Great traditional establishment. How an original English pub should be. Service was professional, and the atmosphere was friendly.

Son's took us for mother's day lunch 12.30 slot. It was lovely, service was good and roast dinner was excellent. Four different vegetables and plenty.

I've been using this pub for going on 50 years so we booked a table as a Mothers Day treat. What a major disappointment! We had to wait 90 minutes for our barely edible main courses! My 2 wafer thin slices of roast beef appeared to have come out of a packet and certainly not from a roast joint. The vegetables were no better having the appearance of coming out of the freezer. My wife had no roast potatoes and for some reason I had a stuffing ball with my beef. After asking to speak to the manager the best he could come up with was "we are busy" and "you have had your starters haven't you". Needless to say we won't be eating there again. Beer was good though!

Just come back from having a meal for mothers day what a let down , seated for half hour before someone even come then we was give starters after an hour was ok not the best then waited another 40 mins for the main, had the pork was all.frozen food dreadful, there was 6 of us and out of that our son had the best meal chips and nuggets, cancelled our puddings after being there 2 hours, couldn't be bothered to wait another hour to have a poor pudding over all don't waste your money was dreadful.

Abysmal, inedible food at outrageously inflated prices. Five years ago this place did incredible food and was winning rave reviews, to see how far it has fallen is really sad.We went here for Mother's Day and had the three-course set menu. Every single course was awful.The starter of soup was very clearly from a can, it had the same gelatinous wobble consistency and tastes exactly the same as the leading brand. This was enough of a shock, but it only got worse.For mains our party had Roast Beef and Roast Lamb Dinners. We were all in agreement that these were potentially the worst roast dinners we had ever had. Everything was disastrously overcooked to the point of losing both texture and flavour. Both meats were like bland tough old leather. The vegetables had been boiled to death to the extent that they had lost their colour and become dull mush, the green beans were particularly inedible. The potatoes were woeful and yet again massively overcooked; the mash was gloop and the roasties were similarly overcooked mush inside, and not all crispy on the outside. The only thing on the entire plate that wasn't completely ruined/unpleasant was the roast carrot. We all left the majority of these plates. It was genuinely unpleasant to eat.Still being hungry given the awfulness of the first two courses, we were desperately hopeful that dessert would be much better, I mean how much could one even ruin an Eton Mess? Quite a lot it turns out; for they forgot the meringue. It was merely a bowl of chopped up strawberries and cream. Admittedly it tasted okay so was probably the best of the disastrous meal, but not even by the most liberal application of the term could one describe what was served as 'Eton Mess' given the lack of the main ingredient; meringue.Being charged £25 per head and being served what I would honestly describe as hospital food, was outrageous. I can only assume that they did not have someone with any restaurant-level catering training whatsoever in the kitchen on the day that we visited given that they thought it anywhere near acceptable to serve food which is so very clearly ruined. Even a school dinner lady would know that what they served needed to the thrown out and started from scratch.The poor food was not helped by staff who were literally running around the restaurant and being short/blunt with customers, random broken Christmas decorations adorning the walls and rafters despite it being March, and a deafening roar from other customers which made it feel like a primary school canteen.So to summize; awful food, lacking service, and unpleasant aesthetic/vibes. For the first time in my life I was tempted to leave without paying given how poor the experience was. Alas we did not, we simply paid and got out as quickly as we could. It was quite upsetting given that this meal was a gift to our mother and we'd travelled from quite far away to this part of England in order to see her and celebrate with her. Shame on the owners.

Food was decent and hot, some staff were friendly and helpful. They weren't very busy but we had to wait quite some time for our lunch. Two desserts were ordered but after waiting approximately 20 minutes, we enquired after our desserts to be told they were just being plated. They arrived at our table after about another 8 minute wait. Not sure it arrived with an apology. However, food was hot and tasty again. Not sure what went wrong but an apology and smile goes a long way!

Been on multiple occasions, mainly for a drink in the garden but they do amazing large crusty ham and cheese cobs, definitely worth a visit, in beautiful countryside.
