Lovely pub, really nice decor. Met there for a Wednesday business lunch and the service and food were very good. It was quiet, so difficult to comment on the atmosphere but, regardless, a nice place to meet half way. Would do do again.Parking: Gravel carpark with ample space.

We arrived family heavy with 7 adults and 5 lively children to be warmly welcomed and treated to sumptuous food. Thoroughly recommend their hospitality and service.

Very nice roast on Sunday. Beef is cooked a little rare for my liking but there was plenty of it and the service was impeccable.

Never been here before came upon it by chance and thought we’d stop for lunch. So glad we did. The service is exceptional and the food is wonderful. Cooked and presented brilliantly. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The bar is decorated really lovely and everywhere was so clean. Even the entry from the car park to the restaurant is amazing the garden is set out beautifully. Thanks for a lovely visit we will return

We have been been to this inn to eat numerous times. Last night I enjoyed an excellent meal. It seems they had a new menu. For starters i thoroughly enjoyed Korean pancakes and for the main course the slow roast belly pork was delicious. Congratulations to the chef.

Looks good. Drinks expensive. Takes long time to be served at the bar even though only 2 custs waiting. serves who they know 1st rather than 1st come 1st served. Happens every time.

We had Sunday lunch on Fathers Day and overall food and service was great. However, my daughter had the child’s roast chicken dinner and I asked if she could have some pigs in blankets as an extra as they aren’t included on the children’s portion, to which the waitress said “er yes but there will be an extra charge” I said it was fine! When I got the bill I was then charged £2.50 for 2 tiny sausages wrapped in a tiny piece of bacon, which I think was outrageous, I understand places are struggling at the moment, but don’t feel it was necessary to charge £2.50 extra on a Sunday lunch! Also, they need to serve a better selection of vegetables as we had green cabbage, courgettes and carrots and there wasn’t any other options such as cauliflower cheese and etc and definitely need more gravy, or at least have an extra jug of gravy brought out with the lunches. Food tasted great and presentation was lovely, waitress who went to Shipston High was a credit to the pub as chatted to our daughter about the school etc, just a couple of things that let it down.

The place itself is lovely with a good selection of drinks. The food however is abysmal. My starter was bland and made by someone with no concept of flavour or ingredients. Same goes for the main it was a tasteless piece of frozen hake served on a mashed up baked potato with a few capers and spring onions mixed in. £17!!! Unfortunately as you can see from the good reviews this seems to be the standard of food that we think is acceptable in this country. Minimal effort maximum prices. No pride.

We stopped here for a quick lunch as it seemed quite smart. The welcome was ok but the food was average and somewhat overpriced. Batter on my fish was undercooked.

Family lunch to celebrate a big upcoming birthday and a wedding anniversary. Very happy to have well behaved dog with us. Food was really good, excellent choices and ample proportions. Very happy occasion made even better by being within walking distance!
Great atmosphere and good value food and beverages.

We were visiting the area and booked a meal here for six people. All the staff were super friendly. The food was good quality and reasonably priced. It was a late dinner & I think they kept the kitchen open a little bit later for us so we could have desserts.

Fish and chips tastes frozen. Gluten free halloumi, portion too small. Pizza tastes frozen. Steak was passable. Not sure why other reviews are so positive, maybe business was taken over recently.
