Inside, our pub has everything you could wish for in a traditional village local, including freshly prepared food, a fine selection of cask ales, open wood burning fires, traditional flagstone flooring and wooden beams, and extensive wine list. We also have a private function room that can cater for anywhere between 10 and 40 guests. Our outdoor seating areas are peaceful and relaxing, and you have a choice of seating, either overlooking the village green, where you can watch the world go by, or in our own colourful pub garden and patio area.

    Lunch was our halfway point in a ten mile walkout from a neighbouring village. We aware it was a fixed cutdown menu but had long intended to visit the pub having been to the other pub in the village several times and been impressed. The service, front of house, was very good, helpful and personable. However the food could only be described as average and there were long delays between courses. The biggest issue however was that it was freezing, no heating on leading to put our outside costs on. There was a fan heater at the bar end of the pub but not much use for diners. Overall disappointing and unlikely to return in a hurry. Not the best way to celebrate a birthday…

    One of the best roast dinners we've had in a long time! Food tasted home cooked, was plentiful and well presented and could be topped up with unlimited requests for extra vegetables and gravy at no additional cost. Service was continuous but not invasive or annoyingly over-attentive! It's a lovely old pub but with decent seating arrangements to be comfortable and not overly loud that we couldn't chat comfortably over dinner. Both agreed we'd go back again before we'd even left the car park! Well worth a visit!

    Our local pub, we miss Debbie and her crew who were here originally, but Chris and his team were very welcoming. Food as good as ever.

    We met members of our family here, because it’s halfway between our houses. Great food, excellent service, nice ambience. An all round great place to eat, highly recommended. It’s just a shame it’s not closer to where we live, because we’d go there more often.

    Fantastic Sunday dinner. Lovely starters and puddings as well as a really good roast. Loved the bottomless vegetable and gravy offer - although the portions were large enough that we didn't need to take advantage of these. Excellent service - would thoroughly recommend.
