the point of asking me... when it was her birthday - very strange. The ambience was unusual to say the least. The menu is very limited and if its competing against other places to eat, I imagine that's going to be an issue. No specials at all. My suggestion would be to have a bar menu, and cater for that crowd, and/or an ala cartre gastro menu for diners. It feels like its trying to be a bit of everything. Look, it wasnt a bad experience and the place has lots of potential, we just left feeling rather bemused.

When we arrived we were shown to our table and were asked if we would like to order drinks, which we had delivered shortly afterwards. After waiting around 15 minutes for someone to take our food order we attracted the Restaurant Manager's attention to say we were ready, and were told that there was a backup in the kitchen, so there was no point taking our order as it wouldn't come any quicker. Why didn't someone tell us this before we ordered a bottle of wine? We then gave her our order. After waiting a further 35 minutes without any communication we decided to leave. By this time we had been sat at the table for 50 minutes. We asked for the bill and informed the Manager (a lady) why we were leaving, and at that point another Manager, an American man came over and started to get aggresive in his attitute and was remonstrating with us. He never once offered an apology. Judging by the reaction of another member of staff, who heard what had gone on, this didn't appear to be unusual and they actually apologised to us as we left. It's a shame we won't be going back whilst under the current management, as we alsways like to support local pubs when they are first starting out.

Great food, great service and reasonably priced. Our second visit this month and I would highly recommend this pub for family lunches.

Pre-booked lunch in restaurant area. Bright and airy space, tables well separated. We had mussels and terrine to start, both went for the pheasant for main and far too full for anything else! Beautifully cooked meals, good portion size and nicely presented. House pale ale was also very nice. Service was really good, attentive without being too fussy, and very friendly. We'll be back again soon!
