   Atmospheric pub with great roaring fires. Would have liked a local beer on tap. Good food. Service a fraction slow but there was a party going on.

   Fantastic food and gorgeous pub. Staff were so lovely. Small car park and the tables are quite close together, meaning that when it’s busy it is quite loud

   I really love this pub. I sat in the potting shed and there were just a few other people. (It was Monday!) The bench had cushions it was very comfortable and we were looking at the rolling hills in the sunshine. The staff were all really friendly and kind to my dog. I had asparagus which was very good followed by the Five Bells Goan chicken curry also delicious. Then we went for a walk in the fields. It was all lovely.

   Ambience very nice. Nice pub setting with style and busy but cosy atmosphere. Food is very good perhaps slightly on the small side. Service was OK. Friendly although we ended up being served by 4 different staff. The two male waiters were sadly uninterested in our enjoyment of our night. No table water unless we asked. When we ordered mains no questions for sides? When the arrived they were just left and hecwas gone! No concern if we needed sauces etc. I had to get up twice to get service. Both males had to learn to smile...it was more a reluctant grimace like wind?! Finally we had to change our wine but both were added to our bill. Manager was very polite and friendly but was putting out fires and looked under pressure. Would visit again but would be more prepared in respect of service

    Our celebratory lunch with family members was a lunch to remember for all the right reasons. Staff were very welcoming, polite and most professional. Food was delicious and plentiful. We will return.
