    You do not expect such great food to come out of a very traditional country pub, with low beamed ceilings, dogs welcome and muddy boots outside. I loved the fact the food was like a fine dining restaurant would serve (but you have traditional pub warmers on the menu like sausage and mash) but the ambiance is of a warm relaxed local. The price was very reasonable for the quality of food.

    Excellent food, especially the liver & bacon as always. Fine wine. Service acceptable. Never disappoints. Hope to be back soon.

    Very nice as usual. We arrived with a very elderly relative, and staff were accommodating.

    Decent food, cosy pub. Only sell champagne in 20cl (£20) bottles, not by the glass, which is odd for a self described gastro pub.

    An excellent find - we will come again. The only slight problem was the state of the toilets, wet floor under urinals, only cold water and no towels.

    We are regular visitors to this lovely pub but Friday nights service was shambolic - constantly having to ask for items several times. The food was delicious as usual but service marred the evening I’m afraid.

    The pheasant was beautifully cooked, very tasty and moist, and vegetables well chosen and not overcooked. Just what I expected from previous visits. Recommended.
