Never visited this place before, watch the low ceiling!
Wonderful food and drink, and just look at this desert, artistically presented and delicious. I can see why this venue has stood the test of time.

What an absolute shambles.

King prawn starter (apparently) straight out of an Iceland bag of prawns under cold water. Flavourless, pale and soggy. Lettuce was brown around some edges and the Marie sauce was so bland. Best thing about the starter was the added salt.

The main, belly pork and scallops. Belly pork was overdone and chewy, scallops were over done and awfully rubbery. Jus was OK and the veg was a soggy mess.

£7.25 for the starter and £19.95 for the main. Yes £7.25 for a bag of prawns from Iceland and brown lettuce.

Absolute joke. Yuk and never again.

Lovely pub. Lots of outdoor and indoor seating. The menu is available all day and a very diverse choice. We had the burger and lasagna. Both very tasty. Staff very friendly and reasonably priced.

First visit for a while with family of 7. Waited ages to be served. Ordered sea bass which was like a wafer but to be fair got me another but had to eat on my own. The burger was lovely but the 5 cooked dinners were disappointing. As we dined at 4 appeared to have pre packed roasties which were tangy, Yorkshire were cheap frozen ones, carrot was ok but other veg was hard. Very disappointing and won’t be going back.

Nice looking pub, nice inside. My partner tried to order a cocktail when we arrived only to be told 'we don't do that' when asked what did he mean he response was 'we don't do that'. No explanation as to why not just very blunt. Left my partner feeling stupid as if she asked for something out of the ordinary. If you don't do it then get it off the menu! Very rude! The chicken pie was all puff pastry barely any filling. I ordered the hunters chicken schnitzel which tasted nice to be fair but the meal overall was small in size for the price had to order a side salad to go with it as it came with literally 2 leaves. The mains were a little bit overpriced for what they were especially the schnitzel at nearly £16 and came with a few chips. I was going to order the curry but I seen it was £17 which is unbelievable for chicken curry and rice!! The desserts were really nice though. I wouldn't come here again as I don't believe it's good value for your money. We came as a group of 6 but for my partner an myself our food came to £80. She had 2 cocktails 2 for £12 I had water. No starters. 2 mains and a dessert each, banoffee pie and a modern take on a black forest gateaux which was brilliant i loved that. And a garlic bread which is not on the menu.

Very nice and cozy place for a coffee or food. We had Sunday roast and the vegetarian option was very nice. The staff is really lovely and attentive. We booked online which is very easy and they gave us a very nice table close to the fireplace. I will come back sometime.
