Came on a quiet Tuesday night for dinner. The pub itself is lovely, not as run down as people have made it sound. Staff was great, very attentive. Food was all very nice and fresh, had the Pie of the day which was steak and ale, lots of steak! The desserts all looked great too, but was too stuffed from the main (food portions!) to have one. Will be back.

We were recommended this restaurant by a friend. When we arrived we instantly thought we'd made the wrong choice. The place does look a bit dull and run down. Upon entering the restaurant we all looked at each other and almost turned around to walk out. The place is very tired looking and has the feel of a local pub rather than someone that sells good food. The service was a bit hit and miss. We asked for a drinks menu but were told they don't have one. I couldn't for the life of me fathom why on earth a pub/restaurant wouldn't have a drinks menu for diners. The girl working there took our drinks orders and brought them over. We waited for what seemed like an eternity for someone to come over to take our food order. Eventually one member of our party went up to the bar and asked if we could order some food.Luckily we decided to stay, as we knew the place has good ratings on Google, and our friend has told us the food was really good. We are glad that we made the decision to stay, as the food was very good. Everything was very hot and fresh, and the portions were a decent size. The only recommendation I have is that the new York deli burger is missing some sort of condiment. I would probably suggest mustard mayonnaise just to finish it off with the cheese pastrami and gherkins. However it was very tasty and we would probably return to eat here again.All in all the service and appearance of the place probably let it down slightly, and if the food wasn't such good quality I would probably give it 3 stars. It seems like there was a lack of attentiveness from staff towards diners. However, once we had their attention, the staff were extremely polite and friendly.Our total bill was £95 for 4 people. This included 4 main courses, 2 sides, and 4 drinks.In all honesty I think the 5 star rating is slightly generous given the appearance both outside and inside, and the attentiveness from staff, and lack of a drinks menu, but these issues were not major enough to warrant deducting anything from the rating. I would say, however, that the initial appearance and ambience when we walked in very nearly made us turn round and walk back out.

Enjoyable food. Quiet but was early lunch. Only just opened. Friendly staff.

We booked a table for Christmas Eve after having had some fantastic lunches here in the past. I ordered goats cheese, blade of beef and minced pie Eton mess, we also had the salmon and turkey amongst others. This is a gem of a place, food was hot, fresh, tasty and plentiful. The chef clearly knows what he’s doing. The bill was reasonable and a good choice of wines. One of the best village pubs out there and we will be back to sample more. After some really bad experiences at other local eateries in this past year this was refreshing and such a lovely experience. Thank you Andy and team!

Fantastic friendly pub with lovely food and atmosphere! We went as a big family party of 10 to celebrate Christmas. We ate from the normal pub menu, rather than the Christmas one. Huge choice of dishes, great selection on the children’s menu too. Service was very prompt and quick throughout the evening, even though they were extremely busy with Christmas parties. We would definitely return again. Very cosy inside with lit fireplaces, Outside there is a huge beer garden and marquee, which we think would be a great summer venue too. We meant to take more photos of the food, but everybody dug in quickly!! All portions were large, and definitely good value for money. The desserts were delicious, too, especially the Eton Mess!! Would recommend booking in advance, as it is a very busy and popular place to go

Just wanted to give a review after our fabulous Christmas party night out with these guys, was fabulous from start to finish, very helpful with booking and of course the food was amazing but it always is, but the stars of the show were the staff, nothing was too much trouble and they were all so lovely, so a big thank you guys and keep up the good work, and any customers thinking of going please be kind, it costs nothing to have manners and treat them with a little respect they deserve it xxxxx

Really pleased we drove past this place, we stopped in and it was great. The atmosphere was excellent everyone was really friendly. Good selection of drinks. We had some snacky food, pigs in blankets, flat bread and humus, and great crisps and chocolate behind the bar. Lovely outside space, which backs on to a work with another playground. Really recommend

Fabulous food and great service. Always friendly and made to feel welcome. This is our restaurant of choice for family gatherings and we are never disappointed. Children love the play area outside.
