We had a fantastic Sunday roast with family today, it was our first time visiting and we were very impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, we ordered the beef and the guinea fowl and my daughter loved her fish and chips. All the serving staff were friendly and helpful and the pub has a cosy, comforting atmosphere.

We had a lovely lunch here today having just searched Google for a pub in the area, I would highly recommend a visit. The staff were absolutely lovely and gave fantastic service. Food was excellent, the petit four were incredible- I took half of it home! Very child friendly.Will definitely return even though we aren’t local. Looks like it will be lovely to sit outside in the summer.

10/10 would recommend to anyone passing through or staying locally. Food was really delicious and the service was great and very friendly. A warm and cosy pub with fireplaces both inside and out for added winter-warmth. Huge outdoor space will make it a must-visit in summer as well!

Got delayed on the way down to my mum's 70th birthday barbecue. 5 and a half hours through pouring rain and heavy traffic. On arrival the burgers had gone stone cold and the potato wedges were looking decidedly finished. Since cold leftover burgers are inedible I requested the barbecue to be re-lit but this was refused. I pointed out I was tired and hungry but there was no let up. I was grudgingly offered reheated burgers from the microwave but this is also unacceptable since if I wanted microwaved burgers I'd have gone for a Rustlers.I was then told that the kitchen closes at 3pm and nothing could be done. Even waiting gorgeous it to reopen at 5 to relight the barbecue was refused. In order to avoid spoiling my mum's 70th I bit my tongue but the whole experience and thecsurliness of some of the staff when asked to, you know, actually serve their paying customers, left a bad taste.What kind of time to close the kitchen is 3pm anyway? It's driving away customers.Seriously, save your money and do what I did, go to the Three Crowns, and ordered a burger that was actually hot. I made sure to get the exact same food that I missed out on. At least they want your custom and have staff who want to help.Or if it's a family bash, bring a disposable barbecue and extra grub. If they refuse to relight (and let's face it, a gas barbecue isn't actually a proper barbecue) then pull it out and start doing your food on it. Seriously. If you dont get what you're paying for then make sure to make your displeasure known.

Beautiful pub in a beautiful location. Staff fantastic, great beers and food was even better. Outdoor fire pits being on even though not that busy was a really nice touch. It's a great pub for both winter and summer.

Went there for a second visit after a postive experience a while back. Sadly, while the service was good the quality of the food was very poor for all of us. Very disappointing.

Very nice restaurant but very pricy. Food was delicious, however, one of us got served the wrong dinner and another had half cooked chips and some were even bad. We did get a discount, but for the prices, you don't expect this. A large glass of wine was £9.50 and a pint of guiness nearly £7. Lovely service, our waitress was fantastic but may think twice about going again.

Went here for lunch after a fabulous time at the Spitfire experience in Wisborough Green. We presented our certificates and received an 8% discount on the food for the 'pilots' Food and service was excellent and the game pie delicious. Good wine list and selection of beers. Lots of parking, well sign posted, great place. We will be back!
