Fantastic Saturday afternoon late lunch early dinner for family with 8 of us (2 kids)Shared starters (got to try the Squid, excellent!), amazing mains and deseerts were fatastic as well. All staff from each area were also spot on, friendly, welcoming and very professional. We havent been for years but will be back very soon, I would highly recommend this to anyone in two minds about going.

What a gem of a place. I work in hospitality so I'm always very aware of food and service and can honestly say this place was just lovely. From the place itself to the gorgeous food and our server 'Owen' who was so lovely and made us feel so welcome and a young lady (sorry we didn't get her name) who served our food. Also its dog friendly there which is so nice! Highly recommended!?

What a great find this was on a Monday evening. I wasn’t sure from the outside appearance but was surprised to find a great interior with excellent ‘pub grub’ fayre. Surprised how many people were eating early on a Monday evening. Very enjoyable, many

The moment you walk in you are greeted by lovely and pleasant staff. The food was absolutely delicious, good size portions and for once I could not even manage a dessert. The restaurant is so lovely with the beautiful decor and the cosy fires. We had a table booked for 12 of us and we preordered our meals which was good as we did not have to wait long for our food. I have never been before but I will be definitely returning ?

Dropped in late on a Monday evening for a first-class homemade pie&mash and a pint.While the food is excellent, the stand-out thing about this place is the service, specifically the fact that it's clear that the staff really care about making the place work well. On the night I was there, one of the front of house staff was at the bar on her night off, but couldn't stop herself from jumping up and down to do the things that she saw were needed. It really gives a great impression.

I booked a table for three of us. We all decided we weren't really hungry so we ordered bacon, brie and cranberry wrap, but one in bloomer bread. We asked for the bacon to be well done and crispy. We also ordered two bowls of chips. One with hand cut chunky chips and one sweet potato chips. We were all pleased with the food but couldn't eat all the chips. Luckily service was slow and we had some time before we ordered dessert. We ordered two apple and cinnamon crumbles and one mango cheesecake. Again we enjoyed our food. I would have given 5 stars but the apple and cinnamon crumbles didn't have enough cinnamon and the mango cheesecake not enough mango and a bit too sweet. Possibly too much white chocolate. But we will probably go there again and try something else!

Not able to fully express how outstanding our experience was here. The food was exceptional, the guy who served us was really friendly and was happy to pass on his local knowledge, inside we felt so comfortable and the wood burner is lovely.

Great place to visit warm and friendly staff. although I've given the food 5star I haven't tried yet but seen food go out and looks very nice. Member of staff Dan is very helpful with anything you need.if you want somewhere that is relaxing and in a countryside setting then this is the place to visit.

Exceptionally good food, really friendly staff and a welcoming atmoshphere.It is a dog friendly pub with a laid back feel, but the staff were always attentive.We will definetly return if in the area again as it is the best pub we have been too for a very long time.

Third time of visiting after work, coming from work after a hard day in my physically demanding job just looking for a nice cold pint and some nice warm food in a welcoming pub. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO FOR THAT. They are discriminatory against work lads & instead of being honest they come up with excuses of why they cannot serve us food. Disgusting. Honesty goes along way in this world. Disgusting

It took twenty minutes for our order to be taken and after forty five minutes we still had not received our meal, kitchen had forgotten us. Have eaten here a number of times but today will be the last. Service was appalling and food quality was not what It had been on previous visits. Landlady very apologetic and didn't charge for either our drinks or meal but I wasn't angling for a Free Be a decent meal and service was all that I required. Blue Lion you did yourselves no favours
