Had a fantastic meal. Excellent, attentive service, couldn't do enough to make our evening even more enjoyable. Great, friendly atmosphere. Nice to see somewhere that welcomed dogs too.

Sadly, despite a good lunch on a previous visit two years ago, this time we were served a very poor quality chicken leek and ham pie that you might get at a chip shop, chips that you would get better at a chip shop and the peas were missing. Other meal was apparently very hot. After paying the bill, I discovered that we'd been charged for a desert that we'd not had.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. We played skittles which was fun. Food was average, cold pies and undercooked pastry. Chips out of a bag.

Went with a friend for Sunday Lunch in late October.Booked by phone last minute, arrived to a great welcome.Had a generous starter of white bait.And the Roast Beef main course…With an extra Yorkshire! Wow amazing.Shared a bottle of red wine.Too full for dessert sadly.Waitress was friendly but not intrusive and did a great job.The price was excellent for Sunday lunch for two. Thoroughly recommend the Sunday lunch.Will return on next visit to the UK ??

What an absolute gem of a pub! It's lovely inside and very comfortable, with a shady beer garden at the rear and plenty of parking. Right in the centre of this very nice village, with the village shop opposite. The staff are unbelievably friendly and definitely have the hospitality gene. There is a main menu and a lunch deal, which is a bit smaller but still gives you the option of two courses for £12.50 and 3 for £17.50. My mother had the carrot and coriander soup and the Belgian Waffle and ate the lot (she's nearly 91) and said it was delicious. My husband and I had the Sausage & Mustard Mash in a yorkshire pudding. It was great but I would have preferred my gravy on the side to add when I wanted it because it made the Yorkshire pudding soggy. They love dogs here and both of ours were made very welcome. We will definitely return. It was a very nice lunch in a lovely village pub.

Brilliant pub with really amazingly friendly landlady we arrived at the pub very tired and hungry after a gruelling day we were greeted with a smile and we asked about food landlady told us that the chef was out for supplies, we thought oh no we will have to go somewhere else but no she went above and beyond to make us welcome and gave us a menu we chose two burgers with rosemary salted fries, when food came with onion rings fresh lettuce a gherkin and tomatoes homemade beef burgers a delicious burger sauce and real heinz tomato ketchup in a bottle not those annoying sachets the burger was large and juicy and all the accompliments were delicious washed down with a cold glass or two of diet coke all in all a great experience. I would definitely return at another time all pubs should be as welcoming as this to weary traveller's as I have already stated the landlady went above and beyond to make us welcome even asking if we required a sweet but we were already full due to the large portions thanks so much from Dave and Mike
