WAS Great meals. Lovely staff. Good beer. Superb. Mmmmmmm. All changed after Dec 2023 visit. Friday night we were just about the only people there. No atmosphere. 4 of us. Freezing cold they had not prepared the fire and warmed the place up. We were sitting there with our coats on. Food was nice but it has become immensely overpriced. I did have a couple of drinks my wife didn't. Average of two meal courses each. Bill was somewhere in the region of 180. It is simply pub grub. We can't justify 45 per head. They chose to include in our price a tip for a table of 4. We see now why the pub was empty on a Friday. Loved the place but cannot return. Sad.
Decent soup, OK chips, both overpriced but served by lovely staff in a very nice location.
Used to love coming here however the cost of meals and the quality has really taken a sharp turn in the wrong direction. 2 adults and 2 children to have a roast dinner and a pudding with a drink for nearly £140 is bonkers. Charged £5 for a kids Apple Juice which says it all.
Nice out of the way country pub, first time we visited was at the roke fest. Great atmosphere kid friendly good live music. Huge garden not sure what the food is like but I'm sure it's worth a taste.
We come from France and were on vacation in a cottage a few meters away from the pub. Our car had broken down and we had nowhere else to go to eat so we're glad we found this pub. The food was good, though a bit too pricey imo, but what we enjoyed the most was the warm welcome by the waiter. He was so friendly and nice, he clearly was the highlight of our unlucky and unpleasant holiday we just had. Everybody else in the county had been mean or unwelcoming to us, except for him. He spoke with us and seemed interested in us. Most importantly: he was smilling! He is the first english waiter/service person we saw smiling in the week. So, a huge thank you to you Sir for making us feel welcome and for making our last evening in the country, a success
