Turned up on a cider festival, place was packed. Had their famous carvery, plain, simple, not over cooked and fresh. Service was very welcomed by our lovely, short hostess. Brilliant.
Have returned several times and it's always great service and meals

Visited this charming Village Pub yesterday for Sunday Lunch. Not from the area we took a chance and phoned to enquire. Spoke to a lovely Lady called Sarah who couldn’t have been more helpful. She said she’d check with the kitchen as we wanted a table for 5 and we had a small dog with us. She did indeed phone back and said they could fit us in on short notice. Arrived at the Pub which looks very quaint and well presented from outside. A little unconventional as it has a caravan site in the grounds. Inside we were given a warm welcome. A comfortable looking bar area leads into a lovely dining area with exposed beams and fairy lights. We were taken to another back room which was ok. The service was impeccable, the menu comprehensive and extremely reasonably priced. It was honestly one of the nicest Sunday Lunches we have had. The starter of creamy garlic mushrooms on Ciabatta was just sublime. The Lamb was so tender , roast potatoes and mashed potatoes, home made Yorkshires , cauliflower cheese , roasted carrots- everything was just amazing and so obviously home cooked. Add to this 2 huge gravy boats - everything cooked to perfection. Just so impressive especially considering the prices. Reasonably priced decent wine too.
Really worth a visit. Thank you and well done.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. I had a very tasty vegetarian Wellington. Husband had the beef, which was also delicious. Decent portions and at last we have found somewhere that gives you a decent jug of gravy! Hallelujah! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff..we will definitely be returning. Well done everybody 👏

Oh dear! Not a great experience - the staff were quite welcoming and looked to be busy and efficient - although not one of them checked back with us to see if the meal was OK or if we needed more drinks…. We arrived 10 mins early for a booked table, bearing in mind this was a Sunday set menu, it still took over 30 mins to bring our food…. Which was was nicely presented but did not live up to appearances, it was cold, the meat was tough, the roasted veg were virtually raw, all in all disappointing. The service was beyond slow, I’ve experienced faster moving glaciers, it alsotook 30 mins to bring puddings, one of which the other was supposed. to be check in with us we may have been able to express our disappointment at the time. One gentlemen literally had to wear his gloves the room was so cold and if you’re going to have high ceilings with pretty beams you really ought to have a hi-level cleaning regime in place to deal with cobwebs and general detritus from the build up of dust, needless to say a return visit is not planned.

Edit in response - no we didn’t complain, neither had the time nor the inclination, it’s your job to provide a proper service not mine. If the food was cooked fresh to order then I commend you on roasting beef and undercooking vegetables in 30 mins, that takes some doing, well done, doesn’t explain why it turned up cold though, if it was freshly cooked?? Maybe I’m just used to better, so I will take my lack of common sense to the nearest Toby, thank you for the recommendation, in the meantime you practice your finely tuned customer service skills, I particularly enjoyed your rudeness, that’s was proper special, lots of love Nicki xx

Visited for sunday lunch today. WOW! Honestly, the best in the area. Not a carvery, but not a lot dearer.
The service was excellent, the room is lovely, and the food.........
We will be back again, and very soon.
