Had a wonderful family roast dinner at short notice. Was also offered non roast options which is important to us as not all family members like them. A great find. Will be back

Such a lovely lunch and 3 different sizes to cater for the small/medium or large appetite. Really impressed with the food all cooked to perfection and as I've just moved to the area I am delighted to have found this place and will certainly be back

Can not comment on rooms but took my old parents to the Ridgeway for Father's day meal and the roast was amazing. The seating was spacious we ordered the general mixed meat roast the size of the portion was very generous and was the best roast I had in a restaurant highly recommended.

Can not comment on rooms as did not stay there. However, Sunday lunch was awesome as usual, and the landlord his usual happy self. Great service and always more veg or gravy available on request if required. Dog friendly a bonus. Lovely in the winter when they have the log fires going. Great place to take the whole family

Just by chance popped in here for a bite to eat, welcomed by our host and clearly told that food would be 30 minutes minimum due to a walk in 12 top that had just arrived, we accepted this and ordered some excellent Otter Ale. Food was definitely worth the wait! Cod and Mediterranean vegetables was delicious as was 'er indoors salmon Wellington, potato gratin and vegetables. 2 spotless plates sent back to the kitchen. Highly recommend a visit. Unhurried, relaxed atmosphere, good ale and great grub!

This was an amazing meal out. The good was delightful and the staff couldn't do enough for us. The fillet steak was cooked to perfection and my crab pasta was absolutely gorgeous. The desert menu was amazing. Everything was Covid safe.
