We had Sunday lunch here for my birthday and it was lovely. Food and drink was brilliant. Good portions without over facing you. Nice atmosphere and all the staff were nice. Looks like it would also be a great place to come in the summer.Only small issue was we ordered stuffing each as and extra. When I came there was a lot! Would have been nice for the staff to have advised us on this. Very minor thing and obviously didn't have an impact on our visit.Can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay.

Booked for a family meal, couldn’t have chosen a better spot. Service was excellent - prompt and attentive without hurrying us along. Menu has a great range of pub classics and lighter fare, and our food tasted excellent. With the fire lit aswell, this was a perfect autumn afternoon! 👌

Ate here as part of a larger party today.The pub is smartly presented but fairly typical of a more upmarket countryside place. Nothing spectacular but a nice place to be. Table I felt was very cramped, party of 10 on a table which would normally seat 8 only with a chair jammed on each end. Restaurant was very warm, uncomfortably so at times.Service was excellent, all of the servers who touched our table were personable and just the right level of casual.Food was of a good standard all round. My risotto was tasty, if a bit strangely presented. Not sure any veggie risotto is worth the near £20 price tag mind. The price probably being inflated by the chefs using out of season asparagus.I’m unsure of the menu is dictated to the kitchens by a chain pub head office or whether the kitchen is autonomous but a more seasonal choice of vegetable would probably be a good idea.Still, it was tasty all the same.Most people on our table had a Sunday roast and the reviews were good all round. Generous portions and tasty food.Dessert was nice, most of us had the chocolate tart. Very vice and a large portion. Base was quite thick and required a knife to get through rather than the provided spoon.I feel there is equal or nicer food available locally for a cheaper price but if you do choose to come here you’ll have a decent meal with good service.

The pub itself is very nice and the staff were helpful and polite. The breakfast menu is very poor and does not consider those that may have a dairy allergy or intolerance. There is a vegetarian option, but that includes cheese and egg. There was no alternative spread for toast other than butter. Also, which I thought was rather odd, ‘avocado’ with breakfast transpired to be extremely spicy guacamole, when I expected slices of avocado. It was delicious but a bit strange served with baked beans, mushrooms and tomatoes. Also, I specifically asked for no dairy and my breakfast came with a bowl of butter on the plate. I did not see the evening menu, but I would be inclined not to go there again for food if the breakfast menu is anything to go by.I eat plant-based through choice, however, not everyone has that choice. The menu needs to offer a wider selection IMHO. I attach a photo of what I was left with once dairy items removed.

Went there to eat, good service but when we pointed out to waiter that our steak pies tasted good but were lacking in meat. The service did slip was going to leave a good tip but that slipped as the service slipped.

My wife and I were looking for a pub for a family meeting. The staff were friendly and helpful, but we decided on somewhere else.
We will, however be returning when we are on our own.
